edit: track is catchy as hell, but definitely doesn't deserve to be at the top of any page on this thread :lol

Wait, so now Nicki's 3-4 good verses in the history of her shitty career make her a better rapper than the wealth of good Drake verses?

*scratches head* Guess it's hype.

Nah I guess you didn't notice but Drake is the worst rapper to ever walk on this earth. Basically what Wayne was 2 years ago. And Eminem before that and so on..

Btw. Someone posted something about that awesome Novel mixtape: This track reminded me how brilliant Papoose is:

So much more

WTF happened to him? I remembered he signed a pretty big contract, battled with Fat Joe (I think) and then suddenly disappeared from the face of this earth.

Goddamnit listen to him riding this beat, in fucking credible. :D

Nick Cannon has created a facebook page challenging Eminem to a boxing match. Nick Cannon tweeted,”Nick vs Eminem: The Challenge Has Been Made!” Nick Cannon’s site states:

"The time has come! Boys talk the talk, but men walk the walk. Nick has laid down the challenge to meet Eminem in the ring. Nick and the rest of the crew on Rollin’ think it’s time for the feud to be over once and for all. And to draw Slim Shady out of hiding, Nick has decided to do it all for charity."

Don't get the Kno love. His production is good but pretty standard imo, and his samples aren't particularly interesting.

Madlib and Exile are ahead of everyone imo. Damu also deserves props

Madlib's beats feel soulless to me. They're good, but I don't get any sense of what he was trying to convey with them when I listen most of the time. I agree on Exile, though, he's extremely talented.

He's got so much stuff it really varies. Oftentimes his production albums are kinda hit and miss, with a lot of beats that are just...there; wouldn't call it soulless, simply thrown together in a drug induced lazy spurt. But when he's on the ball he can't be stopped.

Exile is definitely more consistent imo. The thing I really like about both of them is how versatile their sampling is.

Maybe soulless is a bit harsh, but I rarely get a sense of any feeling he's trying to convey or purpose to the music. His beats often feel like they exist just to exist, if that makes sense. More of experiments with sounds than a cohesive product.

9th Wonder...Where is the love?
Click to expand...

9th Wonder is overrated imo. Very boring, predictable production with the same drums and he hasn't evolved. Phonte was right about him.

It's 2010 and he's still producing like it's 2002, speeding up soul samples and shit. Can't believe he's being compared to Premier and Pete Rock, teaching hip hop classes etc.

Drake is nothing but Lil Wayne with more pop sensibilities. You can tell both Drake and Nicki Minaj have been under Wayne's tutelage, but at least Minaj is starting to develop her own style. Her early shit was stupid, sure, but if she keeps up on the path shes on right now shes gunna be a fucking beast. Drake, on the other hand...

And since we're talking producers, I'd list my faves but I have far too many. I usually watch producers more than I do rappers. Though I will say El-P is criminally underrated.

Am I insane to believe that Niki is going to be the new Missy? Her delivery reminds me of Missy. I don't know, I thought she was going to be the new Lil Kim, but she is seemingly more like Missy. Who knows.

I don't see how you can like Drake but hate on Nicki. I honestly don't get it. Bitch can rap. Her image is annoying, but she has killed any song shes been featured on recently.

No, I definitely think you're spot on. Her delivery is hitting Missy circa 1998 (Supa Dupa FLy Era) territory right now.

This probably was posted a while ago, but I just started bumping it hard...Can I take back what I said about the best female MC's and erect her to the top of the list:

...Also features some incredible fucking production, incredibly diverse and dope, not one single mediocre track (besides maybe Pricey) :D

This is also pretty ill:

Okay, after a second listen in the car I think this tape goes pretty hard...It's a bit overproduced, but maybe that's a blessing because it seems like the production >> Mickey Factz. Very different sounding, definitely along the lines of Gilbert Forte's last tape, but a little less poppy.

I wonder how Dame Dash feels about that lol.

Hopefully Kanye challenges Mos to actually rap more, instead of the scat singing stuff. And I'd love to hear him over more Madlib beats

In these hard economic times, I can't blame Mos for going where the money is. Even if he doesn't drop an album, Kanye will have him sitting pretty with features alone *looks at Big Sean*

DJ Premier is still top producer to me

As far as my favorite producers still living goes, in no particular order:
DJ Premier
The Alchemist
Kno
Madlib
DJ Muggs
And an assortment of Wu Tang affiliates like Mathematics, 4th Disciple etc.

I actually like a lot of his singing, The Beggar was one of my favorite songs on The New Danger. I still want him to rap more though.
