Some say that he said 50 cent 7 times, not 5. Either way i can only give LAX a 3.5 with all the namedroppin he did and all the guest appearences. Without the dope production game would suck.

no matter what people say about game droppin names... games heart is in this thing, he puts it all into his music, and nah he doesnt just need production to be sick... can you blame him for putting the dopest beats on an album? How many mixtapes did game wild out on lyrically, just putting out music for the fans... Game is the real deal. Lax in stores now...
hit up dat piff and listen to you know what it is vol 3 and 4... go download ghost unit, stop snitchin stop lyin, Face of LA, how many more i got to name? The dude can rap point blank..

lol, u dudes are not smart. just because its a list of namedrops doesnt eman the whole album is

dre dre dre 50 kobe lebron storch tony parker dre 50 eazy pac

lemme get a few lines so u fools can understand

'ball like tha nig.ga Tony Parker do it,
speak no Englais,
but dinero, i talk it fluent'

'dinero' is the spanish word for money, and 'ball' is a multi, ball, 1st bein ball as in playin basketball, second bein ball as in 'ballin'...can someone tell me whats wrong with this line?

''soemtimes i think about my life, with my face down,
then i see my sons and put on that kanye smile,
...damn i know his momma proud, and since u helped me sell my dream,
we can share my momma now'

nig.gaz is gonna hate on a hearfelt rhyme because of a Kanye name drop? really?

'and tell Dr. Dre to pick up a phone,
before i climb through his window like,
"nig.ga im home!"'

that lines ****in hilarious...but this is what gets so much hate?

'LOOK, i aint even ASK for his ****in chain...
but he took it off like Vennessa Del Rio (a **** star, obiously),
now im on my way to Rio,
after i see my P.O.,
she cool, she a Leo,
she ain't trippin off the weed smoke...
so im'a blow it like the Patriots,an throw my dub up, cuz Dr. Dre made me RICH'

good ****, a similie between the mark takin his chain off like how Vennessa Del Rio took her clothes off...then wordplay for 'Rio', Rio is that pron stars last name, and the second 'Rio' is reffering to a big city in the south america 'Rio De Janiero'. then theres another multi for 'blow it', first obiously bein inhale an blow out the ganja smoke, second bein that the New England Patriots blew it in the superblow last year, and finishes the verse sayin hes gonna throw his dub up cuz the Dre made him rich (which is true)....why does this get so much hate? i honestly dont get it, do these people think every song is just names without any meaning?

'ummm...ohh....uhhh....Game just namedrops all the time'...well, to put it simply, if u actully listened to all the words of ANY of his lines u would hear that there's a metaphore/similie/meaning for every single namedrop, i dont know if people just block everything out and only hear names or what? ...and to think, it's a shame most people these days don't even understand a basic concept of the english language, 'context'. :nonono:

Behind the bungalows, baggin up rocks the size of melons

You can catch 'em on the couch, everyday at 4 o'clock like Ellen

I don't see the problem with those lines. Where he drops a few names.

He talks about dre, 50, and impalas too much. Im not hating on the whole name droppin thing, im just pointing that out. Without all the guest appearances we woulda heard alot more name dropping. Compared to other rappers out now hes good, above average. But hes not as good as jadakiss, joe budden, and camron. I gave his cd a 3.5/5....what more do yall want from me? Thats not bad, i liked it enough to buy it. Its the type of album that you can like alot but its not the greatest cd, its not a classic or even a 4.5/5

Yeah he's not as good as them lyrically. But who cares he makes better albums then all of them.

I just find it kind of ironic that a lot of other rappers are repetitive and Game is the only one who gets called out for it.

How many times has 50 talked about using guns?

How many times has Jay talked about being a hustler?

How many times has Snoop talked about being a pimp?

How many times has Wayne talked about being the greatest, eating *****, and says Weezy F Baby?

How many times does Joe Budden rap about being depressed?

You can go on and on. I'm not hating just trying to point things out. The music comes out good. How would he name drop more without guest spots? If anything all artists do is namedrop who they're on a track with.

How would he namedrop more without guest spots? Thats more verses for him to talk about dre and impalas. I still like LAX...im just stating my opinion that its a good album, not a great album and that game is a good rapper, not a great album. Its as simple as that.

In my opinion jada and camron both make better albums then the game. Joe budden hasnt dropped in a while. Lil wayne was better then game before the cough syrup ****ed him up.

I have called out other rappers for being repetitive. I have said that i like tos alot but banks is the only rapper from g-unit thats got skill. Thats takin a shot at 50 cent...but why does no one pay attention when i do that? Because people dont like 50 cent. And alotta people who dont like 50 are game stans. That ****s gay who gives a **** if another rapper disses your favorite rapper. Joe budden can diss prodigy all he wants im still gonna **** with his music. Game and 50 can diss each other all day im still gonna **** with both them.

Joe budden is clearly more versatile and better then game. Games gotta better flow and he gets better beats. Camron vs game at this point is more opinion then anything else but if you back to camron on dip. immunity or purple haze he was better. Lets not even talk about when he was part of COC. His flow is up there with the greats and lyrically cam is criminally underrated. He gets stereotyped by some of his commercial songs but hes alot nice the people think, i used to be one of them. I dont really listen to snoop that much since doggystyle but jay-z is still better then the game.

American gangster and LAX cant even be compared in my opinion. Jay-z shows hes still a great story teller. No one ever questioned his flow. And he had some nice concept songs on that cd. The whole cd was a concept album. I could see myself liking LAX just as much as AG but i will never say its as good or greater.

I dont even want to hate on game. I was just joking with some of the things i said in this thread and i thought the thread title would be funny. SMH @ stans catchin feelings. Now im gonna point out what i like about the game (no homo)

good flow
alotta heart
above average lyrically
good rap voice
funny
gets good beats
knows how to make a good song
Has 1 great cd (documentary) and 2 good cds
Good mixtapes
Brings rappers together (games pain remix)

I have been clear that he has good qualities as a rapper but i cant criticize game without the stans gettin mad...

So now Game namedrops less and it's not because he's improved his subject matter?

To me it just seems like you'll just ignore the verse and just count the names.

Please the iternet is so corny. I wouldn't even pay as much attention or even know the term name drop if it weren't for the net. Hoestly the net is filled with haters.

he said Dre 6 times and Impala and/or 64' 9 times outta 16 tracks...he doesnt really say em alot on this album, are you positive he would say them more? wheres the reasoning behind this? the ratio isnt even 1 for 1 for namedropping either word on tracks...

In my opinion jada and camron both make better albums then the game. Joe budden hasnt dropped in a while. Lil wayne was better then game before the cough syrup ****ed him up.

i like how you automatically say people who don't like 50 cent are game stans...you do know that 50's fallen off, right? maybe people don't pay attention to when you say things like that because people overall don't care about 50 and g-unit anymore, ever think of that?

LMFAO @ how many times you mention the word 'stans'. people can't just be fans of artists these days? haha, but yea, i am a Game fan, i wasnt mad though-but im really starting to think alotta people really do think a Game line goes, "dre dre 50 50 impala impala los angeles compton" because most people are dumb like that. i just explained his namedropping and how it all makes sense in the easiest way possible, kind of like im speaking to 3rd graders. you went into comparing him to Jay-Z, Budden, Jada-but why? i know i never said lyricaly he was better than any of them, and i dont think anyone else did either. what do any of the other rappers you mentioned in your rambling have anything to do with 'How To Namedrop 101'?

btw, nobody still didn't tell me whats wrong with any of the lines i posted on page two.

I think game gets rated harshly by his critics because he claimed that he was BIG, Pac and Nas. Hes always saying hes all these legends, he said I'm lyrically big daddy kane. So people have high expectations...

co-sign...he will never be there with any of them

Wow so because I make valid points about Game I'm a stan now? :rofl:

And chill on that Stan ****. It's completely retarded.

Your a stan because your gettin upset about my opinions. I have said i like almost every song on the cd but stans get so upset over criticism that they miss things sometimes. I noticed the name droppin right away on documentary on doctors advocate. It didnt bother me on documentary but it was annoying at times on doctors advocate. That album is still hot just like the new one...stop assuming things. I have no problem with your "points" you made about game but you seem to get upset over mine. Im being fair...rap isnt like sports. Theres more opinions and less facts involved.

he said Dre 6 times and Impala and/or 64' 9 times outta 16 tracks...he doesnt really say em alot on this album, are you positive he would say them more? wheres the reasoning behind this? the ratio isnt even 1 for 1 for namedropping either word on tracks...

After he said Dre 34 times on documentary and 30 times on DA i really dont wanna hear him continue to speak on dre. I am positive that if game had about 3 or more verses on this cd we would likely hear more about dre, 50 cent, and/or impalas. He averages 8.5 names dropped per song. Its common sense...the more time he has to rap the more names your gonna hear. Thats called a positive correlation.

i like how you automatically say people who don't like 50 cent are game stans...you do know that 50's fallen off, right? maybe people don't pay attention to when you say things like that because people overall don't care about 50 and g-unit anymore, ever think of that?

There are some people like that and then theirs the stans. The ****riders....look at all the 50 **** riders that wrote ja rule off before ever hearing any of his disses. Im not sayin all rap fans like this, most arent. But theres alotta stans out there.

If you wanna say 50's fallen off thats your opinion. But TOS has mixed reviews, theres still a good number of people who **** with g-unit and 50. You can bring up the low sales of TOS but theres not another group that would sell what they sold. Bone thugs? nope Lox? nope

And i like some of these groups more then g-unit but im being real, not biased.

(even though Cam is hated on for the wrong reasons)...what does this have to do with anything...?

In case you didnt notice comparisons between the game, camron, joe budden, jadakiss, lil wayne, snoop dogg, jay-z and 50 cent were all brought into this. Im responsible for comparing game to budden, camron, and jadakiss but lefthook brought up the others.

what does this have to do with anything...? you keep talking off in a random tangent that has nothing to do with the discussion, your giving you reviews on old albums compared to L.A.X....what purpose does this serve?

see above

LMFAO @ how many times you mention the word 'stans'. people can't just be fans of artists these days? haha, but yea, i am a Game fan, i wasnt mad though-but im really starting to think alotta people really do think a Game line goes, "dre dre 50 50 impala impala los angeles compton" because most people are dumb like that. i just explained his namedropping and how it all makes sense in the easiest way possible, kind of like im speaking to 3rd graders. you went into comparing him to Jay-Z, Budden, Jada-but why? i know i never said lyricaly he was better than any of them, and i dont think anyone else did either. what do any of the other rappers you mentioned in your rambling have anything to do with 'How To Namedrop 101'?

These are all rappers that are out now and have a good amount of internet fans like the game. They're good to use for the purpose of comparing. Why cant i say that i think there all better then game without feelings gettin hurt? When you hear names being dropped on every song of a cd it starts to sound more like a mixtape. I like games style but i think if he did that for half of an album the quality would increase. It sounds like hes recycling his rhymes the way he does it...i know theres examples of him doing that as you already listed and i agree, he has some nice lines when hes droppin names. But some of it sounds like **** he already said, just re-worded. I know other rappers do that but its more obvious at least to me with the game.

I made a list of things i liked about the game (no homo) and we still got angry posters comin at me because i criticized him. SMH

co-sign...he will never be there with any of them

Your a stan because your gettin upset about my opinions. I have said i like almost every song on the cd but stans get so upset over criticism that they miss things sometimes. I noticed the name droppin right away on documentary on doctors advocate. It didnt bother me on documentary but it was annoying at times on doctors advocate. That album is still hot just like the new one...stop assuming things. I have no problem with your "points" you made about game but you seem to get upset over mine. Im being fair...rap isnt like sports. Theres more opinions and less facts involved.

After he said Dre 34 times on documentary and 30 times on DA i really dont wanna hear him continue to speak on dre. I am positive that if game had about 3 or more verses on this cd we would likely hear more about dre, 50 cent, and/or impalas. He averages 8.5 names dropped per song. Its common sense...the more time he has to rap the more names your gonna hear. Thats called a positive correlation.

There are some people like that and then theirs the stans. The ****riders....look at all the 50 **** riders that wrote ja rule off before ever hearing any of his disses. Im not sayin all rap fans like this, most arent. But theres alotta stans out there.

If you wanna say 50's fallen off thats your opinion. But TOS has mixed reviews, theres still a good number of people who **** with g-unit and 50. You can bring up the low sales of TOS but theres not another group that would sell what they sold. Bone thugs? nope Lox? nope

And i like some of these groups more then g-unit but im being real, not biased.

In case you didnt notice comparisons between the game, camron, joe budden, jadakiss, lil wayne, snoop dogg, jay-z and 50 cent were all brought into this. Im responsible for comparing game to budden, camron, and jadakiss but lefthook brought up the others.

see above

These are all rappers that are out now and have a good amount of internet fans like the game. They're good to use for the purpose of comparing. Why cant i say that i think there all better then game without feelings gettin hurt? When you hear names being dropped on every song of a cd it starts to sound more like a mixtape.

I showed respect to you and everyone else. The first time i brought up stans gettin mad it wasnt directed at you even though it was part of my reply to your post. I re-read everything and i think a couple things got mis interpreted. I respect your opinion and as long as you respect mine the im sorry. Im not sure if you respect what im saying or not...so im givin you the benefit of the doubt.

Its common sense...the more time he has to rap the more names your gonna hear. Thats called a positive correlation

isn't this thread about the namedrops on L.A.X.? who is even talkin about the Doc or the D.A.? lhe might namedrop 8.5 times on a track, but 1. it's his signature, and 2. he says Dre 6 times, let me repeat, 6 times out of 16 tracks, and impalas and/or '64 (which is really two diferent words) 9 times outa 16 tracks, the ratio of those two words isnt even 1 for every track, you said we would hear dre and impalas and 64 more times, you didnt even answer the question, how do u figure he would say those two words more? it's not like im saying he doesnt namedrop but where's the logic behind 'wee would hear more about dre and impalas in particular?' would we hear more names with metaphore/similies/meanings attatched in the context? of coarse, but since you dont understand a basic concept of the english language all you hear is names and objects.

There are some people like that and then theirs the stans. The ****riders....look at all the 50 **** riders that wrote ja rule off before ever hearing any of his disses. Im not sayin all rap fans like this, most arent. But theres alotta stans out there.

Ja Rule was never a good artist to begin with. in fact, the reason i don't like 50's music is because he destroyed Ja's career, he said 'the nig.ga doin duets...ja rules a pop star'...then he dropps candyshop on the massacre, hypocrite much?

If you wanna say 50's fallen off thats your opinion. But TOS has mixed reviews, theres still a good number of people who **** with g-unit and 50. You can bring up the low sales of TOS but theres not another group that would sell what they sold. Bone thugs? nope Lox? nope

ok, but who said sanything about sales? will they sell more than Bone Thugs & The Lox, most likely...are they as consistent/talented as the Lox & Bone Thugs? hell no. since u keep bringin up old albums hows this, Beg For Mercy ****s on T.O.S.

In case you didnt notice comparisons between the game, camron, joe budden, jadakiss, lil wayne, snoop dogg, jay-z and 50 cent were all brought into this. Im responsible for comparing game to budden, camron, and jadakiss but lefthook brought up the others.

incase you didn't notice lefthook asked how many times each rapper talks about the same ****, 50 and guns, Jay and husltlin, etc. and you didnt even answer his question to begin with.

These are all rappers that are out now and have a good amount of internet fans like the game. They're good to use for the purpose of comparing. Why cant i say that i think there all better then game without feelings gettin hurt?

why do u keep wantin to talk bout feelings fa.ggot? you CAN say theyre better, most of them lyricaly are better, but to say that the namedropping doenst make sense or is dumb is just plain ignorant, and i already explained why, because with each namedrop theres a metaphore/similie/meaning in the context surrounding it, and if you don't hear it or pay attention to it, go back to 3rd grade and learn how to read/listen for the context of words.

When you hear names being dropped on every song of a cd it starts to sound more like a mixtape. I like games style but i think if he did that for half of an album the quality would increase. It sounds like hes recycling his rhymes the way he does it...i know theres examples of him doing that as you already listed and i agree, he has some nice lines when hes droppin names. But some of it sounds like **** he already said, just re-worded. I know other rappers do that but its more obvious at least to me with the game.

can you give me a example on L.A.X. were he "re-cycles" or "re-words" his lines. again, this thread was about the namedrops on L.A.X., right? if it sounds like recycled rhymes thats on you homie, cuz on L.A.X. theres at most 1 or 2 recycled lines, but it'd still like to hear you say em anywy.

I made a list of things i liked about the game (no homo) and we still got angry posters comin at me because i criticized him. SMH

im not angry, just trying to explain to people like you how a simple concept of the english language that surrounds the Game's namedropping on his songs, 'context'.

I didnt answer the question because its a matter of opinion. Alotta this is about personal opinions. You get mad because i disagree.

http://www.straferight.com/forums/customavatars/avatar63773_17.gif

Can i have my own opinions without you hatin on them? Damn killa we suppose to be on the same team. Cams one of my favorite rappers. Just because i dont think as highly of the game as you do...what the ****? I've been listenin to rap for 11 years. I know theres people hear who go back farther then me but i've studied all the legends. I listen to slick rick, rakim, big daddy kane, and all them. If you cant respect my opinion the eat a **** f@g.

Ja Rule was never a good artist to begin with. in fact, the reason i don't like 50's music is because he destroyed Ja's career, he said 'the nig.ga doin duets...ja rules a pop star'...then he dropps candyshop on the massacre, hypocrite much?

Once again thats your opinion. Ja rule was above average in my opinion on VVV and his unreleased material was nice. He was making alotta good songs. I dont like alotta sh!t 50 has done but i like what i hear when i listen to his music so im gonna continue to listen to him.

ok, but who said sanything about sales? will they sell more than Bone Thugs & The Lox, most likely...are they as consistent/talented as the Lox & Bone Thugs? hell no. since u keep bringin up old albums hows this, Beg For Mercy ****s on T.O.S.

Sales dont mean **** to me. But they do to alotta people so i assumed you were on of them. Sorry for assuming that and not having the same opinions as you killa. And i like TOS more then beg for mercy...would most people agree with me? Nope. Do i give a ****? Nope. Do you give a **** that i disagree with you? Yessir

incase you didn't notice lefthook asked how many times each rapper talks about the same ****, 50 and guns, Jay and husltlin, etc. and you didnt even answer his question to begin with.

I said i listen to game, i bought lax but it annoys me at times. Jay-z talks about money and hustlin all the time but hes better lyrically, I dont really pay attention to it with him but with the game it stands out at times. Those arent my favorite rappers. I like jay-z and 50 alot but i wouldnt put them in my top 10 favorites and same goes with the game. And its not really fair to include jay-z in this...hes not the most versatile rapper in terms of concepts but hes more versatile then most give him credit for. Listen to minority report, meet the parents, *****es and sisters, etc.

why do u keep wantin to talk bout feelings fa.ggot? you CAN say theyre better, most of them lyricaly are better, but to say that the namedropping doenst make sense or is dumb is just plain ignorant, and i already explained why, because with each namedrop theres a metaphore/similie/meaning in the context surrounding it, and if you don't hear it or pay attention to it, go back to 3rd grade and learn how to read/listen for the context of words.

When did i say namedroppin is dumb and doesnt make sense? I said its annoying. Most of your arguement is based on assumptions and things you made up. So game only said dre 6 times on LAX? Thats good you can read. I heard him say dre over 60 times combined from the docum. and DA...i dont wanna hear him say dre again even in a creative way. He needs to get off his dick and you need to get off games dick.

can you give me a example on L.A.X. were he "re-cycles" or "re-words" his lines. again, this thread was about the namedrops on L.A.X., right? if it sounds like recycled rhymes thats on you homie, cuz on L.A.X. theres at most 1 or 2 recycled lines, but it'd still like to hear you say em anywy.

Probably more then that but im not gonna go through the album and find them. Theres plenty of lines that sound like stuff he already said with different names involved. Its not that i hate his style but he uses it for every song he does. Thats why it sounds repetitive to me. The key words are "to me" Its ok if you like it but who says i have to? smh killa smfh

gold mac...i'm suprsied you still don't get it. the point of me responding to this thread is to help people understand that all of the namedropping Game does has a point, and is clever if you really listen to it.

Sales dont mean **** to me.

so whyd you bring them up then?

When did i say namedroppin is dumb and doesnt make sense? [/quote]

"Without the dope production game would suck."

true, you didn't outright say it in those words, i had taken it from when you implied Game would be nobody without production, then i would naturaly assume you mean that they are not skilled in any other aspect of bein a MC, to me, this includes a lyrical aspect, unless you would like to enlighten me on what you meant by "Game would suck without good production."

you say 'you mad' but when i read some of the things you responded with i can say the same...

If you cant respect my opinion the eat a **** f@g.

He needs to get off his dick and you need to get off games dick.

Its ok if you like it but who says i have to? smh killa smfh

...im the one whos mad? haha, yeah...riiigghhhhtt. i'm not even gonna bother trying to explain something to an individual who doesn't even understand what a metaphore, a similie, or the context of a word is. yea, we are on the same team, Cam'Ron is probably my favorite MC tbh, an i can respect everybodies opinion, **** me and lefthook kinda got into who's the better lyricist last week i tihnk, an i ended up agreein to disagree, nobody still didnt answer whats wrogn with the lines i posted, i guess we can agree to disagree that Game's namedropping is good or bad. i like it, some nig.gaz dont like it, i tried to explain how there is deeper meanings to all of it, and if people get a better understanding for it, great, if not, i tried anyway. an ill just leave it at that.

I got no problem with that. You can have whatever opinion you want and i respect that. But you disrespected mine by sayin

u dudes are not smart.

'ummm...ohh....uhhh....Game just namedrops all the time'...well, to put it simply, if u actully listened to all the words of ANY of his lines u would hear that there's a metaphore/similie/meaning for every single namedrop, i dont know if people just block everything out and only hear names or what? ...and to think, it's a shame most people these days don't even understand a basic concept of the english language, 'context'.

Im gonna reply 9 out of 10 times when someone says im not smart and i dont understand the concept of the english language. Thats what im known for...im the gold mac and i have sh!tted on several posters from many different sites. But with rap its alot different...Unless your talkin about whos better, rakim or soulja boy theres really no right or wrong answers. Its not like sports. Your welcome to share what you think at anytime in any thread i make. I just dont wanna be disrespected...i aint have a problem with you til now but Im a big camron fan and you must be too so Id like to end this and start defendin cam. Alotta ignorant rap fans dont think hes that good but he can put them multis together with the best of them.

so whyd you bring them up then?

I was ****in around with that...im not sure why i said that. He wouldnt suck but he wouldnt be what he is. He had real nice beats from day one. I got all 3 of his cd's...im a game fan. I dont think hes as good as some people say he is...sometimes i say sh!t about rappers i like. I made a "nas lost" thread with not the best lookin pics of kelis and i think hes one of the top 3 greatest. But i shouldnt had went as far as to say "game would suck."

I understand what metaphor, a simile, a multi...all that stuff is. I do like games name droppin at times...its just that in my opinion it doesnt sound as good when its done through out an album but he does come up with nice lines too. I said at least once that I had no problem with the lines you posted. But i think at this point we got a good idea of where each other stands and its time for us to agree to disagree.

Jay-Z also compensates for his lack of versatility with the fact that he is one of the best to ever rap. Hes just great at rapping. He might talk about the same stuff but it doesn't get old because hes so good at doing it. This goes for a lot of rappers.

Jay-Z isn't saying anything new in Jockin' Jay-Z, but I love that song. You know?

I got no problem with that. You can have whatever opinion you want and i respect that. But you disrespected mine by sayin

i had initialy said that cuz 3 outta 4 people werent acknowledging that the namedrops have a meaning, but, since you do know that they have meanings, your not dumb. i had drawn that conclusion from your previous posts.

Im gonna reply 9 out of 10 times when someone says im not smart and i dont understand the concept of the english language.

Alotta ignorant rap fans dont think hes that good but he can put them multis together with the best of them.

yea, just spoke on it above. on the ladder subject, Cam gets too much hate for literally 3, maybe 4 bad tracks out of his whole career. people zero in on the bad ones becuase of what 50 said at the end of Funeral Music, meanwhile 50 destroys Ja Rule's career and uses his style afterward:nonono:

I was ****in around with that...im not sure why i said that. He wouldnt suck but he wouldnt be what he is. He had real nice beats from day one. I got all 3 of his cd's...im a game fan.

yea, i might have drawn the wrong conclusion, you might have said something that was misconstrewed by me, either way, it dont matter now though.

I said at least once that I had no problem with the lines you posted. But i think at this point we got a good idea of where each other stands and its time for us to agree to disagree.

the initial point of my post was that noone seamed to comprehend that even though he does name drop constantly (theres no denying it, its his signature), there are meanings, lyrical content, etc. behind em.

if you undertsnad that there are meanings behind em but dont like the oversaturation of the namedorps, thats a completely different thing and thats fine, but from the first couple of pages i was getting the idea peopl didnt understand that there is lyrical content to the namedrops. thats why i posted in the first place.

you dont like how he namedrops all the time but you do undertsand that theres lyrical content to each one, all good. cuz not liking the constand namedrops is just personal preference, but recognizing there's meaning to them is what i was trying to get across. carry on...
