    The Game is garbage. Nas is the best in the game right now. Followed by Jay-Z.

    I can understand how Game can be annoying, but I think he's far from garbage...as of right now I'd say Game > Jay Z.

    I meant more annoying because of his name-dropping scheme he has on every track.

    Thanks.

    As for de la Rocha, he's been doing a lot of collaborations. He doesn't produce his own material anymore, but technically, he's still "in the game."

    According to wikipedia, the latest thing he's up to is a 'Save The Farm' rally for South Central Farmers, where he had some new rhymes about the government's response to Hurricane Katrina.

    Lupe doesn't have enough material to be called the best yet, and no he doesn't write for Kanye West, Carter.

    It's Nas....

    How? The only strong point Game has is his delivery. Where is his wordplay, concepts? All he does is name drop and he is not better than Jay any day of the week. Wayne's random punchlines in songs>Game's pointless name dropping in songs.

    "The game" has been over for several years. Sad how the best rappers of today are Common, Lupe Fiasco, and GFK, not that they are bad musicians but compared to the besst hip hop artists from 80's to early 2000's they're very average.

    The Golden Age of Hip Hop is the early 90's, and thats when Ghostface was most prominent, so I don't know what your talking about because he has been tight and been around. Also Lupe just released his first album so how can you compare him to somebody who dropped in the 80s? Common has also been around as well.
