Lil Flip is a legend in his own right

[@Texas_Made_]

Zro has always been the best to me..his old school songs may have been hardcore and perhaps too deep or sad to some BUT he got alot of people through some real life situations and feelings,and that in itself takes you far and keeps your songs playing for years..

[@NavyCook08]

He needs to go back to that his formar lyrical self before Crack album and start collabinh with realer and more lyrical rappers and emcees like K-Rino, Scarface, NaS. Stop wantinh following the crowd and having his beats and downgrading his lyrics by following the shitty trap rap music and collabing with all these fakes and no lyrical clowns like Rick Ross and Gucci Mane to name a few! Needs to go back to his Rap a Lot producer Mike Dean or even The Alchemist and make better music that sounds better than the shit he has been putting out the past decade.#FACTS

[@NavyCook08]

Plus there is always K-Rino and Scarface as one of the best rappers lyrically out of TX, The South or King of The South?

[@Texas_Made_]

@@NavyCook08 yeah I agree with that also!
