The Hip-Hop Thread

HA, thats funny. Seeing most 16 yr olds like that duo. Saying Kanye is bad then pointing out TI is involved with anything good. Thats laughable

[mpmcgraw]

TI is too pop for my tastes, but when he decides to be a rapper his lyrics and speed are pretty impressive. Eminem is the best rapper alive.

Kanye is a great producer. He's an awful rapper and an awful singer.

[mussa]

Eminem is the best rapper alive? Keep watching MTV there bud 

[mpmcgraw]

Yep. It's a toss up between him and John Lennon for best lyricist of all time.

Jay Z is close, but there's something more enamoring about the way Em does it. [igy]Because he's white[/igy]

Are you one of these ding dongs who thinks Wacka Flocka is a great rapper?

[reese125]

I'm torn on deciding who is the best rap analyst between you two.

[mpmcgraw]

I'm 1/6th native american. There you go.

[reese125]

oh that's why you have that avatar over......

[mussa]

thats like saying bruce lee was best martial artist whoever lived. just because they are popular doesn't mean they are the best ever.

[SD]

Yep. It's a toss up between him and John Lennon for best lyricist of all time.

wow

[mpmcgraw]

thats like saying bruce lee was best martial artist whoever lived. just because they are popular doesn't mean they are the best ever.

Right, but music is entirely subjective. Eminem is the best selling solo artist ever, so if there's any evidence at all, it's on my side.

He doesn't have the longevity of Elvis or Jackson, but he's the first person to outsell the Beatles in a decade.

yeah kanye got AWFUL rhymes

Man I promise, she's so self conscious
She has no idea what she's doing in college
That major that she majored in don't make no money
But she won't drop out, her parents will look at her funny
Now, tell me that ain't insecurrre
The concept of school seems so securrre
Sophmore three yearrrs aint picked a careerrr
She like farg it, I'll just stay down herre and do hair
Cause that's enough money to buy her a few pairs of new Airs
Cause her baby daddy don't really care
She's so precious with the peer pressure
Couldn't afford a car so she named her daughter Alexus (a Lexus)
She had hair so long that it looked like weave
Then she cut it all off now she look like Eve
And she be dealing with some issues that you can't believe
Single black female addicted to retail and well

Man I promise, I'm so self conscious
That's why you always see me with at least one of my watches
Rollies and Pasha's done drove me crazy
I can't even pronounce nothing, pass that versace!
Then I spent 400 bucks on this
Just to be like stillupfront's mom you ain't up on this!
And I can't even go to the grocery store
Without some ones thats clean and a shirt with a team
It seems we living the american dream
But the people highest up got the lowest self esteem
The prettiest people do the ugliest things
For the road to riches and diamond rings
We shine because they hate us, floss cause they degrade us
We trying to buy back our 40 acres
And for that paper, look how low we a'stoop
Even if you in a Benz, you still a stillupfront's mom in a coop/coupe


I say farg the police, thats how I treat em
We buy our way out of jail, but we can't buy freedom
We'll buy a lot of clothes when we don't really need em
Things we buy to cover up what's inside
Cause they make us hate ourself and love they wealth
That's why shortys hollering "where the ballas' at?"
Drug dealer buy Jordans, crackhead buy crack
And a white man get paid off of all of that
But I ain't even gon act holier than thou
Cause farg it, I went to Jacob with 25 thou
Before I had a house and I'd do it again
Cause I wanna be on 106 and Park pushing a Benz
I wanna act ballerific like it's all terrific
I got a couple past due bills, I won't get specific
I got a problem with spending before I get it
We all self conscious I'm just the first to admit it

and I'm back to tear it up
haters, start your engines
I hear 'em gearin' up
people talk so much shtein about me at barbershops
they forget to get their haircut
OK fair enough, the streets is flarin' up
'cause they want gun-talk, or I don't wear enough
baggy clothes, Reebok's, or Adidas
can I add that he do spaz out at his shows
so say goodbye to the NAACP award
goodbye to the India.Arie award
they'd rather give me the stillupfront's mom-please award
but I'll just take the I-got-a-lot-of-cheese award


I know that people wouldn't usually rap this
but I got the facts to back this
just last year, Chicago had over 600 caskets
man, killing's some wack shtein
oh, I forgot, 'cept for when stillupfront's moms is rappin'
do you know what it feel like when people is passin'?
he got changed over his chains, a block off Ashland
I need to talk to somebody, pastor
the church want time, so I can't afford to pay
the slip on the door, cause I can't afford to stay
my 15 seconds up, but I got more to say
That's enough Mr. West, please no more today
