Just listened to Lupe's new album.

He is so damn good
How does it rate amongst Lasers and FLII? As both were major levels below his debut and sophomore albums. It seemed like his style completely changed after The Cool.
 
Just listened to No role models by J Cole, it was very good. Can some of you guys give me your top 3-5 J Cole songs??

I know you said 3-5 but feck it i couldn't touch that list, In the Morning is the perfect song too, all his hits as a matter of fact.

:lol: any top 50 list that has beans above jada should be completely ignored, they obviously know nothing

:lol: DMX and Queen Latifah too, im only at number 41, just how much worse can this get?

Jada is an amazing rapper but what probably hurts him is the fact that he's never put out a classic album. All of those other artists have, including Beanie Sigel, but yea Jada should be above him still.

Wow....and they know nothing! Jada never put a classic album out. Style's a Gangster and a gentleman is the best solo project a member of the Lox has ever recorded. Beanie's the Truth was very well recieved by critics and fans. Its a below the radar classic. I don't get the Queen Latifah laughs either, all those artists have put out better albums/more critically acclaimed albums than Jadakiss. Kiss da game goodbye and Kiss of death don't even belong on a top 500 hiphop albums of all time list IMO.

It wasnt a run down of the top 50 mc's who have put out better or more critically acclaimed albums, it was the 50 best

Whether or not either of his two albums are classics is irrelevent in my opinion, hes a better rapper than everyone i posted

Better than X and Latifah in their primes?

I thought it was about the album list, so I amended my post. Going by all the merits they've listed when arriving at the names on the list i'd still say DMX and Queen Latifah have Jada beat. Beans doesn't and a lot of others on the list also don't. Its a poor list tbh.
 
Average rapper,Looks like Asap Yams and Bronson's lovechild? nice flow but copies other rappers and switches up his style a lot ?

Yep thats the one.

His album was a lot better than I was expecting, I like it a lot.

The rapper not the movie, I should've been specific.... now I wanna watch Belly.

Did you watch it? The soundtrack is great too. It was directed by Hype Williams, his first full length movie after changing the rap video game in mid to late 90s.



@Loublaze

I will start it up again in October when I go back to University, busy on placement at the moment.

No doubt
 
Best live performers?
I'd imagine Kanye Would probably be right up there.

I've seen a fair few live rap acts in the past and thought Kanye's Glow In The Dark Tour and also the Watch The Throne one with Jay were the best I've seen.
 
The Roots are the best hip hop act I've seen live by a landslide. Obviously it helps that they're a band but noone can beat Black Thought rap live.
 
Kind of happy he hasn't dropped it - i don't want to be disappointed.
The only reason I'm not getting depressed over it is cos I'm still spinning Dr Dre's Compton on loop....feckin epic!
Rather have it when I'm bored of this...
 
really? i thought, for a dre album, it was meh. Medicine man and Genocide were the only two songs I liked.

Talk About It - wow
All In A Day's Work
Loose Cannons
One Shot One Kill
Satisfiction
Medicine Man

my standout tracks

and ofcourse Just Another Day - The Game :drool: :drool:
 
Too many to name, if fecking Jadakiss, Redman, Ghostface Killa and Queen feckin Latifa can get onto the list, I'm sure there's space for him...

:lol:
You're kidding right?

Jada actually needs to be closer to the top 20 than 50. It's a poor list, in terms of it's order, not because The Game isn't on it.

So it's correct for The Game not be even in the top 50?!
Laughable to me...
