i havent heard enuff of tony to argue who's better. but i see starks as more hype, thug type, bust you in the back of yo head, type mc. while thought seems more of a comtemplative, laid back type mc. it seems like you get hype more off G-diddy's energy rather than his lyrics, and vice versa for BT-diddy (inspired by the boondocks strip). as for who's better? wouldn't be easier if you asked "who's better: black thought or....mase?"
peace
L-diddy(haha)
