Basically any rapper with skills who raps on a DJ Premier track is the best rap song ever.

Group Home weren't even all that skilled but Livin' Proof is one of the best albums ever because of Premier.

I always point to how terrible today's rap music is with their mumbled lyrics and struggle bars, but at the same time the Group Home album is a personal classic to me.. Mumbled bars with a lisp and a 16 year old who freestyles every verse he every spit and neither of them made much sense. Feels hypocritical but I refuse to concede!
