You are all buying into their marketing, are they lyrical, yes. Are there solo and group acts alike that are better, yes....some are extremely more advanced and better in nearly every aspect. This is ESP. the case on the West Coast.
Of course there are a lot rappers and groups that can match Slaughterhouse or even do better than them at times, as a matter a fact noone is untouchable lyrically but this is not the point of who's better.
The point is, you gotta get recognized by your peers first & then the public, plus you gotta have a crossover if you're up to match whoever that's up there with the best overall. Just like when Wu Tang was the bar for a decade, of course there were plenty of sicker groups but when you're not able to create your own fan base & to be interesting for the general public, then you're not able to match groups that can do that even if you're technically more advanced at whatsoever.
I'm originally a West Coast hip hop fan, so honestly & unfortunately the only group that could go up against SH out from the West Coast right now is Black Hippy. I mean if it's about to go out there & say you're better without been ridiculous.
Technically there are probably thousands of way better rappers than LL lyric for lyric but that doesn't mean he's not one of the greatest of all time, while most of those aren't nowhere near that.
SH is technically a super group as all 4 MC's are recognized as a solo acts as well so don't try to talk about things you don't have idea about, esp. about the West Coast.
