Am I the only one who finds Mos Def to be extremely boring on the mic? He's the rapping equivalent of Lawrence Fishburne's character in Boyz N' The Hood . Now he is, but back when he was making tracks like "Mathmatics," "Mr. Nigga," "Travelling Man," and "Thiefs in the Night" he was anything but bo...

That Mos Def album came out late '99. The answer here is "aquemini" and it's not even close kinda like comparing "one for all" to an Arrested Development album. Fuck Mos Def and fuck the 5 or so dope beats that were wasted on him on that mediocre album. That's one the worst analogies I've ever seen.

Much appreciated, I'm a check this out in a sec.

I wouldn't be surprised if I saw a 5th rounder hold out. I'm not sure I get this. Giants haven't had much in the way of hold out problems. I agree with the Frank Gore comment. He would fit in fine with the Giants. Wouldn't have to carry the full load. I didn't see him on the combine footage. I just...

Whoever picks Jason Campell and Frank Gore in the 2nd and 3rd rounds is gonna be very, very happy...

These scouts are fucking retards.

Well fuck that then.

My bad

<---racist.

They're far more jiggnorant and hedonistic than the Beastie Boys ever were. I know, and that's why it's cool to like them... But their rhyme style is very Beastie Boy-esque..they just talk about different subject matter. And that's not to say they're bad either, cause Ad Rock is dope...I'm just try...

Lyrically, The Beatnuts are like the Puerto Rican Beastie Boys.

People need to calm down.

I don't mean to interupt this nut-slob down memory lane, but saying that JuJu's a genius and that a member of the Beatnuts has the best verse of the past 10 years is ridic-ulous. That verse JBL typed reads like an Big L / Eminem throw away.

Their production is ill and is definatly slept on though...

Hinrich over Wade is the most absurd sports statement I have heard all year. You guys are factoring in Hinrich's defense right, and Wade's lack thereof, correct? Him leading a team at 23-24 years old isn't an easy task as well... And, like I said, in the long run Hinrich will be better because inju...

Hinrich above Wade? Are you fucking kidding me? Please hurl yourself into a canyon of some sort. Talented PG's who can shoot 3's, rebound, pass, run the break, and lock down people on defense are hard to find...athletic 2 guards, however, are not...just ask Ben Gordon, who's gonna be as good as Wad...

Stop sleeping on Elf Power fool...the only player that's better than Hinrich is King James. Hinrich means a lot more to his team than Wade does to his; dude is gonna be right up there with Jason Kidd and Stockton when it's all said and done, mark my words.

1)Lebron
2)Hinrich
3)Wade
4)Bosh
5)Carmelo

I think the Private Press is a much better album; but, because it wasn't Entroducing Part 2, and didn't break any new ground, it didn't get as much press. There's about 3 good songs on Entroducing but overall, I agree, it's overrated. Prefuse 73's Vocal Uprock Narratives is a much better instrumenta...

The only outstanding songs on The Black Album are 99 Problems and Public Service Announcement. Lucifer is OVER-RATED.

Street's Disciple get's my vote; because it can be paired down to a classic album if it had as many tracks as The Black Album.

The Grey Album, however, takes a dump on both of them...

Rhymesayers should have been another option, imo...After signing Doom, they have an ill roster. Doom and Ant on production, and you could rhyme alongside Doom, Slug, and Brother Ali.

I have no idea why people are picking Def Jux...That label has been going down the toilet the last couple of years...

Stones Throw is the obvious choice...

I was torn between Rock Ko.kaine Flow, Figaro, and Run...

Voted for Run for the reasons that Phila listed. RZA off of weed= :shock:
