@Shady"

Yeah for real man, he may have some “out there” songs… But you really need to listein to some of his shit closely, even in the midst of when the “goofy” lyriics come out listein in between them, hes always taling about his real life shit and how he feels.

• 1 even in his comedy you need to read between the lines and understand what he is saying for real, then you will be like WHOA its amazing how he was able to sneak such a message through a goofy song on the radio, there would be no way to get away with that directly coming out and saying some of the stuff he jokes about

@waltbabyluv

has his album been delayed for 9 years? or is that how long since hislast album? theres a difference

yea I might of said earlier it was delayed for 9 years sorry, i meant to say its been hyped up for about 9 years now, since 2000…

@waltbabyluv

Lupe Fiasco, Talib Kwali, Common, Mos Def, Nas are all i reall like as far as rap goes. I used to like Kanye alot, but since he has changed into what he is now, i cant stand him anymore.

lupe is amazing for sure, common and mos def are very very good as well i love mos def’s style and voice its really nice !

I feel the same way almost about kanye, but the reason why i dont like him now it seems hes too high on his chair. The fact that we has gone into a different genre does not bother me much because i know he is an artist and he is trying to do something original, and hes doing it because he feels it… thats a great thing but i do not like the over use of auto tune hes killing it, antares much be rich off kanye alone

@94Gt5.0

I remember listening to all the NAS records, good shit right there!

yea man, his first two albums, are retarded good… lyrically nuts man, real pro shit…

marshall mathers LP>>>>>>>>>>>*

“stan” is one of my favorite songs of all time

stan was a great song because its one of the few that made it to the top of the charts got air time on FM and tv and showed alot of people who think they “listen to rap” that he was more than just a goofy dude with dirty jokes and actually had some serious skill

@OsoiNA6

Illmatic is a serious album, “Life’s A B%tch” and “It Ain’t Hard to Tell” are a couple of my favorites. DJ Premier’s production worked really well with Nas’ flow, and Nas’ lyricism just took things to a whole new level.

As for Eminem, he is a phenomenal artist but I just don’t like some of the things we writes about. On the other hand, a couple of his songs (“When I’m Gone” comes to mind) really make it obvious how much talent he has.

I personally like Dre’s delivery, he’s one of the better producers who can get on the mic. As for lyricism he won’t win any prizes, but a lot of his rhymes are ghost-written anyways, so it’s not him there. I really like Dre’s part in “Bodyguard”, the diss track on Ja Rule with Eminem and Obie Trice. I don’t know if he wrote that himself, but it almost makes me fall off the treadmill every time trying to prevent from cracking up and going “oh snap”.

Big L is one rapper I really like and I have almost all of his tracks. Granted some of them are very dark and disturbing which I don’t like but man, on the freestyle tip I don’t know if anyone living or dead can hang with him. Even the “popular” tracks he had like MVP, Platinum Plus, Put It On really showcase his lyrical ability without seeming like “sellout” hits…

There’s a 7 or 9 minute freestyle online with Big L and Jay Z just going back and forth, and Jay Z literally runs out of $hit to say and he’s like “I’m out I’m out” and L just picks up and keeps rhyming, totally makes Jay look like a sucka (even though it was not a battle, it seemed more like the two bugging out).

This was from back when Jay Z rhymed like Fu-Schnickens so some of his flow was kinda funny (yeah I know saying Fu-Schnickens dates me). (If you want to find a sample of Jay Z before he actually blew up before Reasonable Doubt, go look for the song “Show and Prove” and listen to his funny flow hehe. Shoot, if you can name any two of the other obscure rappers in that video you should get a prize). Another good example: Da Graveyard with Jay Z and Big L, oh man, they rip the track apart (along with Lord Finesse).

Anyways, just makes me think, if Jay was rhyming that wack before and has transformed into the artist he is now… What could Big L have done? It’s too bad he’s gone.

Lastly, Big Daddy Kane is an old school pimp yeah but he deserves attention… Some of his raps just make me crack up and bust out laughing, not to mention he’s pretty good on the witty metaphorical tip. These are the types of songs I like for the most part. The fact that he was always wearing a tacky a$$ outfit and surrounded by ladies in every album cover was just a bonus. “Ain’t No Half Steppin’” is one of my all time favorites.

archie i agree with alot of what you wrote here… however its very clear that you havent listened to em’s shit enough, if you think of “when im gone” as an example of his great work then there is alot more you should hear from him IMO. When im gone was a great song and made out very well but there is so many songs from him that REALLY show his skills and emotions off better

and yea dre’s shit is OBVIOUSLY ghost written by royce da 5 9 (royce nickel nine :lol ), 50 cent, possibly jada and maybe jay z and eminem heavilyyyyy co writes if not ghost writes alot his shit especially on records he gets on with em, but its all good the more things someone can do and have any success at, the better… u can’t knock em for that

@TurboTravis

Tupac>(insert rapper here)

The early/mid 90’s stuff is the best anyway.

LOL tupac is cool, he had ALOT of schooling prior to his career in rap, performing arts and being in some other crew dancing etc etc , the dude really made shit happen, his music IMO is great lyrically and the shit he talks about in interviews is genius so hes really amazing

BUT i still put eminem on the top of my list because of what he was able to do with everything against him , from people hating him to loving him etc etc he could of been another vanilla ice but he wasnt and his album sales and how many other rappers talk about and respect him really shows for it…

talking about that i wonder if hes going to take up juelz request to feature on his song with wayne im gonna guess not because of the wayne issue with g unit
