The Treach and rappers for Trump has me thinking about the concept of street knowledge so I had this rap nerd idea of plotting artist by two factors, Streetness and Knowledge/Wisdom.

So let's say streetness was ranked from 1 (kid from suburbs with no street credibility) and 10 (from the streets, did and is doing street shit) on the X axis. Maybe Drake or Lil Dickey would be a 1 and Conway or Beanie Seagals is like a 9 or 10 (I am not a street dude so please feel free to question my rankings on that end of the spectrum).

and the Y axis you have knowledgable/wisdom ranked from 1 (a complete dumbass with dumb content) to 10 (dropping real knowledge and wisdom). So as a 1 on the knowledge scale you have, IDK, riff raff? and a 10 you would have, IDK Chuck D or Common or RZA (I can see this end of the spectrum getting controversial. And artist can be street smart versus academic smart or an artist can be smart in his music but dumb in his real life). Anyway, I think you get the idea.

I think so our all time favorite rappers would rank high on both scales like Tupac or Nipsey, Wu-Tang, Nas or Jay-Z. But I am curious to see how people rank artist on these two factors.

I would do this as a poll and average results if I can figure out how to do online.

Anyway, I will list the artist, and you rank by the two factors. Feel Free to add Artist as well.

(BTW, yes this is some rap nerd shit but this is the best election day distraction I could think of. )
