I give Mos easily a 9 if not 10 in Knowledge. Wise, learned, and it shows up in his rhymes.
On Street I give him 7 or 8. Grew up in the projects but I think he was more of a stoop kid kept on a short leash by his mom. I think the difference between him and a Nas is that I feel like Nas was hanging with the real street dudes as he got older and I think Mos was probably off to arts high school (is that right?).
