That's a god-awful amount of homage.

Anyway I can understand why Jay-z is as big as he is (not really actually) wouldn't be anywhere near my top 10 but he is a business, man.

Ali showed me this one:

It's not like he tries to pass those lines as his own, ALL of those artists are famous and their fans and most 'hip hop heads' will know he's just paying homage

Tom Ford, Louis Vitton, Versace those are names. Dude namedropped Tom Ford many times last album.

at homage.

true that 2013 eminem doesnt come close to this 90s stuff (i dont rap god) but in the big picture eminem is still the man and people like Kendrick and Drake ( Laughing

) are still just kids

Yeah, I'm sure on Jay's first album in '96 he was getting paid by Nike, Cristal, Gucci, Mercedes, Lexus among others.

From teenage sweetheart to a scumbag with hardly any redeemable features. My sister was in love with this guy a couple of years ago now she hates his guts.

Just been listening a lot of Kanye stuff pre WTT.

What the hell happened?

College Dropout, Late Registration, Graduation and. MBDTF are all classics while 808s is a personal favourite of mine especially around this type of season. That album helped me get over the first girl I've ever had strong feelings for. Crying or Very sad

Since Dark Fantasy almost everything has been trash though even his features. I honestly blame Jay Z, WTT never should have happened. I mean Kanye was mediocre throughout the album and still outrapped him easily.

I mean has he had an above average verse since WTT happened?

Long post but in short come back Ye. Damn Yeezy Yeezy we don't know you no mo'. Sad

College Dropout and Late Reg are top 5 albums for me personally
