Tale Of The Tapes: Recent Episodes
Joe Forminio
More than a decade long study, analyzing almost every single rapper ever who was or is in any way note worthy. Each artist is judged based on 5 categories and NONE of them include my opinion in any way (unlike those other lists). Extensive work and research put into this to uncover who is in fact the "best" rapper of all time. Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/taleofthetapes/support

Episode 23 is a brief history and scoring of Bad Company member, producer/rapper, El-P (2002) as well as the only member of Memphis group, Three 6 Mafia, to make the cut; Juicy J (2002). Bad Company was out in 1995, so accidentally, we are covering El-P later than we should. Three 6 Mafia was also out in 1995, however, Juicy J was the only member of the group to qualify for the study so Three 6 Mafia and all their material won't count. Taking all that into consideration, we will cover each artist from when their debut solo albums came out in 2002.
