The more i think about it, C.L. Smooth was a Trash ass rapper

[DJ Mart-Kos]

C.L. is 1 of my favorites

I love his voice and he has incredible flow i think.
But it's more about the flow than about the lyrics for C.L.

 

[SirBiatch]

There is a reason why Pete Rock has had success without CL while CL has none without Pete.

the hard truth.

 

[Ziggiy]

T.R.O.Y is one of the greatest storytelling raps of all time.

I do believe this deserves a neg

 

[Deoji]

the hard truth.

didn't CL take like 10 years off tho?

 

[SirBiatch]

CL was always the weakest link in any Pete Rock and CL song

 

[Deoji]

CL was always the weakest link in any Pete Rock and CL song

stop. nikkas MAY have said that shyt in retrospect, but at the time they were a perfect combo. People loved CL.

OP is oviously from Atlanta.

"Took me from a boy to a man, So I always had a father, when my biological didn't bother" might be my favorite lyric of all time.

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

TROY was short for They Reminisce Over You. It was a nostalgia song that was DEDICATED to Trouble T-Roy. It wasn't solely about him.

This. I wonder if coli dudes bytch and moan when authors dedicate books to dead relatives when said book doesn't even mention the relative in question





And as far as quotables go I'm pretty sure cl smooth was the first to say "biological didn't bother"






biological didn't bother - Google Search

 

[GoFlipAPack]

One of my hometown heros

 

[Big Mel]

He was the original gibberish MC

 

[Sauce Dab]

Nah he's not good. Y'all using the same talking points that y'all would discredit and bash with the quickness regarding newer rappers. Y'all were moving field goal posts. Just say he's not good but y'all personally like him

 

[Poh SIti Dawn]

He can spit, the reason he doesn't have "quotables" is because he says a lot and often tells stories. How you gonna have quotables if you're not talking about yourself all the time or telling stories

 

[DANJ!]

I've seen it all now...

I guess if a nikka aint "top 5" or whatever buzzword gets used, he's trash... meanwhile nikkas got like 20 MFs in their top 5
