Is this not the hardest track out? (Only Rap fans comment)

[TheRumGone]

Reminds me of high school. That, and The Chronic 2001.

Devils Night was a quality album, it just came out at the wrong time. Right before 9/11.

 

 

me and my buddies jam this song on guitar, drums, bass all the time

R.I.P. Nate Dogg. Shame Dre couldn't get the new Chronic album out before his passing.

In regards to deep or storytelling songs, I'm a big Nas fan.

 

Nas is good, yeah. I'm a big Rakim and Pete Rock fan as far as the "classic" stuff goes.

 

Modern day, Lupe was remarkable in his debut & sophomore albums, but has since gone a little crazy. Cudi bends the genre but is underrated IMO, although he has started to pull a bit of a Lupe after his first two as well. Kendrick is arguably the best modern day artist in terms of storytelling and raw emotion and honesty. And then I have a huge thing for Prince Ea, but he's underground and nobody ever knows who he is haha.

I bumped Lupe Fiasco's first two albums for the longest time. After that, ehhhh.

As for Kendrick, I want to see what he brings on his next album before we start anointing him.

2 nerdy white boys trying to talk about rap.

 

 

LMAO!

[Jangler]

For a while I've been trying to figure out of YOLO is a terrible troll or a horrible person.

 

yes, prolly.

[Proudiddy]

White kid with Kendrick Lamar as his avatar is giving a lecture on overrated rappers.....

This thread is a dumpster fire.

I literally LOL'd

Didn't the thread title say '(only rap fans comment)'?

So should it have read, "(only non-white rap fans comment)?"

[TheRed]

YOLO is just a troll account, and a pretty terrible one at that.

No sir not a troll, just a Panthers fan posting on a Panthers message board. I mean am I not good enough to post on the Huddle?

 

We all Panthers fans no need to hate each other.

But Biggie is known for getting gunned down

 

I just jumped into this thread and saw this comment at random. This is beyond stupid, and it shows your age. Biggie was an icon and his killing was a tragedy. He was on top of the game when he died. He didn't become known for being gunned down. 

 

What an idiotic thing to say.

Didn't/don't disagree with anything you just said. I said he's overrated mainly because he was murdered. Besides, his music isn't all that great to begin with. 

 

He was at the top of the game when he died? So you're saying if someone like 2 Chainz was killed today, a guy who is one of the most "popular" artists in hip-hop right now, he'd automatically have to be regarded as an all time great?

 

Lil Wayne was at the top of the game for a while. So was Nelly, 50, Nicki Minaj, Macklemore (?)

 

Would any of them go down as all time greats? I don't believe so, or at least not deservingly.

 

Same goes for Big Pun. He died near the peak of his popularity, and now he's regarded as one of the best ever. Listen to his music though, it's far from iconic or revolutionary.

kendricks best song

Your basis for comparison is from a viewpoint directly skewed by having grown up during the modern evolution of the genre. Biggie was amazing and was revolutionary for the time period. There were also "high play" rappers from that era who were total trash, similar to 2Chainz of today.  Biggie wasn't one of them.
