Never mind the West Coast,  Ras is one of the Best lyricsts in the game today....

He's light years ahead of Roscoe so he should not have been on the list, and Crooked ain't seeing Ras.

As for the Crooked/Chino battle....i have that and if u r talking about the same one i have where crooked fucked up with that whole "akuna ma tata" thing...

Then your crazy if u think he outshined Chino. From what i heard chino served him just like he does to damn near everyone in freestyle battles.

Come on Myrealname, I'm eagerly awaiting to see the names of people you think could kill Ras Kass in one line.

Like TASH said, Ras Kass is light years ahead of anyone. Hes far more superior, his lyrical talent is beyond belief. Not only can he hold his own against the best of them, hes original and actually comes out with ground breaking releases.

Ras Kass lyrically shits on those 2 rappers it ain't even funny...I'd put Xzibit up as 2nd best lyricist in the west ahead of those 2 cats...I mean how many albums have those dudes dropped to be considered as the best lyricists?...Yeah they're dope on mixtapes and shit but who isn't?

Xzibit used to be quite the lyricist, but no way is he even close now.  As for Crooked I and Roscoe, they arent' touching Ras.  Roscoe just tries to rap like his bro without all the swearing, and Crooked I is just barely abover average.  Ras Kass, on the other hand, is probably top 3 greatest lyricists of all time..........not saying he is one of the best artists, just lyricists.  Seriously, who in the westcoast underground is fucking with Ras

id have to say theres many people on the west coast underground circuit that can test ras...C.R. of C.V.E. would obliterate him....Bus Driva would decapitate him....Mikah 9 and Abstract Rude would kill ras....i still think Crooked I would kill ras...ask nima Phil Da Ag coming with heat lyrically...i think he can take out ras....2Mex could smash on ras....

I have heard everything Phil has done since he guested on Ras' second album, he is mad dope for sure.....as for Abstract Rude or Mikah 9, i can't see them touching ras.  When it comes to subject matter, Ras can get deep as hell.  WHen it comes to metaphors, Ras is the best......admitedly he used to be better though before he decided he wanted to sell some records

u always revert back to sayin people are deep...does it really matter if theyre deep?...to me it dont really matter...i like to hear songs with meaning but to me that doesnt mean theyre superior cuz like ive said before....Trick Daddy gets deep...doesnt mean hes much of an emcee.....

thats not fair to compare the two...how bout u compare Back It Up and So Damn Hood...equally the same...or how bout u compare Nature Of The Threat to Murderin MCs...now thats fair....and proves that Crook would destroy ras....
Ras no question.


Bus Driver, Mikah, Ab Rude aren't seeing Ras to me... but that's just me.
i dont know man Bus Driva and Abstract are two of the coldest spitters out...and Mikah..well he has thoughts thought up before his first thougt is even thought up.....
