Maybe hands down.
Flow- perfect, any beat, any intonation, no accents eating up have the words he spits, every word is crisp clear and emotional. Rhymes also hit on a snare, which most on here cant even do, due to thinking complexity comes first before flow.
perfect beat taste- flows to any kind of beat, fast, slow or down right crappy and still makes the rhyme sound good on it. perfect mixing between the instrumental and voice tone.
Lyrics complexity- lyrics are complex to exactly the right extent, no extra words added in a rhyme, every word fits and comes across as a poem line, not an elementary book reading session
Humor- Hip hop without humor is nothing, maybe knows that and when he wants to make a song about nothing he makes it enjoyable and that makes it as much as enjoyable to hear him boast about himself(unlike other rappers that try to sound serious)
Doesnt put out every little song he makes- ive never seen maybe throw out a verse he could use to make a decent song later, to hurry and show it off. Big plus.
Doesnt jump on the "hook making" bandwagon - if maybe the rhyme itself is more interesting then some hook, maybe doesnt fill extra seconds repeating 4 lines 3 times in a row... That makes even the shortest songs sound complete and without need to be changed.
Worked with Maybe on some songs before, and i know how fast he comes up with them, he has a perfect sense of the songs context, so he's best to colab with. Maybe ripped any beat i ever sent him 100%. One of the few peeps on here, id actually put on my ipod and listen to.
quite a few good other mentions, but i dont feel like i can make any good points to distinguish who's better, it would be a matter of my personal opinion.
Btw... i agree that a lot of peeps have flow issues wen trying to rap. I think that peeps is rushing too much, it takes dozens of takes to lay a verse down perfect, hours to polish a rhyme till it has just enough and not too much... no fillers... etc etc... its better to release 2 great songs then 22 average ones.
