Well to be fair, Shook Ones Part 2 is a classic song, and nothing else on that album comes close to it.

I've been hooked on A Tribe Called Quest for some months now. They've frankly become my favourite hip hop group and The Low End Theory has become my favourite hip hop album.

Been listening to J. Cole's Warm Up mixtape, cool stuff

Eminem's Recovery. My God.

^ So true. Love this ones:

Still the King.

I'm not that into rap music, but I must say, this B.o.B album is ******* awesome. Great track after great track. Don't know why, but somehow this reminds me of some of the bit older Kanye material.

Didn't know where else to put this:

I fear for the lives of every single 16 year old boy in her high-school.

 

[ARIAGA II]

No WAY!!!!

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Holy ******* **** she's hot. I guess Kim was too.

 

[ARIAGA II]

Oh.

Oh. My bad. But the twitter being fake doesn't mean the pics are? My bad again if they are. It does raise the question of her current appearance though, and she will be 17 this year (Christmas day, wikipedia'ed it).

that whole album is classic, nothing like mobb pre g-unit.

the infamous, murda muzik, tracks on the clue mixtapes.

tribe is one of my favorites, de la soul too if we are taking it back to the early 90's.

redman is the s**t though.

If you really want your Messi comparison, Lil' Wayne is probably the best comparison for a current rapper. Child prodigy turned into the best in the world.

best in the world ?

cmon now, i think you went a little too far on this one.

please dont tell me drake is your favorite artist too.

even jay on his grown up tip cant be touched, not by wayne or any other artist from 04 till now.

 

[regularcat]

wish id have found this thread months ago, i have hard drives full of classic albums, but nothing from 05 till now because its all commercial sell out booth thug rappers.

& just to touch on the eminem posts, if its anything after the marshall mathers album, i wont touch it & please dont tell me i dont know what im missing, cause i do.

 

[Filipower]

Why do you say that? (the part about Em)

 

[regularcat]

Why do you say that? (the part about Em)

to me his first 2 albums displayed the real eminem, once he released that garbage w/ d12 then hooked up w/ 50 he changed his whole steez.

everything after the marshall mathers lp doesnt sound good to me.
he got on that super hard tip due to joining up w/ 50.

at first he was a funny rapper, albums that had real hip hop to them, making fun of pop music, the second he gets a real gangsta behing him he starts going after rappers like ja rule.

dude seems fake as s**t to me, hes not respected, so i cant respect his music & now he is commercial like the rest.
he has word play, but im just not that impressed, same goes for wayne.

Bro, that post was written 2.5 years ago. Before Drizzay and all the bull****. Think Carter III was his most recent, and only a few years off all that mixtape success and Carter II.

I agree with you on Em, and Wayne now as well, but I like the Eminem Show. Still that **** was like 10 years ago.

I really can't stand anything after about 05 either with the exception of Kanye who is already making a serious case for GOAT. Jay... give me a break, he's not even top 5 NYC rappers in his generations, and generations come FAST in this industry.

Nas, Big, Big L, Pun, and Ghostface or Raekwon were/are all vastly superior. Jay is solid, but he's a product of commercialization and sales at a time when a LOT of dirty tricks were hyping up ****ty artists with unbelievable opening weeks. NO LIMIT. I respect Reasonable Doubt, Volume 1, Blueprint, and Black Album (and WTT), but at his best Jay couldn't touch those 5 I listed. Jay wasn't putting out Illmatic or Ready to Die or the Purple Tape. He couldn't, he didn't have that kind of ability. He had a verse on Lifestyles ov da Poor and Dangerous and was... not great.
