cool it guys
1. one of the best verses kurupt ever dropped was on a 14-minute death row freestyle session with dre, lady of rage and daz.
2. i don't really like jay-z at all barring a select few tracks
3. despite the fact that dre doesn't write his own rhymes, and talks about stuff that's not real as far as how he's living his life goes, i still love it whenever dre drops a verse and it still sounds gangsta even though he's old
4. i agree that the slim shady lp is the best eminem album. i also think that the marshall mathers lp is one of the better follow-up albums by a mainstream artist
5. i disagree that snoop fell off a little on the doggfather
6. donny rizzo has one of the dopest flows i have ever heard. listen to the el riz freestyle, the way he creates rythm with his rhymes is crazy. it's not him rhyming to a beat, it's him and the beat dancing swing together.
7. the dopest production i know is e-40's things'll never change, simply because it's so musical. real piano, real guitar, real bass. i prefer live played hiphop beats to looped stuff and samples.
8. i think crooked i is hyped up, but "nobody understands me" and "crook in me" are among my favorite hiphop tracks.
