      @@ericknabenshue5689 Let me start by acknowledging that locksmith has outstanding delivery, a nice flow, intricate rhyming, a huge sense of political engagement, and many other qualities. That being said when we are talking goat we are talking about the legends of hip hop, dead or alive you can pick Ice cube, Nas, KRS, Rakim, Eminem, Notorious and more depending on your sensibilities. All around Locksmith is excellent, but I just think it's putting too much on his shoulders to say he is definitely better than most of the all time greats.

      TheSeas721 I strongly disagree, as one of this dislikes is from me.
      I don’t expect you to understand my perspective anymore more than u might assume I know yours, but regardless of ur perspective the fact of the matter is, while his ability to speak a message with unbelievably brilliant insight and cadence has just a bit to much white hatred for my taste. I take offense to his overgeneralization personally and while there are undeniably valid kernels of truth at the roots of his views, his venomous words go further than required to speak the “truth” and plant seeds of animosity against an entire race of people, rather than to simply inspire another. Impressionable kids listen to him and receive a overly simplified version of reality that will aide them in determining their perception. So that’s why I personally hit thumbs down.

    No one spreads so many truths and concepts the way locksmith uses wordplay and significant vocabulary to educate his listeners. This is cypher mastery. So you heard other people saying goat and you heard the debates. Well locksmith challenged the entire industry and did it without selling out or cheapening the message. The label, the body of work, the freestyles... he hasnt had the catchiest tracks blasted over the radio, so what thats why its so good because it goes against the scrpit of the media led propagation of violence and jail mentality.

    EDIT: Oh btw i said what i said bc nowadays the most talented artist arent the ones who are becoming millionaires and in an age where free music is everywhere its even more important now more than ever to support our favorite artists by buying their music and not just listening to it for free. The mainstream artists dont need ur money, go ahead and listen to their garbage for free but we should all try our best to support the truly talented among us who arent simply being backed million dollar promotion or popular music executives with industry pull.

    Lock is badas$ freestyler. Possibly the best ever and as a lyricist. I really don't know how hes that good. Soo underrated. Maybe it's because he keeps refusing to be a puppet.
    He's literally one of the only people now in days that actually raps. Idk about GOAT, but he's definitely up there, and for him to be questionably one of the best and yet still so underrated is a very strange thing in the industry.
    Either way, if your comparing him with a rapper that you think is better, your probably comparing him with people who use to rap. Who were. But he is. Now. Relevent and active. Literally one of the few in a dieing breed. You should appreciate that. I know I do.

    I haven't put a comment on social media for god knows how long. mind blown. beyond mind blown. besides, i haven't seen anything in hiphop that moved me in like i don't even know. 10 years plus. this was mesmerizing, the true meaning of the word. i was thrown into a dervish state of confusion and ecstasy. no. no. Eminem: my favorite emcee of all lives, I ask you, why why why would you not sign this man? please sign him! he is historic. i felt like i was watching the great Iranian ambassador of the world. smarter than our presidents. i have to say that in the past 10 years of 0 hip hop skill he reminded us of what it is to hold on to the craft and continue perfecting it while the rest of us, including me, lost faith hope and excitement in it. i understand why he's mad. i don't know. i never expected to wake up to something like this. this is now going on repeat while i eat my sald and ranch.
