Compare him to a group like the Beastie Boys, obviously their strength is in their ability to be entertaining and just make music that feels right. It's a whole different thing, much more tacit.

Fair enough, which is why I prefaced my statement by stating how talented I think he is. In general though, I'm a bigger fan of recorded music than I am of cyphers and battles. Chuck D has openly stated he never battled/freestyled/what-have-you, but I'd take him over Eminem any day.
