For me, both could be the prototype for the essence of an MC. Good voices, strong lyrics, dope flows, solid albums, PIONEERS (leaders, not followers).
BUT...if I were forced to pick one, it'd be Ra...he worked words & idealogies that (for me) were unknown into his rhyme-schemes & made me 'see' everything he was talking about clearly...
"...So follow me and were ya thinkin' you were first?
Let's travel at magnificent speeds around the Universe
What could ya say as the Earth gets further and further away
Planets are small as balls of clay
Astray into the Milky Way - world's outasight
Far as the eye can see - not even a satellite
Now stop and turn around and look
As ya stare in the darkness, ya knowledge is took!
So keep starin soon ya suddenly see a star
You better follow it cause it's the R
This is a lesson if ya guessin and if ya borrowin
Hurry hurry step right up and keep followin
The Leader..."

I went with The Smooth Operator myself. Kane was the complete package. Lyrics, punchlines, charisma, looks and even dropped some knowledge. I want to say he was the perfect emcee. I think further down the line he started feeling himself too much and lost focus, but if you listen to Raw (with the intro verse) that is the definition of an emcee.
Intro, I start to go/ My rhymes will flow/
so/ get out ya seats 'cause Kane said so/
If you were loungin around, it's time to git up/
Pardon my expression, but I'ma tear sh*t up/

Suddenly you feel like your in a horror flick,
You grab your heart then wish for tomorrow quick!
Music's the clue, when I come your warned,
Apocolypse Now, when I'm done, ya gone!
Haven't you ever heard of a MC-murderer?
This is the death penalty,and I'm servin' a
death wish, so come on, step to this
hysterical idea for a lyrical professionist!
Friday the thirteenth, walking down Elm Street,
you come in my realm ya get beat!
This is off limits, so your visions are blurry,
All ya see is the meters at a volume,
pumping Lyrics of Fury!
I dotn agree at all, Rakim has dropped mindblowing lyrics until this day. Big daddy Kane hasnt fared as well but he still does shows and all the way up till 95 he coudl fill stadiums and hold his own with newcomers like biggie and pac (notice how everybody calls the famous biggie pac shyheim BDK freestyle is called the biggie and pac freestyle)

This is difficult to choose from since both at that time were coming with straight heat. I'd have to go with Kane on this one but this judgment pertains to the time period and not what happened with their careers later. R.A.W. and Ain't No Half Steppin'
Rakim for me. I like both but I've always had a soft spot for Paid In Full... It has more joints I *love* than Long Live The Kane.

Kane is ill, no doubt but if you sit and listen to what Rakim was doing when he first came out and then listen to hip hop now........itll blow your mind. Talk about being ahead of your time Ra is the very definition.
