Listen to Ether by Nas.
Oh, and Jay-Z is a sellout. No love. Even though 99 Problems was cool. Everything else was ehhhhhhhhhhhh

He is now a pop artist. he is a sellout.

Ether is waaaaaaaaay overrated. One Mic is the best song off that album imo.

Even if Jay is a sellout (i dont think so) he still has 2-3 classic albums that i listen to on the regular. Ether is probly the best diss i have heard next to nail in your coffin by Em.

What makes him a pop artist...?
The only thing he does differently now that he didn't do before is rap about drugs n ****.
Best diss I've ever heard = No vasaline...then prolly a Joe budden joint, then prolly a Eminem diss.
cookieM0Nster
Smash Champion
Maybe, but it was one of the best disses ever.
put it together. I rock hoes, yall rock fellas...
It's just so clever.
Ether may be overrated. It's not like it's the best song ever, or anything. But it is a very strong diss.
And most definitely.
He is. Did you listen to Blueprint III?
Whoa, how could I forget them? O.O
He is just rapping about what everyone else is pretty much... Have you listened to the Blueprint III? The instrumentals are similar to what every other pop rapper is putting out nowadays. Also, he does songs with other pop rappers. And he doesn't put any soul into the music anymore.
Plus, any real MC on his songs murder him. I.E. Eminem.
Don't get me wrong, a few of his older songs were really good, but now, eh. Its not up to the caliber that it used to be.
The coolest thing he did was give props to Talib Kweli. Thats some good ****.
Yeah, old Jay was better...I just don't find myself losing respect for him for changing up his style. That's like...backwards for me, lol. He makes music...good music. He may not be hungry anymore, but it'd be forced otherwise so...I kinda understand it.
And you can't put ANYONE up against Em, lol. That's so unfair.

Eh, he's only making music for money. I don't really have any respect for him.
And Eminem is a beast. No one can compare to Em. G.O.A.T.
¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯
Smash Legend
Get off Em's jock, he's not that great.
How d'you figure? How do you know Eminem's not just doing it for the money?
Like I said, he makes music. He makes GOOD music. He doesn't have the same hunger he used to have because he's not even the same artist he was back then...But he puts work into his albums.
You don't have to have respect for him, that's your prerogative. But to say that he's only in it for the money and that he's a sellout and everything is kinda ridiculous. He's not a Soulija boy...and GOOD artists respect him for a reason.

You can tell how Eminem pours his heart and soul into his music. I could list dozens of tracks where he does so.
He does make music, but nothing has soul in it.
No, he's not a Soulja Boy, but Jay-Z doesn't rap about anything close to him or what he feels. He doesn't keep it real.

Smash Lord
Cookie you are 2 sided, how can you talk about blueprint III being sell out but em's encore was just as pop if not MORE. You make 0 sense daw.
¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯
Smash Legend
Yeah cookie, you're just being a hypocrite. We don't give a **** what personal grudge you have against Jay-Z, he makes quality music.
He's really not different from Eminem at all.

Cormega, put him up there. Really surprised no Bone Thugs-n-Harmony "No Surrender." Jay-z too. Jay-z may seem weak now, but the list looks more like a who "was" great list. I don't recall some on that list ever being nice.
Bone thugs were killah in mid 90's.

How was it pop? Encore had some solid tracks like Mockingbird, Like Toy Soldiers, Encore / Curtains Down, Yellow Brick Road, etc.
Alright, I'll put him on.
Cormega should be on there.

No, I'm kinda starving right now. Let me eat and I'll listen to them.
I haven't been able to listen to all the music that I've wanted to, I have hella tests and stuff. Yup hella, represent the east bay.
No, I mean I've been posting the links to different Aesop Rock songs since the start of this thread.
But sure, understandable. Let me know what you think of them.
I have one more. Like all the ones I've already posted, this track is legit.

After I watched Freaknik on Adult Swim, it completely changed my opinion of T-Pain. I think he's the Peter Frampton of our generation.

^^ some dope artists that I didnt see in the first post
Umm, yeah, maybe we can like address real Hiphop as a whole and not just the music? Hiphop is a culture afterall
Like, I'm a bboy. For those who don't know, that's the real/true term for what the media termed "breakdancer". Bboy is a noun and a verb.
Anywho, bboying is one of the 4 elements of hiphop (other thing you should bring up- DJing, Bboying, MCing, and Graffiti -< came in that order). "Hiphop dance" (choreography stuff) is a style we see a lot today... music videos, America's Best Dance crew, etc. It started by Jazz dances who tried to learn bboying, locking, popping, w/e but didn't quite get that skilled in these styles. They took noticed that despite being at a low level of skill, what they did still impressed people... so... they tried to make money of it. It's easier, so way more people can do it... so it got way more popular then bboying.
The problem? It shouldn't be called hiphop dance if it isn't actually.... hiphop dance. Bboying is the one and only

Dynas, Skyzoo, Insight, and Thaione Davis are dope as ****. If people knew about them, some of their albums would be classics.
