2 my fav mc - 2pac & ice cube
This is a great thread BTW. I think I would have to listen to a few other rappers catalogues to make a sound choice, but mos def for the west it's Cube hands down.
I personally feel like, if Cube had stop making music after Lethal Injection, he really could be up for candidate of Greatest Rapper. But after the first WSC album, his stuff has slowly deteriorated in my eyes. He still has a dope track here or there, but on the whole it's subpar to me.

Not as many politicial tracks or social commentary as his earlier stuff. But alot of rappers with the time put in like Cube have done it also. I can still enjoy his later material though. That War disc has always been one of my favorite Cube records. Peace was cool, and LNCL is good. Then CT Experience came out and also a couple of guest appearances and Cube has got that fire back. He is killing his verses again. I got a feeling he is going back to his roots on Raw Footage though.

Like I said, for me I find the subject matter he picks really makes a difference in the song. The more party tracks from him can come off a little bland at times but ones with solid topics he shows he can still wreck shop. For example here are some I dig off his more recent albums.Extradiction3 Strikes You InThe Peckin OrderThe Curse Of MoneyCash Over AssGhetto Vet (one of his better story telling joints, very descriptive on this one)Greed (dope ass track, he killed it)HelloPenitentiaryDr. FrankensteinUntil We RichWhy We ThugsI picked alot off the War disc (hell the whole War disc is bangin) but also WSC tracks Luni mentioned and others.
