[gopack2k]

I don't see how anyone like wiz khalifa. he seems to me like just the average mainstream trash. am i missing something?

[morelliSS]

@gopack2k hes old stuff was sick, this new shit that hes coming out with is just horrible, his old mix tapes were sick

[iBravoo]

@morelliSS how can you think his latest mixtape zero heroes is horrible???? to me it's like he finally made the music he's able to make, which he tried earlier with square in the circle and everybody's nobody mixtape... you're the only one ive ever heard sayin that

[morelliSS]

@iBravoo NO im talking about Wiz khalifa! sorry should have been more specific, I love Zero hero's its amazing!?

[HueyEscobar56]

@gopack2k he used to be good before he went mainstream, same with B.o.B

[anARTISTdead]

@gopack2k yeah wiz khalifa sounds like sh*t

[BigMac1814]

@gopack2k He is emensly different from other artists, his style, looks and music. if you venture deeper into his music you will find out why alot of people enjoy it.

[b22chris]

[lookalooey]

1.Lupe, of course lol 2. WIz Khalifa 3. J.Cole 4. Kid Cudi 5. XV 6. Jean Grae <3. dont hate lol, she flow nice 7. Charles hamiltons okay but im not rly used to his um...method? of rapping....lol he has like an awkward flow but he does go pretty hard. 8.Drake i guess but... Wayne poisoned Drake lol. 9. OLD Wayne... poisoned himself lmao 10. Mac Miller/ Sam Adams i gues...feelin Mac more and um...maybe Wale cuz hes pretty good too

[tdot0312]

1. Lupe Fiasco

2. J.Cole

3. XV

4. Kid Cudi

5. Big Sean

Drake Would Be in here. If he would stuck to his old self. Like The Come Winter song is beast. But Wayne Ruined him smh

[lookalooey]

@tdot0312 lol thats like my exact list, only with Wiz Khalifa instead of Big Sean. Seans nice but i been bumpin Wiz's shit alll day lol no homo tho

[rodyforeva]

@tdot0312 J. Cole is one of my fav along with XV, Big Sean, and Kendrick Lamar.. But homeboi if you think that Drake still ain't on his shit you trippin Drake is overall the best RITE NOW. Yes, J.Cole is realer and he's more of a poet but overall RITE NOW until cole put out an album Drake is the best so that comment wayne ruined him is just dumb!

1. Drake

2. J.Cole

3. Kanye

4. Lupe

5. XV

[stickwar123]

@rodyforeva drake is a commercilised faggot... sorry for my spelling

[Dvviggy]

@tdot0312 where's NaS, and lol kid cudi doesn't rap

[SuperComplexTV]

@tdot0312 Drake should definitely be in there. Not Big Sean.

Drakes "Take Care" is, wether you like him or not, a great album.

Big sean's running 'round doing songs like "Ass ass ass ass ass ass", not cool. lol

But apart from that, a good list :-)

[SuperBIgNads]

@SuperComplexTV You dont know what your talking about it would be a disgrace to have Drake only a list next to xv of kid cudi drake doesnt even write his own lyrics

[jakerbly]

my dude jus signed with warner bros records. that means its time for him to blow up! no doubt.

[gaypplreadthis]

Not hating or anything but Drake is all hype now...

1. Kid Cudi

2. Lupe

3. Xv

4. Big Sean (Shit like Desire, Want, & Need though)

5. Wiz... (Kush & Oj, How Fly...Not Chewy, Etc )

[golimitless]

@gaypplreadthis yea it seems like drake reached his peak already unless he pulls somthin outta nowhere......we've seen his potential already.

[gaypplreadthis]

@golimitless

In my opinion all of his music sounds the same now

[TheGraduate60]

@gaypplreadthis I'm feelin this list. Too bad ppl will never of hear this on the radio. In Texas they won't play a single person on this list, they played one song from Wiz at 2am and Day n Nite a month after it came out only two times.

[morelliSS]

@gaypplreadthis I love Wiz's old stuff but he has completely sold out now

[Dvviggy]

@gaypplreadthis kid cudi doesn't rap



[Dvviggy]

@gaypplreadthis kid cudi isn't a rapper. SMH

[HueyEscobar56]

@Dvviggy lol the fuck are you talking about. Kid Cudi is a rapper. Either you are very stupid or you just don't listen to a lot of his music =\

[amazingman09]

Lupe fiasco Charles Hamilton Kid Cudi Cory gunz Slaughterhouse B.O.B Kanye west Eminem Asher Roth XV My top ten, variety, but hip hop...

not even close to lupe but he's one of the top new cats

top 5 new cats

2.drake

3.xv

4.wale

5.jay electronica

[SpikeRoscoeBeats]

eh, I guess ur right. I just like this particular song. BUT i dont think I'd put drake up there because in my opinion theres nothing really different about his music that im hearing.

[123ways]

one thing the puts drake apart from others is that he can sing...

and he knows how to sell....

[SpikeRoscoeBeats]

yes, I suppose your right. I just dont listen to him anymore because every youtube rapper on here is always remixing and a lot of the time butchering his music. He does have a talent that a lot of people dont have though I suppose.

[ciityofgsz]
