are there any rap cliches that should stay around? Yes, I still like listening to rappers rap about how they're better at rapping than other rappers. Since pretty much every rapper ever has done some of this, it is very hard to be original/impressive, so I see it as kind of a benchmark. * :megaman:...

Rhyming party with Bacardi and trigga with nigga. People are still doing this.

Songs whose whole concept is stringing together a bunch of names of old school rappers together to show how True School the MC is.

Rhymes that end end with a basketball player. "Ball hard like Kobe etc."

Name another rapper from Slick Rick's era that recent evidence shows could drop a great album in 2012.
Not KRS
Not Rakim
Not Kane
Not Kool G Rap

Rick has aged more gracefully than any of them.

I think they both came correct on this one. I liked that Apathy primo beat too. The Evidence one was a little tepid for my tastes.

I can't remember the last good G Rap song I heard. I listened to On The Rise Again and didnt like it. I figured if he can't sound good over a premier beat that's a bad sign. Can someone post his best recent verse?

Why is this the new norm? Does anyone else hate it? I kind of stopped paying attention to the battling circuit for a few years and just spent yesterday watching a bunch of Grind Time battles.
