Where didn't I do that?
Yea's he pretty average in my opinion but when he really tries his verses can match the best of them, take this verse from Go To Sleep (Cradle 2 The Grave Soundtrack):
[Obie Trice]
We got you niggaz, nervous
On purpose, to hurt your focus, you'se not MC's, you'se worthless
You'se not them G's, you'se a circus, you'se no appeal, please
You'se curtains, you use words, cool heard, slurred in two thousand third
You'se purpin, you'se no threat, who's ya servin?
We lyrically oughta bury you beneath the dirt when
You fuck with a label overseein the Earth
Shady muthafucka, O. Trice's birth
And as I mold, I become a curse
So we can put down the verse, take it to the turf
Cock and squeeze, and he who reach the hearse is he who
Depicts fiction in his verse
And as I breathe, and you be deceased
The world believe you deceived just to speak
You'se not the streets, you'se the desk
Use not your chest nigga, use a vest
Before two's choose ya rest, you chose death
Six feet deep, nigga, that's the depth
That verse is tight no doubt He's good when he puts effort in.

Maybe cuz we have different standards on lyricism but imo this verse isn't SICK or ill at all. It's okish, the good thing is that it's better then most mainstream lyrics put out. But that doesn't mean that he is sick cuz this text is nothing but simple.
And that verse on shit hits the fan. That was nothing more then good. If you(jason) think these were one of his best then it says alot about obies talent.
Listen to a song with Crooked and you'll see that he rips the mic on EVERY song.

You're right, it does speak for Obie's talent. IMO its speaks for how fucking lyrically spectacular the man can be WHEN HE WANTS. The main phrase in that sentence though is WHEN HE WANTS. If you don't find that verse to be extremely potent, I don't know what the fuck you're looking for.
Give me some examples of what you think are spectacular verses from people.
