[jack01237]

[qmoney000]

Nice dj polo

[BLACKTHUNDA2929]

This is real rap. Fuck this new shit. 

[MrEvitcartta]

What's fucked up is this guy won;t be fully respected until he's dead. Then every hipster will listen to him and think they're cool just because he's dead.

[shortyblue7]

@MrEvitcartta haha fuckin hilarious, a couple of the people i listen to are dead but thats because im young, and i usually have to go back in time to hear good music

[GrandMasterBlaze420]

Fuck Biggy and Tupac its all about BIG PUN AND BIG L

[BxL0W]

@GrandMasterBlaze420

wow, you really is a fuckin dummy..

[anthropological]

@GrandMasterBlaze420

pun was GREAT.... in both ways.... but Big L was W A C K..... G Rap is spectacular!

[TheSeven45]

@anthropological Big L wack?

I know you heard the saying crack is wack you better stop smoking that shit cause it got you saying something stupid

[RealTheory]

@anthropological Big L is a legend

[TheJdigggittty101]

@RealTheory yeah but who taught him ...evryones first album is the best ...lord finesse and ag get just as much if not more respect

[MrRada12]

@anthropological big L was wack??? what the fuck are talking about you fuckface, he had the sickest punchlines of all time, pull your head out of your ass you fucking fool

[anthropological]

@MrRada12

what the fuck do YOU know? i mean i am 42.... i was listening to hip hop..... you little penis motherfucker HIP HOP.... since 79....

like i said before.... what the fuck do you know?

Rakim had great punchlines, LL back in the day had great punchlines, Moe D, DLB, Tito, Melle Mel, those were legends and their music stays on heavy rotation on my IPOD... i cannot think of one song that Big L ever did that i would want to listen to....

[MrRada12]

@anthropological because your a fool

[bamboneski]

@GrandMasterBlaze420 yep .. thats what is attractive bout the u.g. scene now'days....JMT and AOTP is the product of the "o.G.s " of the realness in hiphop . onE

[xScratchAx]

most influential lyricist of all time. Kool G Rap is one of the best rhymes masters

[DaInfinityC]

i hate all the people i hang out with(broke,poor etc. :P) when they play/bass this loud in the car...they say"it makes me feel like money...is that bad?" wtf your broke are you trying to contradict your ass? ive tried to like literally "convert" people to this,90's rap,80's, old eminem,2pac, etc.no luck cause they all full of modern shit....and i hate when they say i need to listen to that,i will and want to gag... they say im closed minded..no i just hate fuckin wack ass noise :)

[Damian2354]

@DaInfinityC To them, this kind of music is wack ass noise. Different strokes for different folks man.

[Dwiz452]

KoolG is the gratest rapper of all time way before this time . That nigga Jaz z should put him onnnnnnn R,I,P, kavon northen blvd big money wiz

[bamboneski]

[DrGreenThumbin]

ghost is deadly, no one can deny it

[DopeSick408]

I wish more cats listen to real hip hop! Fuck G Rap kills this shit.

[NaStyNaS1973]

Pac, Nas n Kool G Rap best solo rappers ever.

[strikeout1991]

lol pac

[NaStyNaS1973]

lol strikeout, I'm sure you know much about rap.

[strikeout1991]

was that sarcastic?

cause i do know much about hip hop

[DrGreenThumbin]

1. G Rap 2. Rakim 3. Ghostface 4. Biggie 5. Big Daddy Kane 6. Pun 7. Meth 8. Nas 9. Inspectah Deck 10. Freddie Foxxx i dunno thats a pretty good list

[1TtidnaB]

@DrGreenThumbin

Yeah, thumbs up!

Would have put in Big L and Prodigy instead of Ghostface and Meth -myself.

[DrGreenThumbin]

@1TtidnaB

glad u liked it, u dont think ghost is top 10? just curious, i think hes easily the best outta WU

the bottom 5 are kinda iffy, you could switch them around based on preference, those first 5 i think are the best rappers ever.

[1TtidnaB]

@DrGreenThumbin

I know and hear that Ghost is talented, but I can honestly say that I never liked a single verse he ever dropped. Cant really explain why.

Anyways, anyone with Freddie Foxx on their list got my respect.

[MrPhillyrick1]

@1TtidnaB not liking a single verse ghost said? maybe his shit flew over your head, but ghost is fire.

his verse on protect your neck alone was murder.

"injecting style from my lethal weapon. my pen! that rocks from here to oregon!

heres more again, catch you like a psycho flashback.

i love gats. if rap was a gun you wouldnt buss back!"

i give an order to my peeps across the water"

i had a favorite MC in 1980. i can recognize a lyricist. you must not of heard any verse from ghost

[1TtidnaB]

@MrPhillyrick1

You know, there is no truth in taste, just subjectivity.

I never liked Eminem, Jay Z or 2Pac either, that doesent mean that their shit flew over my head - it just means I dont feel their shit. I bet you have similar opinions about certain rappers.

I dont like rap in general, but most of the music I like is rap. If I judge Ghostface on one of the commonly accepted scales rappers often are judged after, Ghost is without a doubt talented - just not for me.

[MrPhillyrick1]

@1TtidnaB i understand. im just glad i wasnt called idiot jackazz and every other slur the immature use.

i respect you for expressing your opinion in a civilized manner.

[MrPhillyrick1]

@jazzhopin a true wu fan would know there is no best. they all have different styles and they the best at their style!

and each of them will tell you, OBD was the holder of the wu tang sword.

his freestyles sounded like written, and his written sounded like freestyles. no father to that style.

if you are old enough(im 40)you would recognize each style as being represented in hip hop at one time.

ugod reps the busy b party rap era.

do you know who busy b is?

all hip hop. no best!

[MrPhillyrick1]

ha! you 28? i was having this debate before you was born! in 80 my favorite mc was T larock. and i was breakdancing and bombing lol. i forgot half my rhymes by the time you was born!

you dont know hip hop. all you know came from some "earlier scenes" as you put it. the hip hop movement turned pop by time you discovered it!

you still dont get it. its no such thing as nicer. just different styles. you mentioned afrika bambaata? one of the hypest lyrics EVER didnt contain words. planet rock.

[MrPhillyrick1]

lol. on top of that you cant add. how you get 13 out of that?

get at me when you learn how to count.

lil fella

[MrPhillyrick1]

@jazzhopin lmaoo. you going apeshit over this. it aint that deep. i noticed you remove the comments that made you look like an idiot for not knowing how to count.

get a life and move on. youre a child to me. and youre throwing a tantrum like a snotty nosed little kid. im done

dueces!

[MrPhillyrick1]

@jazzhopin lmaoo @ you needing reaasurance from the youtube community. yet you still rambling on and on. night after night. vulgar language and slurs. typical behavior from a child. youre throwing a tantrum. its not a good look.

thumbs down!

now that was the funniest shit i read in a long time. "you got a big ole thumbs down!' now i see why you wont give this up. you live through this. im done with you. youre just a kid living a loser life on youtube.

[MrPhillyrick1]

@jazzhopin get a life and stop stalking my profile. after you got igged you flooded my profile with commentys. that just lets me know how pathetic you are

[MrPhillyrick1]

@jazzhopin youre such aloser, you started posting comments on my profile after i igged you. its clear to me you have no life. look at you beggin for a response.

dude think about what youre doing.

you just challenged me to a rap battle on my profile.

SMDH. i was right. you do live through this. you being all you can be.

[MrPhillyrick1]

@jazzhopin you seem upset. and on top of that, you continue to tell me to go to school. 1993 was 17 years ago. im 40.

if you think taking 17 away from 40 gives you 13, youre the one that should return to school. dumbazz.!

that would have made me 23!

[jazzhopin]

Listen dude, you made a stupid ass remark saying you were having a discussion about " The wu" Before i was born, well i was born in 82, and what i was saying is thats impossible, Wu tang didn't exist in 82, so quit the back and fourth messages, its over to me. we agree on two things G rap and Rakim are the two best emcees ever i saw your post on " Go for your guns" You said #1 g rap 2. rakim. I agree with that, but that means styles dont make someone a nicer rapper, it just who you are.

[TruHipHop7]

@jazzhopin  nice!!!

[Geiweo77]

yeah yeah, oldscool 4 ever

[ttiiaa77]

This fools got a son with Karrine "Superhead" Stephans that he doesn't take care of.

[xxGodx]

(My Name is Rakim AlLLaH)

Ra-kim, the microphone solo-ist.

=)

[dilect1]

do you know what the sample is for this track? it's dope

[Geiweo77]

i forgot Kool G Rap is best Oldscool shit too

[Geiweo77]

1. NWA

2. SPC (GB, N.I.P. 5th Ward)

3. Too $Hort

4. PE

and this ranking i can shuffle depends on which song i actually play ;O)

the new stuff RAP / RB / HipHop is bullshit

[CHICAGOssSOX]

#1 rakim?? he's cool but i dont know about #1..... ice cube #9??? what? naw more like in the high 30's.

[gangsterchronicle]

most ppl dont get rakim because they aint old skool guys... at the time there was NOTHING like rakim, he jus came up and straight blew EVERYONE out of the water... as for cube, he gave us more classic, memorable and damn near untouchable bars in two albums and one EP than most other rappers careers. Don't forget the guy wrote almost all of NWA's good lyrics (along with the DOC)

[wheelhows]

What...no BIG DADDY KANE?....He pioneered multi syllable flows for chrissakes~!!

[SEJVES]

And yet again.The pioneer of multi syllable rhying was Rakim!

[alcrunk93]

1. Rakim

2. Nas

3. Biggie

4. Pac

5. Big L

6. krs-one

7. Kool G Rap

8. Eminem

9. Ice Cube

10. Big Punisher

[locyka19]

man your list is okay more or less.But what about eminem,pac and big pun?they are even not in the best 30....

where is big daddy kane? he is in the top 3.

[warmongers666]

have you listened to twinz deep cover and super lyrical by BIG PUN. Eminem and Pac are Rap Gods...

[locyka19]

what??? eminem?? how is that boy? Are you white or what cuz I'm white but I think afro-americans much better in rap.But even mc search better than eminem or asher roth..big pun is okay cuz he from the bronx and that was a tuff place.But pac....he was influental and popular...but ....big l was far better

[warmongers666]

I am an asian..Indian to be specific. Biggie, Big L and Big Pun are the best from New York. Pac has simple wordplay but deep messages. Eminem makes great use of multies. Peace and Love..

[kaktusimklo]

please, fuck that racist shit. skin colour doesnt matter in rap (it doesnt matter ever), you should never forget your origin, but in fact, its not about where you are from but what you do.

[warmongers666]

why you reply to me? How am I racist? Its Locyka19 who said that afro-americans are better rappers. All I said was that I am asian. How is that racist shit?

[kaktusimklo]

Looks like I mixed up the Reply buttons, I wanted to reply to loycka19 cause he talks shit. sorry dude.

[NaS8784]

@locyka19 BDK isnt top 3 lmfao

[hiphopmekka]

real hip hop

[sumkoolweirdo]

g-rap is da man,rakim had nice hooks but he can fuck wit g-raps flow

[47cardaryl951]

fuck 50 cent, that brother is a whack artist,big to old school.

[rayyzasharp]

Up up up and away cause I don't play clown. Buck buck buck, take dat witchu on the way down. Thats my shit!

[rayyzasharp]

Rakim or G Rap. Who's nicer???????

[bballer64]

G Rap. It's not close.

[lahcymqq]

The R. Period. Everything starts with Rakim. Everything ens with Rakim. In rap, he's the alpha and omega. Kool G Rap is dope no doubt, but he's not the R.

[Kabman89]

rakim definetely.

[turtlehead2]

depends on your mood..... But Rakim either way

[pdm146]

lyrically? rakim

flow? g rap

but overall rapper i think rakim is better

[Ldeuce22]

respect to all rappers, unfortunately, respect to 50 cent too.. ):

[mas685]

One of the best rappers of all times. He is up there with Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, KRS-One,Nas. F**K Biggie he can't even come close to Kool G. Rap

[mukhmas]

Althought I agree with you regarding G Rap you have to be retarted to say F**K Big. BIG is a legend and one of the greatest ever! Your comments are totally inappropriate.

[jdbankshot]

@mukhmas after big died, his entire entourage confirmed that he was,essentially, a poseur. adopted a style invented & perfected by others, turned it into a formula & acted out a role, just like pac. big wanted to be a rap music superstar, not a hip hop artist. was he untalented? hell no. but there is a big diff between an artist and an entertainer & it is nearly impossible to be both. a quote from lance riviera,"if u told chris he'd make millions rappin about a garbage can, he would've done it."

[funkyworm90]

how can you be fan of big daddy, rakim, krs, nas & kool g rap and say fuck biggie at the same time?? that means something's wrong with you.. biggie is king..

and although i can't really choose between g rap and biggie, they're close..

[akvalues]

SHARK YOU THA TRUTH!!!!

[NewWorldRob]

If anyone wants a track off this album let me know...I'll down load it if its not on youtube

[BallinColin24]

SHIT

[Kabman89]

love this shit!

[statelybird3]

I know! This song kicks ass--I love the sample--definitely an old school jazz blues tune. Never heard this on the radio either,despite the fact that it came out in the early gangster rap era.

[tashiba28]

yes this is the one

[njirem]

Cool shit

[mrmixer92]

love this real shit

[mrmixer92]

real shit

[rgdbfdf]

well said allhailtheus, but as far as your username goes, what a load of shit

[AllhailtheUS]

So I guess I would be cooler if I just strung a couple of jibberish letters together like you did? OK I will create a new account. My name shall hence forth be: psfdjepjfjnfnh

All better?

[AllhailtheUS]

I see so many people finally waking up and realizing what true hip-hop is/was. Hopefully there will be a revolution to bring this style of "true" music back, instead of the ridiculous garbage that permeates the airwaves nowadays. You actually get a story with the older stuff, as compared to the constant bragging of the current crop.

[kimberluvr]

word

[stormsword123]

@AllhailtheUS

Word son.

I hope so that true Hip-Hop will return!

Peace!

[SoDamnGangsta]

@AllhailtheUS um most rap is constant bragging

[MugsMcClain]

G Rap was the man back when dudes wore Carhart Jackets and Cross Colour jeans. Oh yeah, and beepers. If you had a beeper back when G Rap was killing it, you were the man.

[Chinga6789]

geah fuck da new shit! kool g at his finest
