I'll take a stab at this as well.
Rank Kanye's albums:
MBDTF (His coming full circle album imo)
College Dropout (his most hiphop album imo)
Graduation (His most commercial/commercial success album imo)
Late Registration (His most musically creative album Sonically speaking.... imo)
808s and Heartbreaks. (His most innovative/artistic/creative/experimental album imo)
They are all really close to each other, cause I love them all, and i view them all differently as you can see in the parenthesis. So it's hard to rank em for me personally, but if I had to rank them, that's how I would do it, but 808s being at the bottom doesn't mean I think its weak or anything.
Pick a coast to rep:
East
Pick a side in the Biggie/2Pac discussion:
Biggie was a doper emcee, Pac was a better rapper and had better presence/flow/delivery. but lyrically? Biggie killed Pac. Can't really pick between the two, because I prefer Wu and Boot camp over both during that period.
Make a comparison between Khalifa and something soft:
Softer than Chris Bosh after a Loss.
Decide who you think won the Jay-Z/Nas beef:
Jay lost Period. Nas won the battle. The whole life thing doesn't apply, because the Jay-z/Nas battle is just the Jay-z/Nas battle. It's an isolated issue. There are so many factors afterwards that had nothing to do with Jay-z Vs. Nas that changed both of their lives. People will say Jay won the war, but it's kind of ridiculous being that Jay and Nas are friends now. There was no war to be won. Totally different scenarios.
Flocka or Royce?
Royce all day....one of the illest emcees ever...however...I think he was WAY iller pre eminem/d12 beef. he lost some of his lyricism that made him a cut above the rest.
Flocka is a joke as an emcee.
What you think of J. Cole?
a great emcee and great producer. Could be the Next Kanye minus all the outside drama which is something I welcome. As long as he consistently continues to make good music, he will be Kanye 2.0.....cause he's much better lyrically than Ye.
Who is the best Wu-Tang member?
This is very very hard to say....because over the course of their dominant run in the 90s.....Different members became the best at different points.
I have to say Initially...Method man was the best....
In between Tical and OB4CL...Rza became super dope (with the gravediggaz and everything).
OB4CL and on....Ghost face was the best
Then came Wu Forever....and Raekwon destroyed everyone.
Then After that Ghostface came back out to be the best...
Currently...meth is killing all of them. dude made a stupid fucking song about sour patch kids and still killed it. He continues to impress these days....Im thinkin Joey had something to do with him doing extra well...feel like meth feels he got something to prove.
Can 2pac rap? (Or do Biggie got DAT FLOW?)
answered this already but yea 2pac can rap....2pac had a legendary flow/delivery/presence......Biggie was a much much MUCH better lyricist tho.
Rate Lupe on a scale of 1-10 (+ call him a dumbass for Lasers and political views):
11!
Can't hate the brother lupe.....He is an emcee's emcee tho....I think pre-lasers he went over alot of people's heads. I'm not gonna lie, he dumbed it down a bit on lasers...ironically...after making a song called dumb it down. but I can't hate on the brother...lupe can do no wrong in my eyes unless he makes some real bullshit.
Lil B? Genius or mentally challenged?
Mentally fucking challenged.....but some of his beats impress.
Pick an era of Eminem:
Marshall Mathers Lp by far is his best album.
How does Drake write such deep lyrics?
Drake is dope, Can't hate....but the best thing out of canada is The Weeknd by far.
Is Nas old and dusted with a horrible ear for production?
Nas is still dope as shit.....In regards to production, I think he is hit or miss...He will pick some amazing ass beats...then go and pick some of the worst beats...all on the same album.
Joe Budden: Introspective and witty, or annoying emo fetus killing asshole?
Introspective and witty by far. I hate judging an emcee as an emcee, based off of his off record antics. thus, musically speaking, he is introspective, witty, and dope.
