We are talking greatest RAPPERS
not greatest rap BANDS of all time which The Roots is the best because not only because they are the only one but they are actually good.


Again, when ppl speak of great RAPPERS they go by lyrics, content and flow.
What do the tuba player, trumpet player or Thames Poyser have to do with tariqs lyrics?

E40 got BARS and HITS

And you're telling me the roots got MAJOR hits and only ones I can think of is Badu and Do You want more.

Roots as a band collectively is pretty good.
Can't doubt that.

But to say TARIQ is a better rapper than Earl Stevens from the hillside is INSANE.
Tariq don't have the body of work E40 do.
Nothing memorable.
Nothing game changing.
Be honest, if Ahmir died in 1997 what would Tariq and the rest of them be doing?
Bagging groceries at Aldi

And this whole thing started when OKP constantly shat on fourty water.
I couldn't allow that shit to happen.
And to expose the truth is to show that Tariq as a rapper ain't the main attraction on his squad.
That afro and afro pick is what pays their bills

Just be honest.
