Still waiting on Saigon to drop his album...
Jae Millz wanna blow but hasn't yet...

What up Fix,

I've actually gotten into Rakim recently. I wasn't really into his music in the past, but I've been listening to it more.

He's turning into Samuel L Jackson, like what Versatile said he's in like everything now. And usually SLJ is doing the same thing..:banana:

Maybe I need to listen to him more. I just remember him in the past as a pretty average rapper who rapped mainly about being rich. Has he improved?

u know what else I noticed about him?

He says "6 Fo" all the time..........so ****in annoying....i love lots of his songs....but that **** annoys the **** outta me....

To me this thread should be renamed Lil Wayne is going to be the biggest rapper in the next year or two. Boy is young as hell (22) and I wouldn't be surprised if he gon be hott for a while as long as he still bringing up that dedication and best rapper alive I think thats his motivation because Jay Z isn't anything like he ever was, that's if he was anything at all.

I imagine it's hard on you when another rapper comes forward and basically murders your own track..(Show Me What You Got)

Lil Wayne sucks.

Lil Wayne sucks.

I'd assure ya the mainstream will think otherwise but who'd you have in mind? Yukmouth?

Lil Wayne sucks.

yes Like your mom.

Lil Wayne is going to be HUGE in the next year or two, Tha Carter III is going to be great and will go multi-platinum very fast. Nas is the best out there but i doubt he will release another album in a year or two, but if he does it should be great. Juelz Santana's new album will probably sell well and it shouldn't be that bad as long as he keeps Jim Jones out of his songs. Papooses' new album should be very good when it comes out also.

Next NY rapper 2 break out is Saigon,a beast on the mic,and a political rapper,hes been thru some ****,got alot of publicity on Entourage

I would have added Papoose,but ever since he signed with Busta,hes not been 2 good,lately his **** sounds the same

Lupe Fiasco is also gna blow,i think his next albums gna do very very well,alot of people are begining 2 recognise him,and so they should,hes the best thing to come out in a long time

The Fix is a dreamer.

Yeah, Wayne is ass and doesn't even write his own ****. I know yall heard that song with him and Lloyd lol @ that track...'like you graduated from a good school', LAWL

I would definitely agree and say the Game too, but he has to keep his originality going and not talk of others. there is only so many tributes you can do, ya know, without seeming lame.

Debut Mc's

Bishop Lamont will blow up the biggest of newer guys, he has Dre's backup is the new "heir" to Aftermath and has a unique flow with a familiar voice. His album will be tight just like Game's debut was, Em's was and 50's was. He will blow up the biggest by far.

Mc's I cant wait to hear...

Royce Da 59' Underrated as hell, he is a murderer on the mic, The Bar Exam mixtape showed it again. Premo is backing the entire album, cant ****ing wait for that ****. Premo could blow Royce up finally.

Lil Wayne Going to enjoy this one to, although I dont think it will match Carter II, looking foward to it.

I'd assure ya the mainstream will think otherwise but who'd you have in mind? Yukmouth?

The mainstream? HAH!

**** the mainstream...

I love sucking **** :bottle: gayass fool

G.A.G.E dis guy is really talented, dont know when his releasing his album

Bishop Lamont has full backing of Dre, sounds sick

Lil Wayne, dis guy seems to be everywhere, really like his music

Cant wait for Chamillionaires next album.

He is underrated but dude has absolutely ZERO charisma. His best album death is certain is not even top 100 of all time. It is a good album but he lacks charisma and even creativity that all of the GOATS have. I think he should stick to ghost writing for all the big names :duh:

I have'nt a clue.....I am not really up on whats going on lately.Why don't some of you young bucks send me some new **** from some people you are feelin......

I agree and Royce had a shot when he was with Aftermath but he blew it, but that doesnt take him away from being one of the dopest mc's around. Premo production should be real nice, I guess we will see how the album comes out. I dont think he is a Goat he is underrated though.

Yeah Wayne seems like he's definately going to get bigger. The remix of Cannon is the best Southern track i've ever heard ( "I'll Hellen Keller you n****s"). Nas seems more visible in the mainstream than he has ever been what happens now is up to him. People will continue to pay attention when jay Z does things but I don't see any resurgence. Lupe will keep going. Isn't common supposed to release his new album soon. He is a nice safe image for the mainstream and now has greater exposure, plus respect from purists. I wish Rakim would blow up but i don't see it happening. You have to remember that even in his hay day he played second fiddle to more visible mainstream rappers like Kane. He is a spiritually deep lyric focused monotone rapper that dosen't talk about gangsta stuff so getting attention now will be extremely challenging. Ofcourse I metioned Common being a "safe" mainstream image, the door has been opening for non-gangsta rap since Kanye, Common (the recent return of Common under Kanye I mean) Mos def and Talib, but the ability to exploit that market depends on your ability to cross over (across racial lines). Rakim cannot really cross over like that (or it isn't likely he can).

**** the mainstream, I don't give a **** who is big on the mainstream, that means absolutely ****in ****!

Lupe Fiasco

Well everyone can sit in their own little corner and listen to what they want to but where does that leave the kids who are growing up on this stuff. The mainstream is simply a word for what is visible, it is not a given set of artists.
Control of the mainstream means power over our own culture whether that be black culture, American culture or European culture (for the Brits on here).

Yeah, Wayne is ass and doesn't even write his own ****. I know yall heard that song with him and Lloyd lol @ that track...'like you graduated from a good school', LAWL

Where's your proof here? Cause some attention whore by the name of Willie The Squid said it? If that's the case then why can't he actually drop a good line? Now that's a damn good LAWL.

**** the mainstream, I don't give a **** who is big on the mainstream, that means absolutely ****in ****!

It's means a lot of **** when people like Nas are complaining about hip hop is dead because their **** isn't where the average listener can't find their tracks on the radio..

I have'nt a clue.....I am not really up on whats going on lately.Why don't some of you young bucks send me some new **** from some people you are feelin......

You are a retard, and you are 14.

Lupe Fiasco................

Lupe Fiasco................

what he says

In all honesty I think it'll be Lil' Wayne. He's already popular but, he's everywhere as far as guest appearances. It's only going to grow being that he's already a platinum artist. So as far as popularity, I'ma go with him.
