Since switching froom SOHH to Coli Heaven I've been bigging up my lesser appreciated favourite childhood rappers and cliques. Master P/No Limit, BCC being some of the others...now its time to ride (no homo) for my man X and the Ruff Ryders. Ill start with this thread cause I never see ones like this anymore.
There may not be a rapper with a better style and delivery than Earl. He can be funny, frightening, rugged, witty, vulnerable, introspective...all of it. Not to mention the imagery. It could be a summer afternoon but put on his first album; the sun turns to the moon and clouds will begin to settle.
Method Man in the mid 90s is one that comes to mind but even then its a DMX gets the nod. Prodigy too. Anyhoo its crazy how nikkas so raw back then could go multiplatinum and start movements. I miss the good old days. If my man Freddie Gibbs came out in the 90s like he is now...who knows
Post your favourite lines from him.
I'm at work but off the memory heres a light quickie:
Knock on the door "police, we lookin' for a man
Killed a couple of cops last night and the reward is ten grand"
I play like a bytch "Its just me here, and I'm not dressed
And that guy sounds kinda dangerous, I hope you make an arrest" (That voice switch always gets me )
