i know my hip hop. i have all Jedi mind trick albums. Vinnie Paz is WACK. he went from Ikon the HOlogram to a crappy mc alias like Vinnie Paz. his lyrics are garbage. but Jus Allah was SICK! too bad he left the group. but his album is coming out in 05', so this should be a great year. DJ Stoupe has sick beats. Without Stoupe, JMT would be terrible.
Mos Def fell off, his last album was terrible compared to Both Sides of the Brain
Talib Kweli, last album was terrible compared to Quality, and Ethernal...
Pac and Big were overrated as MC's, but they were good. The Game is garbage. Big Daddy Kane is a legend. DMX is terrible.
my opinions, your opinions
but it is a FACT that Eminem copied his style from Masta Ace and CHino XL
he even said "thanks Masta Ace" at the VMA's. i was laughing my ass off 😛
also no one respects Juice when he destroyed Eminem in 97'.
he should have gone big after that battle.
well just slowly got into underground, started out with BLack Star. I'll listen to any kind of rap, just as long as it aint about stupid shit, like sometimes, Eminem raps about. I like Ludacris, because his songs are pretty original, especially his music videos. Chingy, eh not a big fan of. Scarface is pretty ill', like the wholesome little song "On My Block". Clipse, is also pretty good. I like LL COOL J also, but not his new tracks. I guess I really don't like "gangsta" rap anymore, it just slowly died out. But Snoop will always keep it real in that area.
