DOC ghost writing ability put Snoop and his crew on the map during the Chronic/Death Row phase. It was tragic about his descent after the accident because his unique flava was bonifide and on point.

He was already the West Coast's answer to (but not equal of) Rakim when he had his accident. He would have been much bigger than Snoop, Em or any of the other "prote-Dres." [Edited 9/25/07 10:17am] Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

[Edited 9/24/07 8:49am] See, THAT'S what the fuck I'm talkin about! THAT'S a muthafuggin top 10 list! CL Smooth and Common are super wack. They are not better than Biggie or Pac.

I want to lay down my favorite rappers of all time. Starting with Pac. No one is better than him. My whole list is:
1. 2Pac 2. Rakim 3. Ice Cube 4. Eminem 5. Biggie 6. Big Daddy Kane 7. Lil' Kim 8. Nas 9. Chuck D 10. LL Cool J Honarable mention to Run-DMC because they work better together and not alone. To all the haters and players out there. Due to a mishap on my part, my list has been revised slightyly with LL Cool J holding down the #10 slot. Peace! Peace and be wild! | |
