Jay-Z is not top 5 !

[mobbinfms]

I agree the quality of his work hasn't always been consistent but his presence in the game has never been questioned. He's never had to make a comeback album

That's true.
Although you gotta question the audience on KG, BP3 and his last album.

If you love storytelling, bars and concepts he gives that in spades on most of the projects.

"Boring" is such a CAC conjecture term, users like that mean "Their music simply doesn't APPEAL to me in that style", can't be that boring if a Rap artist has millions of fans still playing their music as we speak.

I see your point though

You dead on the money about boring.

 

[mobbinfms]

was more organic but to the extent you could call it a classic as cemented as you would Illmatic or something?

No but that's a straw man.

And besides a classic implies a sense of development over time and RD over time has developed more of a classic appeal than IWW (usually considered the superior album at least) whether 'forced' or not.

I don't know that RD is Cleary considered the better album.

Maybe because its the consensus People that tend to leave those guys out are try to hard to be different ass nikkas.

Or maybe their tastes just different? Thats suppose to be my top 5 jus cause its everyone elses

He's better than Nas and Big for sure.

He's in the realm of Pac and Scarface.

Cube is in another dimension though. GOAT.

Better than Biggie? Lol...Jay Z has been great but he wouldn't be the man he is if BIG was alive or had DMX was able to keep it together.

I got a question...who is Eminem's top 5? I know he has answered that before.

 

[mobbinfms]

How? What makes him the better rapper?

You said it. Cube released classic after classic after 4 mic (or higher worthy) album and so on until 1996. If it wasn't for his film career who knows how far he would have gone...and btw these are genre defining classics that transcend the music not just some purist paradise for literary arts.

Nas' discography is just a roller coaster and mainly flat. So how exactly is Nas better?

When I say better rapper, I'm not talking discography.

 

[mobbinfms]

Sorry Breh

 

[mobbinfms]

@Deucage see above

 

[mobbinfms]

Is something not making sense to you, breh?
Perhaps you misunderstood my posts.

You wouldn't take a top 5 with Big, PAC, Jay and Nas seriously?

 

[mobbinfms]

Better than NONE of them and we can run thru it tomorrow...


so lacklustre and boring it's unbelievable

and largely as Vlad alluded to (despite his retardation largely) because his ear for beats is disgusting

 

[mobbinfms]

Why people keep putting Cube over better lyricist i'll never understand

His first two albums Breh

You wouldn't take a top 5 with Big, PAC, Jay and Nas seriously?

I didn't say that.
My point was, they don't have to be in everybody's top 5 since music is subjective.
Having that demand is just stupid.

He's better than Nas and Big for sure.

He's in the realm of Pac and Scarface.

Cube is in another dimension though. GOAT.

Everything you just said is bullshyt
