How can you compare Butchy who is just a hookmaster from Long Beach with Daz who releases album after album?

That's fair. I guess I always viewed Butch as more than just a local low budget underground rapper doing hooks. He was on some pretty big songs back in the day. Perhaps I have too high of an opinion of him in that regard.

Even though he records more often with underground artists these days, he is still one of the best singers alongside LV and Bo Roc in my opinion. Still has that westcoast vibe and he can drop dope ass hook on some bigger projects like Xzibit's last album or DPG or Snoop's project, Eastsidaz etc. Unfortunately, many of his outstanding songs are still unreleased, he has songs recorded with Warren, Snoop, Nate Dogg, Dr. Dre, Dae One, Mac Lucci, Bad Azz, Kurupt, and more and five unreleased albums at least.

A lot of people in the music industry have been on major hits and are really not well known later on. Think about how big a song "I got 5 on it" was. Barely anyone (even those who grew up with it) would recognize the names Yukmouth and Numbskull.
I can't blame rappers for "selling out" these days, if that is even what you call it. Butch needs to make a living and singing is his craft/skill. It really isn't much different than someone who is a plumber or electrician. Gotta take the job that pays the bills.
There can't be a whole lot of money in music these days aside from touring. Nobody really buys albums anymore and most make jack shit off streaming. So I think the money is made in selling verses and concerts. Don't think butch cassidy is really doing concerts since he doesn't have any well known solo songs. All he has left is selling his hooks.

opinion on stature shouldn't affect opinion on skill
butch is skilled enough to sing with the best of them, yet never got rich from music
working with underground rappers doesn't change his ability as a musician
