The Official Rap Thread part 1

[Ali]

here is our heaven for the hip hop heads to talk about ANYTHING rap related..
what I'm thinking right now is that Nas > Jay-Z

agree / disagree ?

[KMD]

agree.... hip hop wise.... jay is more versatile leaning toward pop culture.

you heard the latest track nas and common???

[Raptorgunner]

I use to hat Jay, but latly I start to listen to him the man is great. Nas is amazing love the guy one of my Fav rappers.

I use to be a west coast guys hated the east but after biggie got shot I changed I started to listen to all hip hop.

[zizzle]

jay Z = crap. i cant understand what the hype is all about, but for some reason the media keeps shoving that bullcrap down our throats

to me, 2pac, big pun, big L, Rakim, Nas >>>>> Jay Z



edit: i found this jewel today. best shit i've heard in years

[KMD]

Well Jay used to be a great MC, remember reasonable doubt? but even he said it

"I had to dumb down my lyrics to double the dollars"

so he changed his way around, and profit wise a smart move, but from a hip hop point of view he's average! For me Jay has lost it, he doesn't fit in the pop music and makes little of good hip hop, the last good album was Black Album...

But damn i missed rakim for so long, i had that 2cd of his greatest hits, and it was the only one in my cd player for a year!!!

gonna kick that nostalgia....

[Ali]

the only album I enjoyed from Jay was blueprint 3 tbh, maybe it was the production idk


Rakim is so boss

I swear to you Mole, I wasn't the one who gave you the neg rep.

But still 2pac>>>>>>>>all.

[M99]

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

I expected it lol, its just a personal preferance thats who i prefer.

Pac is still a freaking legend and still listen to him on a daily basis(when i do listen to rap because ill admit i have been listening to it very sparingly in the last year)......



Love me some Scarface aswell.

[M99]

The ones you mentioned are legends as well

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Ofcourse i was just saying i prefer them

Despite the fact i consider Biggie the greatest ever i also consider Juicy to be overrated.

My favourite Biggy song......

[Raptorgunner]

Biggie and tupac are the greatest rappers of all time.

[Chad]

2Pac and DMX

[zizzle]

2Pac and DMX

wierd thing that no one rates DMX anymore
he was good back in the days, but once he retired(?) people seemed to forget about him
its like he didnt leave a mark in the hiphop scene eventhough he was active for so long

Maybe because he became a lowlife crackhead who gets arrested annually. And he never retired, he put drugs before music and that's why he fell off. Cocaine's a hell of a drug.

He actually just got out of prison again though, he'll probably make some new music soon.

[Ali]

DMX one of the greatest .

[Ali]

I like Biggie , no one get me wrong , life after death is in my top 10 albums but I find Biggie to be over-hyped with all due respect

[JAY-Z]

Biggie was a boss at his time, his influence can be seen now too.Fantastic flow, great delivery, very good story telling.He easily gets in the top 5 of all time.One of who I like the most as MC's is BIG L.He is just WOOOOW, punchlines to the fullest, awesome flow, good story teller and hard metaphors.Nas is a legend to rap too.Rakim?? the fiend of the microphone, no doubt he is the one that changed rap, you can see him copy his still nowadays too ...

Top 7

BTW, WEST COAST hip hop, only for relaxation, no lyrics at all, I dont like it.Everything was brought by the east.

[Ali]

DMX has more then 2 albums worth of material.

Wu Tang is some of the most over-rated groups ever.

That mean's he's a popular, by your standard's Lil Wayne is the best ever.
