Lynch may have been better 10 years ago...but he hasnt put shit out since then so how can anyone say right now he's the better artist. Tech has put in more work in 2009 than lynch has in his whole career. Since Lynch's last album (LBI suicide note 2002?) tech has done 3-4 solo albums, a couple colabo cds, been featured on a shitload of other artist's songs, and oh yea...done about 50,000 live shows. Lynch may be the better NBA Live player or the best twitterer these days, but Tech is a complete rap artist that puts in major work. IMO
