Real talk Cousin Fik and DaVinci are both as lyrical as they come. Like I said Gully & Shady are both dope, but I wouldn't call them the best. The Bay has a bright future with a lot of young talent.
Shady go hard foreel, but if we only talking lyricism, Locksmith is head and shoulders the best out the Bay.....honestly tho lyricism really doesn't mean all that much, it's about song/hit making potential. That's what the barometer for "Best in the Bay" should be. Nobody is touching 40 as far...
Shady & Gully are two of the best as far as newcomers, still 40 is the king, Jack, Quinn, Mess, Dre Dog, Yuk, the Bay got hella legends that still are active in making music. Gully & Shady go hard tho they both putting on for the Town.
