I think he has to be somewhere in the top 20, he had the game on smash from 98-01 in a time where Jay and nas were still in their primes. Dude had crazy energy and delivery and made you feel him :dame: He would have an argument for top 10 if he had that quintessential classic album, but I dont think he does. He had great singles but his albums were always uneven imo.

Arguable Top 10, definite Top 20.

In his prime he had the same essence as Pac where cats were intrigued by his rawness/realness. East, West, Midwest, and South...street nikkaz everywhere was really feelin X in his heyday.

Top 10 easy for me

2 classics and one dope album. His impact and dropping two #1 I think the same year


If x didn’t have all them demons he woulda been at the top money wise and jay z might not be who he was today

Movies ( I always say if we woulda been focused he could have been dope in a drama )
