It's been a while since I've listen to
Death Certificate but from what I remember I think
The Predator is superior musically. It has this hard, bleak edge to a lot of the tracks that I absolutely love—which I don't think is as prominent on
Death Certificate—and his rapping matches that hardness in a way that that doesn't really exist on his other albums (or at least the ones I've heard). As far as lyrics go, I'm not sure. I don't remember the lyrics to
Death Certificate really standing out to me.
The Predator, on the other hand, discusses the 1992 L.A. riots and the cultural climate surrounding them in such a vivid way that it always brings me right back to that tense, pivotal time, and still feels immediate to me even two decades later. As far as rhyme schemes go, I have no idea and it's not something I particularly care about, I'm just interested in whatever sounds best.
