Yeah, that's a great album. "On My Block" gives me an almost overwhelming urge to sit outside with a brew and blow some pine.Originally Posted by Edward Appleby

I got it made...
As for Nas being the successor to Rakim...hmmm. Although he's had some great moments and is still going strong after so many years, I'm hard-pressed to see how anything he's done has, on the whole, surpsassed Illmatic. And at that time, although heralded, he was not the second coming of Rakim.

Not sure anything anyone has made since has surpassed Illmatic, Nas is definatly Rakim heir and overall I say superior.

LL has fallen off, IMO.Originally Posted by scnupe7
Yeah, hasn't really found his niche, he is at times hard, then he is a ladies man, then he is old school, then he is new and usually they all suck.
I'd say Nas owes more to Kool G. Rap than Rakim.Originally Posted by binge
It's a Demo with DJ Polo is still BANANAS!!!
"People in the audience Kool G Rap is my name
I write rhymes and I insert 'em inside your brain"
BTW, can someone please explain Sage Francis to me. I am not a big underground rap guy but I "get" guys like MF Doom/Madvillain but what is the appeal of Francis ?
