    This is true but like u said subjective as well. I think lil uzi is a solid rapper but his voice sounds like s--- to me so I can't enjoy his music. Which isn't me saying 'he sux' but just that I don't listen to it except a few songs

    Yeah definitely it's all subjective. I used to listen to Connor as well and I though this Flint mixtape, whatever it was called, was not that bad

    Completely honest I never listened to him aside from his verses on Compton. Which were fine. But I listened to the song @Ricky posted itt and I thought the same a few people said; dude can rap! But would I listen to this song again? Nah. I like to hear impressive rapping on a song , but only like once or twice. Sonically it has to impress me to make me go back to it. Good verses/rapping or lyrics only do a little for me if I don't like the overall sound.

    Now I know Ricky loves bars and straight rapping so I 100% understand the appeal Connor has on him and others that feel the same way.

    I do think the poll is a little weird tho, people say he's a good rapper itt yet say he's a bad rapper in the poll lol

    Better to say he's a good rapper but his music doesn't appeal to me / is bad

    And cam's mostly boring to me unless I identify with the killa cam personality he has which is hilarious. It's just like I hear his music a lot and go "why did I like this?" the. I see the video of him spitting in the face of a 5 yr old girl and I go "ohhhhhhh"

    Banks never made anything as good as Purple Haze, SDE, Come Home With Me, Diplomatic Immunity, the list goes on.

    completely disagree about em now vs then. He certainly has *more* punchlines now but they’re largely corny and tryhard. Back then he sounded effortless and smooth and actually had charisma. Content on slim shady LP/ep is way better too. Rock Bottom, Role Model, Murder, Murder, brain damage etc. What people supposedly love about em now is he just raps his a--- off but he did that in the late 90s except it sounded way better. Compare just don’t give a f--- or bad meets evil to s--- he does now.

    “These bars are like covid I get it right off the bat” is something your dad would say that makes you groan.

    Like I think MTBMB is a solid effort and exactly what late-career em should be doing but comparing it to slim shady LP is insanity. It’s like when people say 4:44 is better than reasonable doubt or the blueprint.

    His performance alone puts him in top 20 all time imo

    The only option I'll accept to this question is "I have no idea".

    And still, Dark Fate did JC better than Aftermath did.
