Instead of continuing to go back and forth...let's settle on a common ground. We obviously disagree about the way hip hop should be viewed. We all like hip hop for whatever reason....how do you guys feel about the following...

Biggie, Tupac, Shady, Jay, Nas, Jadakiss, Styles, all of Wu-Tang, Snoop, Game, Redman, Talib Kweli, Common, AZ, Big L, Big Pun, Bone Thugs, Busta, De La Soul, KRS, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, DMX, Ice Cube, Scarface, older Outkast, Tribe Called Quest...just curious? Or have you never even heard of some of them?

Do they all suck because they don't/didn't live the lives they portray? LOL!! I definitely will say Jeezy cracks the top 100 MC's of all time...I'll give him that lol. Dammit...I went negative again...I'm tryna get us to 'discuss' rather than 'argue'...I swear I'm trying but it's hard with people that respect the person rather than the music..

footpaul...I agree...I'm tryna show these kids it's about the music, but they're not getting it...they would rather respect the killer rather than the one who can describe a killing better in music. Everyone DL....Nas - "I Gave You Power", and tell me that's not one of the best songs you've ever heard whether he's lying or not.
