So who here got the I.N.I. - Center Of Attention album? Production by Pete Rock, one of the best 90's gems. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/eiTy71nSkKw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Anyone wanting old school must check out wefunkradio.com. By the way, I straight up ethered J. Cole, whatever that means, in the other thread. Your rhymes are whack: they suck as hard as your mom when she runs out of crack. Go to back to St. John's, give their diploma back. It's a shame the lame game you play riding the sack of a man named Shane who could kick your ass to Frankfurt and back while you spit fake hood grammar and flex imaginary guns. He cashes larger checks than you besides, talks like he really talks, sings karaoke while you write okey-doke MF'ing "patty cake" lines. "Magna c*m laude" translates to "big joke" at the place where you got it from, jack. Some rappers with great flow: Rakim is classic; early-middle era Kool Keith; Notorious B.I.G., Nas. . . . How about some DJ's, like Pete Rock, Madlib, Dilla, Premier, Jazzy Jeff. . . .
Haha, nice lines you got there. People should stop saying how great lyricists some of these new rappers are, most of today's songs/artists got wack rhyme schemes with corny punch lines that sometimes don't even make sense, while majority of content isn't deep at all. The lyrical level guys like Cole got is average, 80% of guys that grow up with rap can write that stuff.
If you want some crazy raps, then check out Mac Dre. One of the best to grab the mic. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/LyRXJxx0I0g" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/HdSLpHVT4GI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/odq-YrL0Ezo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I'm a huge Cudi fan as well and here's some of my faves <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/MYNlWbSUEOE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jZaxNhtvV_I" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Iv5PCPXA09k" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
If this is a discussion, I'd like to say that I never understood why hardcore rap fans are always trying to convince the rest of us of how 'revolutionary' and great rap is. I am a big old school country music fan, but I don't go around peddling Bobby Bare's music, or Gene Watson's.
I don't think that we/they are necessarily trying to convince you that rap is revolutionary and great, but more so that RAP, is not the stereotypical BS that people who claim that rap is not music make it out to be.

And here is one of the truest rappers from the "new" school. Mistah F.A.B. is a very good rapper and song writer. Definitely check him out, both his hyphy stuff and, more importantly, his non-hyphy songs. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/F_WLy4r8ipM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Fcof-d5FTi4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/EsALqhN8nFw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Good contributions. Spice 1 is a beast on the mic and Celly Cel has some great albums.
Loving Tyler the Creator at the moment, this track is excellent with Pusha T.. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/wyP9MEScK3A" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
