    Legendary catalog from the 80's into the mid 90's. Can't say I've been following his recent work (after the Marley Marl collabo album I mean). I haven't seen him perform live but I did meet him and heard him speak about 11 years ago at Fat Beats.

    I remember watching those Beef documentaries a few years ago, the bridge is over> also 9 mm goes b---, sound of the police, my philosophy.. Countless classics. I'd still rank him #4 behind Rakim Kool G and Big Daddy Kane

    Criminal Minded holds up better than anything kane did and arguably better than Paid in Full
