Q-tip could have been considered a musical genius on some Rick Rubin/Jon Brion shit if he would put down the mic after Amplified and just produced. Big Sean is not going to help the quality of his music.

Oh shit, I was trying to remember this dudes name two days ago. He was always nice.

The Score is a fucking psychedelic masterpiece. That shits like a rap Great Society. Plus Its funny to think of the something like 8 million people who picked it up for a r&b cover, got home, and got all disappointed to find out they got that weird shit. It Was Written is kinda dope.

The resurrection was my shit. Whoever the dude who had the first verse on "blind leading the blind" is, that motherfucker was amazing. Plus this album is single handedly responsible for me saying motherfucker so much.

Was never a big fan of the song but that's a pretty good video.

I can't believe some of ya'll are debating the origin of this kid's style. He's like the antithesis of style. He sounds like every other person who can't rap.

He's pretty dope.

The fucking New Kids On The Block made more money last year than Kanye did. Kanye is just 1 person and I'm pretty sure New Kids are at least 5. What's your point? I hope that was a joke. It means he doesn't have to split his checks in five ways. I hope your post was a joke. This list has to do with...

No joke but I started liking this the moment I stopped watching the video.

No, Scar.

I've never really dug Killer Mike or El-p but this shit sounds like they were meant for each other.

Most hyped "indie" rappers right now Danny Brown, Action Bronson, Curren$y, Lil B, Odd Future, Mr eXquire, Roc Marciano, Kendrick Lamar, Blu, ASAP Rocky, Das Racist... The closest thing to a "nerd rapper" in there is Blu...I'm gonna need some convincing here. Excluding one or two... those are most ...

You forgot headspinned on linoleum.

Do any of you listen to the radio? All the time, why? My question was addressed towards those commenting on Busta Rhymes. I don't see how you can listen to his verses on "Look At Me Now," the "Welcome To My Hood" remix, the Ace Hood song, even the "Motivation" remix, etc. and think that he's wack. ...

Yeah I don't get it either. Actually saying I don't get it is giving it too much credit. This shit isn't good.

I'm not sure how you can dig his Trey Songs lite singing shit but think his rapping is sub-par?

That last mos def album is pretty shitty.

Philaflava wrote:The difference between J Cole and Charles Hamilton at this point is a Jay-Z co-sign.

That's crazy. The difference between them is that only one of them can rap.

definitely some questionable names on that list but papoose? fucking l-o-l Not liking him is fair enough but you cant deny that after signing a million dollar deal with jive and getting features and co-signs all over the place he shouldve blown up. That's more of an example of just how wack he was/...

10 Reasons Why Childish Gambino Is Better Than Drake 10. Because he does Drake better than Drake and doesnג€™t even need auto-tune. 9. Because he has been rapping waaaaaaaaaay longer than he was doing sitcoms (like Drake). 8. Because he dropped his first album in 2008, while Drake dropped his in 20...

You know, it's really hard to answer your question when you posted all the shitty artists that are doing this multi-genre albums. kid cudi - lame kanye - lame bob - lame as fuck drake - lame king lupe - lame nicki - lame dr dre - ROFL You'd think that I didn't like multi genre albums based off this...
