There are some really good names listed. I wouldn't take any of them off the list. But it's like talking sports, different eras are hard to compare. There were different styles, different voters, and audio and text had a great deal more of separation back in the day than compared to now. @
Seul was good in his time @
GOD Body was, too. Freestyling use to be really respected but now it's basically a joke to most. My best times were well before I joined Letsbeef. I'm sure a lot of us grew up rapping, freestyling, making tracks with the homies, participating in events but then continued into Letsbeef. Back when it first started the styles were much different. I've beat quite a few of the people mentioned as the best audio heads. Lots of HOF. But I also had losses to people that would never be mentioned. Either way it was fun. I would never consider my wins over GC or HOF members as a measure of where they or I rank on the list. It was all freestyling. And the site and battling in whole progressed past that. So, I'd have to say while there are great members the 'best of the best' would be those who progressed into greatness by following the trend and continued to improve. There is also quality to take into consideration when talking about tracks. I listened to a @
Danger Rich track the other day and the production was insane. If there's gonna be a talk on the track side I'd say he should be the one that sets the bar. Battlers are gonna be judged off mostly bars.. @

M-Rock are definitely ones who progressed and brought in the new era. I wouldn't disagree with anyone listed either. People hate on him but if we were to bring freestyling back into the conversation @
RhymeSmokecan definitely spit. Now, I gave everyone their props. Even though, most of you have "retired." But I write now and my writing may have been horrible freestyles I penned out in the past but I think I'd body all of you today. Have fun.
