2814526, It's closer than it appears on the surface

Extra P is definitely been a part of more than a handful of classic tracks, but rhyming isn't his best attribute. "Lookin' at the Front Door" is one of my favorite songs of all time. That being said, he's more than competent on the mic.

The Fresh Prince on the surface seems like a very elementary rapper, but he's a clever emcee. "Brand New Funk" was when I really started to see this kid as being a gifted writer and emcee. Sometimes his style comes off as corny, but I think because he was always marketed as family friendly. I don't doubt the guy can rock anything that's presented to him.
