The best matchup of these is scarface vs cube.
Both:
• Came in the game in the 80s and lasted decades later
• Had iconic solo and group careers
• Wrote for other group members
• Had huge influence over the next generation of great rappers
• Heavily influenced by Chuck D
• Among greatest voices and storytellers in hip hop
• Had balance between introspective street conscious content and hard/gangsta sh1t.
Only real difference is Scarface produced or co-produced a lot of his own songs. I'm always goin Face, but they right next to each other to me on the all time rankings. You can't go wrong either way.
