yea I was lit off my ass during my last post, surprised I could function my computer

anyways, law school is about to get going again so I won't be posting too frequently but the point of my last post was to mention how illmatic was my no 1 all time album and only built for cuban linx was 2...prolly have hell on earth (I know infamous is more popular), ready to die and 7 day theory to round out the top 5...illadelph halflife, reasonable doubt, me against the world, follow the leader and one other (maybe daddy kane, nwa or someone) for the rest of my top 10

my point was that even if you love wayne you should take the time out to check some of the 90s era music because there was an insane amount of legendary records produced (especially btw/94-96) I myself didn't fully appreciate alot of this music until years after it was released.

Would also like to mention that for any of the new generations looking to "hang their hat" on a rapper from this era (maybe realize that weezy isn't even at the top of his class, I know shocking), my top 2 so far this decade are no.1 Lupe Fiasco and no.2 Joe Budden. I know alot of ppl attach Lupe to a skateboard rapper but his double (and even triple) metaphors are so ridiculous that it was said about his first album and I quote "similiar to nas' illmatic, lupe is so far ahead of his time that it will take the majority of current listeners years to catch on". For example, in the track Failure, Lupe says "had to get my walk to properly explain my talk/cuz this lack in talk had my walk lookin off/ now im over the limp, watch how they mugs drop when they see my verbals able (thats the usual)/ when I was PO/ I was LO/ now me and my CHAPS rock PURPLE LABEL"

-if you see the usual suspects (hence the words thats the usual) there was a character named verbal who walked with a limp and when found out about the cop dropped his mug...plus the polo, chaps, purple label clothing 'phor

as for budden...check out mood musik 1 and 2 if you havent, they are classic mixtapes...or just see dumb out (2006 track of the yr by far), 3 sides to a story (maybe top 5 storytelling track of all time-great when stoned), 10 minutes and if i die tmrw to get a feel



dont smoke during school so this board will serve as little purpose to me but will check back b/c I like to see how the conversation will evolve...stay light up peoples

Joe Paterno Reviewed by Joe Paterno on . Jay-Z Vs. Lil Wayne Just curious to get some views on the hov vs weezy debate and to share mine. I think that they aren't comparable because Jay-Z's lyrics don't make you rewind the track but they make you think and they mean something. When Jay-Z raps he tells a story, and it makes sense and has a message. When Lil Wayne raps its to other peoples beats but he does it well, he's more of a freestyler. Weezy's lyrics rhyme and make you laugh and provide good entertainment but they don't convey a general Rating: 5
