I'm no rap-aficionado, some rappers speak to me...most don't. I can make it about 3 bars in to a Jay-Z album before I grab George Jones Superhits and a doobie. I guess it depends on how you weight the attributes of "greatness". Rakim is very technical, has a distinct style and flow, and is a visionary who remained relevant across generations of rappers. Doom is a genius. I can't keep up with the stuff he's doing, but it's still incredibly palatable to this cracker from a pig farm in Iowa. I could throw Andre 3000 in there with GZA, for the same reasons, although I think Andre brings a more unique flavor and arrangement.

Personally, my favorite hip-hop album is Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury...but I just attribute it to that album hitting a sweet spot with me when it came out. It was a level of consciousness above Public Enemy, but way grittier than N.W.A.

Rebel without a cause is one of those times that has to be played at max volume every time.

God fucking dammmit. I took a bottle of champagne out the fridge yesterday. Ducking thing works on weight. You get 60 seconds to put the cunt back or you buy it.

So now I have a hot bottle of champagne

I think Eminem but back when he was still a trailer parker, his freestyle was off the charts. but then he went mainstream and his contents became weird


also NAS, one of the best writers after Tupac
