who had the better delivery in their style, rakim or pun?
-
no diss to apun but I give it to Ra. Rakim's flow in his era was second to none, maybe Big Daddy Kane but that's it. Ra had a presence on the mic his flow wasn't too fast or too slow, it was just right. Combined with his lyrical ability his voice was sharp. -
lol Rakim by far.Comment

Man, you should have made it a lyrical comparison, In the area of delivery it isn't even close, Rakim.Comment

I'm a huge fan for both.
But they were two different deliveries...
Big Pun could switch his delivery up when Rakim was consistently the same kind of rhymer. And honestly Pun came off much more thorough than Rakim. The way he dropped on certain verses like 'Pina Colada' or 'Triplets' was straight hard as ****. Rakim was the smoother flower and was always liquid, but Puns delivery was more intense.Comment

I'm certain that people who are so quick to discredit or write Pun off have never really listened to his material. He easily earned the place to be mentioned or debated with against all time great MCs.Originally posted by fasman View PostComment

I've listened to quite a few of his material, i think he truly deserves to be top 20, possibly top 15 yet compared to RAKIMOriginally posted by Scrappy Diggs View Post

Yea but we are talking about style/delivery. Pun's delivery was fierce and his lyrics are as good as anyone to do it. I don't think its far fetched to compare his style to Ra.Originally posted by fasman View PostI've listened to quite a few of his material, i think he truly deserves to be top 20, possibly top 15 yet compared to RAKIM
His clever punchlines actually far surpass Rakim's. Lyrically Pun can be considered top 3 to do it, the wit in his lyrics was genius and exceptional.Comment

big pun was good but not that good as rakim. plus people only consider big pun as the best latin rapper of all times.
