From 88-92 he was.

As far as writing a coherent song that delivers a message or tells a story, yes. I would say he is the GOAT at telling a story matter the location. Now if you want to talk the battle rap types I can’t speak on that because I’m not into that style.

Drakeo

 

[Ol’Otis]

Yes

I feel the need to retort higher icr cube hits super lyrical zenith when needed but in 2021 he isn’t doing much lyrical gymnastics. Ice cube was the hardest and coldest rapper until pac reached his prime. He peaked at westside connection. He has the nwa album his first three solos and the westside connection album as undeniable classics and that’s due to cubes lyricism.

he also has more concept songs than any other rapper not named NaS. Now jurist, chino do, raw mass, an immortal technique don’t have the classics or stats to compare so.... yeah maybe he should be looked at as the premier westcoast lyricist until someone can out match those stats.,

if we're talking historically, conceptually, seer of the streets, and overall storyteller....definitely.

fancy, rappity-rap wise, no.

 

[FunkDoc1112]

If we're talking technical skill, not even close...but overall package as a rapper? Hard for me to think of anybody better.

 

[ThisWorldAintRight]

No.
