For me it comes down to Tip vs Sadat and I'll give the slight edge to Tip. Never was a big Puba fan. Jamar is cool. Phife is mediocre to me. Overall BR would get the nod

5. Phife
4. LJ
3. Puba
2. Sadat

I'll give him LET but that's it. Dude was corny to me. I didn't know
he was favored until I started posting here. I've seen a few folks
say Phife > Tip which is blasphemous IMO.

Though overall I like Tribe MUCH better and believe they made MUCH better albums I can't deny that Phife is worse than everyone in Brand Nubian lyrically

Who is cornier in 2014?


Jamar with his chiming in about his beliefs re: hip hop or Q-tip who simply excels at being dope?
