  1. I gave an 8! I really enjoyed it showing how he could rock any party!
  2. Definately! I really like this video! And I think a lot of the public will as well!
  3. Pushed but does not supercede Ems. Remember I'm talking purely technical here
  4. I read that in a state in America, its illegal to have sex with a virgin!! I seriously did read it!
  5. Ok....I gotta a question. I'm talking purely technical here.....not personal preference. Do u think that Will Smith has a more complicated rhyme scheme and metaphor use than Em. And I'm talking about the old one, not from 'The Eminem Show' onwards. You guys know how much of a fan I am of JJFP but I think you'd be playing yourselves if you agree otherwise! :willvspaparazzi:
  6. They were 2 of the 1st platinum rappers, if they didn't have success Eminem wouldn't blow up, gotta pay respect to those who opened the doors and were the originators, you know Em musta studied those albums along with "He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper" :lolsign: . That "Slim Shady LP" was probably Em's best commercial effort but I wouldn't call it game changing either, I don't think people are gonna say that it is years later like they do with "Paid In Full". Beastie Boys' "Licensed To Ill" also changed the game since they were the 1st rap artists to have a triple platinum LP, the 1st white rap artists to blow up commercially, it had a unique punk rock/rap sound to it that was never done before. BDP's "Criminal Minded" was KRS-ONE's most known album, his only platinum album, it was co-produced by the late great Scott LaRock, they put political minded hip-hop on the map. A few more game changing albums I say would be Fugees' "The Score", Wyclef's "The Carnival", and Lauryn Hill's "Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill", these were the albums that were an alternative to the gangsta rap in the mid-90s and brought back hip-hop versatility. Queen Latifah's "Black Reign" was the most successful album by any female rapper and the way she flowed on that album showed that she's one of the greatest rappers ever, male or female. Dr. Dre's "The Chronic" changed the game, maybe for the worst some might say, but regardless was artistic genious, a lot of gangsta rap artists came along since tryin' to immitate that but can't put up the genius that Dre did there. Now as far as Jay-Z, I think "Blueprint" is a lil' overrated, I think his best commercial effort was "Volume 2: Hard Knock Life", that's the album I'd say is his best after "Reasonable Doubt", this is when Jay-Z was on top of his game in my opinion, so many different styles on that album. I'm gonna say that Common's "Like Water For Chocolate" was one of the game changing albums in recent years, it's still his most successful album so I gotta make a case for this one, he brought a lot of soul there and his lyricism was top notch. Nas' "It Was Written" and "Stillmatic" both changed the game too, you could say "Illmatic" but it wasn't commercially successful. ← I'm not denying that Ted, but who do you seriously think the people of today would know more and be more familiar with the works of?? Em or Slick rick/rakim?? :stickpoke:
  7. But Em is more commercially viable than rakim and slick rick. Therefore causing more people to stand up and notice.
  8. I think The Slim Shady LP changed a few things as well. I reckon a lot of (not all) rappers realised that they can't just come out with these simple one rhyme lyrics. They realised that people, like Em were spitting complex rhyme patterns and clever metaphors, so therefore they had to up their game.
  9. The Japenese version of the album has completely different songs on it! I wanna see if I can get it!
  10. Kanye West feat Brandy - Bring Me Down I'm really feeling this track
  11. Its not that bad! It will get to all the channels we want! Its just that AOL is the first place it'll be shown! Thats all!
  12. Your never gonna get to 2000!! :lolsign:
  13. you know what....I might just do that!! Cheers Tim! :thumbsup:
  14. I'm gonna try! Hopefully i can get close enough to Jeff to chat or something! SERIOUSLY doubt it tho!!
  15. There are ways to get around situations like that. If you don't have a credit card, a lot of places take PayPal. Its really easy to set up and use. Or just regular old cash! If your wheelchair is too small to get into the shop, then ask somebody else to but it for you. Family, friends etc. You don't need to go and download it because of that
  16. At least you know a release date now! But u still have a whole month to wait! Goodness knows when the UK will get it? :hmm:
  17. So much of a fan that you'd steal from him?? :daveuidiot:
