The doctor?
Nice, thanks. Shall have to give him a look. Anyone that raps about skateboards and dinosaurs is ok by me.
Doesn’t write his own lyrics. So that’s why I questioned it.
I know he's been ghosted for years but he's the face of so many classics and was so influential in the scene that he's a must have for me.
nas album banger
eminem ruined that track, automatic skip

I agree, the album on the whole is brilliant, the beats and flow go so well together.
Eminem did ruin that track, I just wouldn't ever think he'd go well on a Nas track.
Who is looking for an Em verse in 2021? He's a lyrical miracle rap fast rapper these days.
Say it louder.
Problem is Eminem fans won't accept his style changing because they (stereotyping) only like one style of rap.
I'm glad Nas doesn't have these problems
I think it's just jarring to hear him in a Nas track. It's not a classic verse but it is what it is. Doesn't help that the track uses the same beat as EPMD 1.
My main beef with it is that he puts Drake in the higher echelon of rappers that he wants to be equal to.

His next album will be his last with TDE, not a huge surprise - I think we even discussed that TDE's growth and handling of its biggest stars have been haphazard a few pages back.
Wonder where his next venture beyond that will be though, he seems too introspective of a personality to be expressive enough to run his own label.
Maybe he'll go independent? I can see that, owning his masters, having complete artistic control etc. moreso than him joining another label.
Or maybe he'll flat out retire? I can see that too tbh
Can’t wait
Yes to new Kendrick!
Finally! Hopefully there’s not a long wait until the release.
Saw the news and went on a run of songs from Kendrick going back to Overly Dedicated...
One of the few artists from this era with a legitimate claim to being the GOAT

Favourite song on Overly dedicated?
Mine is The Heart part 2, close runners up are: growing apart, cut you off & she needs me
I’ve always loved Ignorance Is Bliss.
That’s a great shout! Honestly except maybe 2 songs, the tape is excellent front to back
She Loves Me (only because I'm a fan of Dom and Murs as well)
The Heart series is excellent though
Why bizarre?
Yeah Dom is underrated, and I got into Murs because of that song.
Now I feel like adding some Dom tapes to my iTunes.
None of you rate J. Cole?
I do but he’s not at the level he was imo. Forest Hills Drive was the peak. I find myself not really going back to The Off-Season that much.
I didn't have you down as an Olly Murs fan
Of course, it was a shambles when he didn't win x factor.
Massively do. Been following him since The Warm Up.
From The Westside With Love, and Get Home Safely
I pretend he passed away after the latter, and reincarnated as Larry June
Where to begin? 
Where to begin?
Nas, Kendrick, Kanye or outkast for me depending on the day, my mood etc. Today I’ll choose Kanye.
Who would you remove to make space?
Eminem or Kanye.
Tupac for me. Me against the world and the Makaveli album are his finest works. With the iconic All Eyez On Me sandwiching in between.
OutKast and The Roots for me, in terms of sheer consistency. Do You Want More!?, Illadelph Halflife and Things Falls Apart is quite a run.
Agree with this, they are all 3 completely different themes too. Pac using unknown producers for one of them and still creating a classic is the cherry on top.
Where to begin?
On that list Nas, Kendrick and Outlast. Not on the list Ice Cube's first three albums were all classic
I feel like Tyler’s run of Flower Boy, Igor and CMIYGL deserve a mention but he doesn’t seem to be rated much on here.
Against those greats? I don't think so. Plus there's a few big omissions too.
I like Tyler but some of those runs include the best hip-hop albums ever, and I just don't think he has that - but he does have a very consistent catalogue and has arguably the best career out of rappers from his class of rappers that came after drake/kendrick/cole, but i'd have to think about that further.
But you're right, I don't think he's rated on here, if Jay-z can barely get respect I doubt Tyler would get much
