Nas Names His Top 10 Lyricists For Rolling Stone Magazine
VIsqo replied to bigted's topic in Caught in the Middle
Nicki used to be able to spit Turntable. I did some research and found some really good songs from her. But recently she has joined the group of rappers that with the help of the sound systems think they can sing, and she is nothing more than a pop artist these days. By the way, her new album, sucks! I cannot believe my wife wasted that money on that. -
Your Boy Ricky Ross lol

100 Ways to Save Hip-Hop Every year, critics get together and hold a premature funeral for hip-hop. Then, people like me are forced to write articles on why hip-hop is grossly misunderstood by mainstream America. Well, guess what? I'm tired of defending hip-hop. So, rather than defend it endlessly or declare it dead, I compiled a list of things you can do to help save the genre. These suggestions apply to artists, DJs, journalists, record labels, and fans. Pick the ones that apply to you and behave accordingly. Here are 100 things you can do to save hip-hop. 1. Stop playing the same 5 songs on the radio. 2. Stop listening to radio stations that play the same 5 songs. 3. Stop blaming Diddy. 4. Stop Diddy. 5. Stop dubbing every new jack "the next great" this and that. 6. Stop charging body parts for shows. 7. Stop fabricating feuds to sell records. 8. Stop putting Lil Wayne on every song. 9. Stop saying hip-hop is dead. 10. Stop hating Kanye for being weird. 11. More battles, less beef. 12. Stop biting Jay-Z's flow. 13. Stop biting Biggie's ad libs. 14. Stop putting weed carriers on your album. 15. Stop trying to please everyone. 16.

Stop making 50-song albums with 90% filler. 25. Stop faking the funk. 26. Stop calling people who disagree with you "haters." 27. Stop hating. 28. Stop kissing ass for favors. 29. Stop saying you miss "real" hip-hop. 30. Stop hating Jay-Z. 31. Stop saying you're carrying ___ city on your back. That's not even possible. 32. Stop acting too cool for school at concerts. 33. Stop rapping about the same three topics. 34. Stop rapping about UFOs. 35. Stop promoting sexual violence under the guise of hood reportage. 36. Stop defending misogyny. 37.

Well, he liked those songs, we cant blame him to for trying to stay current. Maybe the term is not "Lyricists" but "lyrics on a song". -

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUflgXhqr4E Latino singer Luis Miguel made one of the best Christmas albums ever compiling the most iconic American Christmas songs and having them translated to Spanish. So from all the Christmas albums Ive heard, this is my favorite.
