and lol @ comparing lyricists with a battle. the greatest lyricists in the games are not battle rappers and battle raps do not bring lyricsm

Dude ain't on any Cube/Pac shit, and he isn't exactly a storyteller or anything either.He does, however, have a nice mackish voice and a good ability to shift his flow at ease much like Snoop. Long Beach niggas are probably the smoothest-flowing cats in the West.

from the eastsidaz right? that dude sucks
lyrically, Ya Boy's "100 Bars of Crack" > any verse Tray Deee has ever spit
I'm separating this one from al Bundy's thread since that one's about 40 and Rasheed Wallace, but since a couple people on this board think Tray Deee is a God on the mic, I'm here to get everyone's opinion on this. Don't get me wrong, Tray Deee's a good rapper, however as a lyricist, he wouldn't be considered in the top 150 (if there was ever such a list. For those that think Tray Deee is an incredible lyricist, post a memorable verse, because none come to mind. In the meantime, here's a list of artists that would, in a battle, embarrass Tray Deee (and people who think that he is an incredible lyricist):RoscoeCrooked IThe GameTechniecRas KassTri-StarSly BoogyXzibitYa BoyCassidyPapooseDominationFabolousJoe BuddenJuelz SantanaRakimJadakissStyles PJae HoodNasCysseroEastwood2pac and Biggie (they've been dead for 10 years and Tray Deee still couldn't write a battle verse better than these two)
Tray deee has never dropped a bad verse, and always makes a song better
