on a side note, ANYONE brings up ANY southern Rapper into this covo deserves to be slapped 1000 times. Southern style rap (and to a lesser extent mid west/chi-town rap) KILLED HIP HOP. They deserve their bread like anyone, but none of them, repeat NONE OF THEM, can hold a candle to any of the true legends of hip hop.

LOL @ the old lingo.
I havent heard B in a LONG time.
Id put dre on my list long before Cube. If it was WC then cube is second to mac, WC is....ga'bage, but i still stand by my argument than he cant be second best and be top ten.

Easy E was primarily the front man, and early on, the financier of the group cause he was slang'in hard.
Dre was a musician, who was already with an R&B group.
Ice cube was the primary writer of NWA.
All that FBI shit,
That was because of Cube. When Cube left, NWA was never the same after.

ArmaniXXX, there is a LONG, distinguished list b4 Cube. He was good in his day, but you can easily name 5 guys from that era alone better than him. I left off Chuck D, MC shan, LL cool j (before the muscles) Canibus (b4 his anal rape by LL cool J), Talib Kwali, Mos Def, Common, Kool moe D, BIG PUN. Cube is behind all of them. Even Lauryn Hill, a WOMAN, is lyrically more gifted than Cube. Cmon

Three heaters in a row. NWA changed the way folks rapped. Cube was the primary lyricists from which all rhymes were derived in the group so that alone makes influence significant.
Pun wasn't around long enough and didn't break the mold despite his immense skill. Common has never slipped but he still lacks the influence. Mos Def output is lagging. Can't rest on Black on Both Sides forever. Lauryn one heater! Love Canibus, but his output is shaky. Talib Kweli might be competition. Shan, simply no. I feel Cube influence was greater than LL's. Kool Moe didn't survive after LL served him. I concur Chuck D should be in the top 5 cause he satisfied all 3 criteria.

I just text about 7 or 8 of my folks about Cubes single,
5 of em responded, and said this track is dope.
Apparently, West Coast is respected by those who respect West Coast.
But I thought we were over that by now.............
I guess not.

OMG Lauryn one hitter? I almost blew a blood vessel on that one. She has dudes BEGGING to come back. She CARRIED the fuggees and put them on the map with her singing AND rapping. And if your gonna knock a dude out for output, you gotta classify it, cause tupac has like 50 albums put out after he died. Cube is in the Convo for top 25, but not top 10 nor top 5, in any catergory that you can name resulting from Hip hop, other than kids movies
