they're not separate...it's not I asked who is the better lyricist...or whose music has been the best....or who has had the most commercial cds? it's who's the better MC?

and all the above criteria is a part of determining if rapper x is better than rapper A...because in the end a rapper's place in the pantheon is based on his (or her) overall career which is why someone like Kool G Rap, for instance, who is a pioneering MC, isn't regarded as a unanimous top 10 MC even though most rappers respect his lyricism and many east coast MCs have admitted he's had a big influence on them...
