Will elaborate on some of my picks. K-Rino over Lloyd Banks of course, this Is akin to Lil B vs 2 Pac lol, Banks isn't terrible, he's cool but he is nowhere near the level of K-Rino. K-Rino has more work of a significantly higher quality, it's 1 where the artists aren't in the same stratosphere, 1 is ok and 1 is an all time 1 of the greatest artists of all time. K-Rino's artistry dwarfs Banks. Any other choice is unthinkable to me, it's unthinkable how anybody could pick Banks to me as a Hip Hop head as the level is so far apart. Can assume in 99 percent of cases haven't heard all the music or something. Obviously everyone is entitled to preference, but of course objectively and realistically K-Rino is significantly and light years better.
Bizzy Bone vs C Murder, Murder has some good shyt actually, after hearing 1 of his tracks many years ago I went and checked more of his work and was surprised there was actually some good shyt. But Bizzy Bone takes this for me, for being such a unique artist with a higher skill level and more diverse. Bizzy's got so many styles, has a great discography when you count Bone then his solos. Bizzy is an all time great to me, possibly top 15 of all time and 1 of the better artists in this bracket.
Meek Millz seems like he has potential at times, but Freddie Gibbs drops shyt I can actually listen to, Pinata was a decent album. Had some songs I liked. And he can rap, so Freddie Gibbs takes that 1 to me.
Cormega wins against Sheek to me, his albums are just too good. The Realness, Mega Philosophy, True Meaning etc. Mega if he isn't in my top 20 will make it 1 day most probably. He's 1 of my personal favourite artists for the way he brings the street shyt and aggression plus with the lyrical/poetic style. He's raw and unorthodox and he drops some gems and jewels and I like that. Mega is a highly underrated artist I feel. All he needs is more work to significantly climb a greatest list, a big talent.
The rest don't feel the need to elaborate on. But I had to pick Krazyie Bone due to his skill level and the Bone work in particular.
