lol @ my man re: his humpty/shock g revelation. hilarious.
aiight….so here are a few of my own:
i think lil’ wayne is HORRIBLE. i know. i know. listen…i’ve tried…repeatedly. at some point i even became obsessed with wanting to understand how he somehow convinced the entire world that he was (uuugh…) the “best rapper alive”. so i listened (more like studied). and yet…i still walked away with the same conclusion EVERY time. he sux.1
i’ve always thought that both kool moe dee and canibus kinda ethered l.l. cool j. in their respective battles with him. 2
speaking of…i never thought that nas’ “ether” was that great of a diss record (i always thought the song was “beneath him” “out of character” for him as an artist..3
while i am an absolute fan of them as a unit, i can’t stand to hear most of the wu tang clan rhyme as solo artists. in fact, out of the 9 original members, i only rock with 2 (eh…maybe 3) of them. tops.4
(cringes…) again…i’m a fan. however…i’ve always thought that 2pac was just an average emcee [read: lyricist] at best. 5
i’ll stop right here (before i get internet jumped by a bunch of cyber-thugs). i’ll add more as they come to me.
footnotes:
1. coincidentally, i feel the same way about pretty much every rapper/emcee with the word lil’ in their name (except lil’ fame. EM DOT OH DOT PEE…OOOOOH!)
2. if my homeboy don p. is reading this: ok. i FINALLY admitted it. 22 years later. what can i say? i was young then. couldn’t get past the corny shades and tight leather suits.
3. “[i] don’t believe you, you need more people.”(?)
4. why does that feel almost blasphemous to type out loud?
