at this point, rapping is kinda like playing guitar - anybody can learn the basics, some people can do it at a virtuosic level, but for it to really resonate beyond competency, youโ€™ve got to bring something special, something intangible, something substantive to the table.

the whole โ€œbackhanded compliment of ELUCIDโ€ discourse is really very irritating and reflects a narrow understanding of what makes an MC. he is not ancillary. I know we live in a culture that prizes deification, but weโ€™re not dealing with a lesser god here.

the fact that Co Flow dropped the Funcrusher EP in the year after Illmatic (1995, another one for the 9-5, @zillarocca ) is nothing short of remarkable. unreal. a quantum leap. and that's not to discredit Nas, of course. but Jus and El pushed things substantially forward.
