he was a great battle/braggadocio type rapper.
But not a better song maker than people who were strong in his category of braggadocio rap (Kane, Biggie, Finesse)
Not as introspective as someone like Nas and lacked the emotion of someone like Pac
and wasn't as good a battle rapper as Eminem was
Had he not have died I think he would have taken Cam's lane (or shared it) as the swag rapper with dope rhymes and zero substance
