AnotHer collabo where Bun B holds his own (and against an all time great too) <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Bjsn9ifTwMg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
No order Big Krit Face Andre Big Boi Ludacris 8 Ball Wayne Missy Killer Mike Phonte (J cole would be on the list but he really started in New York)
In order? Nice I liked that collab with Talib Kweli you posted as well. I've seriously never heard anyone call Bun an average rhymer. Maybe dude was speaking more on Pimp C. Interesting... you are talking about Missy Elliot, right? She definitely has her own style and is very, very innovative and talented. How many females last long who don't have perfect frames showing plenty skin and/or wear tight clothes? Timbaland on her beats didn't hurt either. She also discovered sexy 702, who had a couple of hits. 702 Krit and Killer Mike are getting some nice props. Ima have to explore them as I haven't been hardcore on Hip-Hop (or any music) since about 2007. Post some of your favorite tracks from them if you're inclined. Killer Mike and Chammillionaire were nice on this <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Y_Ibw1o5ebU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
everything you posted is pretty much what ive come to expect from him so i know were not going to see eye to eye on that and this is a forum based in a texas market so obviously im not winning any arguments here regarding bun b. i just think bun when compared to some of the more skilled rhymers he pales in comparison. hes extremely simplistic lyrically, you can post 100 videos and he will sound the same in all of them. he will get you nodding your head but he just wont wow you with a 16 regarding wordplay, metaphors, similes, multis, punches or anything of that nature.. he does his flow/style thing great, for his demographic he is great. anyway, sheesh that beans verse is certified dookie, tf was he thinking i would think that it was a throwaway but its on his own album, and talib one of the greats? uhh ok..
Using the criteria you listed above Kweli absolutely has to be in the conversation for say top 20 ever if not better, would you disagree?
i'm sorry what? i can't hear you over all this complexity to his word play, metaphors, multisyllabic, and punches of that nature <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wVjk9firE9s" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
