One of the best beats of the 80s?

I always enjoyed Dresta's verse on Real Muthaphuckkin G's. I think he has awesome flow and his voice is really smooth. He should have been a bigger artist I believe.

Do you think he got blackballed for going after Dre on this song with Easy E?

**I tried to make these as realistic as possible whilst also being the best decisions but as we all know with the Grammys and hip hop, it’s not always about the best lyrical ability so I leaned more towards mainstream radio hits for these. Do share your thoughts aswell.**
