    I really hope your kidding, every person you just named are all some of the worst of all time, no joke. But then again... who wants to here it from me? I hate just about 95% of all rappers because most of the stuff they put out is complete crap. I only like about 6 or 7 max. Hell, I'm even disapointed about Nas' new album, I'm very picky about rap.

    Em has a lot of talent, he is just bored with the game I think. Many true hip hop heads would consider MMLP and SSLP classics. If he could rediscover his hunger, he would still be a top dog in the game, but when he is on top of his game he is hard to beat.

    Every great rapper buts out a bad album, Nas has had a couple of bad albums, same with Jay and others..

    The new Xzibit cd is pretty good, his flow on the second verse of "LAX" is amazing...

    come on now? 50 cent is a complete joke, and if you have hear any of snoop dog on any of his past albums, you'd know he has the lyrical skills of a frog. People have to stop judging rappers by how "hot" their beats are and really look more into what, if any, type of skill they had to use to write their lyrics. For me, I like long, complicated verses that actually make sense. I'm not into metaphors really, more into story telling or current issues rap - stuff that generally requires a brain to write it up. By that, I'm only pointing out examples and branches of rap, I'm sure there could be intelligent metaphor rap, but I have yet to see it.

    50 Cent has an amazing flow, but other than that...his verses are very simplistic, now a days they are all about the same thing, he really brings nothing to the table. If you like beats then go listen to Lil Jon, but all his crap sounds the same.

    I agree with Franchise on the complicated verses thing, I dont like Canibus but some of his verses are just simply jaw dropping...

    Thought I would post this because there are a lot of people wondering why 50 is still beefing with Murder INC...I would be too if this is true...

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">1. Shocking revelations behind the 50 Cent/Murder Inc. feud.
    However, the streets are buzzing with compelling new information about the Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff connection to The Inc that could explain why 50 Cent won't let go of the grudge. The issue of whether Supreme's drug money funded Murder Inc is under scrutiny by the Feds and several indictments have been made in connection with this investigation. Supreme is also said to have been directly responsible for ordering the attempt on 50 Cent in 2000. But word is that off the record witnesses in 50's old neighborhood say Kenneth McGriff is also directly responsible for the murder of 50's mother when he was eight years old. This possibility is what may be fueling 50's relentless grudge against Irv, Ja Rule and The Inc.</div>
