In my personal opinion and experience with the movement, PE,Kane,Rakim share a common trait with Kweli.... to me, you disagree and I respect that...

like i said growing up i was all about Kane, PE, KRS, ATCQ... but as they slowly faded, there was avoid for and it was the likes of Kweli, Mos, The Roots, Common that re-ignited my love for the game....


but i understand your argument... skill wise...
