By right this should have been the final,gonna go with KRS-One because Rakim will win this match up regardless.

[HigherThanTheSun]

Oh damn this ain't fair. I'm not even gonna vote. Actually yes I will, KRS One, because Rakim is overrated 🫢

Epic old-school face-off.

Rakim is not overrated. He's the best of the old-school MCs.

[OK Microwave]

I voted Rakim, of course. He was going to be my first nominee, but someone got to it before I could.

[Saoirse]

Yep, a brutal first-round matchup. Going solely on the basis of their MC skills I'll go with Rakim

[Hayden]

KRS-One.

The two most important rappers ever. I went with Rakim, he was the first one who rhymed more than one syllable at the end of a line. And he is arguably the most concise rapper ever, he rarely wastes a word in a genre where artists routinely waste verses.
