About any aspect. In the past it would be obvious due to hindsight but how about now?

In before someone says....

Smarten up Nas lol

I'd say to Jay Z that he's super rich and he's gonna be straight forever. But if he really wants that extra love from the Hip Hop community if he made a pure Hip Hop album (could still be successful with the right singles) he could massively stake his claim even better as the greatest. Even the so called Jay haters would have to give him dap and maybe even change their mind because the album would be so dope, if you think about it he has the money to get nearly any production or features he wants, he could make a super dream album with his capabilities and he could change the course of HIp Hop and music in a positive way. He's at the level to do that.

I'd say to Kanye, I know your an artist and artistic but your loosing a lot of fans by doing experimental things that aren't working. When you came in the game you were a breathe of fresh air, now a lot of people are looking at you weird, you used to stand for something and your music meant something, look at yourself now, you've become a materialistic charecterure of yourself, make some meaningful shyt again, your mother was a black panther.

I'd say to Canibus, you are one of the all time greats, and lyrically one of the greatest of all time, a lot of people hated after that notebook shyt, I don't even know what was going on there but it's done now fukk it. Just come back and make the best album of your career, the best Hip Hop album you can and prove people wrong and put yourself back where you should be again in the Hip Hop communities minds.

KRS-One, you need to drop that album with Premier lol.

AZ, don't retire man, the game needs you, Hip Hop needs you, there's a lot of people that love your music, Do Or Die 2 can help bring you back to more attention, look what Raekwon's sequel did for him.

Dr Dre, don't drop Detox unless it's gonna be that ill shyt, groundbreaking or just undeniably dope, you did it with the two Chronic albums. Bring back everyone you need for the right formula and make it happen, and if you wanna go out, go out with an almighty bang on top.

Kool Moe Dee, your last book was dope, why don't you do an updated version? That would be interesting. Even if it's in a few years or something, we'd like to read that. What about the greatest groups book you were gonna do?

Grandmaster Caz, you should go and drop an album, some of these younger cats don't know how dope you were/are because there isn't that much recorded body of work album wise easily available.

i'd tell MASE to stop looking for a record deal and just the take the role of a GHOSTWRITER...his talents are needed and it's lucrative

i'd tell various members of the WU i.e (ghost, rae, meth, masta killa) to take their show dough from all those European shows they do and BUY THEMSELVES OUT OF ANY REMAINING OBLIGATION they got to SLAVEMASTER RZA ...each WU MEMBER have enough equity and significance within themselves to be their OWN BRAND.....time to say FUKK THE "WU-COLLECTIVE DREAM" rza has sold them and just do it DOLO

I'd tell FREDDIE GIBBS to shut his monkey a$$ up and stop complaining about Jeezy and other rappers and just MAKE MUSIC THAT SPEAKS TO THE PEOPLE

i'd tell DMX to just go KILL HIMSELF and stop wasting his fans and his family time..cause he was never meant to be shyt....we will just eat off his legacy

i'd tell FRENCH MONTANA to stop with the FREE MAX B campaign it's just exploitation....as Jack Thriller said..."dat nicca ain't never coming home"

i'd tell LIL BOOSIE to move out of Louisiana and just relocate to ATL and get with T.I.G management and promotions (tinidad james, rich homie) since ATL is a good market and business area for boosie and he can start over...and network their

i'd tell DRAKE to just be a real dude and let the WEEKEND do his thang ...even if it isn't with the YMCMB brand.....

Chris Rivers, your ill and talented, all you got to do is work on your breathe control and the skies the limit for you. Holla at some of the people your Dad fukked with hard to work with them to build a bigger buzz and use some of the connections. I know your mum and Fat Joe got issues but if there's any way this could be resolved then try do that cause Joe has crazy connections you could massively utilize, if the situation is irreparable I understand cause blood is thicker than water but if not would be mutually beneficial to squash it and get money together. Just work on making songs when you do an album cause rhyme wise and technically you have the ability, just make great songs while keeping your essence.

I would tell Little Brother to get back together

I would tell Kurupt to rap like a Philly dude with a Cali twist again

I would tell Lloyd Banks to only work with big time producers on his next album

I'd tell Lil Ugly Mane to keep rapping

I'd tell Prodigy to rap faster and more enthusiastically

I'd tell Prodigy, your probably a good dude inside, just try stop being slick so much, don't help with business. Your a legend and a great MC, just keep making that raw street shyt and people will feel it, give us those Mobb Deep classics and some solo classics. You have lived an extremely interesting life, rap about those experiences creatively and have the street subject matter but just be creative with it.
