favorite rapper Options

[jr0h]

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??

[*basick*]

ok sorry for double posting the edit button is f*cked up for me so anyways you obviously didnt read my last post about the facts of ether if you are too lazy to read the whole thing read the last part. but ill post it here again.

while i was reading through your fairly accurate but biased review of ether and takeover, i noticed you didnt have any comments about this part of the song

milin in my face, glad to break bread with the god
Wearin Jaz chains, no tecs, no cash, no cars
No jail bars Jigga, no pies, no case
Just Hawaiian shirts, hangin with little Chase
You a fan, a phony, a fake, a p*ssy, a Stan
I still whip your ass, you thirty-six in a karate class

now read this - like for instance ether was all true except for Jay age,Jaz o told nas all that info.remeber when nas said hanging with little chase,well chase is a short cat from marcy who Jay used to follow around back in the days. Jaz O told alot of dirt on hov that nas did not even use but you notice how nas mentioned Jaz names 4 seperate times in the song?

also you didnt mention this part of the song either.

Ha, R-O-C get gunned up and clapped quick
J.J. Evans get gunned up and clapped quick
Your whole damn record label gunned up and clapped quick

well, in case you didnt know, the rocafella records was just sold (reportadely). im not saying nas had anyhing to do with it, but it came true in the end didnt it?
and you talking about how lloyd banks has better punchlines and sh*t but being a good/great battle rapper does not make you a good rapper period. i mean, look at cassidy. he can kill anyone in a battle but youre not gonna mistake him for a good rapper are you? or jin. he is ill when battling but his songs have been wack lately (except hands off thats pretty hot).

i aint saying battle artists cant be good rappers (elliot ness) but im sayin you dont hafta be a good battle rapepr to be a good rapper. nas doesnt even battle.

anyways, back to takeover. you didnt post the whole song! you post the whole "ether" which you classified as half fillers. how about you and i listen to takeover.

I don't care if you Mobb Deep, I hold triggers to crews
You little f*ck, I've got money stacks bigger than you
When I was pushin weight, back in eighty-eight
you was a ballerina I got your pictures I seen ya
Then you dropped "Shook Ones," switch your demeanor
Well - we don't believe you, you need more people
Roc-A-Fella, students of the game, we passed the classes
Nobody could read you dudes like we do
Don't let 'em gas you like Jigga is ass and won't clap you
Trust me on this one - I'll detach you
Mind from spirit, body from soul
They'll have to hold a mass, put your body in a hole
No, you're not on my level get your brakes tweaked
I sold what ya whole album sold in my first week
You guys don't want it with Hov'
Ask Nas, he don't want it with Hov', nooooo!

hmm... that was pretty wack wasnt it... but the "we don't believe you you need more people" always makes me laugh. previous verse please

The takeover, the break's over nigga
God MC, me, Jay-Hova
Hey lil' soldier you ain't ready for war
R.O.C. too strong for y'all
It's like bringin a knife to a gunfight, pen to a test
Your chest in the line of fire witcha thin-ass vest
You bringin them Boyz II Men, HOW them boys gon' win?
This is grown man B.I., get you rolled in the triage(?)
Beatch - your reach ain't long enough, dunny
Your peeps ain't strong enough, fucka
Roc-A-Fella is the army, better yet the navy
Niggaz'll kidnap your babies, spit at your lady
We bring - knife to fistfight, kill your drama
Uh, we kill you motherf**kin ants with a sledgehammer
Don't let me do it to you dunny cause I overdo it
So you won't confuse it with just rap music

rocafella is the army, better yet the navy... compared to ethers first verses, id say ether > takeover

how about the last verses, you kindly put up the last verses of ether, while only putting up the meat of takeover

A wise man told me don't argue with fools
Cause people from a distance can't tell who is who
So stop with that childish sh*t, nigga I'm grown
Please leave it alone - don't throw rocks at the throne
Do not bark up that tree, that tree will fall on you
I don't know why your advisors ain't forewarn you
Please, not Jay, he's, not for play
I don't slack a minute, all that thug rappin and gimmicks
I will end it, all that yappin be finished
You are not deep, you made your bed now sleep
Don't make me expose to them folks that don't know you
Nigga I know you well, all the stolen jew-els
Twinkletoes you breakin my heart
You can't f*ck with me - go play somewhere, I'm busy
And all you other cats throwin shots at Jigga
You only get half a bar - f*ck y'all niggaz

i dont even to write comments on that verse... but im willing to say, nas won the battle (ether vs takeover) but jay won the war. i got love for both rappers none the less
