    My pick is probably Lupe or Doom because of their lyrical technicalities, Common because he's common, Kanye because he's ye or Cole because he graduated ITT Tech with some degree

    Also that yeah

    But when I watch interviews with rappers who say s--- like 'u know what I'm sayinnn' every single line they look dumb as s--- to me.. but they might be intelligent and its just a gimmick/way to look cool
