Hip Hop Yo

He was NOT a lyricist.

and Game is one of the worst mc's out there.

Not a lyricist how? Tupac wrote his own shit didn't he?

no he wrote his own lyrics

but he didn't have the highest lyrical skills.

Oh. Confused me there for a second. Yeah Tupac wasn't an incredible lyricist like people say. He was an incredible performer, but his lyrics and rhyme schemes and shit were simple for the most part.

I've never really understood the appeal of Tupac or Biggie.

Neither have I.

Oh Biggie is great fun to listen to in the same loud, shallow kind of party way as Cypress Hill. I have two of his albums, but I couldn't quote you a single verse of his lyrics, but like I said, he's fun.

Tupac is appealing in the same way as Kurt Cobain; since his death he's become a godlike figure. I don't like him, though.

Why not Deathblow

Biggie is one of the best MC's ever, given the small amount of time he had. He never tried to be anything he wasn't, so what he rapped about is what he lived. The man was selling crack, not going to poetry slams. His voice/cadence/flow is one of the best ever. Nobody around right now has the flow Biggie had. Even these knock off Biggie's.

The only thing that ****ed him up was Puffy's hip-pop influence, which made Biggie seem like he was among the hip-pop acts of his day, but he was much more than that.

I agree with Deathblow... he was fun to listen to. I used to hate biggie because everyone I know worships him and I don't think he's as good as they say but I admit he has good flow and is fun to listen to.

always loved his flow^

sucks that Jay-z bites soo much off B.i.g and people deny it.

on a side note!

anyone seen this MF Doom interview, i heard its crazy

IT DOESN"T WORK FOR ME!

Jay-Z bites so much it's unbelievable.. not only biggie either. I've never met anyone who denied it.. just people who say stuff like "he's just showing respect." I mean I know all rappers bite off eachother from time to time but Jay'z made a career out of it.

he even took a rhyme off Nas...NAS! his enemy! 😆

pure comedy

😂 I know.

That link don't work for me either.

I used to hate hiphop until I joined KMC and always heard everyone talking about Immortal Technique and MF Doom and all these other underground artists...after hearing them I loved it ✅

I think Method Man has and has had the best flow in Mainstream Hiphop (one of the best overall) for the past decade.

That's good that you're open minded like that. 9 out of 10 times when I try to get my friend who like rock on hip hop it doesn't work. The two types of music are just too different for some people.. but I did get one of my friends hooked on Kool Keith from Ultramagnetic MC's. I just told him how he was a mental patient and immediately he was intrigued... lent him sex style and he got hooked. Which is weird cause he mostly likes punk rock like nofx and green day.

Hehe, I'm a rock girl all the way...but I'm open to all sorts of music, I'll listen to anything once.
