[K-Rino Talking]

A lot of discussion about this topic
It's going on right now, so let me clarify
Who's the best ever?
Hahaha

[VERSE 1]

Who's the best rapper ever?
Many people debate long
First thing you have to determine is what it's based on
Is it setting a cultural tone, or making great songs?
But this is a subject most people evaluate wrong
Can one artist ever be held?
One method that never fails is the deceptive spell that is reflected by record sales
Many went platinum but hell there's other factors that tell how a cat can prevail even when he's not rapping as well
As an artist who isn't handed an exorbitant chance
A big budget with an advance and a guarding marketed plan
That targets the fans from near and the farthest of lands and places the largest audience in the palm of his hands
It's so much involved that it's impossible to try and solve the topic forever stalled and perpetual dialogue
Plus there's a section of those with unquestionable flows who got silent followers eventhough they're lesser exposed so WHO'S THE BEST EVER?

[VERSE 2]

Every year I've been hearing the talk about who's career is the most surperior
But what's never made clear is the qualifying criteria
Some lyrically sever, some write stories that's clever
You have to consider different rap categories and eras
Talking and sharing, arguments fans often having, get lost because they talk different styles cross comparing
A top 40 pop chart top and commercialized
Rappers different from the type who can lyrically murdered guys
Solo artists and groups been around since the youth of the movement
Early contributions were lost in the music's evolution
Many originals who helped root the institutions are victims of noninclusion cause time cruelly consumed em
So being an innovator of is not a component
Cause media is known to uplift those to hot at the moment
National magazines only put who's popular on it
We watch and condone it, take what they do, copy and clone it

[VERSE 3]

Rap gets infinite play
Thousands of artists be spittin' a day
To proclaim a single best, there's no definitive way
You can span a terrain, poll every fan in the game and the answer would never land on a unanimous name
Multiple evidence to why certain Rappers we hold in reverence
Could be cultural relevance or just personal preference
Millions'll listen just through the diaspora or broken down? in the continents, countries, states, cities and little towns
I straight up confess, it could take decades to assess
Who be labeled the greatest? Many Rappers phrases are Blessed
So I stray from the mess and let the rest debate and contest, cause most people don't know the difference between favorite and best
Some people are geographically biased beyond length
Where an artist is born and raised, shapes his content
And it's thousands of unknown true masters of words
So The Best Ever could be a rapper you never heard
