Is this how low hip-hop has sunk?

It's basically about who's the most popular at the moment. They picked Jim Jones over Nas lol. And Jimmy sold half of what Nas sold.

The day that TI is hotter or whatever than Common or Nas, the world will blow up.

It's from a popularity standpoint. It's not about overall skill. Because Nas would be up on the list for sure. But right now TI is very popular and is selling a lot of records. I don't disagree with you becuase I'm not a TI fan but he's everywhere right now.

Having Lil Wayne at #1 says it all. Kanye at #5!!

Where the **** is Lupe Fiasco??!!

This list sucks





























I mean wheres Paul Wall? j/k

The channel is called Music Television and they show an hour worth of videos at the most. What do they know?

T.I. and Wayne at 1 and 2 makes sense though.

what happened to hip-hop?

Weezy Ball hard!

lol nas was right....hip hop is dead.

Where's Uncle Murda at? This is blasphemy damnit!!!

What a ****ing waste of time....

Which deaf/blind son of a ***** came up with this list!!!

T.I is a load of bollocks, Jim Jones is a waste of time, Jeezy is ok but not top 10 material, nearly all of them are a bag of ****, what has Andre 3000 done to be so high up, wheres Nas, Lupe, Chamillionaire, why is Common so down on the list.

Eventhough its the hottest MC's in the Game, guys like Crooked I & Papoose are better than most of these guys...

This is why i dont follow rap music no more, it's pure cack, no real MC's anymore, how can a living breathing human being speak of Kayne West and Jay Z in the same breath, its a joke.

50 cent is garbage

Where's all the real rappers gone?

I guess im gonna keep bumping Wu-Tang, Jigga, Biggie and wait till 2009 when shyne is eligible for parole, and wait till C-Murder comes off house arrest.

Shyne and C-Murder are not that good. Especially C-Murder.

Shyne and C-Murder are not that good. Especially C-Murder.


Ill pretend i didnt see you say that, shyne is a legend, lyrically he is just ill,

C Murder got a good flow, and he tells stories about real life crime, not stories that never happened.

Depends what you like, i know alot of people on here like these ****ty fantasy battle rappers like Cannibus who talk about **** they cant do or never happens.

But yeah put some lyrics up and i can prolly find some better ones from shyne, he just real to the bone.

Just cuz he's real doesn't make him a good rapper. Most rapppers don't do the **** they talk about. Shyne shot a woman in the face. There's nothing gangsta about that. And Canibus is leaps and bounds above Shyne. I like Shyne somewhat though. His last album was decent.

Seriously Shyne is way better than cannibus, post cannibus lyrics about **** he cant do, he's all talk, a fantasy rapper.

"Im'a hit you with a couple thunderbolts"

:lame:

Cack.

Then ill post on shyne's verse's which got source magazine verse of the year i think.

The Source is trash. Seriously who pays attention to the Source? I'm not posting a verse becuase I really don't feel like it. Didn't I just tell you that a lot of rappers say stuff they can't do. Rap has imagery to it to, you do know that right? Even your boy Shyne makes **** up.

Maybe the source is trash (i dont read it) but i like realism, i dont wanna know about how thunderbolts cannibus can hit me with, he just chats mess, one of them fake knowledge dropping rappers who talk alot of **** (a bit like Nas) fact is, he is a skinny peanut headed idiot who got hurt bad by LL Cool J,

If he tried to battle shyne he'd get murdered, 50 cent tried, shyne rapped on a jail cell payphone and finished him for life.

Yeah Shyne really won he's in jail and 50 is profiting 100 of millions off of Vitamin water. And if you like relaisn I would consider listening to another genre. Becuase 90% rap is immagination.

No its not, as i see it rap music is was orginally a response to the poor social and economic conditions of african americans immigrants. Reason why alot of the old stuff actually relates to Social conditions, NWA is an example.

Anyways it doesnt bother me you disagree, your welcome to your opinion dude.

I fail to see how Shyne "murdered 50 for life" when Po is STILL behind bars and 50 is raking in millions while still putting out relevant music that bubbles from streets to clubs to the radio..............

Shyne had, what, 2 hits tops?

Shyne made millons when he signed his last album contract anyways, he had millions before that, his first album sold about a million records.

But it aint even about money, its about lyrics, and being real

50 got shown up as fake, and at the end of the day real recognise real, shyne is loved, he never said a word or a name to lower his sentance, he just took 10 years like a man.

Lyrically shyne proved he was on another level to fifty,

And if they ever took the beef off wax, 50 would get murdered, shyne aint talk, he's proven that.

It's not about money, fine.

But just cuz Shyne shot up a club and didn't snitch don't mean ****, he was an average MC at best. He had one solid album and didn't prove to be any better than 50. 50's street cred may not be what it was when he first came out but his backstory is infamous around Queens and largely true.

I'm not a 50 stan or a Shyne hater, I like both of their ****, but you just seem to be gassin' the boy Shyne up a little bit too much.

Be a fan not a stan homie......

50 aint infamous for notihng but getting shot and doing nothing about it,

Shyne is way above average dude, beats wise lyrics wise and rappers go to ryker's island and visit the dude in jail, hes real to the bone. Thats why i respect him,


And check out the lyrics for 'Whatcha gonna do' then come back to me with 50 cent talk, and go ask 50 how he couldnt even handle Ja Rule.

Its about lyrics, alot of rappers these days are popsicles,

DMX must the worst lyricist of his generation
Snoop Dogg, never great lyrically
Dre, has ghostwriters and easy e murdered him.
50 cent, Ja Rule, are wack.

Even Kanye west with that pretend dropping knowledge mess, someone should wire his jaw shut again, he talks some mess.

Thats my opinion.

Real Rappers is Wu-Tang, Shyne, Jay-Z, Rakim, NWA, Cormega, etc.

I don't care who visits him in jail. Thats like me saying 50 gets Kool Aid points for ****in' Ciara and partying with Puff & Jay. Remy Ma just shot some ***** and didn't talk to police, whoopdee****indoo.

That Ja Rule comment is just plain stupid too. 50 practically shut Ja & Murder Inc. down for years until recently. I don't know what rock you were hiding under during this time.

Again, be a fan homie and not a stan. You're saying stuff but making zero sense..........

Seriously Shyne is way better than cannibus, post cannibus lyrics about **** he cant do, he's all talk, a fantasy rapper.

Then ill post on shyne's verse's which got source magazine verse of the year i think.



You've heard Shyne's first and basically, only actual album? He's bigger than Scarface, Nino Brown and Frank White in his lyrics, is that not "fantasy"? I love Shyne's first album also. "Bad Boyz" is one of my favorite songs of all time. CRAZY song.

Dude, dont get get hype with me for having an opinion, you must have just landed on Plymouth rock.

50 Cent didnt shut down no one, he got stabbed with a pen by Black child wasnt it? then........did nothing, acutally didnt he get a restraining order?

:lol1:

Look, keep your opinion, you like 50 cent thats fine, i can tell you right now his lyrics are whack, he is whack, his beats are whack, hey he can sing a hook so what.

Im not a stan, your the one writing letters to eminem and telling him your his biggest fan, not me.

Now thats my opinion, live with it.

I never said Every single lyrics was real, cos he exaggerates, and im not saying shyne is the best rapper either, im just saying he very underated, yes, his 1st album was the ****, sold nearly a million too, point is, in general, he speaks the truth, imo.

And he proved it that night in the club for me, and he clearly hooked on coke, which is a bad thing too, but he aint lying.

"Fantasy" was the key word. Yeah, that album is good ****.

Now for the last couple of months, things been real quiet
cause I ain't heard **** worth buyin
I'm bout to show you *****z how I'm driven
The drive comes from my lyrics
and my lyrics come from my inner spirit
Vibratin and spinnin, faster than 12-cylinder engines
with nitrogen in 'em, faster than F-1 McLaren pistons
Fast enough to give your brain an aneurysm
cause you *****z is slower than fat *****es metabolism
The way I rip apart the competition when I be spittin
The name Canibus might as well be Cannibalism
Show me a man that can't feel him
I'll show you a man that'll grab him by the neck
and put his head to the fan on the ceilin
Suffer real "Banned From Television" ****
Drop him off the roof of a buildin and let the news film him
I hop in front of the cameras and tell 'em how I'm feelin
I tell 'em how I feel that hip-hop, should deal wit it
Tell 'em how I'm tired of the state rappers in
Ninety percent of the **** that rappers kick is subject matter-less
Not original, but blasphemous, just a bunch of the same characters
shootin the same videos, it's embarassin
Usin the same formulas to have a hit
Usin the same actors and actresses, same **** different laxative
Face it ***** you wack as **** I'm snatchin your mic
I make you run for your life, chill durin the daylight
then track you at night, my global position is satellite
Got a infrared lens to test your body's fahrenheit
Wherever you go, I track you through hail, sleet, or snow
I track you til you're seizure grows into a afro
until you plant 'em into cornrows
Track you til your shoe soles develop holes
and you get, corns on your toes
til your teeth develop halitosis
but you been goin so long without deodorant
you don't even notice -- mother****er!

50 didn't shut Ja down? You can't be serious. :cool2:

Like I said, I like both 50 & Shyne. And I actually really hate Eminem's music so, no.

Your opinion is fine, we all have them. But damn, you really seem to be on Jamaal Barrow's **** homie.

I'm just calling a spade a spade.

Nah, dude, i just think he underated, but if u wanna quote jay-z lyrics to me, thats fine, (Spade a spade lol)

GZA is prolly my fav rapper.

I was quoting Beanie Sigel.

Yeah, GZA's good. One of the few rappers who actually sounds just as good live, if not better, than on record. That Grandmasters album was criminally slept on.

Yeah cool, actually thats also a Jay Z lyric too,

Blueprint 2, off the same titled album, its the diss to nas.

GZA is cool, apparently he spends ages writing that **** though lol, remember wu tang saying they had to wait for him to finish rymes and **** so they can finalise the track lol.

It's basically about who's the most popular at the moment. They picked Jim Jones over Nas lol. And Jimmy sold half of what Nas sold.
Yea but everybody still screamin BBBaallliiinnn....Hell, the New York Giant Defense made it the signiture thing after a big problem...Although Jim Jones is wack, that is pretty hot..

No I didn't have aproblem with it. Becuase I'm okay with the list. It makes sense those ten mc's have the hottest buzz right now. And Jimmy's album is better than any album Camron put out and that's pretty embarrassing for Cam.
