yeah when Q-Tip announced he was part of GOOD I pretty much lost my shit. That's gonna be amazing.

so I've decided that "I Know" is the best song of Hov's career so far. Is it a diatribe on the dangers of addiction? Is it the saddest breakup song ever?

i hope Hov's next album will be an American Gangster 2. it must.

with every day that goes by, i think more and more Blueprint is better than RD in almost every way. gotta reconsider my fav Jay album.

it is better than RD. I like RD a lot. But Blueprint is amazing.

i just listened to Ye's discog all the way through again, and i must say he has improved so much since The College Dropout. sound-wise & rapping-wise as well, he went IN on Gorgeous.

the remix of I Don't Like is the best trap piece Kanye has released yet by far.

"THEY AIN'T ABOUT THAT LIFE, THEY AIN'T ABOUT THAT LIFE"

Nas may be better at making those rough street songs, but when it comes to bragging, Hov is untouchable. :cool:

"this is Jay, dissing Jay will get you Ma$ed
when i start spitting them lyrics, nikkas get very religious
six hail mary's please father forgive us"

The ones where a producer with an actual vision guides his visionless ass to a classic

More time listening to hip hop has led me to realize that The Blueprint might be the most overrated, swagga jacking album of all time. Ghostface did it first and did it better.... still a great album though, I must say

Ghost might've done better over those Blueprint beats. who knows. he's one of the only few i would consider better than Jay after all.

As for the Kanye Question:

Spaceship- College Drop Out (how did no one else pick this???)
Diamonds From Sierra Leone- Late Registration
Can't Tell Me Nothin'- Graduation
Amazing- 808's & Heartbreak
So Appalled- My Beautiful Dark Twisterd Fantasy
Take One For The Team/Christian Dior Denim Flow- G.O.O.D. Fridays

man i love the new Nas single, "Daughters". i think i've played it like 50 times since it dropped. you can definitely say Life Is Good is my most anticipated album of the year.

underrated post :D

so in the last couple years you've decided you like Jay less, and I've decided I like him more? Interesting.

generally i consider Jay E to be the superior rapper out of the two.
however, Hov surprisingly outshined him on their only track together.
one of, if not his best verse in the last few years (not saying Jay E didn't do his thing).

I've come to think of him as more of a savvy benefactor than an actual innovator or 'genius'. I mean, he's good, but there are other rappers who deserve his position alot more than he does.

Agreed.
Jay Electronica is dope, he just needs to commit to being an MC and start giving us more material. Also, what happened to that Lil B collab we were promised?

well, i think there are (very few) rappers who are better than Hov. he isn't the most creative artist either, you're right. but he makes some of the best albums, no one can take that from him.
