Andre 3k SOLO

 

[Taadow]

Andre 3k SOLO

I wouldn't go so far 2 say that when I'm glad Andre dropped Love Below at the right time/way...The audience was gettin younger and money became more important than actually sayin something in a song so I can see why Dre peeped game and said see ya lol

 

[Taadow]

Cuban Link (Terror Squad)

Yeah, I thought Cuban was gonna eat. I was checkin' for 24K.

 

[R-Typ3]

Yeah I shouldnt say all his albums suck. But his discog could have been so much better than it is.

na they all sucked

I mean I guess but is there ever a consensus 5th person behind them? Sometimes 1 or 2 of those aren't even that high for some. For me personally the top 10 has always been hard to flesh out. But the thing is Mos Def probably wouldn't be in it cause his work ethic/discography doesn't allow it.

True but it's so many mc's in the game. I think that Pac Big Jay Nas argument just comes from a generalized version of Mc's. Where they just narrow it down to 4 artists that's some what versatile and possibly some of the most popular mcs with skill plus sales giving them that legendary status. Plus they come from the mid early 90'. And its more of a generalized standard. But ur right mos got some classic albums and some classic songs. That consistency messes him up. But I think he can still mop whoever.

when did he ever make a track worth listening to? If anything, I remember him squandering beats EARLY

the last time I actually got wowed by a rapper's rhymes.

Charles Hamilton

 

[raoulduke187]

DMX in terms of classic albums

if he stuck with Dame Grease and not Swizz Beatz, who knows the greatness we would've seen

You remember wrong. He was supposed to be the next great in the early 00's off the strength of Yardfather 1 & 2. I sent those tapes to people in jail they were so good.

 

[Rayzah]

the booth might be the worst hip-hop forum in existence. I mean holy shyt.

yes I am starting to see that, I mean there has been multiple mentions of method man in here, WTF are they talking about, the nikka has multiple platinum albums and a fukking grammy, what more do you want, and he is still getting small movie roles in 2015.. How did he waste his talent? and the answer is canibus, he was supposed to progress into a better overall rapper, he aint give us not one really good album not one

It's really sad. And he honestly could have at least eeked out a respectable little post label drama underground career but his last 2 albums were so trash beat wise in some pop rap ish.
