Well at least we agree that Black Thought is kind of generic! And I don't hate The Roots or anything, by the way, I just don't think Black Thought's rapping is what makes them a good band.
I don't know how you measure who is "technically" better and I don't really care honestly, the end result is what's important to me. Madlib's vocals are unique, interesting and entertaining, all of which require talent to pull off well. Black Thought's vocals are serviceable. They work in the context of The Roots music and that's fine but I don't think he's tremendously talented compared to other rappers.

Because I think Madlib is more talented than The Roots? How is that snobby? Are you being snobby for having the opposite opinion?
