There is NOOOOO

maybe in general sugject matter but he DEFINITELY gives it to you differently on each album trust me you dont want to argue that hes the same on each album, he has the ability to do the same shit in infinitely different ways and always come off dope

However, Com

>etcccc.

thought gives you battle rhymes for days, he can tell a story and paint a picture beautifully and if you doubt me then listen to the girl-joints panic the soundtrack joints and "glitches" is just ridiculously vivid/poetic (amazing), who said being political was an area of MCing? listen to illadelph and see if he doesnt express opinions on joints like what they do and no alibi while still flowing like a magician, bragadocious thats his expertise, hes done the love thing while story tellin u know that (and although he doesnt get all emotional he still does it well)


Thought uses

have you heard him go from "glitches" to his verse on "locked down"(from dice raw's album) to his guest verses on les nubians "taboo remix" to "panic" to "no alibi" to "silent treatment" and "you got me" and "what you want" to "what they do" to his spots on "mumia 911" and "burnin&lootin"???????
