because I see his name used when discussing this topic
though I’ve always felt Jim was underrated as a lyricist.
Since the first time I heard Diplomatic Immunity, the double disc joint,
I thought he was nice.

A perfect example is The First imo. He killed that. Actually as I sit here and write this:
Imo Jim I felt dumbed it down a bit on one of his solo efforts
- not the debut - and then picked the lyricism back up after that one dumbed down album.

Underrated artist and lyricist.
