whos a better emcee RAKIM or METHOD MAN

you were a fetus when rakim changed rap forever with a whole new style, how can u compare him to an afterthought nahmsayin

Even Method man would say Rakim.....Without Rakim, method man wouldnt be method man...You cant say a dope rapper is better than a dope rapper who inspired/influenced every other rapper on this planet. I love meth more than the next guy, but we're talking about Rakim here.

*Plays "I ain't no Joke"*

if ya talkin bout me im not sayin mef is better, just diff, and again i understand im yung but rakim did publish shit ryte, which means i can hear it later, im not like these other teens that bump lil jon all day and never herd big l's shit, i grew up wit old school shit and i have a natural understanding of it, so wuts the diff wen i herd it, the thing is i herd it and it hit me just like it hit a 16 yr old back wen it came out

Luv Meth but I gotta go wit Rakim!

To Me Rakim is slightly better. He paved the way.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! thats pathetic

you cannot compare rakim to method man rakim is on a completely different level then method man is,

RAKIM for me.
but it´s true that the comparison is bullshit. Can you compare DJ Q-Bert to Grandmaster Flash??? of course q-bert got better skills(which i doubt in meth´s case) but flash changed the role of the hip hop dj forever. he invented so much shit(he even modified the equipment etc.)
