i agree with most of this but im not downing what cube did in his 20's, as i said he an all time great. however NWA was never a group of dope rappers and lyricists...only Cube and Ren could even write a rap....so in a battle cube was supposed to dismantle them non rapping ass cats and he did. he went at more than 1 guy but who was going to come back and destroy him? dre? eazy-e? naw we both know that wasnt happening...Cube just happened to be a ill ass rapper who broke away from a legendary (but gimmicky) group so he could shine and be taken more seriously and get his money. u putting a whole lot of stock on a way better rapper destroying a bunch of non-lyricists.
thats why Nas in ether really proved something. u can give your opinions on there was only 2 hot lines in the song...thats bs...thats you...but Jay-Z to this day is considered one of if not the goat by many in the hip-hop community and Nas destroyed him in one song and had him crying and babbling on the radio...nothing Jay did could counteract this one song...
