King Geedorah is probably my favourite album of his but he puts out so much dynamite material.

Rap Snitch Kanishes stays on rotation.

He's definitely up there man. But i really hate GOAT discussions. At the end of the day, music is subjective, and you can make too many arguments for other artists.

But i will say, he has one of the most consistent discographies. With how vast it is, its quite impressive.

 

[Regret Truth]

Top 5 fa sho.

 

[IamDodongo]

You bumped the thread for that?

 

[Nabs]

Just revisiting Vaudeville Villain and man, his pen game is insane. I really got into Doom that summer with both Geedorah and VV1. A crazy 1-2 punch with the beats and rhymes.

 

[trixx]

He's one of the best for sure. Extremely unorthodox but great.

 

[IrishNinja]

like as someone in their late 30's that had their first hip hop purchase being the juice OST on cassette (thanks columbia house) i'm kinda tired of LOL DUSTHEAD etc type posts but this thread is really dusty

worth the bump

HAHAHAAHH this, he's good but top 5?

Naw son... naw.

 

[Hip Hop]

he's nowhere near my top 50.

 

[Kelsdesu]

[Benjamin_MFF]

I would agree if he made it out to shows. I haven't listened to his work since.

 

[Goldboy]

Lol, I like a lot of DOOM's work but this is on point. And no way is he the greatest. Maybe Top 25.

 

[Dmented]

LOL. DOOM is nice but that's hilarious.

Why Phife? I love Tribe but I don't think anyone really holds Phife in that of high regard as a lyricist and rapper.

 

[Sevket-Erhat]

Deele - Shoot Em Up Movies

 

[8BitsAtATime]

He’s better than Pac

 

[Anung]

I seen him a few years ago and it was actually him so idk.

 

[Ninja Dom]

This guy is the greatest rapper ever. Max B, creator of the wavyness.

Why Phife? I love Tribe but I don't think anyone really holds Phife in that of high regard as a lyricist and rapper.

i can point to specific tribe tracks where phife's charisma/lyricism just carried the song, but before your time in gaf-hop, blackace (DJ that moved to japan, he was our heart & soul that put heads onto e40 & other truth, argued weird but fair shit like big boi's consistency > andre 3000, phife on the mic likewise >> qtip (even if i couldn't cosign that) etc as gospel. he was that ddue.

phife's solo LP never clicked with me but what he added to tip's production/vocals was so essential it's like saying how would gang starr sound with guru on the mic over someone less than premier's beats. he's the the type of dude that stays underappreciated until you try to picture any classic track without him: q-tip is my shit, but let's be real: paul simon wouldn't have reached those heights without art garfunkel.
