Frank Grimes hey jason,
your right he does.
Holy shit...never would I expect one of what I consider the Fabulous 5 Idiots (Hurts, Grimes, venomous, aban & actually come to their senses so quickly in a thread.
...but nothing.
has some good punchlines and plays on words but doesn't have a quarter of the heart or intensity, doesn't have Em's USUAL consistency regarding lyrics and his flow is not as good as Em's. Judging on a scale of 1-10, 10 obviously being a perfect emcee, the whole package, Eminem ranges between 8.5 and 9.75. Banks ranges from 5-8.
is one of the few guys that I've actually never heard. I have hella respect for the guy, have tried to buy his music before, but everytime I go to the record store they either say they don't know who he is or they don't have any of his stuff. There's certain rappers around my neck of Michigan that for whatever reasons, they're a legend to me and rap fans, but the people at the record store either never heard of him or don't have any of their shit.
I went to literally four record stores when I was looking for Big L before I finally found a copy of Lifestylez... Two of the four places didn't even know who he was. Besides L and Monch, some other rappers this is the case with are Biz Markie (fucking stunningly amazing), Talib Kweli, Common, D.O.C. Those are just a few. So when I finally get to listen to Pharoah, if I ever do, I'll let you know.
LMAO! You mean
possibly THEE WORST RAPPER TO EVER TOUCH A MIC. I'll listen to 50's two mainstream albums everyday for the rest of my life and nobody else before I listen to yayo. I heard a radio station freestyle lately with Mr. Yayo that someone posted here and that was some hot shit. HOWEVER, that was the ONLY verse I've ever heard from him in which I didn't almost cry because he was so terrible.
Thanks for the laugh though. :thumb:
Explain to me how Rakim owns the rap game RIGHT NOW.
Rakim is several things including a legend, one of the greatest rappers to ever grace a mic, an influence on probably damn near every artist that grew up listening to him. But the controller of the rap game at this current moment in time? No. Right now, 50 Cent has more control than Rakim.
