whatever, buddens a dope rapper imo, but c'mon for real, its pretty obvious by now that he loves name dropping for attention. I'm sure its a great marketing tool and gets him ridiculous hits on his website.
Its true these lists are utter bullshit. Its all just fuckin opinions, and everyone will have different lists. But to me its as if he just aimed at the pioneers to make it a controversial issue. If he aimed at dudes like Mims and Souljah Boy and shit, dudes woulda just agreed with him and that woulda been the end of that.
either ways it doesnt matter to me, Meth and Budden are both dope. Their styles vary too much to logically compare the two. Unless you break it down into further subsections (ie, flow, delivery, charisma, metaphors/similes, wordplay, lyrical content, vocab, emotion, etc.) And at the end of the day it boils down to personal preference, like which of those really matter to you when you listen to a song or an artist
