Don't do Robbie O like that. He was on the project benches with it, hip-hop meant a lot to him before he made a dollar from it. His style is meant to be straightforward and conversational. It's harder to appreciate for some but mc'ing is about engagement, the purpose isn't to confuse the audience. Personally I don't think he sounds like G Dep. The similarity is that Rob & Dep genuinely struggled growing up.

I get that but I think there is a line between straight forward and basic. Rob to me is basic and that isn't a bad thing per se but he was limited lyrically though I would say his time on Bad Boy didn't make the most of him either.

Trag definitely.
And let me add Royal flush & Illa Ghee.
Killa Sin is one of the nicest Killabeez BUT...
Ca-Tash has always been one of my favorites. I think he gets his respect amongst his peers, but not the mainstream.
And Ak stopped rappin in like '96.

Shabazz the disciple is imo the highest tier mc with highest song quality and not make it easily. He has a small fan base but shouod be much higher.

His career runs parallel to jay elect with me

After that, some of my fav killer bees were pop the brown hornet, killah sin, 12 o clock (rip), and carlton fisk. And LAD. Chip banks. Perb. Solomon childs.priest of course.

I don’t think Az failed to meet expectations. People always thought he should be commercial like Nas and he wasn’t. Az has a dope catalog.

Very dope

but Az gets mentioned too many times in slept-on rappers lists that he become almost overrated.
