Will have to agree to disagree. Some Henn does sound good though.

After I saw you say that Masta P was from the Bay I knew that all future comments from you would be off.

I Know Master P is not from the Bay.
TRU - Mobbin' Through The Hood with Master P

At the time Circa 96' he was with Tru Respresenting the East Bay on the track, especially Richmond.
As I said O.G. Bay Area Hip Hop not native born Rappers of the Bay.

I know, I took the Richmond Bart every week. I was the one white guy(possibly within 2 miles of the Richmond Bart Station) and the only one in a 1930's double breasted drape suit and a bespoke Optimo Fedora that everyone was trying to sell a stolen Bart Transit ticket to.

Just because you have a peach fuzz buzz right now, you can't qualify as the best rapper. He should stick to what he does best, getting crab meat stuck in his beard. Citing the media doesn't really help your cause. Every year XL and other magazines do there best rapper lists and **** never makes any sense. Popular at the moment doesn't equal best. I think Drake is a perfect example of that.

100% correct. He got his start in the Bay, released about 5 TRU records representing the bay, before he and No Limit moved back to New Orleans. First West Coast Bad Boyz album was released when he was in the bay. The Ghetto's Trying To Kill Me is a 100% bay album.

This is hilarious. I like Rawse, though. He's my second favorite bearded rapper...third favorite if Sean Price happens to be rocking the beard that month.

His rhyme scheme on that entire song is ******* crazy. It's master-class emceeing .

On that same album he has a track with Beanie, called "Life" (I think) where he has an ABCD/ABCD rhyme scheme. He was basically rhyming full paragraphs.
