I don't get why people look back at that shit like some sort of sin. Like, there was a reason people enjoyed it. It got dicks sucked in the club and it went in the whip and you could listen to it at house parties.
edit: POP TI was awesome. What You Know was a fukkin classic
if you see lies then point em out.

So in retrospect do you guys think Rocafella or Bravehearts/ill will was the better label?
Nah, for real tho. Biggie and Pac dying was like when Jordan retired. A lot of dec ent dudes got too much shine. Nas is kinda the rap game Vince Carter. Jay was like Kobe. You don't really like seeing him win, and he was kinda doing it against shit competition. Still, the rings are there.

A lot of it is half truths and distortions though. Like I already said, Jay's lack of depth as an emcee is made up for by his unparalleled breadth. If you know someone more versatile and proven successful at working with different partners... Well, you really dont. Then you talk about Jay-Z being opportunistic and entrepreneurial like it's some sort of sin. Jay was one of the few guys pushing hip hop to the people outside of the base with collabs and shit. That shit helps keep hip hop alive and relevant. Its like ninjas hating on Call of Duty and Halo and shit and not realizing that games like that are not only a) fun but b) keep all the infrastructure and fanbase or even a lot of the really underground shit you like to stay alive. Kanye is helping Hov? Interesting viewpoint. Of course you could say that Hov did quite a bit by throwing his support behind Kanye when he was still a fledgling. I hope you don't hate on your parents for helping you get through your education and shit.
Or this.

Contrived or not still begs the question whether the album was good or not. It's a great album [IMO].
'Fallin'' of 'American Gangsta' is one of my favorite Jay-Z tracks.

it was the equivalent of him just copying himself via vol.1
and this as well even re-heated Vol.1 is the best stuff Jay's done since the Black Album
This is the shit ya'll like, but all that fire on SAAB Stories bored ya'll? its not bad but its not touching the stuff on SAAB. The whole swag wouldn't fit

this bronson track...damn, fraud tripping me out too
this is one of those anecdotal things i meant to ask about cause it was kinda a weird time for me too: post biggie/pac death i was leaving for college and all the me-too shit comin up put me off the scene for a minute. am i mixing up my timeline shit or is that around when jay, ja, X etc really came up? not that they were cutting before, but even the limited access my block had, these were the ones getting rotation when people were still mourning and shit. or am i overlapping shit by a year or two here?
PP has nearly my list down, but Life is Good dont rank for you dom?
speaking of time overlapping, i dont know
a) how the fuck these events crossover in your mind (shit was damn near a year ago man)
b) nas needed a life is good, if he'dve tried a yeezus there'dve been mad jokes, that's not where his mind's at
speaking of, ive come around to yeezus & totally see it shitting on cole's safe/boring album but ya'll can't fuckin want anyone else to mimic it or follow ye out to wherever the fuck he is right now mentally, because again at best you're talmbout Electric Circus-land from your "favorite" MCs

Is there a chopped & screwed version of 808's & Heartbreaks and if so would someone link me to it please.
nope.
i did like Distant Relatives though but that was more because of Damian than Nas.

Wait what? Jay-Z is not the face of hip hop. Kanye, Lil Wayne, Drake, and Eminem are far more popular. BTW I do not hate Jay-Z. Blueprint 1, RD, VOL 1 are all great albums.
Bronson, no thanks.
Jay sells more than ye

Yeah ok, but do sales = face of hip hop? If so, Eminem is the face of hip hop by all accounts.
Gattaca!
to the mainstream he is?

Imma kill myself if I can't remember what the sample on Heel Toe. It sounds like a certain 80s rock song synthesized through some Sega Genesis shit. fuck can't remember
Just listened to that P/Alchemist interview with Juan and Rosenberg. Dope as fuck. He says Q's album sounds amazing and he has a beat on it.

Not for nothing if you ask the majority of people who don't listen to hip hop exclusively (and a fair number who do) and they would say yeah Eminem is the face of hip hop. And I would prefer that greatly than the fact that it might be Drake right now.
