not sure, i remember everyone on soulseek was talking about him and how he ghostwrites all Wayne's songs.

didn't wayne say he never writes his rhymes, he just thinks them up?

I heard him say this but at least 3 people have come out and claimed to be ghostwriters for him and Baby

bullshit, i think the Block is Hot was his only attempt at making rhymes. i'd rather listen to Kobe then him, and Kob's shit was soo bad they didnt even let him release his album

kobe bryant?

Oh shit, I remember that. I was only eight when his song came out with Joe-- at least I think he did a song with Joe.

Wow did you just say Jay-Z, Wayne, Luda and TI sucks? 😕

True Story:

Volume 1, Reasonable Doubt, Blueprint are all better then any Nas album not named Illmatic (outside of Reasonable Doubt which is better 😛).

And how is a guy who does shows on 106 and Park, movies, goes gold on every album, and gets regular rotation on TV not considered mainstream?

Reasonable Doubt is better than any Nas album, including Illmatic... Reasonable Doubt is just epic.. the production is much better than Illmatic and the songs in general have more focus.. Illmatic is way overhyped.

However that's where Jigga's dopeness ends. The first half of Blueprint flat out sucks.. terrible.. unlistenable, the second half has some dope points like U Don't Know and Renegade but overall it's not powerful enough to redeem the album in general to be hailed as anything better than mediocre. In no way, shape or form is that album better than It Was Written. Not even close. Not even better than Stillmatic.

As for "underground" and "mainstream;" they're labels that shouldn't even be considered when determining the quality of music.

I agree...Reasonable Doubt is a better listen than Illmatic, which is annoyingly lauded as "the best hip hop album ever"...not so I'm afraid. It epitomizes what hip hop used to be and will never be again, but Reasonable Doubt has more replay value for me. But it's all opinions anyway, ya dig?

On another note, I'm dropping a mixtape sometime in December, and I've come across some well versed hip hop heads here that I'd love to review it when it drops. I only have 1 song up on my myspace now, to get a LITTLE idea of my sound. I rap on the second verse by the way.
