You think with your emotions and it's really gay.

It's okay for Nas and Dre to have completely fabricated their criminal pasts because they're the "eyes of the ghetto" and they "understand the streets"

Rick Ross crosses lines of authenticity and artistry that Nas and Dr. Dre NEVER VIOLATE. Period.Gyangsta 4 Life wrote:Mindbender Futurama wrote:Yeah, lots of these guys are exaggerating things.

It's okay for Nas and Dre to have completely fabricated their criminal pasts because they're the "eyes of the ghetto" and they "understand the streets"but Rick Ross is somehow judged by a different standard of authenticity?
Nas never said "I know Escobar... THE REAL ESCOBAR/ I killed Benazir Bhutto in broad day and escaped without a weapons charge"
but whatever, you're from Miami. G'head and listen to Rick Ross. His beats are hot, sure. Just don't try to tell me he's a legend or none of that shit. Dude will be out of the rap game within 2 albums while Nas is still educating the world and evolving hip hop's history with each album he makes.
the Marley family is not inviting Rick Ross to make an album with them. peace to Nasir Jones.
LIKE I SAID: you can fool some of the people some of the time... - Bob Marley

Nas is also a kilo of coke and a Gemstar razor blade across a baby's throat.

For most popular artists I don't like, I can at least take a step back and say "I'm not really too into these things that people like about them, but I guess I can understand what people like about them if they like stuff like that."
Figure this thread can be good for shit talking and infighting.

#1 for me is Andre Nikitina. Dude sounds painfully uncomfortable going on awkward monosyllabic rants, and his flow has even gotten cornier over the last 20 years. Even for people who like nerdy bay area yay rap, he sounds like a b-list myspace rapper, and being around for so long is the only thing that keeps him from being compared to a black, bay area version of The Trademark Experience. I honestly don't fucking get it.
Popular artists?? Nickatina? Since when has he been popular (even on the WC)
off topic I actually like Dre Dog....
