"However, it remains that he doesn't have the notariety like an LL, Kane, Jigga, Big, Pac, etc...He doesn't have household name status yet."

its music.. not a personality contest...

though that may hold him back when comparing Thought to someone as good as him... like Krs One or Pharoahe Monch...

but not people like Kane, Jay Z, LL, Pac and Big who are no way seeing Black Thought...

emceeing skills a more important than personality.. if not then Snoop would be the GOAT..

its funny these people saying Thought has limited subject matter..dont know why.. but are quick to mention Jay Z over him when all his albums are the same and has very weak subject matter....
