Pep Love. From a technical standpoint, he raised the bar in terms of flow and delivery.

Pep Love & J-Ro are cool and Spice 1s got classics but Mac Mall definitely. Nickatinas too weird to be compared to other rappers imo

I love pre-Morello Coup but Boots is an ol rigid Kam immovable object netcee irl rapper and wtf has Defari done aside from the classic 2001 verse and some Dilated Peoples song Ive long since forgotten?

His first album has good beats and some ok raps. One of the better Likwit albums.

not overly familiar with any of them save for the tracks everyone knows.

Went with Spice 1 as I bumped Amerikkka's Nightmare a fair bit when it dropped

For anybody who missed it, some dude recently hooked Noz up with Spice 1's 1992 demo track Killa Days

Re: Mac Mall. Soak Sum Dope might be the hardest shit he ever recorded, imho :gyeah: :gyeah: . This was an exclusive from the Sic Wic Tis CD single:

Herut is underrated as fuck and his albums age extremely well.

focused daily is a classic west coast album

he's got that simple "i can easily understand every word' flow, like evidence. sometimes i get down with that shit.

i'm a fan

Not a huge fan of any of em, but I'd go Mac Mall. Untouchable was the one solo album from anyone on the list that stood out to me. I'm a big Liks fan so J-Ro would probably be #2 but it's not like he was ever a great rapper or anything, but I always thought he was underrated because of his occasional corniness.

right now?

either way this is a tough one.

I'd probably roll with pep love. But Spice One and Gab are right behind.

But if we started talking about now Ev would creep into said list. This was actually one of the harder list that you've compiled for me so props.
