| Not seeing any of Red albums being lyrical masterpieces. I know you are a big fan though. Red has one of the best deliverys in rap that I think gets twisted for lyrical ability. Kinda like Lil Wayne. Not saying Wayne is anywhere on Red level rap wise. Just saying. | |

| Good call on the Jean Grae, Powell. I'm not a female mc fan, but she can rap her ass off.
Life After Death is almost there for me, but there is a little fluff on it IMO, basically the same reason I didn't include Harlem World (yeah, fuck off). |
