Everyday Struggle Official Discussion

Do ya'll make a distinction between great and best? ... That's a good thing to keep in mind.

Cam is definitely one of the funniest rappers on or off record

This video of Dipset in London is comedy gold


You don't know how much mileage from joke me and my friends got from just an adlib when he said "Sturdy chin"

I liked the episode but there was some things they missed

They forgot about this Rap City freestyle that he killed with crazy metaphors. (I know its from the song It's Nothin with Juelz on the Hook)


I haven't seen anyone else get this but he says
Speaking of good I'm good with the semi blow wood with the Henny in the hood like a Hemi homie
Which means he smokes weed and drinks Hennessy in the hood like a dodge Hemi engine, but Dodge performance cars are under the Hennessey brand.

They kinda talked on the production but Cam has to be one of the best from a production standpoint. Dipset beats had a unique sound that stood out from what everyone else was rapping over at the time. Joe talked about slowing down the BPM but they had some crazier stuff like Santana's Town, Dipset Anthem, Ground Zero, Only One Way Up, and etc. Back then every mixtape rapper had at least one Dipset beat on their tape that they rapped over. You can definitely tell that producers like Harry Fraud, and AraabMuzik were influenced by the different sound that Dipset brought to the game.

Those are quotables that are still being brought up 15 years later. Those "nursery rhymes" Cam was dropping from 03-06 is only gonna register with certain nikkas

It's not gonna register with the Mood Muzik and Saigon crowd. Or nikkas that Stan Obie Trice because he's under Em..
I'm not saying you fall under that.

keep obie outta this... dudes one of the most underrated MCs of all time.

 

[Jim Cornette]

I hate how kendrick is talked of so highly...

nikka dropped 1 classic album, 1 classic mixtape and hes the king?

nikka has dropped 3 albums with no replay value with that annoying ass voice. i cant wait till he gets knocked off his 3foot perch.

It still going to be subjective. It is going to be hard for people even to agree on the criteria, because some people will value skill much more than impact, and vice versa. My overall point is that you can make an argument for a bunch of different MCs.

Bad analogy. Sports have actual statistic to tell you how good someone is. Music is subjective

You guys don't realize that you're undermining the entire basis of statistics in sports and in general. Those stats don't mean anything if we don't agree to abide by them. We could judge scoring champ off highest shooting percentage instead of highest ppg average. We don't. @Freebuju is telling you that these are the quantities he believes should be used and you have never said why they shouldn't. All you said is that people will disagree. People disagree about everything.

You just stated an arbitrary thing, yes the scoring leader is based off average per game but more advanced stats will say best scorers are the most efficient ones. Doesn't matter which criteria you use because again, these things that can verified and qualified. Whether you go off points or percentage it doesn't matter, they're FACTUAL assessments. You don't "feel like someone averaged 20 points a game" or "feel like they shoot 56 percent from the field" they either did or they didn't. You can't do that with quality of music. You can do it with popularity of music and that's only to an extent too. You can't tell someone factually one song or album is better than another. That's an opinion. I can FACTUALLY tell you Westbrook scored more points than Melo this year.

This fool said he's the first introvert in hip hop like he never heard of Nas

 

[ineedsleep212]

Is cam better than game?!?

That was wild blasphemous to me. Utterly ridiculous, I'm sorry.

deska>>>>riri

 

[Turbulent]

damn, seems like the show will give her a breakdown...

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

damn, seems like the show will give her a breakdown...

I like her..but she thinks way too highly of herself with her non-opinionated, soft feminist views...she can easily be replaced

 

[WhoShotCha]

Yall overrate Nadeska on here. Mentally she seems to be lacking, and physically she looks like every girl at a SZA concert.

This show would be much better if the two hosts weren't from the same place, giving the same regional perspective.

 

[NV-ME]

well, damn. joe making everyone that miserable?

She has a high ranking position at Complex, she's not just a host.
