Hell, here's from the Phrenology thread on OKA

"majority of the time dude, until recently, was "rhymin for the sake of riddlin.""

"back to my "rhymin for the sake of riddlin'." common has put out three lyrical gems. black has put out? this is not sarcasm, just a query. i mean don't get me wrong, black thought is an incredible mc to me."

"Let me just say, that Thought is one the best MC's of our times. He's an effing machine. But for all his superior ryhming skill and capability his failure has been releatability. I had to be honest with myself (as Thought is my favorite MC) and evaluate why love the cat so much. It comes down to his technical genius and raw execution. But I realized that Thought is not the MC to me that say, Q-Tip is (not that Tip is superior). It's that ability to exude your personality (ala Mos Def or Jay-Z) through your lyrics that Thought lacks. Perhaps he is just, "Black Thought", the deep weirdo cat. Or at least that's what I gather from his lyrics. But not many people relate to a cat like that. "

"BT is nice but he lacks guided content. A lot of his lyrics are like written freestyles, not very concept oriented. I don't think he is anywhere close to Pharoah Monch. Pharoah is a monster with the flow and content. Rass Kass is by far a better MC."
