mfuqua23 Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 If U suggested all that to them, they'd say... "Where the hell am I gonna get the money for all that?!?" I'd say it's a matter of interest and preferable possiblities of taste U think your friend would have. That's a pretty sound list. I can't argue with it. I noticed Will Smith is the only Hip Hop artist of today's world that U suggested. :hmm: An engima in itself. I'd add Nas - Illmatic. Can't think of anymore not listed.
