>modern day grand puba? lol

yep. Legendary talent but half assed most of his career

>puba made classics with two different groups and by

he has no classic album with or without Brand Nubian. In God We Trust
is the only classic out of that group IMO.

>
>as well as produced classics for others

name these classics because I'm not aware of his classic productions. I'm sure I've heard the songs though.

>this puba talk is nonsense

no it's not. he's overrated. none of his albums are classics and even the people he's worked with said he was lazy.

no. i'm saying that Mos is a dude who had legendary talent but didn't live up to it. You can see Puba's influence on east coast hip hop during the early 90's. He had impact. Mos, not so much. I can't point out the people he influenced. No way am I putting El-P over Puba even though I dig El's music more.
