Kanye West is hip-hop, I'm gonna definately buy his album now, I don't give a damn that he could be overconceited sometimes 'cause he's the only mc out there on the scene besides Will that actually has heart to speak his mind for all of us, KRS ain't being heard right now by many so somebody has to say something, I'm sure a lot of us feel the same way I know I do, people are outraged, just turn on the TV and you'll see it for yourself, Kanye won me over as a fan he's got heart! :thumbsup:

F*** Billboard, like Redman said on "How High", "F*** a billboard slot/you musta paid for your Billboard spot" and he's right that's what wack rappers do, the streets got Will's back!

I just typed up another verse to this in less than 10 minutes, I just needed to get my emotion out when I just had "Tell Me Why" on repeat: Verse Four: (Written In September 2005 due to Hurricane Katrina) Many people have lost labor from the hurricane So we ain't in no mood to celebrate labor day This is a message from mother nature that we need to change our ways We can't treat other like strangers, we don't need a president that closes his eyes like we're slaves I'm not biting my tongue, I lift my fist in a rage Like Chuck D just said “Hell No, We Ain't All Right” and like Will Smith asks, “Tell Me Why The F*** Can't Love Seem To Defeat Hate?” In this life we all got parts on the stage I wish that I was president just for this one day So things could get done the right way The gas prices are going up and I'm receiving much lower pay Like Run-Dmc I wanna lead the people to “Walk This Way” I see my mama start crying from we saw on TV today It feels like these are our relatives that're going through this state Of caious this seems more like a horror movie than a reality Living in this world of greed is like feeling like feeses That're going down a dumpster, I ain't letting them murder me “The Message” from Melle Mel is represented through me I see the broken glass everywhere, I wanna do something about it 'cause I care I'm not trying to be an a**hole I just want to make that clear It feels like we're all dying of cancer and we're all overcome with fear So this moment as I stand I wanna beat my drum loud so you could hear And for all the victims we lost I take a moment of silence and shed a tear I dedicate my fight for y'all, till I die I'm gonna do the best as I can as a citizen to make sure to help my peeps stand tall"

What's up y'all I wrote this song over 3 years ago but I figure it's relevant now to what's going on with Hurricane Katrina, I might add another verse on here today about what I wish I could do to deal with this tragedy. "President 4 A Day" Written By Big Ted In the Spring of '02 Verse One: When I was growing up I wasn't too convinced That I wanted to run for president 'Cause I'm not too big on politics Most of it's propoganda that's not convinced Here's another thing that I'm linking Back to a song I wrote a couple months back 'bout voting I could see why some older folks doubt voting They start to realize that who they voted for ain't reppin' And that could get depressing I sometimes feel like doin' something But I know that politics are crooked Lying to my people, I can't do it I would look like a sell-out who's screwing And that **** will come back to me Bein' a politician is somethin' I won't do, see There could be one thing that I could try That might actually work out right I could use this rhyme To stimulate some minds In the Washington congress This rap **** that I'm doin' can show that I mean buisiness I don't have to write a letter Like Run-Dmc said, "The rap speech reaches the streets much better" If I write a rhyme that righteous now It might just convince how Chorus: I can be president 4 a day So I can represent my peeps I can be president 4 a day So I can express problems in the streets I can be president 4 a day So I can give the homeless food to eat That's why I want to be president 4 a day If I'm president 4 a day I know that I can help many ways Verse Two: I'm not asking for much The is just that I want To see how bein' a president can be tough I'm ready to sweat and get rough I have to hold down America and represent thoro From the suburban to urban burroghs The ones that don't know hip-hop never heard of me so It's not for my benefit I'm out to give the average folks credit They do a lot of work with no merit For the sake of others To live more elevated and confortable In the 'hood it's a constant struggle You don't know 'bout food for tomorrow Like Nas said, “We destroy and rebuild but we gotta have unity” Right dog, that's true indeed Rich people who were never poor can't relate to me I'm not real real poor, but I ain't gonna be rich until I drop my CD, so right now I'm in between Anyways, I'll push real hard in my 24 hours To take the charge for the poor people to get more powers Bills on education and decent health care The homeless can't be treated like garbage They still need at least a place to stay and some welfare Until they could get themselves a job That's another thing, these companies shouldn't treat 'em like slobs Even though they're homeless, they should have an opportuntity to find jobs 'Cause I know that they want to get on their feet so they won't be slobs Big Ted will push for these jobs No propoganda, I'll push in my time to get it solved [Repeat Chorus] Verse Three: I'll be working hard with no breaks Maybe I'll have a quick pop tart and some frosted flakes But then I'll cut right to the chase To prove that I'm not lookin' for special treatment today Now that I have this day It's important that I deliver what I say I don't want to be considered a fake There are records that I'm trying to break It's not a presidential compaign I'll be at constant work, no play Maybe I might be considered a presidential great Even though I'll only be there for a single day Reality shows that I ain't for that lil' chase I have to work at a constant pace 'Till the last minute of the day I have to get down to somethin' that effects this country I want to get all up in this homeland security To make sure that we keep this land at purity We can't all go out like dummies America can't just stumble to these chemicals When it comes to protecting America I can't just settle y'all Or else everyone in the nation will be dead And it'll be a proclamation of victory for the terrorists Believe me America, you won't die on the day of the reign of Big Ted as president 'Cause when it comes to America, I'm 100% patriotic Terrorist bitches, I'm putting a stop to your **** If y'all f*** with America and President Big Ted It'll be a bust in your area when y'all are dead [Repeat Chorus 'Til End]

It's nice to see you pouring the emotion into what you wrote there, I could feel it, keep ya head up dawg!

Yeah this song feels like I wrote it yesterday, it's like I saw kids in my high school tryin' to be somebody else that they weren't and I felt like I needed to address that, I always try to be who I am and not change who I am, thanks for the feedback!

:word: AJ there's too many Kanye topics here that's why I pinned that one topic before but anyways as much as I think he's overrated as a rapper I gotta admit that it took a lot of balls to say what he said and I give him props for that, I don't see 50 Cent sayin' or doing anything so far, people are sick and hungry over in New Orleans and it took 4 days before Bush started doing s*** about it, what kind of president is this? He's f****n' up our image to the whole world, this isn't what America's leader should act like, this ain't a 3rd world country.

I think LL should do a movie with FP too one day, LL'd be a nice addition for "Bad Boys 3" btw :lolsign: The one thing I like about LL is that he could make a song anything just like FP except he adds his own flava to it, it'd definately be interesting if they did a track together and what it'd sound like. :woowoo:

Chuck D wrote a song about Hurricane Katrina, I posted it in Caught In The Middle, I say Will should definately get Chuck D on the "Tell Me Why" remix now, we need 2 powerful voices getting together in times like these, in fact a better idea would be for Will to get together with a whole bunch of conscious rappers get together and record a song and donate the money to the victims of this tragic Hurricane and it could be called "Self Destruction 2005" 'cause this truly is a self-destruction here! :shake:

What's up y'all I found this song posted on PE.com in the Enemyboard that was inspired from Hurricane Katrina, he said he's planning on record it so check out for the audio y'all, this could bring PE back on the scene again! :chuks: : "My baddd ....i seem to read more post less, because i been in a 2 year whirl-wind of getting things geared for a 3-5 year run.....I was inspired to write it after talking to my father on the phone this morning as he was headed to SC..he was soooo pissed and cursing the SOB prez out about this...so its inspiration from my pops , no doubt. Wrote it in 45 minutes..., Working on it tonight." "HELL NO, WE AINT ALLRIGHT New Orleans in the morning, afternoon, and night Hell NO, we Aint Allright Now all these press conferences breakin news alerts this just in while your government looks for a war to win flames from the blame game, names? where do i begin? walls closin in get some help to my kin Who cares? while the rest of the bushnation stares as the drama unfolds as we the people under the stares 50% of this son of a bush nation is like hatin on haiti an settin up assasinations ask Pat Robertson- quiz him..... ...smells like terrorism. racism in the news still one sided news saying whites find food prey for the national guard ready to shoot cause them blacks loot New Orleans in the morning, afternoon, and night Hell NO, we Aint Allright Fires , earthquakes, tsunamis i dont mean to scare wasnt this written somewhere? disgraces all i see is black faces moved out to all these places emergency state corpses, alligators and snakes big difference between this haze and them diamonds on the VMAs we better look whats really important under this sun especially if you over 21 this aint no tv show this aint no video this is really real beyond them same ol 'keep it real' quotes from them Tv stars drivin big rim cars 'streets be floodin, 'b' no matter where you at, no gas driving is a luxury urgency state of emergency shows somebodys government is far from reality....

:lolsign: Well the impact of "He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper" lead to the "Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air" but if you really wanna get technical Run-Dmc, Kurtis Blow, and LL Cool J were the 1st actors 'cause they did "Krush Groove" where they just played themselves but still they were the first ones. :stickpoke:

That's right the "Parents Just Don't Understand" video inspired "The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air", that was groundbreaking, it opened the doors for LL's sitcom "In The House" to take off Turntable, as much as I love LL too I gotta admit that FP opened doors for him too but then again Will sampled LL on "Brand New Funk" so it's all love! :thumbsup:

That suit's probably worth a lot of money though 'cause "MIIB" was a huge movie, I hope it raises a lot to help them out, nice to hear Will giving back, this ain't a contest over what celebrity gives the most as long as they give something! :word:

I wouldn't mind Gangstarr went on tour with JJFP one day! :yeah:

The "He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper" track is one of the greatest battle songs of all-time, if Will makes another song like this with Jazzy he could end Eminem's career! :willvspaparazzi: I think only Rakim could contest with FP at that time. "Rhythm Trax-House Party Style" is game changing, it displays why Jazzy's the greatest DJ of all-time. I stand by saying that the punchlines in "He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper" are better than Eminem's punchlines throughout his whole career, I wonder why he'd consider opening his mouth in the 1st place to diss Will if he heard this when he growing up?! I think that's the reason why he's in rehab right now. :sick: 30 million+ sold and winning the first rap Grammy proves that Will really does own the whole rap industry! :word: : "My rhymes have been written, not to be bitten But as it seems, some suckers keep forgettin the rules about rappin, but that's alright Cause in the next five minutes I'ma have them all uptight Stronger than a dinosaur, better known than Santa Man -- the battles I battle, I usually win em in -- less than a minute, but it all depends on how long -- it takes you rappers to realize that tryin to defend yourself, is ridiculous Didn't you get my message inside of the question cause you're toys boys, I'm the Real McCoy I'm really gonna enjoy seein you destroyed If I was Fred Flintstone, I'd probably own all of Bedrock If I was a criminal I'd probably own a cellblock If I was in the Navy I would own the sea but I'm a +POET+ so I own the whole rap industry I'm like a lion my man, and the streets are my den It's either kill or be killed, so I kill I kill again and again and again The X amount of times, rappers I'll slaughter them I tie em up and throw them in the water then I'll just walk away like no-thin ever happened until somebody else starts rappin That's when I snap and I'll attack and go mad like Rambo or maybe like Commando, or like Lando Calrissian, cause you know he was down with the Force Fresh Prince is the source I feel no pain or remorse Think that you can beat me rappin man you must be silly Man I really really really really really really hate when people, doubt my ability And I have to prove superiority If rap was basketball, I would be in luck Cause everytime I freestyled it would be a slam dunk MAN, I'm the engineer, and you're the passangers Takin on a voyage, a hip-hop massacre The Jason of rap, Freddy Kruger of rhymin And I'm sure that you'll see in due time man People will run, to Philadelphia Pennsylvania to all join in, to this Fresh Prince mania My face in magazines, on your radio or stereo Everywhere you go, audio and video A hip-hop terrorist, war like vocalist Other rappers say, "Yo Prince why don't you show me this style now," you must be trippin It ain't no way in hell I'ma let you put your lip in my rhyme cause it's a timebomb, I'm not kiddin My rhyme explodes the second it gets bitten I'm quick and nimble, a status symbol I shop at Macy's now but I used to shop at Gimble's I'll, drop kick a hurricane, bodyslam a tidal wave Walk through a tornado, or a volcano But I'll be OK though And here's some more info that you rappers should know You are the bombs and I will defuse you I am the lawyer and I'm goin to accuse you of the ultimate rhyme crime, and you will be guilty There's no way that you'll ever ever defeat beat me rappin any time of day Pop so much trash, man I can't wait to be face to face, and hear Jeff say, "Sick 'em" Man you're gonna be my victim You better duck, and pray for good luck Chuck, cause you're stuck You're like a Thanksgiving turkey and it's time to be plucked I see you're nervous purpose that's how I now you're soft You're runnin round like a chicken with your head cut off But just relax my power to the max And I'm cuttin no slack on this rap track, Jack So back up, as if you got good sense OR FEEL THE FURY.. of the Prince! And ya don't stop Yo Jazzy, why don't you rock up the spots Yo Jazzy, hey Jeff I'm psyched, I'm psyched Give em a cut Jeff'

It's obvious that Will doesn't pay for people to write him good reviews like wack commercial rappers do! :stickpoke:

I thought I remember you making a post before about "Switch" being a good single? :stickpoke: :lolsign: I don't know if pop radio is gonna play this as much as "Switch" but I wouldn't be surprised if black radio gave it some, at this point Will could use all the street cred he could get, well it's not like 50's singles have substance either though. :willvspaparazzi:

The Bulls resigned Tyson Chandler for 6 years, I'm happy, they'll be playing Miami in Eastern Finals! :yeah: "Chandler, Bulls reach 6-year deal September 2, 2005 BY BRIAN HANLEY Staff Reporter Advertisement Tyson Chandler likely will be wearing a Bulls uniform for years to come after the 7-1 forward/center agreed to a long-term contract with the team Thursday night. "I'm ecstatic that this contract is done,'' Chandler said in a statement released by the team. "To know that I will be in Chicago for the next six years is definitely a dream. Since I've been in Chicago, the city has been my home, and it feels so good to go home.'' Chandler's six-year guaranteed deal is believed to be worth about $64 million, terms similar to the contract that the Philadelphia 76ers recently agreed to with Samuel Dalembert, 24, whose statistics compare to those of Chandler, 22. Chandler averaged eight points, 9.7 rebounds and 1.68 blocked shots last season. The Bulls likely sweetened the guaranteed money with incentive clauses that could increase the contract's value. "We've been fairly close for a week or so,'' general manager John Paxson said of his talks with agent Jeffrey Schwartz. "We just have to iron out some of the details, and it won't be official until Tyson passes his physical. But this is obviously great news for our team.'' Schwartz did not return a telephone message seeking comment, but in a statement released by the Bulls, he said: "This is the outcome we were working toward. Chicago is a great city, and John is taking the team in the right direction.'' Chandler, who was a restricted free agent, reportedly was hoping for more guaranteed money. But he was unable to coax another team into tendering an offer sheet, which the Bulls would have had the right to match. That gave the appearance that the Bulls had the leverage in contract talks. "The whole leverage thing, it's a difficult thing to gauge,'' Paxson told the Sun-Times on Tuesday. "I try not to even look at it like we have leverage because I want Tyson to be back here. "I've tried to look at this all along and say, 'We obviously value Tyson. We acknowledge that because of his size and athletic ability, he's a valuable player.' So I've approached the negotiations that way.'' Paxson's next priority is to re-sign center Eddy Curry, also a restricted free agent. Paxson met with agent Leon Rose on Tuesday to begin talks in earnest on a new contract. The deal likely would be for only one guaranteed year because of difficulties finding insurance for Curry, who was sidelined by an irregular heartbeat late last season. "We talked about if there was a way to do something,'' Paxson said Tuesday. "Again, we're just in the beginning stages of this thing. You look at how long this thing with Tyson [had] gone on, and Leon and I have just started on Eddy. There are a lot of issues to work through with Eddy.''

LL's the closest thing to FP, that's why he's one of my favorites, I think FP's a great battle rhymer too, I don't think there's many out there that could compete with him, he'd end Eminem's gimmick career if they battled for real the same way that LL knocked out Cannibus, I want him to release "Mr. Nice Guy" to get the battle started! :stickpoke:

I came up with a list of 25 albums that have impacted the industry either by selling a lot or were an influence to today's rappers like Big Daddy Kane, Kurtis Blow, Sugarhill Gang, and Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five, most of them I listed are from the golden era but once ever other year or so now there's one or two albums that come out to keep the art of hip-hop alive on the scene: 25 Albums that've impacted the hip-hop industry (1980-1993, The Golden Era) Sugar Hill Gang “Sugar Hill Gang” Grandmaster Flash and Furious Five "The Message" Kurtis Blow “Kurtis Blow” Run-DMC “Raising Hell” BDP “Criminal Minded” Beastie Boys “Licensed To Ill” Eric B. and Rakim “Paid In Full” Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince “He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper” Slick Rick “The Great Adventures Of Slick Rick” NWA “Straight Outta Compton” Public Enemy “It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back” MC Hammer “Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em” LL Cool J “Mama Said Knock You Out” Ice Cube “Amerikka's Most Wanted” Dr. Dre “The Chronic” Queen Latifah “Black Reign” Big Daddy Kane “Long Live The Kane” (1994-2005, Post-Golden Era) Biggie “Ready To Die” Jay-Z “Volume 2: Hard Knock Life” Snoop Doggy Dogg “Doggystyle” Nas “It Was Written” DMX “It's Dark And Hell Is Hot” Wu-Tang Clan “Enter The 36 Chambers” Outkast “Stankonia” Honorable Mentions: Salt N Pepa “Very Necessary” and Big Pun “Capital Punishment”, Other Classics That Didn't Impact The Industry but have street cred and have sold at least a respectable 200,000: Nas "Illmatic", Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince "Code Red", LL Cool J "G.O.A.T.", Possibility Impact: Will Smith "Lost and Found"(If "Tell Me Why" comes out it could change the game)

What up y'all I've been digging through my book of rhymes and came across this song called "Personalities" I wrote about 3 years ago, check it out : "Personalties" Written By Big Ted Verse One: I shouldn't doubt who I am I should be proud of who I am I shouldn't let the world decide how I'm a man 'Cause not out for my benefit If I don't shout out a care in it I need to be showin' how I'm now winnin' When I don't hold myself back Measuring myself against what others done is wack I'm not trying to boast at all I'm just trying to hold on tall That's what my personality is made of I got that energy to stay up My plot is specifically built to play tough Even if I gain victory, others will still say stuff But I have to ignore that I can't hold back I ask myself: why do I keep rappin'? It's a task in itself, but maybe it's also a deep passion It's not about the cash or the wealth, if I had it Or not I'd see myself still keep rappin' I can't get weaker When I nod my head to the speaker I like the hardcore beats When I rhyme, my heart pumps more beats That's how I feel, you n'ah mean For me rap's real, it's my freedom of speech It's in my... Chorus: Personality We all have one Personality Is who we are and where we came from Personality I'm glad I have my own Personality Verse Two: Yo, it's hard 'cause of the propaganda Y'all try to be stars so the world will stand ya You can't see far with the ill demandings It's hard to find the will of understanding That you can't be who that person is You can find that to be hurting 'Cause you can't recognise that you're a unique person You don't have to compete with the other person You ain't gonna win all the time Nobody in the game's gonna win all the time You have to find what you're good at You can't hold your word bac You have to show the world your own stand On how you feel 'bout situations On how you deal around confrontations On how you're real now on demonstrations When you display your creation Represent your way to the nation Don't get afraid to be accepted Give your say and you'll be respected Do somethin' that your people will be proud of Doin' nothin' looks weaker, you got to be found tough We ain't all gonna be famous So it's important to know that there's other ways to get your say in Don't feel that your life is wasted Just be yourself, nobody can replace... [Repeat Chorus] Verse Three: As the years go on It's get more clear to roll on Ain't no time to fear, you gotta flow strong You watch time pass on And you see that you lose loved ones Due to the fact that time don't stand still Remember that time could run out, before all your plans are fullfilled You have to keep the good memories In order to be in the world surviving All the hurt comes rising It's important to hold on to what's positive A lot of nonsense makes everythin' far from positve You gotta make some sense to create some knowledge Even if you have money for college You can't worry 'bout it We ain't gonna all be millionaires It's more important to have the will to share And respect that we won't always agree Let's not bring violence into degree Let's stop the violence when we disagree There's too many people in this world That can be on my nerves Not everyone will like me And my personality I can't let 'em overwhelm me I don't wanna bring drama on my family And act around 'em all pissy That's wack and doesn't represent me Life's too short for me to change Into something that'll make me look strange I need to be myself and I'll be ok That's right, I love my...[Repeat Chorus]

Dizze Rascals`Album(!)s,The Albums of The Anti Pop Consortium(!) are veery original! ← They weren't popular though so they didn't impact the industry! ← Ofcourse they did..Just not the mainstream.. But i actualy didn`t mean that..You said after The Chronic there wasn something original..Well thats not true caus they where original! And if you want some exsamples from Mainstream Albums who where Original then listen to Beastie Boys Hello Nasty or The Wutang Clans 36 Chambers! ← I think the Beastie Boys' one album that changed the game was "Licensed To Ill" although "Hello Nasty" is a great album too, I never heard Wu-Tang Clan's "36 Chambers" but I'd say that they probably are the most original since '93, it's hard to think of anybody else no matter how dope they were! :damnyou: There was never a group out with so many rappers that has had the success that they've had even though there's Hieroglyphics but I think that hip-hop magazines would list "36 Chambers" higher than "'93 Till Infinity", just like there's no DJ-MC duo like JJFP that has had a lot of success although there's Gangstarr and Pete Rock and CL Smooth that was obviously influenced but they never had JJFP success but have a lot of street credability in the hip-hop circle but wouldn't get ranked as high as JJFP are on mainstream hip-hop lists, I think Busta Rhymes reminds me of Will Smith too 'cause his videos are animated and he's a great performer, he might be a step above everybody recently too when it comes to being innovative, a lot of double albums have been made but I'd say only 'All Eyez On Me' could compete with the strength of "He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper", I think "Street's Disciple" and "Blueprint 2: Gift and Curse" have their down moments, the "Speakerboxx/Love Below" might be the most successful one but it's nowhere near as good as "He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper" and there's other better Outkast albums too it was like their "Big Willie Style" that got them more suburban fans.

If Jazzy Jeff produces the entire next album for Will I think it could sound innovative, Jazzy's beats are always a refreshing sound and a step above everyone else that produces! :yeah: btw, I think a lot of the beats on "BE" were boring, I think Common's flow was the only thing that kept the album entertaining, he should get Questlove and DJ Premiere and quit ****ing with Kanye. I think that R. Kelly's "Happy People/U Saved Me" might be the most creative album of R. Kelly's career, he's gone back to the basics now on "TP3.com" which is great but it's not as creative as "Happy People/U Saved Me", I think Outkast's "Speakerboxx/Love Below" was pretty creative too even though that was '03 but I think Andre 3000 went too left field on his, Big Boi had too many guests, damn how many albums do Snoop and Jay-Z have to jump on? :lolsign: That kept it from being a great double album but I do give them points for attempting to be innovative.

I think Queen Latifah and MC Lyte could beat both Eminem and 50 Cent in a lyrical battle, I don't think Em and 50 Cent have much credibility in the streets anymore either, from they did when they were underground but once they blew up they started to lose it and now with their recent albums it's all gone due to their publicity stunts, I think "Big Willie Style" even has more street credibility than "The Massacre" and "Encore" of course it's easily better too, even "Born To Reign" and "And In This Corner..." are also better than those albums too which I think are Will's worst albums which are still good but those 2 albums from Em and 50 make them ranked among the worst of all time, they've hit rock bottom, I think even Bow Wow could take them out now. :stickpoke: Queen Latifah's "Black Reign"'s better than anything Eminem has ever done in his career, her rhymes are very complex on that album too and she got a more aggressive flow, she's the female version of Will Smith since she got the rap game and Hollywood on lock I think she could drop a hit album tomorrow if she wants to easily, when you think of the best career in female rappers you think Queen Latifah although Salt-N-Pepa won a Grammy for "Very Neccessary" which is a great album with a lot dope songs on there but I think Queen Latifah's a better all around lyricist she got the complex rhymes and she makes great songs plus Salt-N-Pepa ain't around anymore, Foxy Brown's 1st album "Ill Na Na" was classic and her last album "Broken Silence" is very good too but it's no "Black Reign", I haven't really heard too much from MC Lyte I gotta get some albums from her but I'd say that verse on "Who Am I" and a few other songs I heard her rap on the radio are better than anything 50 has done, btw what album should I get from her? As I think about it I can't say Big Pun impacted the industry much either since Fat Joe's the only other latin rapper to hit platinum, it's just like there ain't an army of white rappers on the scene 'cause Em blew up and Pun's career was cut too short to know if he'd be still on same level as Jay-Z and Nas.

I think you got me wrong..Those are great Album but LL`s or De La Souls or even Will`s Album arent fresh..They`r great but they arent fresh or inovatif i think! ← Yeah I think those albums just reinforce them as great mcs, I might read into the topic wrong, I honestly can't think of too many innovative albums lately, I definately agree with you that Beastie Boys have much more of an innovative sound than Kanye does, they're one of the greatest groups ever along with Run-DMC, PE, De La Soul, and Tribe Called Quest, Kanye's just one of the better ones now but not all time.
