What does having a album have to do with best rappper? rapper=rapping about how u present your words and rhyme paterns, yall getting it twisted rusto is right and ive always told woodie this when he was alive (r.i.p) about shadow that dude had so much potential and woodie agreed woodie said he was fasinated by him after hearing him on guce's shit! Shadow is like tay (killa tay) he raps when he feels like it or wants to work hard on a album when he feels like it, tay for what i read i dont want to get facts wrong if i recall was sayin when yall ask him the ? about him on another album he was always talking about the politics of things? if tay is reading i hope i understood that right why he wasnt down on dropping albums back then (tay if you are reading this correct me if iam wrong) why he never dropped an album thats what woodie told me. Also when i talked to other artist from other parts of the country chicago, memphis, washington and id ask about bay rappers who they like the most ,they never say quinn, messy, 40 or even too short to be honest with you theyve always said the one rapper or label they like listning too was east co co, they loved woodies shit or anything on that label just cause dudes lean towrds more hispanic listeners dont mean you should alienate them from the conversation a rapper is a rapper regardless rather hes white or black so for yall to say well he's not even the best latin rapper is stupid cause i asure you eminem woukld tear half if noit most rappers in the bay apart. But yes i in away agree with rusto as far as spits are concern shadow,old messy, brotha lynch, mr kee, mac dre all those i would fall in that catgory of best spitters that ive ever heard u can even add x-raided to that list. any way pz to yall and great conversation
