great strength is the rhyming i think - complex rhyme schemes that always sound good, compliment the rhythm perfectly. and were also groundbreaking for the time, and still hold up today.
rhythm wise, very solid. changes the patterns very naturally, never rushes, and can kick those double time flows/trills so well. BUT he does tend to reuse the same patterns from track to track so you know what to expect, which is cool, i guess the mentality of the day was your patterns were your footprint/signature (although... those old guys did use eachothers patterns an awful lot...), however i think there's a higher plain where that doesn't happen (see: Monch, Acey, Em...)
ppl talk about the lisp, but it's easy to make out what he's saying, plus he sounds cool IMO, along with the accent. it's always a great feature when you KNOW who it is soon as the voice comes on.
maybe where he stumbles somewhat is intonation and cadence. it all kinda sounded the same... though maybe i'm just not remembering properly. -------------------- Why do you choose to mimic these wack MCs? Why do you choose to listen to R&B?
