If anybody is to be called the Nas of Los Angeles it should be E-Rule. Proof?: First of all, I have never worked with or heard an Emcee with a better knack for what musicians refer to as, the pocket. His voice literally becomes an instrument sometimes so much that is hard to receive all of the emotions in his rhymes. Second- He is one of the first brothers (*see Movement X) in Los Angeles to rhyme from the perspective of The Gods and have knowledge of self. Third: I always say that Los Angeles is unique because it's inner-city life is traditionally influenced by car, jail and GANG cultures. E-Rule is authentic because he has always been from from a well known hood and never used it to get over in his music career. You have to respect that.
In our lane, there weren't many Emcees that pushed me outside of my crew (Solar Panel) back in the 90's. Then there were people like Divine Styler, Mykah 9, and E-Rule who made me think deeper, be more free, and rhyme more precise. here is a song we did together in like 97'..
