  1. You are very good live. You realy should do it more often.
  2. Not realy On Topic, but whatever.. A big European Hip Hop Magazine suggested that KRS-One, Kool G Rap, Rakim & Big Daddy Kane should form a Supergroup and hook up with the best producers..
  3. No she ins't because she is rich anway. But.. Just saying.. One can still get very rich very fast in this biz
  4. Well there are a few more good MC's still doing good numbers. I'd say there are just as much good as bad rappers that are doing decent numbers these days. And the future looks bright, cause right now a lot of good newcomers have great hypes.
  5. Well then you should never ask your favorite rappers about their favorite rappers cause some of them are bound to have Jay-Z on there
  6. Yeah Big Willie my man - put up a new link or I wil never comment on your stuff again
  7. According to Forbes, Willow Smith made 4 million dollars only off of Whip My Hear. Who needs an album?
  8. I remember you. Over here things have changed, but after reading waht you said I guess they also remain the same man. Welcome back.
  9. Oh yeah Kanye said some stupid ish, but he is no way near Griff. Now I know PE eventualy kicked Griff out - but only when it stardet to hurt business. Before his comments (this one and other ones) went national, Chuck D gave intervieuws devending Griff and saying that the Group is behind everything Griff says. Now as soon as the news went national, they had a problem - the biggest one was the fact that a multimillion dollar record deal was about to fall through because of the controversy. That is when Chuck, under pressure by Bill Stephney and Hank Shocklee, decided to kick Griff out. Now, by the standarts of Hip Hop everyhwere - I believe we call that selling out. Meanwhile, they still kept it tight with Farrakhan, who was busy promoting and dispersing Henry Fords "The International Jew" - a ****ed upped book from which Griff got most of his Bull****. Talk about swag. If you dont believe me, read up on it. It's all true. I can recomend Jeff Changs "A History of the Hip Hop Generation" - he also wrote a lot about Public Enemy in that book (incl. bibliography, foot notes and interviews with Chuck, Bill Stephney and Hank and many others that had to do with this - just in case there is any doubt to what he writes). About Jay-Z: I agree with the fact that he hasn't been a big game changer like PE or Rakim and so on. But not every legend has to be. On the other hand, he did influence a lot of rappers that came out after him, so he did have a influence somehow. The list is endless realy. You can ask most of your favorite rappers and chances are Jay-Z is in their top 10. Next to that, during his career he always pushed new talent - and not only the ones who commercial appeal. I mean he is the one that signs and pushes J. Cole, a dude with a real flow and soul-sample beats, even though we are in a ringtone age (same goes for Kanye back in the day btw), he signed The Roots and Nas to Def Jam and so on. He has been in the game for a long time now and he managed to stay relevant and succesfull. He always managed to change his style and sound. And last, but not least, he made at least two, arguably three albums that are widely regarded as classics. I beleive that is enough. Oh and dude can spit.
  10. I just wanna bring something to your attention again: "If the Palestinians took up arms, went into Israel and killed all the Jews, it'd be alright" .-Professor Griff (Founding member of Public Enemy) in Melody Maker (May 28, 1988 Issue) This is one of the clearly insane things members of Public Enemy have said over the years. Now if you excuse me, I'll go back to listening Otis. Don't believe the Hype. P.S. Just in case ya'll wanna start something about me being disrespectfull: I've heard every PE album more than one time. I know they are Legends. But so is Hove.
  11. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmPUwAgKG30 I still love this album
  12. Yes they do. On the other hand, if somebody buys 8 of the 16 tracks on Itunes, it does not count as a sold album. But you still make money. Wiz Khalifa made 11 million (according to Forbes) last year even thought his album didn't have Eminem numbers at all.
  13. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuD1CQehC2Q&feature=related Uuuh weeh what a banger. AJ will hate this.
  14. KRS is paranoid dude. He said himself that he writes a Diss Track about every new Rapper that comes out, just in case one of them disses him. It got nothing to do with him being a Legend or not.
  15. Yeah some still sell a lot of records, but it realy is fading. On the other hand, Itunes at least makes people buy tracks again instead of just downloading them for free all the time.
  16. KRS already has a Lil wayne disstrack flying around somewhere the paranoid son of a gun
  17. "Kanye West taking a **** sounds better than Wayne rapping" Some guy on youtube
  18. Yeah, we are all very concerned about Brakes. Hang in there, man.
