Cypress,. DMX, if we wanna go other areas?Because as i remember there has been at leasdt 200 Booty Shake niggaz like OJ Da Jewman,Gucci Mane,Wacka,Mims,Bow Wow,Boosie etc who aint either never had an album or sold 100 times less than those artists.You kinda misunderstood bruh..Its Like saying that The only Reason Eminem is selling becoz he is white...(Yeah and Bubba Sparx, Vanilla Ice,Snow,everlast,Asher Roth are all going 9x Platinum)

(Dre, Snoop co-sign etc)Xzibits success had nothing to do with lyrics. That nigga was more lyrical BEFORE he really blew the fuck up. I attribute his success to Pimp My Ride.

(Dre, Snoop co-sign etc)Well, yeah..But than again, what happend to the Bishop Lamont,Stat Q,Joel Ortiz,Snoops Artists? They all had co signs as well...Its a chicken and an egg situation...Is the rapper Successfull becoz he was on Eminems Albums,Tours with Dre etc or is the rapper on Eminems albums and Tours becoz he was dope?Same applies to Game and 50 Giving him all the best single concepts..But thats another topic.What Situation does Casish have?

I attribute his success to Pimp My Ride.Restless I would say musically is his apex. He was considered my most Top 5 on the coast by then, but before that from a success standpoint, he was mad underground, just like Ras, The Liks and other acts out here.

He wasnt a gangsta rapper but he was really hittin the scene at a time where gangsta rap was crackin, and he was in Cali. Its like he was gangsta rap by affiliation or some shit. Which worked out careerwise as it got his name out there even more, and he laid down some nice tracks...but I never really felt like it was the right fit for him.
I never understood why people claim Kurupt to be lyrical. At his best he as a good rapper, but not lyrical. Most of the time he's just annoying and repetitive.Crooked is probably the most lyrical rapper out from the west IMO.
