3023019, Watch me compare them in hip-hop.

While I wouldn't argue that J Cole is a better rapper (considering the total package of what constitutes a rapper) than Tupac, J Cole is easily a more technically proficient rapper than Tupac based on flow and lyrical complexity of his rhymes.

Like-wise Method Man is more technically proficient than, IDK, offset.

GOAT list are generally hard because GOAT status has to consider the totality of an artist and it's hard to compare artist on the same scale when they have different strengths and weakness and the music of an artist era had different sensibilities, but that doesn't mean you can't compare artist in specific qualities that make a good rapper.

Biggie has a better voice then Kendrick, though they are from two different eras.

And so on.
