no that makes sense about the creative drive & output. I just meant that cos the rapping/production are such inseparable halves of one whole it's hard to compare him to someone who's not also a rapper (or deejay)/producer. also one thing about Wiley even when his bars are terrible I usually still like them - it's like Pimp C if that makes sense. Or even KRS-One, in that it's not what he says necessarily but how he says it.
I guess I've always though of Wiley as a combination of Jay-Z (king of his music, proportionally much smaller of course as grime is to hip hop) and the RZA, as the genre defining producer and don/abbot of the genre's seminal crew.
Yeah for sure, with maybe a touch of someone early like grandmaster flash for pure pioneering and the treading a new path element.
