whos the best rapper out there in the U.S. that you think is good.
i think Kanye West has got some good talent of rapping. i luv his songs and his beat. i hate rap but i like kanye for some reason. so how bout yu??

[WTFwasIthinking]

please. nas is the modern day pioneer of rap. you never heard a thing like "rewind" before nas dropped it on stillmatic. when nas dropped "i can" on gods son, everyboody slept on it and called him soft. look now BET wanted him to perform it at this yrs awards and everyone from kanye to mobb deep is making positive songs like these. 3 yrs after it came out.

and i heard 313. i heard plenty of better verses then that. listen to AZ's verse on Lifes a B*tch or Nas's verse on NY state of mind. NAS is eminems idol. when nas dissed em, em wasnt even going to respond cause he looks up to nas.

Rewind wasn't that original IMO... honestly, Pharoahe Monch's verse in Stray Bullet was so much more original and more dope... I Can was garbage IMO and not because he's soft... and get the f*ck outta here about Kanye making songs like that because Nas... Kanye got his style off Talib Kweli... even if you listen to Kanye's album, he says Talib's helped 'em out the most outta any rapper... do you not remember Kanye producing the two dopest tracks off Quality!?!?! Talib murders Nas and he's SOO SOOOOOOOOOO more conscious... Nas is fake as f*ck as well... he talks all this bullsh*t about Africa 'n sh*t but he never even goes there... Talib goes there every year, to the conferences, and gives and raises up money to give to poor people... seriously, you gotta major bias cuz I can see in the avatar who you like... he ain't the dopest or even close to it

Nas's verse on NY State of Mind is garbage... c'mon... and Nas ain't Eminem's idol.... that's just ignorant... you're truly truly retarded... Em's been rhyming before he even heard of Nas du'... LL Cool J, Redman, and Tupac are his major idols with the influence of Rakim, Kool G Rap, and more in the rhyming area....

NAS in NEW YORK STATE OF MIND
Rappers I monkey flip 'em with the funky rhythm I be kickin
Musician, inflictin composition
of pain I'm like Scarface sniffin cocaine
Holdin a M-16, see with the pen I'm extreme, now
Bulletholes left in my peepholes
I'm suited up in street clothes
Hand me a nine and I'll defeat foes
Y'all know my steelo with or without the airplay
I keep some E&J, sittin bent up in the stairway
Or either on the corner bettin Grants with the celo champs
Laughin at baseheads, tryin to sell some broken amps
G-Packs get off quick, forever niggaz talk sh*t
Remeniscing about the last time the Task Force flipped
Niggaz be runnin through the block shootin
Time to start the revolution, catch a body head for Houston
Once they caught us off guard, the Mac-10 was in the grass and
I ran like a cheetah with thoughts of an assassin
Pick the Mac up, told brothers, "Back up," the Mac spit
Lead was hittin niggaz one ran, I made him backflip
Heard a few chicks scream my arm shook, couldn't look
Gave another squeeze heard it click yo, my sh*t is stuck
Try to cock it, it wouldn't shoot now I'm in danger
Finally pulled it back and saw three bullets caught up in the chamber
So now I'm jetting to the building lobby
and it was filled with children probably couldn't see as high as I be
(So whatchu sayin?) It's like the game ain't the same
Got younger niggaz pullin the triggers bringing fame to they name
and claim some corners, crews without guns are goners
In broad daylight, stickup kids, they run up on us
Fo'-fives and gauges, Macs in fact
Same niggaz'll catch a back to back, snatchin yo' cracks in black
There was a snitch on the block gettin niggaz knocked
So hold your stash until the coke price drop
I know this crackhead, who said she gotta smoke nice rock
And if it's good she'll bring ya customers in measuring pots, but yo
You gotta slide on a vacation
Inside information keeps large niggaz erasin and they wives basin
It drops deep as it does in my breath
I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death
Beyond the walls of intelligence, life is defined
I think of crime when I'm in a New York state of mind

EMINEM's 313
So what, you know about a sweet MC, in the 313
You don't know sh*t so when you see one flee
You can be Run-D, you'll never be the MC
I'll stop the alphabet at S and got it down to a T
I'm sure your bound to agree, a sweet MC crashes the spot
I'll make the roof hot like I was Rock Master Scott
Your ass forgot, so just in case you don't remember me
I'll run your brain around the block to jog your f**king memory
It's either them or me man, kill or be killed
You will and be sealed your casket closed you still gonna be billed
My facilities filled with fans, packed to capacity
I'll send a rapper back with the crack of his ass sh*tty
If he's acting soft and he cowers
He better come cleaner then Jay Rue jacking off when he showers
You flowers got no clout with a thing
You could date a stick of dynamite and wouldn't go out with a bang
I showered the slang, simple as A,B,C's
Skip over the D's and rock the microphone with E's
Dethrone MC's and I'ma max alone
Relax your dome like a solo from a saxophone
So facts are known, writers get treated with shocks
I rock a beat harder then you could beat it with rocks
I'm greeted with flocks, of fellow follower's singers
You couldn't make the fans throw up their hands if they swallowed their
fingers
But you can bring yours let's see what you got
But don't front and never try to be what you're not
Cause you can be quick, jump the candlestick, burn your back
And f*ck Jill on a hill, but you still ain't Jack


you know how many quotables are in Em's 313 verse? you probably don't even understand half of 'em, dass why you're talkin' nonsense....

and anyway, when the f*ck did Nas diss Em!?!?! Nas is cool wit Em du'... Em produced a track for Em on God's Son... a track that Em wanted to be on REALLY BADLY but Nas didn't let it happen: rumors are he was shook of gettin' outshined like Hov... anyway, back to the point... Nas never went at Em to my knowledge... they were even at Detroit's hip hop convention together, sitting next to each other just last year... seriously, you don't know what'chu talkin' about
