One of the best lyricists alive, if not the best- Aesop Rock is insane too, amazing lyricist Crooked could carry Shady records on his back with eade- slaughterhouse was good- anyone know what happened? Did they just start doing their own thing? They're all awesome, but Crooked a different kind of excellent- but Ortiz and Royce are fire, I think Budden is good and probably misunderstood, but they can all kill it, Crookwd I seems most hungry, raw, and lyrical- his wordplay is unique, it's fiyah
