The model of consistency in Rap. The sick flow that literally gave birth to the evolved Weezy F Baby. The punchlines, the metaphors, the entendres, the style, the Classics, the Sales. I guess Hov said it best when he said, "I'm not a businessman, I'm a business...man..". From Reasonable Doubt, to the Blueprint up thru the latest effort American Gangster, Hov's been holding it down on a higher level for 13 years! After the departure of BIG, Hov not only put Brooklyn on his back, but hell NY too. Successfully crossing over to a more commercial audience while still staying tru to his subject matter. He's won Grammys. He survived arguably one of the best on wax rap beefs in HipHop wit Nas, and not too mention at 40 he is still relevant in 20 year old's generation. There's not too many things people can say about Hov, other than the good ole "He stole BIG's rhymes" plea. Regardless he is arguably the GOAT...PERIOD.
