Greatest Artist Catagorized

[Sleepy]

Ofcourse it is Impossible to say there is one and only one greatest artist of all time... so I decided to see who ya'll thought if I catagorized by what makes a great MC.... here are mine...(please post using my criteria and only 3 for each catagory)

1. Greatest Lyricsist - (Lyrics are deep, and complex,revolutionary and even original)
- Rakim - example: "Follow The Leader"
- Nas example: "New York State of Mind, Life's a Bitch"
- 2pac example: Most of his work, most memorable "Till the end of time"

2. Greatest Story-Teller - (Should be able to perfectly convey an occurence or chain of events vividly)
- Slick-Rick example: "Children's Story" and "Mona Lisa"
- Kool G Rap - "Operaton CB"
- Ice Cube - "Today was a Good Day" most of his old skool hits.

3. Greatest Multiple (multi) spittin' Rhymer - (Should have an excellent structure with multiple rhymes per bar that actually make sense unlike Cynical G. ha ha... LYRICAL ASSASSINS BITCH!!!)
- KOOL G RAP - examples: "Fast-Life feat. NAS" and most of his live n let die Album"
- AZ- examples: AZ nearly always spits madd multis most memorably "Sugar Hill".
- BIG L - examples: "Put it on Big L", most of his shit is madd multiple.

4. Most Meaningful-Mind provoking - (must have actual intellect and spit knowledge)
- Talib Qweli examples The track with dead-prez and most of his work is ill.
- Mos Def - Oh man.. this is one of my favorite MC's all of his shit is ill.
