@@Leon-ly3gubut he does have a lot of complex bars and it’s not just impressive because of that. It’s impressive because it’s freestyle, the word play, double entendres, and the way he sets up everything. Not to mention he used drop mixtapes and once he rapped on other people’s beats they might as well have been his songs after he was done. It’s an opinion that’s he’s a goat, but an opinion that a lot of people would agree with. No disrespect just giving my opinion as well bro lol. I know sometimes people argue in the comments, but feel free to respond. I would like to hear your feedback and who your top 5 rappers are.
