Cube top 10 doa for sure

His presence

Charisma

Delivery

Content /creativity

Album making

And of course his battle skills/diss record making ability

But bar for bar

As a true mc lyrically

cube can def put some shyt together but he's not up there with those lyrical tyrants
Common exposed the disparity in levels



Jay em nas big common jada rakim face X Cole

Different style of lyricism than who you mentioned IMO. He wasn't interested in bragging about his MC skills like most of the top rappers from the 80's and 90's and was more focused on social commentary through a biting, sarcastic and satirical sense of humor. It's just a different mode but no less effective than who you mentioned. Top 10 no question.

Disagree.
Ice Cube and DOC were among the first non area cats to get respect. It was because they had BARS.
Listen to Grand Finale and Parental Discretion advised to hear them go toe to toe on posse records.

No disrespect cuzz,but I know u ain’t gonna act like MC REN didn’t obliterate both of those songs,especially Grand Finale!:sas2:

I openly shyt on Ren's skills every chance I get. Cube and DOC wrote for Dre andvEazy, so everybody was spitting cold bars on ea h song, except Ren.
