Clipse (Pusha AND Malice), Lupe defintely. All 4 of those cats are amazing lyricists and came out between 2000-2009.
Back to Beans though...

The material is on par. The B. Coming should be considered required listening, so should The Truth...especially if people like quality street music.You gotta have impactful classic albums under your belt to be elite.
He doesn't have an Illmatic or Paid In Full. However Snoop has a classic and he can't and never could out rap Beans.
So basing this question on the quality street music statement...is he one of the GOATS?
Whew. I would put him in the same class as Scarface and Ice Cube but right under them. He doesn't have the longevity or the discography for me to realistically put him on par with them so no. That alone takes him out of the top 5, probably a solid top 15. -
Lol at elite, If he's elite then so is Jada and Styles since they're in the same class with him (even better IMO)... And did I read someone say Common is on the first tier of elite rappers? Lmao smh ? is crazy...word.

Common is certified first tier.

If you dig through almost anyone's lyrics you are going to find some deep, profound ? . We are all human and have experiences that we relate to each other through.
Its all about timing, when you have that spotlight, when you have that track, when you have that feature...you need to break someones ? neck in those 16 bars.
Beans just didn't do that for me man, he going to be forgotten along with many others that missed their time.

Another ? ? . Not one person said Mac couldn't spit. -
Maybe not elite but Dude can spit his ass off and is consistent

So the question remains; if you don't think Beans is a top tier, elite MC, what does he have to do to reach that level. he already has;
The Dynasty: Roc La Familia
The Truth
The Reason
The B. Coming
State Property Vol 1
State Property Vol 2
^^^^^ That's a full career right there and all of those albums are 4 mics or better. -
Not to mention the Public Enemy #1 mixtape
Which is a classic -

Bar for bar Beans is just as nice as Nas, Jay, & Big. Nas said it himself and the proof's in the pudding.
He writes intricate ? that only a top tier emcee could spit. Doesn't have all the accolades but his skills are top notch
