Not sure if i like him yet, but....</div> C+ He's alright, but he bites too much from Kanye and Lupe. Their style is way too evident in his. Next up... Gang Starr - Full Clip Invalid Video Link
A++ This is argubally my most favourite song of all time, love everything about it, sick delivery, production, just a genuine sick song. Invalid Video Link
B- It's an okay song but it just doesn't stick out to me. Just seems a bit boring of a song.... El P - "Flyentology" Invalid Video Link
B- It was a pretty catchy song but it's Will Smith. The guy should just stick to acting...... Tech Nine - "Riotmaker" It's #4 on the player, so you gotta click on it.
D I've never been a fan of rap music with rock to it, they steal talented music and disgrace it. The flow was nice though Will Smith - Tell Me Why Invalid Video Link Who says you can't make good hip hop without curse words?
<div class="quote_poster">Mamba Wrote</div><div class="quote_post"> Will Smith - Tell Me Why</div> B I'm not a big fan of Will Smith, but that wasn't bad. It was much better than pop rap garbage he was putting out for a while. Simple rhymes and flow, but he had thoughtful, honest lyrics. And it never hurts to have Mary J's voice on a track. Xzibit ft. Eminem - Don't Approach Me Invalid Video Link
D Haha, I love it when these guys try to act hardcore. There's nothing less intimidating than Eminem and Xzibit. Their vocals really don't mix either. Xzibit's got a dark, raspy voice, but Eminem's is high and squeally. Serious question: Do you guys actually listen to this stuff? I just don't understand how anyone can enjoy this stuff on any level other than just blairing loud music in their car or something like that. It's just hard to listen to. To each his own though.

<div class="quote_poster">MrJ Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">What do you mean? Eminem & X, harcore rap, or rap music in general?</div> That particular song. Some hardcore rap is okay (I'm a huge David Banner fan...), but that was just obnoxious, imo.

I thought it was different than the standard "I'm a rich thug from the ghetto" song. It was more X and Em bashing on annoying things that came with their fame (obnoxious fans, reporters, golddiggers, etc.).

Most of us are busting our asses in nine to fives, and they're bitching and moaning about the most minute negative aspects of their plush lives. Besides, in the song, both of them try to come off as intimidating, which frankly, they're not. And even if they were, who wants to be intimidated through music? I can see music getting you pumped up, but wouldn't you have to be in a position like theirs to get pumped by this music... like be a rich rap star bugged by the paparazzi?

I don't consider it some sort of classic or anything, but I like they way they just let out their frustration on the track. It had a good beat and clever, well-thought out lines. I guess its just a difference in taste. Anyways, I don't think anyone rated your recommendation: BTNH - The Weed Song C Not my favourite Bone Thugs song. Its relaxing as hell to listen to, but the lyrics just drone on and don't really stand out at all. Public Enemy - Son of a Bush Invalid Video Link

I'm not saying that they have to pretend to be anything though, yet at the same time, there are tons of things to write about without having to go on such an annoying topic like the paparazzi.

<div class="quote_poster">Blur Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Like weed and sex? I see your point...</div> Those are relatable topics. That's everyday life. The paparazzi isn't. I don't see yours... As for the song, I'll throw it a B. I like the message behind the lyrics, but I'm not sure if he chose the right words for that message. New Song: Invalid Video Link
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting A.F. Venom:</div><div class="quote_post">Xzibit: X</div> C- I'm a big Xzibit fan, but this is one of his songs that you can't really appreciate at a deep level. Its got an nice sounding beat, what with the piano in the background. But, despite the clever lyrics and one-liners, its just built to be a catchy single. Sticking with the whole Xzibit theme, here's one of my favourites: Xzibit - The Foundation Invalid Video Link
