Is Ice Cube the best west coast lyricist?

[Soymuscle Mike]

Him and Del are the one-two punch.

Cube lyrics hit hard and like others have said he doesn't get enough props for how creative and innovative he truly was (/is) especially conceptually. Del the same but he hits more metaphorically on that rappity rap shyt like @Phantom Dreamer said.

That bloodline
