The best rapper in the west?

[Lunatic]

I'm talking pure rapper, bar for bar, just killing shit with the lyrics and flow. So please no Snoop Dogg or Dr. Dre answers lol.

I know Crooked I is the obvious (and good option). Crooked would be my choice most of the time, but sometimes I feel like Jayo Felony. Jayo just rips everything he's on. He just got out of jail a month ago and we spoke recently. I'm tryna get dude on everything haha. I was laughing the other day with a co-worker like anytime I got a Knoc record with an open slot verse, "fuck it, put Jayo on that shit" lol.

Jayo is in a zone right now and I hope y'all get to hear more and more. Imma do everything in power to make sure we do.

I don't think Jayo goin anywhere now. That appearance on Cube new album a good look for him. And he on Knoc's new album (absolutely WRECKS it). And we working on another Knoc-Jayo track as we speak. That's at least another 2 Jayo verses your getting very soon.

that's good to hear

In terms of lyrical ability I'd say Crooked. I listen to plenty of Westcoast rap, IMO crooked is on another level.

[BiggBoogaBiff]

no order:



E40 (lyrically he's on a whole nuther plateau and he never seems to get rusty)

Nipsey Hussle (who should really make some big moves in 2011, he might do some serious damage if he don't, 2010 was pretty quiet)

WC (Gangsta Rap's Deacon.  Nobody could ever fuck wit WC, ever!  Trill talk no disrespect, I heard he used to punk Mack 10 at one time, legitly.)

Brotha Lynch Hung (The West Coast Under Taker.  Lynch could always bring anybody in for a glimpse of the darkside)



there's a lot of good rappers no bull but as far as "the best" only so many can cut it lyrically.

[Triple OG Rapsodie]

Gift of Gab >>> anyone mentioned so far

[MistaNova]

*Kurupt (at least before he starting refering to himself as Young Gotti)
