Yakoo! Maker and creator of the devil! Swine merchant, your time is near at hand. **** with me, and your time will be now. Your presence here affects the mind of my people like a fever. You, Yakoo, are the bearer of 9,999 diseases: evil, corrupt pork-chop-eating atrocities!



Nope that's East coast (which is superior) :P think he was on about people like Ice Cube and Dr Dre who do have some banging albums which are often perhaps easier to listen to than the NY style stuff, but as a lyricist I prefer East coast because they do tend to have a better lyrical style for the most part. That's not to say that you shouldn't get into the West coast too, like I say they got some great albums (AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted for one) so yeah shop around :D you like Tupac and he was West coast so quite likely you'll enjoy a few of them.
DMX was mentioned in passing earlier in the thread somewhere, getting hold of It's Dark And Hell Is Hot will let you know if you like his style as it's probably his best work, Nas you said you got the discography so that's always gonna be good listening, Doe Or Die by AZ is an amazing album from possibly the most underrated rapper around... I'll leave it at that I think, there are far too many great rappers to list all the suggestions I could make haha.

Ok I don't know what to think about biggie, his flow is good and he has some good beats but I hate his lyrics. Being that whoppa that he was, I don't really like it when he starts mentioning food

"So we can steam on the way to the telly go fill my belly
A t-bone steak, cheese eggs and Welch's grape"

And then his favourite time of the day is his half feeding him breakfast and giving him a sponge bath in another one of his songs. I guess I just don't like biggie as a person, although I do like some of his songs. I know this might be a lot to ask but what would you say your top 5 favourite 2pac/nas/biggie songs are, just that there are so many songs to choose from and I haven't got a clue where to start. :P
