Bolded. There's some really good matches here.
Pun over Cube because Pun was just straight up 1 of the illest MC's, he was nicer than Cube to me as an MC. Lyrics, whatever, and to me Capital Punishment is better than every Cube album. I'm well aware people will disagree but that's my opinion so... But Pun to me better than nearly everyone, I love Pun. And I think Yeaah Baby was an underrated record too. Then you add the other shyt and it's Pun to me, Top 10 MC. Cube is dope though, but it's Pun to me.
Chuck over ODB is an easy choice for me. Self explanatory.
Jay Z over Red I don't find hard either.
Scarface over Ghost because to me Face I feel more, when it comes to that street/hood shyt in terms of struggle (conceding Ghost has 1 of the best songs ever in that area in All That I Got Is You) but overall and also when it comes to that violent killer shyt Face sounds authentic, aggressive, powerful, he's a storyteller too, his aggressive tracks or even girl tracks I feel them. He has a very dope catalogue when you consider Geto Boys work and then his solo shyt, he has memorable shyt to me, the suicide type bars, he excelled in that too, cause it was real. Face is in my top 20 easily, probably top 15. I think Face is just the truth. He's 1 of the hardest artists for real. So many classic records, so many dope records. Great voice, presence, a lyricist too, Face is the man. Face Mob.
I love Big L. but Pac has the discography and the emotional tracks.
MC Ricky D no doubt.
Biggie,self explanatory.
G Rap vs Raekwon was tough to me, both very dope, but G can ramp it up lyrically to a higher degree, can make the classic MC braggadocios tracks, great storyteller, probably a better lyricist though Rae is dope. Tricky.
Some could change but that's my first impressions.
