Yeah, my thing is how do criticize someone for not having a stage presence after the first album? How many people come out the gate with a stage presence? To me that's an unfair criticism
MC's back then faced much harsher criticism than rappers now, it was not easy for anybody to get recognition. Niggas had to earn their stripes back then... Inspektah Deck put in the most work on 36 Chambers, got the almost the least shine.
