Blu - 201 Jay-Z - 121 Nas - 117 J. Cole - 114 Kanye - 114 Lupe - 104

Definitely not as good as F&L and The Cool. Lyrically, it's mostly really good, but the hooks and poppy beats really hurt some songs. I CAN'T STAND the autotune on Beautiful Laser's hook. That said, that song, Letting Go, and Till I Get There are overall very good tracks, and definitely my favorites. I also like Never Forget You, Coming Up, and Show Goes On a good bit. I wish Alex Da Kid's beats weren't terrible or else I'd like Words I Never Said a lot.

And the Taco Bell logo has 666 in it. So the [expletive] what? I guess I can't eat there because I'm supporting an evil cause? Disclaimer: I actually hate Taco Bell anyway.

I'm going to listen later tonight. I've heard that it's basically flawless and the Just Blaze did an incredible job with the production.

"Tater Tot" gave me chills. I also like "So Low". Overall, the production is pretty darn good. Another quality project from Kweli.

It's an album. He put an album last year with producer Hi-Tek (duo is known as Reflection Eternal), this, and he has another album coming later in the year. He's really putting in work.

Yelawolf is absolutely garbage. I'm not much of a Slaughterhouse fan either. I like Budden, and I like a few Royce tracks, but other than that, they're just not my cup of tea.

Jay Elec is definitely in my top 5 rappers doing it, and IMO, he's either number one or two behind Blu. Absolutely love his style, and approach. Plus he gets brownie points for being from Louisiana. Can't wait for Act II. On another note, "Probably the most talented young guy in the game tbh." Uhhh, he's turns 35 this year. Not exactly a young guy when it comes to rappers.

Someone's naive.

True. Well, he seems to run a clean program RELATIVE to what we've seen across the country in recent years. The only two situations that could have brought trouble to the program during his tenure were handled very well by Miles and the program. 1) Ryan Perrilloux & Derrick Odom were kicked off of the team after their fight outside of the nightclub in BR. Though Miles gave Perrilloux at least 3 tries to correct his character and suspended him on more than one occasion, it says a lot about Miles to boot the starting QB off of the team knowing that there was no depth at that position. Perrilloux being kicked off the team definitely cost the team a couple of victories at the very least. 2) Assistant Coach Dave McCarthy was found guilty of paying for JUCO DL Akiem Hicks apartment. LSU took no risks and Hicks wasn't allowed to play a down of football. McCarthy was fired. LSU self-reported it and also put self-imposed sanctions on the program by reducing scholarships and recruiting contact. Obviously every school is guilty of at least a little wrongdoing. However, relative to all of the major violations and major wrongdoing exposed at many top programs around the country, LSU has been very clean in that area. http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/20/2akl6p3.gif You think Miami doesn't do the same stuff? Happens everywhere. And Patrick's brother Avery Johnson will likely be coming here too.

1) LSU is a better job than Miami 2) Extensions mean nothing nowadays. The main thing that matters is the buyout. I heard Patterson's buyout did increase with the extension, but that still doesn't mean LSU won't be willing to pay up, especially since they'd have the buyout money from Les Miles' contract in hand to reroute to TCU if Patterson would choose to take the job. Not saying Patterson will take the LSU job, just saying that just because he turned down Miami's job and signed a new deal doesn't mean he's locked in at that job.
