What are you talking about?
The OP didn't specify anything about being a better lyricist. He simply asked who was the King Of The South and my response pointed out the two most respected and feared artists from the south.............
Scarface and Master P

Luke invented the game.
Luke carried Hip Hop on its back when the PMRC was trying to ban Hip Hop. Think over that. The PMRC was trying to ban stores from selling Rap music. The Florida police were arresting nightclub owners for letting the 2 Live Crew perform.
In June 1989, U.S. district court Judge Jose Gonzalez ruled the album As Nasty As They Wanna Be obscene and illegal to sell. The case was reversed and went all the way to The Supreme Court, who refused to hear the appeal, so Luke and the 2 Live Crew won.
Who cares what Luke has done in the past 10 years? If what you posted is correct, he was active in Hip Hop for 20 years. His legacy is set in stone.

I grew up in Massachusetts and I remember Throw The D, Ghetto Bass and We Want Some Pussy from 1986 and 1987.
As Nasty As They Wanna Be was when they blew up on MTV and started getting publicity for being obscene, but the real heads already knew all about them.
And they had 2 albums before As Nasty As They Wanna Be.
I first remember hearing of the Geto Boys from their self titled album that came out in 1990 (after NWA). But they didn't get any play until My Mind's Playin Tricks On Me, which came out in the summer of 1991.
Try Again.

Im the one making up rules by saying you need to be a good rapper to be claimed "King of _____" in the rap game?
But you are over here listing Master P because hes "most feared"
My original/current answer to the thread starter's question was/is either Scarface or Master P. He asked who the king of the south was.
In order to be the 'King', you have to be both respected and feared, in which both of those guys were/are. At this point, you're arguing for the sake of arguing. There is nothing wrong with you simply admitting that you're wrong.

Yeah that might have been hot wherever you're from, but I live in the Northeast. We got a lil taste of Too $hort, Ice T, 2 Live Crew and NWA. But not so much Geto Boys.
From my perspective, growing up in Massachusetts, I was exposed to Gangsta rap first through Ice T and then Eazy E and NWA. I thought NWA was before The Geto Boys until somebody checked me. In fact, I used to frequent the oldschoolhiphop.com message board before it became a ghost town. DJ ReadyRed used to post there.
My point is growing up in Massachusetts I heard of The 2 Live Crew before I heard of the Geto Boys.
Maybe its because 2 Live Crew made clean versions of their songs so the college radio stations could play them.
Anyway, Luke was before Scarface.
