I'm really references your overall opinion of Wayne, young people tend to think of him in the way you seem to. While Wayne is a good rapper and highly entertaining, he has never made a perfect verse. He lacks many things especially in regarto ds lyrical ability, what he is good at is one part of lyricism and that is word play. I still say listen to The Diplomats mixtapes from 2002-2005 and you can see where quite a bit of his style of rap comes from. Your opinion on his commercial releases doesn't jive with the general attitude of most rap fans, his albums are clearly for the suburban set, while his mixtapes are "hard".

Maybe the brother likes Olive Garden......we all know half the rap game is soft, that's the reason I laugh at those who think these guys are really in the streets. By definition of hard, there are only a handful who are willing to actually get their hands dirty.... Fab and Lil Wayne are not one of them.

....I'm going to throw 50 cent in their as well for good measure, he's not likely to do anything unless his bodyguards are around.

Even 50's enemies tend to admit he was really a street guy in his younger days.

I'm still not convinced, I would have to see three news articles, confirmation from his grandmother, a rap sheet and a picture of him shooting at minimum 2 people before I believe he was actually street, until then I'll just consider him cul-de-sac.

....Now Beanie Siegal is street/gutter.

I think surviving a beef with Supreme figures high. And this was before he could afford body guards. As Supreme trail proved other rappers had quite a hard time surviving beef with him.
For some reason I tend to beleive any southern rapper, not sure why, but they all seem like they'd body you. Well aside from Luda & Wayne.

While I'm soooooo not the target audience, I've been listening to Mos Def's Black on Both Sides CD a lot in my car recently. It is seriously an amazing CD. A lot of it isn't your typical rap music, and Mos Def took some risk making it, but I think the outcome is a solid album all the way through. I highly recommend it.

Ms. Fat Booty is my favorite track on the album. It's an interesting song, and very well written. I feel like most people can relate to it as well.

Good album and Ms. Fat Booty is my fav on the album as well. "Ass so fat, you can see it from the front"

Clipse featuring Re Up Gang , Group Home , U-N-I, DJ DAS, Plus Guests

Tomorrow at HighLine Ballroom for $20.

NYMag called them the best live hip-hop act in the biz.

I'm still up in the air.

Anyone seen them live?

Nouveau Pauvre · Aug 11, 2008

^ Incredible. Best hip-hop act live I've ever seen.

Including Officer Rick Ross?

There truly is no reason to believe anything rappers say. Maybe a handful were doing half of what they say in songs but otherwise, treat it as any other form of entertainment.

Tourangh · Aug 11, 2008

While were on the topic, Akon, in my opinion tries way to hard to seem "street". Just listen to the lyrics on gangester bop, I seriously lol when I heard it for the first time.

Well I forgot about Ricky..lol Though being a C.O doesn't really preclude you from doing such things. A C.o in CT was arrested for running a drug ring from Jamaica, Arizona to Hartford.

Seeing Clipse Wednesday. I've only heard good things. I'll let you know what I think afterwards.

PARTY · Aug 11, 2008

Yeah, in all honesty, being a C.O. doesn't matter. Rick Ross could still go just as hard on that side of the fence. Actually, there is a lot of power to be wielded in such a position.

Most people would not have cared if he was honest about it. That's the kicker.

IMO Rick shouldn't have denied the rumors, instead he should have played into them...from a PR standpoint he could have said he was either pushing dope into the prison, or that it wasn't enough pay so he quit and started hustling.

Trust me, half the Major Southern rappers are questionable too. Outside of Trickdaddy, Scarface, and few of the New Orleans cats, the majority don't have a rep that stands up. The perfect examples are Young Jeezy and Young Joc, Andre 3000 is more gangsta than these guys.

Yall do have DMX, he seems pretty likely to someday murder a someone.
