FanNation - The Republic of Sport

I liked Bad Meets Evil. He and Eminem used to rhyme on tracks together but when Em got big, Royce got mad. He hates that guy now, but Royce is vicious.

I would co-sign on that dude all day.

The only song I can think of that I've heard him on is "Bad Meets Evil" from the Slim Shady LP.

He has put out a lot of his Bar Exam tracks. He did some good freestyles over the Love Lockdown beat (he calls it Shot Down) and the T.I. Live Your Life beat (which he called Live Your Life Part 2).

Oh yeah he murders Scarface's Forgot About Me. He goes four full verses on people.

Speaking of Royce, I've been looking for some of his better material (like Death is Certain). Can't find much...

No they're real. I got them at a record store (f.y.e. to be exact).

Prolly a bootleg Ben. Where did you get them.


Yeah Royce is sick. I have his Death Is Certain. Slept on

This is weird...

I got these three A Tribe Called Quest CDs recently and I listened through all of them tonight and found that some tracks are edited, some aren't, and one was both (on the same track!).

None of 'em have the parental advisory sticker and I did some research and found that I could not locate a picture of any of the album covers with the "parental advisory" patch on them.

Any of ya'll know why Quest did it like that?

I thought I'd accidentally bought edited stuff...

Also Charles Hamilton. This kid from Harlem is pretty damn good. He is an acquired taste, but he makes some nice beats and is pretty witty.

He might be NYC's version of Lupe.

Listening to a lot of Royce Da 5'9" lately. He's a monster. Hopefully he gets someone to offer him a major label deal.

People on the XXL mag website bash Lupe but those are the internet gangstas that I hate so much.

Anyway, I want to hear that Z-RO album. I heard some stuff of his a couple years ago and thought he was pretty good.

I just wanted to give my man Zro his props on his newly released album cracked. 1 of his best albums yet.

I'm seeing Lupe at the University of Loyola MD a week from Saturday!!!

Lil' Wayne ain't got **** on Jay...

Also, most people from what I've read love Lupe Fiasco. I haven't seen many bash him.

Dude is straight up amazing though and I can't wait for LUPEND.

Good point Agrippa. I am tired of going to XXL Mag and SOHH and reading all the gay bashing of Lupe Fiasco. Just because the guy is clearly intelligent and not "dumbing it down" he must be a nerd or gay.

Weezy has hot lines but his songs for the most part are garbage but these dudes love it. It's trash but these internet gangstas are all over his nuts for it.

I just think hip-hop needs a more accepting fan base and one rapper with skills that can cross over to all fanbases.

PS: If I read one more Weezy is better then Jigga argument I'm going to bitchslap someone through my computer. That makes me SICK.

It is that then there is the whole loving to be hood factor. Its like you are a nerd or gay in the hood if you like music with substance. So mainstream keeps feeding back into itself in its own vivacious circle. Look at Lil Wayne. Dude is not that intelligent and in the hood he can do no wrong. Hip hop is not heard by the masses unless it lacks substance unless you are the exception which is few far in between

It's part lack of Hip-Hop education among listeners and the fact that radio wants to play the same 5 songs all day long. Unfortunately out of those 5 songs, 4 of them are true trash.

I blame the radio, I blame Soulja Boy, and honestly I blame New York for not finding an MC with national appeal to keep rap going. Not hip-hop but rap. Lyrics, content, and all the things that people associate with the East Coast and New York has been missing lately and as much as I respect Jigga, we need a successor to him and in a hurry.

That's not necessarily true, Agrippa. Many people DON'T listen to the radio (no matter what genre they like/prefer) because the station plays the same songs all day and a lot of the time they are the not so great to sh*tty stuff. Many stations have lowered the number of songs in rotation by a large amount over the years. Why? I don't know.

The thing about radio is its more geared towards people who don't care about music unless there in there car,club or 12-13 years old. So they play the club sheat or what the kids are listening too. More picky consumers like us dont have as many outlets like popular city radio stations. We never will. A station that played Common or Roots 5 times a day would be playing Spanish music within a week here in Texas. Radio will be garbage till we start to really educate and breed a generation that doesn't like to superman hoes

The radio is what killed hip-hop. That's NaS' answer. The radio killed hip-hop.

What's on the radio has been straight garbage for a year or so now (probably more)...

Things just ain't the same...

Yeah, it's hard to top that. I have been getting more into concious or backpack type rap lately.

Starting to realize that what's on the radio lately is straight garbage. We need to get back to lyrics and substance.

Thats one of my favorite poems EVER

Listening to Return Of Innocence Lost.

Damn...I have a hard time listening to this without getting kind of emotional.

Good.

Dan's back!

I more then agree with you about Black Thought. That's an amazing MC right there.

Man we need to do something to get this group going again! It was popping for a second.

I have just about everything The Roots have done. BlackThought is the most underrated MC in the game. He is TOP 10 of all time IMO. Rising Down is a sick track. Mos and Styles rip that sheat. I still get chills listening to Things Fall Apart's Return To Innocence Lost.

Been listening to The Roots a lot lately. Been killing The Seed 2.0, but then again I am a BIG Cody ChesnuTT fan.

Just wanted to make sure you where on your $hit

Already. Im from Texas so you know I know about some Zero and Trae. Glad you joined the group

Agrippa i was reading your blog and you where stating that you look for that one song to pull you done or lift you up and you named Lil flip song. Well next time you you feel and need that right song pop listen to you some Z-Ro.

Something has to be done about the voting for best group! No way is Clispe a better group than Outkast.

I really hate to bail on y'all, but I'm done with FN, so I'm turing the keys over to... who ever is left.

Actually I have the same problem Agrippa. I blog but to no response so that's why I don't do many for the group but I still love it. Of all the groups I belong too this is still my favorite.

Looks like Danbash has been voting everytime he comes here^^ LOL. Clipse are tight but not that tight.

I come here everyday! I tried blogging,didn't care for the lack of response. This is still my favorite group

Is it just me but for a group with 79 people, only Esco, Danbash, BigBen, Agrippa and myself seem to be the only ones here?

Not sure how to feel about Love Lockdown, Danbash. When I first heard it, I was shocked that Kanye would do a whole track singing.

I kind of like it, but I kind of hate it too. Need some more time to really figure that one out.

Jeezy got the song Don't Do It on The Recession. Freeway has the same sample on Free At Last called Baby Don't Do It (featuring Scarface). Free's version is 10 times better.

Outkast easily. No one is even close.

Just got that new GZA=Pro Tools. FIRE! 4 mics IMO

I really don't plan on going out and buying anything until Theater of The Mind and Paper Trail. I'll peep the tracks on We Global on the Internet first.

My fave tracks off the recession were My President and Crazy World.

Actually bought Jeezy's The Recession. I bought the first 2 Jeezy albums so I decided to buy this one.

I listened to it twice...and it's typical Jeezy. Good beats and some decent wordplay but I'll never call him a "great" rapper.

Tough poll. I was torn between Black Star, The Lox, or The Clipse. I got love for all three but at the end of the day I had to go with Pusha T and Malice.

I am a Jay fan but I do agree with you Esco. Kingdom Come was weak and American Gangster is better but compared to some of Jay's classics it's subpar.

As far as his featurings go, I didn't think he did too bad on Mr. Carter. The Put On remix was pathetic on his part and NaS eats his lunch on Black Republican, and Success the joint on American Gangster.

If they weren't on the list, I would've voted Outkast, but I gotta live up to my rep as the biggest Clipse fan.

I know you guys knew who I voted for.

VA!

Anyone feeling that new Ye song?

Anybody else hear about Ludacris considering becoming a full time actor? I think he might be able to pull it off. He's a really good actor, he could become like Mos Def.

I'm starting to not feel Jay-Z's new stuff. First, I thought he was getting old, but I realized that's not an excuse while Scarface, Rakim, Ice Cube, KRS and Willie D are putting it down even still.

Since the Black Album (which is one of my favorite albums) his flow just sounds weak. Even on his featured tracks, such as Mr. Carter, Put On remix and Black Republican, he doesn't sound like his heart is in it anymore. Kingdom Come was garbage IMO, almost at a Nastradamus level. American Gangster was better, but not by that much.

T.O.S. was actually a pretty solid album I have to say.

Many Men is my favorite track. That's actually top 20 for me.

Also did like Heat. Sometimes, I like a good violent rap.

Although I do like If I Can't. Thats in my top.... 20ish.

50's been acting civil lately... which is really not 50. Maybe he finally realized after Curtis and T.O.S. bombed everybody hates him.

Yeah they ended it. Kiss talked about it on the radio. Supposedly 50 made nice. I was kind of surprised.

That's still going on? I thought it had fizzled out about a year ago...

Kiss and 50 ended their beef?

Yeah, that song always makes me laugh. Cassidy's version was... um... yeah.

I'm not a fan of the R.Kelly remix though. Don't think Kelly was that funny.

You aren't the only one but I think that song is funny.

Am I the only one who thinks the dudes who sing Lookin Boy make Soulja Boy look like Talib Kweli?

Wow you guys are a bunch of jerks. Fine I will stop posting, didnt realize having a different opionion makes you the group joke. And that poll? Pretty funny to whoever put it up.. really cool let me tell you!
EFB- K-ROD 53 08/29/08

No, no, have your different opinion, but when it's an opinion as misled as your opinion is it's going to get you ridiculed.

Just a quick poll before I go to Columbus...

Is it necessary to show the poll results?

Whatever. Eminem: A lot more than Plies.

My bad EFB.

Yeah... The poll was mine...

That rant does not inculde Hova

Wow you guys are a bunch of jerks. Fine I will stop posting, didnt realize having a different opionion makes you the group joke. And that poll? Pretty funny to whoever put it up.. really cool let me tell you!

It's KRS...how can it not be liked?

You guys like the motto and pic? Great.

A new Damn that Beat is hard blog is coming soon.

Damn Willie D's verse on Quit Hatin' The South is hard...
Esco 08/26/08

Are you talking about the track by UGK? I haven't listened to that track in awhile so I can't remember who's on it.

I'm likin' the new banner and motto...

A new picture and banner? Nice touch!

I heard that Esco. I like Joell Ortiz. He's raw. He's a hip-hop fan's kind of rapper. He will never really be commercial to sell any kind of numbers but if you appreciate lyricism and content then he's your kind of guy.

Not liking Swing Ya Rag. It's a good Swizz beat but it's a typical beat from Swizz. Plus, I really don't like T.I. on that anyway. I know he went for something different but it doesn't work with me.

Am I the only one who thinks its BS that Chamillionaire is selling his new mixtape, as opposed to just putting it out lie everyone else does? I mean, I'm not a particularly big fan of his, but with his popularity slowly declining, I think it would have been a better idea to just put it out for free.

"Hip Hop Remix" - Joell Ortiz ft/ Jadakiss and Saigon

The only ones I've really enjoyed were SLU and No Matter What.

Swing Ya Rag is okay. I don't know, from the songs I've listened to, Paper Trail isn't living up to my personal expectations.

Damn Willie D's verse on Quit Hatin' The South is hard...

Swing Ya Rag is my new audio crack.

One of the best verses off all time. I feel like I'm walking a tight rope, without a circus net
I'm popping percocets, I'm a nervous wreck
I deserve respect; but I work a sweat for this worthless check
Bout to burst this tech, at somebody to reverse this debt
Minimum wage got my adrenaline caged
Full of venom and rage
Especially when I'm engaged
And my daughter's down to her last diaper
That's got my **** hyper
I pray that god answers, maybe I'll ask nicer
Watching ballers while they flossing in their pathfinders
These overnight stars becoming autograph signers
We'll all gone blow up and leave the past behind us
Along with the small fry's and average half pinters
While playa haters turn **** like they have ****
Cause we see them dollar signs and let the cash blind us
Money will brainwash you and leave your **** mindless
Snakes slither in the grass spineless

No problem BigBen. It was just an idea.

Anyway, I have to say R.I.P. to Andre Young Jr.

I just can't believe that happened.

Hova, he shouldn't even waste his time. As I said in the "Favorite Rapper" topic on the board I can no longer value anything he says after he claimed Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West, and a few others were not hip hop.

I heard about that...

Supposedly Hood Surgeon (Dre's son) was going to be on a song on Detox.

BREAKING NEWS: Dr. Dre's son was found dead over the weekend. I would have to imagine this pushes back detox.

RIP

I have an idea. Clearly we are going back and forth here with this, but I think for the group it might not be a bad idea if EFB blogs his thoughts about Eminem. It might be interesting to see what FanNation as a whole thinks.

It might be good for the group.

" Try living in a third world country Marshall and stop searching for everyones pity." -EFB

Why would Eminem want to live in a third world country? Hell, how many rappers do you have that come from 3rd world countries? To my knowledge there are ZERO.

And since when was Eminem searching for ANYBODY'S pity. If you ever listened to him, he doesn't care what anybody thinks of him or how they feel towards him/about him.

True. All rappers tell fibs about their lives. No one is as real as they claim so you can't use that as an argument.

"Marshall spits lies.. simp as that."

You're kidding yourself if you think Plies, or the majority of the rap game, is always telling the truth about their lives.

TI went to a private high school. Is he still a great artist? Hell yes.

You may not like Eminem but he is far superior to Plies. It's almost rap sacrilege to compare the two.

"I just dont understand how you guys like eminem but not Plies." -EFB

How can you seriously even wonder that? Plies is not even close to the level of Eminem. I don't think I even need to go into detail on this.

EF have you ever truly listened to Eminem's albums? All of them are classics. Plies can't say that.

I actually liked what Em spit in What's The Difference but I see your point, he really didn't need to be in that song.

I like Eminem so I really can't talk here.

And he always talks about how hard his life was... oh PLEASE. Try living in a third world country Marshall and stop searching for everyones pity.

Marshall spits lies.. simp as that. Plus I dont even think he has an opinion of his own. When Dre came out with the song whats the difference, he basically formally apologized to Eazy... ok thats cool and was a good thing to do but why the fack was Marshall in that song? Like he was actually tight with Eazy? Plus, why is he claiming to be hood? He grew up in the suberbs. All he is is a poser.

Eminem provides legit lyrical content. All Plies wants to talk about is f8cking.

I just dont understand how you guys like eminem but not Plies. Weird but I guess everyone has different tastes. Personally, I CANT listen to eminem he is so annoying.

NOT!

Plies really is garbage. The onnly song I liked was Shawty, but everything else he's put out has sounded exactly like it, except worse.

Speaking of great artists, VIC's album leaked today! I'm SO picking it up!

5 good songs over what, two or three albums? You can listen to him...I'll stick with better artists...

Glad y'all liked that. It is audio crack like I said.

That hoe is raw.

No one on the corner has swagger like us.... swagger like us.... swagger like us....

THAT SHlT IS DOPE!

http://www.zshare.net/audio/17505780611bcbb1

Hope it's still good when y'all get it.

I got some audio crack for y'all.

Swagger Like Us: Kanye West, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and T.I.

IT'S CRAZY!!

Nah, I don't feel Plies. I didn't like any of those songs.

hypnotized
bust it baby
shawty
please excuse my hands, I am the club, worth goin fed to

of course hes hit or miss but when he hits he hits HARD

However the popular consensus is that Plies is garbage.

EFB, if I said everyone's garbage then I wouldn't have any music to listen to...

http://www.sohh.com/2008/08/soulful-blog--8.html

Man Andre's freestyle on John Legends new song is sick. He has to be the best alive right now.

I'm listening to the NY's Finest Instrumentals right now.

That got me thinking about hopefully (and I know this will never happen) Pete Rock or DJ Premier, Kid Capri, Green Lantern or somebody does a REAL NY's Finest compilation - like one with Nas, Jigga, Kweli, Mos Def, Fabolous, The Lox, Wu-Tang, Busta, everybody. That's just a pipe dream, but whatever.

Only song I've really felt Jones is that We Roll with Pete Rock and Max B.

big ben you say everyones garbage. Listen to I am the Club and if you can still say hes garbage than wow. That songs great,

Still can't believe Unk is beefing with Joe Budden. Idiot. Budden will never be commercial to sell, but that guy can battle. Unk is going to get killed

I'll pass on the Jim Jones remix. I have a love-hate thing with Jimmy. That's a track I'm sure I would hate him on.

Paper Planes is a real nice track. I heard a remix with Jim Jones (ugh) on it a few days ago.

Unk is doing what? Damn. Anyway, I know this is the Hip-Hop Fan Group but I wanted to put y'all on to a song by M.I.A.

I'm not a big fan of hers but I like the track Paper Planes. Give it a listen.

What's he gonna do? Dance at him?

Unk is trying to beef with Joe Budden.

*pause*

Birds and the Bees kinda reminds me of Girls, Girls, Girls.

No date yet. They are in the studio now. Flesh just got out after 8 in the Pinta. Bizzy is returning because all originals members a coming back. Album should be fire. Krazy Bone is one of the most underatted producers

Not really feeling Plies. He has his moments on the DJ Khaled stuff but I will never buy that guy's album.

My faith in Jigga hit a new low when he went on the radio and told the world that his mom made him apologize. I'd have smacked him if I was in the studio for that.

Anyway, just heard The Birds and The Bees by Lupe Fiasco. Nice track and a good beat by Kanye.

Mmm, the return of Dre or Eminem coming back

tough choice

G-Unit is on the way down, T.O.S was terrible, 50's gotta put something good up, maybe Dre and EM can salvage something

When's that album coming out, Agrippa?

Plies is, straight up, garbage.

I only like Krayzie. Layzie sounds... gay to me. Wish is ok.

Is anyone as excited as me about the new Bone Album with all the original members?? Even Flesh is going to be on there.

And then, this ****'s mom made him apologize?

I laughed. I was 13, with my cousin, and he played Ether, then Supa Ugly right after.

You laughed? I remember that like yesterday. Funk Flex and Angie Martinez played that whole battle out on Hot 97. It felt like all of New York was calling in that day to say who won. Out of every 10 callers, 9 said NaS. Shoot I was saying NaS and I ride with Jay. NaS killed him. Supa Ugly couldn't have been more embarrasing.

Shoot NaS is still killing him. He got the better of him on Black Republican and Success.

I seriously laughed when I heard Supa Ugly the first time. That plus Ether won the beef for Nasir.

Young Jeezy Feat. Nas- My President

I am officially co-signing with Jeezy. It may have taken 3 years, but I am now down with Jeezy.

Plies has a good flow, but that's about it. Not a big fan of him overall.

Whens Plies gonna get some love? I think with I am the club hes makin a high rep for himself. He has a lotta good songs out now.

Supa Ugly was just sad. No one could have came back from Ether but I at least expected Jay to do a lot better than Supa Ugly. That's why I think in a battle, Game could beat him because Game really does go hard. 120 Bars and 240 Bars were pretty good battle tracks on his part.

Like Supa Ugly's terrible self for example...

The Game can go hard. Jigga isn't really a battle rapper though so I can see Game really getting him in. Jay says slick lines but he has problems on a whole track.

The Takeover was nice but in the long line of battle raps it was pretty subpar in my opinion.

Ahhhhhh helllllll = The Game: ???I Will Tear Jay-Z Limb By Limb By Bloody Limb.???

What do you all think

http://allhiphop.com/stories/multimedia__podcasts/archive/2008/08/14/20409124.aspx

Khaled is annoying but I liked Out Here Grindin'. Glad to see Lil Boosie get on that.

I just DL'ed Ice Cube's Raw Footage album today, and I have to say, I'm thoroughly surprised. He really brought it on a lot of tracks. I think I might actually have to buy it.

DJ Khaled is an idiot with all that "we the best" nonsense.

Heads Up: I'll make another Beat is Hard blog before the weekend.

Dre and Cognac? Hmm...I like my yak. I might need to sip on that.

Personally, I don't think King Mathers is gonna drop this year, but Detox is just about set in stone.

Ironically enough, on the same day he drops detox, Dre is releasing his own brand of Cognac.

I've got my doubts about King Mathers, but I think Detox will materialize. Or maybe I'm just delusional.

Khaled is... annoying, to say the least. I admit I like those songs with a lot of rappers each coming on and dropping a verse, but he could diversify a little bit. Wayne, Ross, Fat Joe, Birdman and Jeezy get old quick. Mix it up with something new. That's why I'm So Hood Remix was so hot IMO, because of Luda, Busta and Big Boi.

TI for sure but that Luda album is probably number 2. I don't think Detox or King Mathers will ever happen.

Shawty Lo should know that TI will slaughter him. The hell is he thinking about going after TI.

All he does is pick fights with TIP, and have zero lyrical prowess.

Other then Dey Know I don't give a damn about Shawty Lo. I'm not feeling him at all.

Sir Lucius Left-Foot- Big Boi = I would say eminem but Encore was kinda whack to me. He needs to stop singing all the f***** time.

I dont like him either Esco

Am I the only one who doesn't give a retarded mosquito's left nut about Shawty Lo?

I don't usually **** with 50, but I like that "Too Hot" with Nas and Nature.

I really want King Mathers if it really comes out this year.

I loved No Matter What, Goat, but the other songs I've heard have been okay at best.

The King Mathers album is really just a lot rumors, but last time I checked, it's slated to drop this year.

Paper Trail is what I'm most looking forward to followed VERY closely by Detox. I'm also interested in King Mathers if anything becomes of it.

LAX was a close second. Every track I've heard so far has been great, especially My Life.

I voted Detox, but everyone needs to watch out for the new Clipse album. It's going to be the best produced album of the year, with Kanye, The Neptunes, Diddy, and a bunch of other people on it, and maybe with that credibility, and Pusha and Malice's talent, that album could sell.

Dre, Luda or Game....

Game is my boy, and Ludacris is one of my favorite rappers, but we've been waiting for Dre since what, '01?

Gotta go with the Doc.

Poll Results:

Illmatic: 37%

Illmatic Wins!

Wish you would is nice.

Blueprint 3 will be a great album. I call it from now.

Whoa. Ludacris and T.I.

"Wish You Would"

Yes. It's supposed to come out early 2009.

Blueprint 3???

http://www.prefixmag.com/media/jay-z/jockin-jay-z-blueprint-3-preview-video/20513/

*Jaw Drops*

The preview was nice. I really liked politics as usual and DTP magic.

Yeah they also gave Carter 3 like a 9 which should have been more like a 6.5.

This is bull... Allhiphop.com gave Ludacris' mixtape a 6.5 out of 10. It was at least an 8. But then, these are the same people who gave Untitled a 7.

That's exactly what I thought Esco. He just brought up a lot of old stuff in that verse that had no point in being said. It was weak of him. That's why I don't like Jigga's freestyle on Put On.

Isn't Prodigy locked up anyways? That's like 50 going at Shyne in Piggy Bank. Besides, Jigga got his point across in Takeover.

I actually hated that Jay-Z verse. A lot of that stuff is common knowledge here in NYC, so it's like why bring all that up? Plus, he kind of overexaggerates a little there.

Young Jeezy ft. Jay-Z: Put On remix

Jay's verse absolutely destroys Kanye's old one, or for that matter, Jeezy's.

IPOD classic today "Remember Me" Eminem - MM LP

"Vocabulary spills I'm +Ill+
plus +Matic+, I freak beats slam it like Iron Shiek"

Just noticed that said "Bi Boi" I meant Big Boi LOL

I'm actually listening to "It Ain't Hard To Tell" right now.

Gettin' money till my last day...thanks Esco. Flashback!!

http://allhiphop.com/stories/rumors/archive/2008/07/31/20353397.aspx

have to check out this Bi Boi video. He hit it hard man.

And some Uncle Luke, too. "Scarred" Just came on. Only song by him I got...

Biggie and The Lox "Last Day"

IPOD Classic for today. Shook Ones. - Mobb Deep = "Rock you in you're face ,stab your brain with your nose bone"

Illmatic > Stillmatic, IMO.

Stillmatic has a bunch of a great tracks, but as a whole, I gotta go with Illmatic. The World is Yours is one of the greatest songs ever, IMO.

They are both nice. But "It Ain't Hard to Tell" is one of the sickest songs I have ever heard

Just me, but I preferred Stillmatic to Illmatic.

I had to go Aquemini - 5 Mic's .Every song is fire to me. It was hard though picking that over PAC and UGK.

Great poll. I have to go with Ready To Die. I just have to.

Looks as though Nas took the "BEST RAPPER ALIVE!" Poll

Asher Roth and Wayne's Dedication 2. Nothing too interesting.

IPOD classic for today = Bizzy Bone = On The Freeway = Heavens Movie

Downloaded it and Nas' um... Reggin Tape. PIFFFF

The mixtape is called The Preview.

What's it called?

Luda's new mixtape drops today!!! Pick it up!

I think we're startin' to pick back up again. We've had 5 blogs in 6 days.

Yeah, Eminem definitely deserved to be in the poll moreso than Lil Wayne.

But what pisses me off even more has to be that Facebook group, Lil Wayne for President, that has thousands and thousands of people in it.

Nasir, no doubt.

The only Lil Wayne song that I seriously bump is I Feel Like Dying and that's because the beat is ill. Listening to a chopped and screwed version of it right now.

I agree. Only reason I put him in there is due to alot of reviews and even other creditable artist are making that outrageous claim. Hell even alot of the streets say that. I would put Em , Bun , Big Boi, Kurupt, Black Thought , Common all over him.

I'm not going to openly campaign but...

Lil Wayne does not deserve to be in this poll. Greatest rapper alive? NO.

http://www.defsounds.com/singles/Joe_budden_who_full

ALL of you gotta listen to this song.

Good lookin' out Agrippa. That site'll come in handy for me.

And on the poll, I'm not really sure who I should vote for so I'mma abstain.

IPOD on classic for the day = Kurupt "On, Onsite" Smoke Boogie: Space Oddessey- "The hell-hound came through and drown the whale
Pronounce, denounce, stripped in set sail.Soak in a could of smoke then inhale. Hold it in neva exhale"

just put him in there because he is mentioned by a lot of people as the best. I dont think so. I dont even think he is top 10. He's nice but not that nice.

Lil Wayne as a choice for the best rapper alive? Give me a break. His funky voice and good beats cover up his average lyrics.

Even I could say "a millie" a hundred times.

You know who I voted for.

I messed with datpiff before. Listening to 2Pac right now. The original version of My Block. Great beat, better words. 2PAC: He might be Cali Love but I like that he mentions his NYC roots first in this song. His Bronx and Harlem roots.

I've used datpiff for afew mixtapes.

What up yall. Just wanted to share datpiff.com:: "The Authority in Free Mixtapes" If you didn't already know its got all kind of free mixtape downloads from the top DJ's in the world.

Mike Tyson? The boxer?

The new lil wayne.....American Dream (ft. Mike Tyson)

Nas, Ray Cash, little bit of Khaled today.

IPOD shuffle classic today. "If Heaven Was A Mile Away" Nas - God's Son

Rediscovered American Gangster. Fallin' has to be the best track on that album.

Agree with Agrippa. I can recite All That I Got Is You forward, backward, fast, slow. That song is a true anthem.

IPOD on shuffle and up came "All that I got is you " Ghostface Killa. One one of the best hip hop songs ever.

Listening to some old Jadakiss right now. Go back and listen to All For The Love on The Lox Money Power Respect album. Damn, if Jada really got better promotion...

I know he totally destroyed A Millie!

Holy ****! He destroyed a milli!

Asher RIPPED A Millie!

And I should raid my brother's music collection. I've been on Wu-Tang all day.

same here those guys were good.

I have gone back in the day and started listening to my Onyx tapes. I miss those dudes.

Listening to this kid Asher. He's OK. I guess I could co-sign him.

The new album is conceptual. He said it's like a movie. I can't wait.

And Ludacris and DJ Drama have a mixtape dropping soon. Can't wait to cop that.

He's this white dude who sounds a lot like Eminem in voice, but IMO the comparisons end there.

Have never heard of Asher Roth. I'll check it out.

I liked Cannon and Roth Boys too.

I saw him on Rap City, and kind of liked it. So I downloaded his mixtape, and it's pretty good. He ripped Mr. Me Too.

But in a good way. One of my favorite new rappers.

And Asher Roth is really weird.

I've heard throw it up Esco.

I throw it up like ya girls dress on prom night!!!

Who the hell took my blogging rights. Stupid cliques...

Anybody here know anything about Asher Roth?

Busta Rhymes ft/ Ludacris and Lil Wayne "Throw It Up" PIFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

No Matter What is definitely the song of the Summer.

T.I. is REAL!

No Matter what has been in heavy rotation on my ipod. It's the song of the summer, IMO.

u alll gotta hear this nice song by Lloyd Banks +50 Cent called Hands UP. I no its kinda old but its still awesome

I think that song is hot G.O.A.T.
