2993388, very few people started out as good at rapping as Ed did

I can remember people thinking a vet was writing his rhymes for him, because a guy that young writing like that was seen as almost impossible.

what confuses you about that thread, whiteboy? that i said the dreaded n word? the word you yourself have said? And if you're black, the question remains. Punk.

Him coming back with the curl and seashell in his hair years after (only 2 but thats how rapid style shifts were in THE ACTUAL, FACTUAL golden eras) rhyming like a stunted retard killed his wave. Ed was effortless pre Nas. Arguably more lyrical too on some wordplay shit.
I measure rap fans on where they weigh in on certain improbable and often erased or marginalized LEGENDARY cats who impacted so profoundly sans these blah ass corporate "catalog" ass talking points.
Legal > It Was Written.
LANDSLIDE.
