In that case:

Ghost
Doom
Cam'ron
Kanye
Jay Electronica

That's based on rap, rap, rapping alone. If you account for songwriting, Kanye and Jay Electronica move ahead of Cam.

I agree with my ru Tweak that Burn After Reading is better than The Big Lebowski (albeit not by that much). Trademark: I know you're joking but why would Burn not deserve a deeper reading like most of the other Coen movies? The only thing I've said about it is that it fits in with Matt Zoller Seitz'...

Apparently Benning and White are cool and he had great things to say about the speech she made at the ceremony. http://www.nypress.com/imgs/hed/art22053nar.jpg http://www.nypress.com/article-22053-indecent-exposure.html Annette Bening's sincere, intelligent speech at last week's New York Film Critic...

^^^ Yeah, the reason why Nolan's been able to resurrect the Batman franchise is because of his ability to create a dark, gritty atmosphere and employ a great ensemble of actors. You give the past two Batman scripts to Joel Schumacher with a cast of actors on the level of Chris O'Donnell and Arnold a...

Need to see Scott Pilgrim, Restrepo, Black Swan, Waiting for Superman, Inside Job, The American, and some other stuff before making a list. So far it's:

1)Winter's Bone
2)True Grit
3)Social Network
4)The Fighter
5)Toy Story 3
6)The Town
7)Machete

I know this is an old post, but I can't resist. Dude, THIS post is fuuuuucking hysterical. I never really pay attention to your posts, but wow all the hype makes sense now. I had to remember my password to be able to type this. Took 5 minutes. I have had Waka's album in my car's cd player for over ...

This is based off the 10 minute rant he went on about "fat chicks" in which he tried to do the whole "aw shucks...I'm being a dick, but I'm right" thing that Louis CK does, but without Louis CK's delivery, wit, or lack of annoying corny pet phrases like "I'm just having a go!" I have no problem with...

I was being serious. I know that Waka hasn't been deemed to be "deep" by the cognoscenti, so any attempt to look at his work in a critical fashion should be scoffed at though. Chortle away.

LOL at that tool walking around stage with a mic like he's doing an infomercial or a self help conference. He's like Louis CK, but without the delivery and without the ability to say controversial shit without coming off like a total dickhead.

"I'm just having a go!" SMH. Douche.

Brilliant retort, bro!

Fuck it. I'll make the claim that Waka is more than just entertaining and indeed has some "soul": Prime example is this song. <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/J86GAN2zx10?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><pa...

If you judge him strictly as a MC, I can see why you would say that. But if you just judge him as a pop artist, he's pretty good. He's responsible for some really good singles over the years.

I think the whole premise of having a psychologist diagnose him as insane because he thought he could go this far in life was pretty cool and a nice literary devise. I also like how he shifts from the past to the present and then back to the past to have the psychologist skeptically recount Jay's n...

Yeah. I can see saying that about someone like Wiz Khalifa, but Curren$y's appeal is how he can breath life into retread subject matter through his unique turns of phrase, his use of an almost unmatched lexicon, and his effortless flow. He could talk about the same car for four songs straight and st...

First single, produced by Lex Luger. Scheduled to drop 1/11/11. Official artwork is and .

I agree wholeheartedly with that one critic's reading of the Monster video and most of that article actually.

It's still a top 3 album of the year and Kanye's underrated as an MC (on here at least).

I said it was "bad ass," because he's making a song that's an ode to DC. You inferred something else from the statement and started into a rant that made no sense. Back on topic, SMH at K Street Lounge. Did they edit out all the frat boys from Fairfax who overrun that place after the bars in Clarend...

You're compltely out of touch if you live in the area and didn't know about the Redskins vs. Cowboys rivalry in DC and there's a good portion of Cowboys fans around the way. If anything, its a very realistic fact about DC he's bringing up in the video. And I know that very intersection of where tha...

It's bad ass how he's wearing that Cowboys jacket in a video for a song repping DC.

So since I thought No Country For Old Men was a masterpiece on first viewing does that make me an absolute genius, and master of all film language?

Touche.

They might all feature "wiggas," but James Toback and Larry Clark come with some interesting observations about race and class in their movies. Black and White is an ambitious trainwreck and has some great moments that challenge the viewer; Bully is simply a really good movie, imo. Bully, at least, ...
