People are wild calling this trash. What because you can't dance to it? Listen to the songs and the lyrics. The dichotomy between white and black is not only reflected in the lyrics but the actual music.
I don't get this...
MMLP2 -
Bad Guy
So Much Better
Legacy
Stronger Than I Was
Headlights
Evil Twin
All songs with pretty straightforward themes or stories...
Guts over Fear is fire. Definitely feeling like Beautiful Pain Pt. 2.
NT's opinion on music is always so different from mine, but I guess that's what music is all about. I just can't fathom how people can claim that he was "offbeat" on songs or that he's trash lyrically. Dude is probably still...
It's the exact opposite. The people that listen to a multitude of genres are the ones that recognize Yeezus for what it is, Kanye's failed attempt at delving into other genres. It's jarring, boring and a completely misguided effort to be avant garde, when in fact it's just trash.
The top 3 are clearly Em, Snoop, and 50. How this is even debatable is baffling to me. These guys had buzz not just hip hop fans, but middle/white america and were able to create the same buzz internationally.

So you're taking the Beatles as just the group alone, and comparing it to NWA, their influences, their individual sales records, essentially taking the six degrees of separation route by inlcuding Kendrick, and they STILL arent as popular as the Beatles!
Imagine if I was to then on top of just...
We all know Jay has been outshine on a few tracks, but he has plenty of tracks outshining others as well.
The better question is has there ever been a time wehre Big Pun was outshined on a track other than Canibus on Fantastic Four.
He slaughtered everything he was on, and if it wasnt for Bus...
What I'm implying is that Em and Nas are still the caliber of lyricist that they were (or at least close to it) at their prime. You listen to a verse from Nas and it doesnt seem THAT far removed from Illmatic and It Was Written. You listen to a verse from Em on this album, say Rap God's 3rd...
