I don't know much about this Shadow cat, but listening to the youtube videos that yall posted, I can honestly say that bruh has major bars. But to me there is a difference between being a great rapper and being a great song maker. This cat can obviously spit, but as far as making songs, how can yall say he's on level of the upper echelon Bay Area rappers like Quinn and 40 without him even dropping an album? That shit doesn't make sense.

i agree..... when it comes to making songs, 40 quinn etc kill shadow. I dont think shadow makes beats, he just raps. But i was just talking abour rapping, not about songmaking ability or music career.

I can respect that, and since str8 rapping skills is what you are talking about, I nominate Locksmith as the best Bay Area rapper.

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

You're a fucking moron, really. Now you're saying shadow is better than e-40. You're comparing someone with no album to someone who has toured the world and sold millions of records. Take a second and think about that.
thats one of the worse comments ever.ur basing talent on sales?

u think the best rappers have records?
u think the best records went platinum?

sales are 20% rapper, 20% producer, 60% marketing..........

dont get it twisted tho shadows got some major skills and so much potential to blow, and yes potential to be the best in the bay, but i just dnt see it happening but only due to people not giving it a chance or lack of exposure, not skills

dude won't get much of chance cause he is a northerner and mexican that basically stops people from listening to him I dont understand why cause people listen to bloods and crips

You stupid son of a bitch, I mentioned 40's track record, I didn't say sales = dope lyricist, but in this case it IS true. You fuckers can ride dicks like fairys all day and give eachother high fives. But when it all boils down, shadow is coo, but not even close to being considered one of the dopest in the bay. He is not the best in the bay, he's not top 5, 10, or even 20. Yeah he's coo, but get your heads out of your asses.
