Geo sounds right at home trading bars with KRS-One, Talib Kweli, and Buckshot on the track “Oh Really (Remix)” (click on the pic below for the DL link).
And why shouldn’t he? He’s probably the best rapper in the 206, and a track featuring those heavyweights deserves our very best.
Which reminds me, why doesn’t the Who’s The Best Rapper debate come up more often on the blogs? I’ll start it: Geologic, of Blue Scholars, is the BEST EMCEE IN SEATTLE. I know I’m not breaking any new ground with that statement, but we should at least be having the argument. Shouldn’t we? Who else is in the Top Five?

Butterfly from Digable Planets aka Ish?
Ish is my favorite rapper in Seattle.
Ish is certified dope, for sure, and definitely one of my favorite local cats.
Is he as versatile as Geo, though?
Entirely a matter of opinion, But I would without hesitation say yes, and that is no way me trying to discredit Geo’s contribution to the town.
Real talk.
Ish is the Seattle GOAT, get it right. Have you heard Shabazz Palaces? It’s beasting most national stuff to drop this year easily.
The SP album(s) is the best thing I’ve heard all year. From ANY town.
Macklemore definitely deserves a place amongst the greatest lyricists…
i dunno, maybe i’m stuck in the 90’s but aeson and dread from paper chasin records is the nicest emcee’s i ever heard out the six
Geologic is definately in the top 5
perhaps even the best atleast on my list
Macklemore is also up there
tom pepe from The Knowmads is great too
and RA Scion from Common Market
