    I'm starting to like Chamillionaire, he still has little exposure here in the England.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting MrJ:</div><div class="quote_post">Why does everyone like Chamillionaire so much?
    I can't stand these new rappers out now.</div>

    He's one of the best in the South. Most of the rappers in the South are too commercial and are "crunk." Chamillionaire is different and currently one of the best out right now.

    Never fails, these treads turn into "Omgz, you like that guy, he suxs". Just like define your favorite NBA player, it should never be critized that you like him (unless for fun).. the debate comes in when talking about accomplishment, skills, ect ect.

    Anyways for fun, my list. (In no order)

    Nas
    Az
    Cormega
    Tupac
    Notorious BIG
    Canibus
    Rakim (I still havn't heard all of his work, but to an extent, enjoy what I have listened to.)
    Jadakiss
    Common
    Mos Def
    Outkast (More so older stuff, some of their newer stuff just doesn't meet my fancy)

    .. I am forgetting some.

    I think I've posted this here before, but honestly everyone needs to do a little research on Greedy Irish.

    www.myspace.com/greedyirish

    Also if you have iTunes you can search for him and preview/purchase his second album. Kid's the truth.

    Not sure what you haven't heard, but Follow The Leader and Paid In Full are my personal favorites......18th Letter, Don't Sweat The Technique, and Let The Rhythm Hit Em are all damn good also.

    Dr. Dre
    Nas
    Eminem
    Eric B. & Rakim (Paid In Full, Follow the Leader are all I've heard but they are both nice)
    T.I.
    Chamillionaire
    Ice Cube

    That's all I can think of now, I might add some on later.

    Chamillionaire is a better lyricist than a lot of the crunk dudes.
    But that's not saying a lot.
    The other problem is Chamillionaire's flow is WEAK.
    I want to like Chamillionaire but he ain't got it.
    Seeing people mention him in the same sentence as Kweli makes me scratch my head. After you listen to TK, how can you like Cham? That's like screwing Eva Mendes and then screwing Oprah or something.
