Better West Coast lyricist? Xzibit, Kurupt or Ras Kass?

All 3 are dope. X always has some slick shyt and his voice is dope. Kurupt has been known to snap and blackout on tracks. Rass IMO is the most consistent lyrically. He's the prototype Canibus

Fan of all 3 for different reasons.

Ras is the best lyricist.
Kurupt has my favorite albums (of these 3).
X has the best overall discography.

X is a bit of a blend of the two imo, but as a pure lyricist I have to vote for Ras.

 

[Ethnic Cleansing]

The one who said "Hi Gaaaammme"

 

[Mastamimd]

Going with Ras here

 

[Deltron]

easily ras

 

[KingsOfKings]

Ras Kass

 

[DaveyDave]

Pure lyricist/spitter has to be Ras Kass.
I would say X and Kurupt are even with solo albums because ATSOL is such a dope fukkin album to me, one of my favs of all time, easily on par with Streetz Iz A Mutha

 

[Pop123]

Ras all day

 

[NZA]

ras is a better lyricist, but i do prefer xzibit's music as a whole project

 

[Ashtrey]

Kurupt if we only include '92-'96

Otherwise Ras Kass

 

[BulletProof]

Too hard.

 

[No Homo]

Ras rather easily

They were all dope, but Gotti and Ras were kinda at their best at different times.

Kurupt was ridiculous up until around '96, then he started slipping a little. But that's when Ras was probably at his best, lyrically. Those two could have easily been on a lot of top lists for lyricists during the mid-90's. I've always thought Xzibit was a dope artist. His first three albums were really dope, but I never considered him to be on Ras's or Kurupt's level with the rhymes.
