@epsilon090 You're just listening to the wrong brand of hip hop. There is insightful rap out there, you just have to know where to look.

@lovewhitsnikkers Care to be less specific when making such an outrageous claim?

If they put something like this on The Daily Show, everybody would love it. But because it's on Fox, it's the devil.

@RadioNightcore Music; noun: The art or science of combining vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion. As it meets all of those standards, rap, rhythmically assisted poetry, is music whether someone "likes" it or not. Thus, saying rap is...

@thevansmack It gives them an excuse to go on tour together. I believe she and Adam are good friends, also.

We all have a stooray to tell.

I listen to this song for two reasons: the sick baseline and Big's verse.

@cashscholar The line is, "Rap is not pop, if you call it that then stop." So yes, it was an MC Hammer diss and a general statement that rap and pop are very different genres.

@Igman2020 Personally, I think Kanye's lyricism is sub-par and his flow is probably even worse; he relies on good beats and catchy choruses in the majority of his songs. But look at all of the underground MCs that he has helped give some recognition to. You always see him working with guys like C...

The most awkward one was probably #7 (Bob Knight). The funniest one was definitely #3 (Rome).

Mos Def's verse on this track is the greatest of all time in my opinion. And Kweli killed it, too.

@jFND90 Talib Kweli (RE), Mos Def (Black Star), Jurassic 5, Jay Electronica, Jedi Mind Tricks just to name a few. Sure, they had some commercial songs, but they were still in line with the message they had been preaching in their underground classics for years. They only became mainstream because...

@sickpuppies2222 From Wikipedia: In what was to become tragic irony, the most cutting scene of the video would show D12 member, Proof getting shot by men in a drive-by and doctors trying to revive him in a hospital. Proof died the next year from a heated altercation at a nightclub.

There are so many comments about sports because this song is famously played during the seventh inning stretch at Fenway Park -- home of the Boston Red Sox.

J. Cole is shit on this track. His words are so empty, especially with REAL emcees all around him spittin' fire. Electronica was the best.

Love this vid! Dead memories and Psychosocial are the best along with this one in meh opinion :)

@blrug You present valid points, but I believe that the more radical comments do discredit Lupe. In addition, I feel that he is merely stating well-known problems rather than providing solutions. While spreading awareness is important, and I certainly give him credit for that, it does not qualify...

@MrDetox2010 Quit hatin'. Enjoy Mase while he's around, 'cause you never know what he'll do next. Also, fuck Diddy.

Back in the day when all a track needed was a bass line.

This is shit.

@CRRankinstein I actually didn't realize that this was part of the track until I bought the album.

@leigha10405 The dancer and the white powder represent desire. I desperately want to see who the dancer is and what she looks like. She moves so gracefully and with such beauty and poise that I can't help but wonder who is behind that white fog and dark mask. But, alas, she never reveals herself-...

@yaroslav64 In keeping up with the trend continued by your last post, I feel compelled to add: Keep up the good work!

This isn't rap. Sorry.

I would love to visit that place in the video sometime. Looks beautiful.

Not a bad song, but easily my least-favorite Nas video. I blame Diddy.

@BlackMagik232 If you look at what I wrote I wasn't insinuating anything with my comment. Just saying that Snoop's new hit "Wet" isn't very good.
