Discuss.

Also, where does he rank among artists of every genre when it comes to story telling and imagery?

Not even on par with the best 80s rappers? Slick Rick, Chuck D, and a few more are all better story tellers IMO.
ETA: He's not even the best in his band.

I will say his ability to have laid back flow like on Spottieottiedopalicious and then to pick up speed on songs like Southernplayalisticcadilicamusik is impressive. I do have to say though, old UGK had some great story telling raps

Wanna list me some of his better tracks? Never really listened to him to be honest, but I'm all ears. I've always heard he's a great rapper and I'm always open to expanding my catalog. Just never got the chance to listen to him, I know he's a little before my time.
