Is this restricted to females because Prince had a huge diva complex.

^^^ Proof that attitudes shouldn't matter really.
If Prince having mood swings is enough to stop people liking him, well...

Oh. I don't not like him. Prince is the man. Doesn't change the fact that he knew it and acted like it.

I'm not seeing a problem there.
He is the man, why is it only ok if we say it and believe it? He's extremely introverted and secretive anyway.

Kinda ironic that a thread about diva attitudes would spark one isn't it?

Who's more deserving?? Who actually 1. writes good rhymes 2. raps about things he's actually done 3. Been as consistent
honostly, I'm wondering. I did mine quick, but as far as I can tell, it works pretty well...

Jay-Z's lyrics are nothing but a self-love fest. Now I'm not saying he doesn't have a couple good songs. But his ego far exceeds his talent.

I have to disagree. Gimme the title of one song per album (as many as you can, dont go out of your way) that proves this. Of course he has liines in his songs saying yeah, im great or im the boss, but well, he is great and he is the boss, and its rap. Rappers almost have to make claims like that. It's like a law.
lmao why dont you make one, Femme?

Most deserving? To be honest, those who are actually good don't really have a "diva complex". I guess I like artists who don't really sell that many records. By the mainstream, they aren't good, so they don't end up acquiring that attitude. Hmmm....maybe Common? His songs rarely have that self adoration that I was talking about with Jay-Z, but even when he does, he does it in a much more poetic way than the "I'm the best there ever was" bull shit that so common (ha...see what I did there?) in today's rap scene.
Or maybe 2pac or Biggie. Their music is still being listened to, a decade after their deaths.

Well let's see. Off the top of my head I can think of a couple. "The Originators", "Brooklyn's Finest", "Izzo", "What More Can I Say"...I'd have to go to a list of his songs and probably listen to a couple again to remember. Plus, have you ever heard that "I'm a biter, not a writer" thing? Jay stole so many lines straight from Biggie and various other rappers pretty much word for word. If I can find it online I'll post a link.

He did have a line, repeated, in Dirt off Your Shoulder that says "Best rapper alive.".
