i dont mean it like that. i'm sayin the west in general is slept on. dudes think of the east for lyrics which although east is more lyrics(although i think half those lyrical dudes are just boring as shit where as the wests balanced) but the west is a force to be fucked with lyrically

Yeah I get what you're saying. They don't consider a lot of our rappers to be mcs for some odd reason. But Cube, Kam, Tray Dee, Kurupt (in his prime), Ras Kass, Bad Azz, Yukmouth, even the early Snoop are all mcs in my book.

the reason why the west coast is not known for lyricists is except for Cube there hasn't been a true MC to blow up from there xcept if you want to count Death Row Era Snoop, but Crooked I, Ras Kass, Death Row Kurupt, Bad Azz all these dudes is real MC's

i didn't mention alot of cats including brotha cause if you get into underground peeps they will eat 90% of the original list alive...cept IMO most underground/non commercial rappers lack in style what they have in lyrics...so even though snoop's one of the worst lyricists ever he's one of the dopest rappers ever cause he's an amazing MC and amazingly natural stylist/MC.

under lyricist i take good lyrics, but also flow, cause imo its part of the lyrics, how you deliver it

best lyricists frm the west imo in no particular order

ras kass
crooked i
techniec
ice cube
tray deee (goddayum, best flow ever)
kurupt (dogg food and before)

i dont mention pac here, cause imo he wasnt really special with lyrics, his whole style and everything else combined made him the superstar he was, not his lyrics, though he had some deep songs

btw i know its west only, but for me the illmatic-style nas will always have the best lyrics/flow, i love the west, but i gotta give credit to who deserves it  8)

LMAO

yeah word on techniec...and e40 is a dope rapper but his lyrics have never impressed me...he has style and flow for DAYS though, and he puts great songs together, 2pac could spit with the best of them when he so chose and was honestly as consistent as a dude like Tray Deee. So I'ma have to co-sign 2pac is among the great west coast lyricists...another good sign of a good lyricist is if it's still entertaining to read their work on the page, and 2pac definitely wins in that category against alot of cats. even if crooked I may have more linguistic dexterity, I'd read a book of 2pac lyrics before crooked's, or even Kurupts. I'm sayng his actual rap lyrics too, not his volumes of poetry...those are dope too though.
