JYD

True. But he's the first rapper to diss Obama. He's got to be...Lol.

Wouldn't really call him underrated...

Man, that's a great idea...I bet tickets are cheap there lol.

That would suck with no NBA or NFL...lol

Second single off the highly anticipated album, L.A.S.E.R.S. Personally, I love it. But, it's going to very controversial....Lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cv05YDXYb-o

Lol who said that???

It was cool in high school, yeah, but now it's just [expletive]ing gay.

Might as well just an official winter storm thread. We get at least 5 inches of snow every week here....

For some odd reason, I doubt LAC would do that.

Yeah Em and Dre definitely have built a chemistry over the years. Most underrated producer in the game right now for me is araabmuzik

Bryant...

Yeah there are numerous producers better than Dre as Guru listed a few, however, I agree with MV in the sense that most of the time when Dre and Em link up they usually produce some really good stuff.

Yeah...I think he'll still be a good player in 3 years, I just don't think he'll be the games best anymore.

I'd say Kobe Bryant for two reasons... -He's played at a higher level longer than all of them. Obviously all the guys listed are very good, or great players, but Kobe is one of the best to ever play the game...So, he's probably the one to have the earliest fall from greatness just because we are so used to seeing him dominate and take over games. -His knees. I remember him saying earlier in the year his knee was only at like 60%? That's pretty rough. With all the nagging knee injuries this guy has had, I see him breaking down earlier than the other guys. But more because of reason 1^...because we are so used to seeing him as being so great...he'll probably be the one who takes the biggest turn soon.

I love Stephen A. Smith. Dude is entertaining, hilarious, and knows a good amount as well. Listen to what he said in that video Kingfish posted...he's completely right about all of it.

Yeah well the production on Recovery was definitely a lot better...I'll be completely real here I didn't listen to as much of Relapse as I did Recovery...I probably never gave Relapse too fair of a chance. Haha. I love how this topic about Wiz's new single turned into a discussion about Em.... Always seems to come back to the greats huh haha

Yeah pretty much agree with that...Renegade is definitely one of my favorite tracks. Everyone always says Em killed Jay on that track, but Idk, Jay's verse is pretty damn good. I absolutely love that song...and that album (The Blueprint) is actually my favorite rap album of all time. Well, I think it's pretty obvious Recovery was better. Although, I'll admit, I didn't really love either one, Recovery was a real solid album though for sure.

He's still considered black...

yeah that third one with AK was ridiculous. can't believe the ref bought it. but i agree mostly with RD's list. Flopping is a funny part of the game (frustrating if it goes against your team tho lol)

Yeah....unfortunately, that song was ruined by 50 cent....but the meaning of the song is true. (Rumors had it Jay-Z was ghostwritin for Dre back in the day lol i always wondered if it were true but anyway...) Yeah if you want to say Eminem is better than Jay-Z from a lyrical standpoint and as an MC, I can't argue that too much. That's more musical preference, style, delivery, etc. Eminem truly has put out some great [expletive] and I respect that. Hell, even Kanye (who supposedly hates white people according to every white person i know LOL) said Em's the GOAT. But I just think Jay-Z reached so many different people. Personally, I like Jay-Z's music more but it's apples to oranges when you're comparing two of the obvious greats to ever do it.

Yeah because look at who runs these radio stations and corporations. Most middle aged white men and they play all the [expletive]ty music on the radio. The stuff that will sell the most. They are the ones in charge. So what makes it to the radio and what people hear the most? The gangsta [expletive]...money, sex, drugs...sad but true. That's why to be a great MC you gotta be able to put a radio banger and keep it real lyrical. that's why jay-z is my favorite artist. no one did that better than jay. But yeah man it sucks that the real lyrical stuff doesn't get recognized. But you know how it is...everyone loves a catchy hook and a nice beat..

For rookies, I'd say Landry Fields. In general, it's almost impossible to say. I mean...you'd have to watch a TON of all the NBA teams and players. Because this is something you can't really statistically measure. It's something you have to see on a consistent basis.

Yeah lyrics are nice for sure.... sadly I think I enjoy reading them more than actually listening to them!

Dude isn't bad I just can't get over the british accent to be fair lol. Lyrically it's not even bad.
