Most of hip hops pioneers were enormous sell outs doing whatever they could to go mainstream. Jiggy era was the work finally paying off

Master P, for his entrepreneurial spirit alone, belongs with the Gods of the culture

Although a classic, Killuminati 7 Day Theory has relatively weak production and you can tell it is an unrefined project due to Pac's sudden death.

Kendrick Lamar's a dope artist and maybe the best to emerge in the last 5-6 years, but he's overrated and the "rap savior" shtick is kinda forced by people in and outside of TDE/Interscope, including Dot himself. *listens to corny Pac interview at the end of TPAB* :snoop:

The South still running mainstream rap (y'all :umad:) but a lot of nikkaz stopped trying after 2009 :ld:

Rozay might have a top 10 catalog when it's all said and done. :whew:

Lupe Fiasco is a GOAT level MC, top 5 DOA :hubie:

Spitta and KRIT are dope but they make the same projects over and over again :manny:

Agree with a lot of this post except the Makaveli production but the bolded shouldn't get you negged at all part of the reason it was the main reason I stopped fukking with KRIT. Spitta at least has SKI or ALC in his pockets to keep him sounding fresh. Kendrick definitely my favorite rapper in the past five years fukk with DAMN heavy but shyt like Rosenberg saying he's the greatest living is a bit much let dude get some more albums and some decades before we do this, please.

The average white rap fan has a greater respect for hiphop as an artform and probably a more expanded pallette than your average black fan who listens to whoever popping.

I also believe this...one of my old rhyme partners was an Italian chick and she knew her shyt inside and out plus could spit crazy.
