Is Ice Cube the best west coast lyricist?

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

Ice cube is lyrical in the same way as Tupac DMX and Scarface

his cousin del surpassed him in lyrics

Del never made anything nearly as good as Death Certificate, and I like Del. A lot.

cube has definitely made more meaningful or relatable music, but i would say not only del but about half of hiero actually rap better from a technical standpoint.

We're talking lyrics. Prime Del, Casual or Opio might be in the ballpark, but, again, nothing as well written as DC.

It's prob Ras Kass, Game or Crook...but I didn't see enough Spice1 mentions

I know he ain’t really pop off but Hittman deserves at least an honorable mention. What Kadahfi was for War Report, what Ghost was for Cuban Linx, and Snoop for The Chronic, he was that for 2001. And while u at it, Quik and Tray Deee deserve some shine as well.

Put all his antics and fukkery to the side. Look at the comparison. Ras Kass, Crooked, then GAME. Lyrically, he is a huge step down from them. It doesn't make sense. And that's assuming he wrote all of it, which is suspect.
