Yes. E-40 is one of the most original and talented artists in hip hop history. Short has one of the best voices in hip hop and has made some of the most classic songs and albums in history. Both have been doing it since the late 80’s and are on a short short list of rappers from that time that are still relevant and still dropping dope shyt today.

Shouldn’t even be a question

YES. both carry a tradition of originality and authenticity. They created their own lanes. They cannot be duplicated or copied. They are the epitome of being a 'rapper". This is not based on lyric ability. Lyrically for their background and how the nor cal sound came to be they are dope as fukk but someone from new york,etc might disagree

They're both average rappers.

I'm not a fan of whole albums being about pus*y as it becomes redundant and E-40 is just meh but even with all that I acknowledge they are both just average rappers.

In terms of Bay Area artists, there are better rappers who I'd rather listen to such as Spice 1, Dru Down, Mac Mall, etc. West Coast standards of what is considered good lyrics are very different compared to the East Coast.
