pac big L and biggie may be better
but putting aside the whole disaster of a career as far as horrible marketing and dropping a CD, Crooked = the best rapper pound for pound (or bar for bar) and the most consistant at dropping an ill rhyme and never getting outshined (outside from Yukmouth on Cali G'z)
hes worked with Method Man and Rza, DPG, Snoop, Ras Kass, scarface, treach and a bunch of legends, shows the respect his talents have earned him.
too bad his time never came with death row. HHW really showed off his talent though, basically owning every classic beat or taking a Lil Wayne beat (best rapper alive) and KILLING IT insteada WAyne's wackness
