Is that why "Oh My God" never got released?

dude is notorious for being an ass, never smiles, calls himself allah, when nas gave him props he shytted on him, never showing up to the studio, always got a scowl on his face, said em is the greatest so he remains in favorable light to the media (history writers), said wack juelz santana is the greatest out (to appear even better) because the saying goes, if you want to be tall have short friends. ... i dont like that dude at all

overall, that's my favorite kind of rap. It takes a special kind of person to pull off some shyt like that. And this is why I fukk with Queens rap above the other boroughs (in general). It's that cerebral but somehow gutter and funky shyt.

But the key is you need a crazy beat, first and foremost, to set things off. And "Eric B is President" is one of the GOAT rap beats.

well damn.

Big Daddy Kane>>>>Rakim anyway. Rakim is one of the best to grace the mic but he lacked flow and style in his rhymes, which BDK brought to the game.

On another note...I liked Juel and didn't mind the cosign on that Mic Check video.

Sure plus I assume this was when he had just released Paid in Full so he was red hot at the time.

Yeah seems like he took himself a little too seriously

I think nas was about to suffer a similar fate but he humbled himself at some point along the way
