Well it's sorta bad timing since Eminem just put a new album out and Will hasn't put anything out in 4 years, the kids go with who's hot now unfortunately, a lot of these kids now just know Will as the box office king
Immortal Technique, Paris, Jean Grae, J-Live, and Abstract Rude are a few more dope mcs that come to mind, and yes I think we're pretty objective here on this board so we should keep Will on the list just to see what happens

Yeah you can't argue against "Big Willie Style"'s promotion, it sold 10 million albums, and "Miami"'s definately one of those great songs to bump in the summer.
Hey Tim props for that dude, you got a lot of dope vids there, i really notice lots of peeps show love to JJFP on youtube, nice to see that real music's still alive out there
Yeah Canibis really brought LL's hunger to a real high level, I found on Youtube that LL's "The Truth" song on KaySlay's 2004 album was originally a freestyle on a 2002 KaySlay mixtape done over Jay-Z' "Dead Presidents" beat, this is real sick!:

There's another freestyle LL did in 2001 on a Funkmaster Flex mixtape that's real hot too, he's rapping over Fat Joe and Beanie Siegal tracks that were out at that time:

Busta Rhymes Feat. Big Tigger "If You Don't Know, Now You Know", real creative track, I love Busta gets at all the critics:

Wow what an amusing rap battle that'd be, lol, Eminem's washed up and Nick Cannon sucks on the mic too even though he's a cool dude, I find it funny how Eminem realises he can't beat Will Smith in a battle so he picks on the Will Smith wannabe Nick Cannon
