i'd say e-40's got the most charecter in the bay, but lyricly? i disagree. he's definatly got good lyrics and stuff, but i think savage c has more creative lyrics. it all depends on what type of lyrics you mean though, if your talking about mobb music lyrics, e-40 very well could be the best, if your talking about metaphore-similies-battle rap stuff, i'd give that to savage c, if your talking about deep thoughts and stuff, 2pac or woodie or x-raided (if sac counts)
