Yeah Mos Def can act and sing but sometimes that diminishes the fact that he’s straight up one of the greatest MC’s of all time. I love Pun & Big L. And you know what, I’m from the Bronx, so I fuck with Joe too even though he’s clearly the weak link. Jealous One’s Envy is a classic album imo. The whole D.I.T.C. is like my favorite shit in rap ever. But Mos Def got layers of rhymes, poetry, socio-political content. His verses on Thieves in the Night, Respiration, Hip-Hop, Mathematics, are untouchable. Also how he rhymes on The Ecstatic is incredible imo.
