Heehehehe, this is funny but lame like someone said. Why do they only do remix of people's songs??.
They can't they make their own song too??

Nas
Lupe Fiasco


can't think of any rite now Cuz most of these new rappers suck but they're celebrated. I know a couple of under-rated
R & B artistes tho.

Who knows?

I like 'hero' off the new album

Hahahaha^^^ but she asked 4 'rappers'. Ooh, I forgot, styl-plus be rapping too. Freestyle rapping.

Umm, that was a force!!^^^^

@topic, they act different roles entirely. Will smith does the comedy part while Denzel does the whatchamacallit, heroic/disciplinarian thingy. Denzel is no doubt very talented and classy, he doesn't do the childish thingy but sometimes, childishness appeals to some people. I respect Denzel a lot but if his movie and a movie by will smith comes out at d same time, I would wanna see will first. . . Cuz he's funny. Denzel is umm. .lemme not call him boring. .his movies are meant for older minds, would not really appeal to a teen. But over all, I think Denzel is a better actor probably cuz he's older, will is like a son to him.

I don't really follow this season's, don't even know any group's name. I lost interest in d show after I was disappointed by last season and the winner. Anywayz, this one looks boring, I didn't even know it started yet until I was switching stations and saw it. Usually, my friends would have talked about it.

I see nothing wrong with having maids be it a 12-year old or not as long as s/he is given work his/her age-mates can do and not over-worked and also sent to school. If you don't send a kid to school, then u didn't really do anything for them. That's just my belief!

But to all y'all claiming that having a 12-yr-old maid is child abuse and like slavery, that is so not true! First of all, there are also *maids* here in the states although most of y'all leaving outside the country think there isn't because of the paradise america is being portrayed to be. Yes, there are maids, just that they're not 12, they're older but a maid is a maid. Mexicans are known for cleaning and washing jobs here in the states, both men and women. The only reason y there are no 12-yr-old maids is because in America, every child has d right 2 education with or without money. They are helped out by the government.

But u cannot say the same 4 Nigeria, if your parents don't have money, tell me what government is goin to pay 4 your education. Then, you have d choice 2 become a maid. It's not like d employer took him against his will. Maids are just kids whose parents are poor in Nigeria and work to support the family. Here in the states, teenagers do baby-sitting jobs even those whose parents are comfortable just to be able 2 buy things they want for themselves. In Nigeria, an average kid with *comfortable* parents would not be working but not the same for America. My parents are able to provide for me but I work, does that make me a slave? I work 8hours every day because I could use d extra money. My parents can't buy me everything I want.

So long as a child is not over-worked, gets paid, and goes to school, there's absolutely nothing wrong with having maids. My sister and I have started cooking before the age of 10. I do my laundry, sweep and clean the house before I was 13 and I know lots of Americans who do too. So is that slavery or child abuse? So, someone having to do it and getting paid in the process is by no means child labor. You gotta work to get what you want, right?

I don't support beating, now that is child abuse. So, @poster, it's best you report the child once again 2 his parents and give them a criteria, like if he's caught cheating once more, he'll be sent packing. When his parents tells him that and him remembering he's d only source of money for the family, he'll think twice before stealing. Just don't beat him, you don't have d right 2 do that.

hahaha, they have rappers?

Their/Them  Tunde (awon Tunde) (Tunde and others)

Lol, that's not just a Nigerian thing, it's also done here in the States but in a slightly different way. For ex. Their/them tunde would be 'tunde them', I even do it myself when I don't feel like listing a whole bunch of names. When u say . . . .(a name) Them, the person's name u mentioned gives away d rest of d names because the rest of d names are usually people that are known to hang out or associate with the mentioned name.

Fiddy is wack because "CURTIS" didn't slam 5 mics?? Thatz the joke of the century.
What about his other albums?? Get Rich. . . ., Massacre and The Soundtrack of his motion picture??
Seriously, go n listen to T.O.S.(that should convince u).

What has where i reside gotta do with ma vault of information?? Chiogo. . . . .don't make me leave a gash on your pretty face.
Kanye is this, Kanye is that. . . . . Kanye is wack!!!!
Nobody feels Fiddy anymore so who buys his album? Poltergeists or Fallen Angels??
G-unit are homo thugz?? Vivica Fox didn't see it that way and i can bet Ciara is not seeing it that way too.

Umm, we're talking about the 'Curtis' album here 'innit'? and that's where Kanye West comes in. Like i said, Fiddy used to be ill, no kidding. Remember 'Many men', 'In da club', 'P.I.M.P' but now, he's just there. Vivica Fox didn't see him that way? i guess that's why she dumped his ass.
FYI, he's not dating Ciara. I know there were lots of rumors after Ciara's 'Can't leave 'em alone' video but she refuted all the claims and i heard
she dissed 50 for talking shit about how he's dating her on TV. Ok, am done with this issue. Don't nobody care bout 50 cent.

Damn! Onyinye2, don't be a hater now! Sometimes feeling like you're the best makes you get to the top. You damn right, we the best. Go Celtics go!

@Hannibal, let's be honest here, fiddy is wack. He used to be good but 'curtis' was bullshit, no kidding eg. 'Ayo technology' (what's that?), 'follow my lead'. Kanye west won, plain and simple. Rocafella records bought kanye's album??, what a joke! I just looked below ur user name and you stay in UK, how do u know all this? No, seriously. Kanye was better than 50 in '07, just accept it. And about Kanye's lyrics being too clean, big lie. He curses a whole lot! I never heard his songs at no bank, who feeds u all these lies? . To be honest, I don't care about kanye's music either but u gotta admit he killed 50 last year. Truth is nobody feels fiddy's music anymore. His music is meant for OGs my ass. The G-unit crew are homo thugs.

Wasn't his visit like a year ago? Or did he recently visit Nigeria again. Anywayz, I never heard about the naming-a-street-after-him thingy, so I guess this is new.

Never have you seen in ya lifetime
A more divine southern rapper with a swag like mine
Facin all kinda time but smile like I'm fine
Brag with such passion and shine without tryin
Believe me, pains a small thing to a giant
I was born without a dime, out the gutter I climbed
Spoke my mind and didn't stutter one time
Ali said even the greatest gotta suffer sometime
So I huff and puff rhymes, lyrics so sick with it
Set the standard in Atlanta how to get get get it
So you up and coming rappers wanna diss, just kill it
I'm officially the realest, point blank, period
Whether I still live in the hood or just visit
Whatever you can do in the hood I done did it
That's why the dope boys and the misfits feel it
This still the city long as tip live it, listen


T.I - No matter what

SeanT21:
Congrats. Where You at the parade?

No, i wasn't.

JeSoul:
LOL you are indeed late . But no worries, I held it down for beantown! World Champion Celtics!!! gosh that sounds good

I see you held it down for real!! It sure feels good. Now Kobe should stop being over-rated. haha.

From Stillwater

Though I prefer Jayz to Nas. Nas is not interesting.

Exactly, you got that right. Maybe that's why i also like jigga better although they're both good rappers.
But i think Nas would make a good husband _{sorry Kelis} i like the fact that he doesn't rap about hoes and all that._{or does he?}

@doyin13,

So, being a male= expert at rap. Last time I checked Lil' kim, Remy ma, Mc Lyte and co are females. I guess R & B is for females only, right? That explains why there are people like R.Kelly singing. You must be really 13 as ur screen name says cuz I can't understand ur sexist attitude.

Never wanted to be a rapper
I'mma be a doctor Cuz am a paper chaser
And if I don't be a doctor, I'ma switch to pharmacy
Young'ns don't like medicines but minez gon be a delicacy
Got everybody getting 'em in like it was sex
Still luv rap so my rap+medicine could clear a chicken pox
Oops, did I exceed the # of lines?
I could make it as rapper, I guess.

@Jackal, never mind.

@Les, aiight,will do that soon.

And the Boston Celtics won!! Yay!! Lolz, y didn't I see this topic earlier??. Anywayz, am so happy 4 Celtics, I love my city! And _{Rajon Rondo}

@Hannibal, I think eldee is saying the same thing as you on the 50 issue. Don't understand ur last post.

Happy birthday, girl! Wishing you all da best and success always.

So, how old are you now, seriously??

@Eldee, I see no relationship whatsoever between Lupe's rap style and that of Nas. Lupe is a geek rapper. Nas. . . He's more of a gangsta.

@Onyinye2, lupe is gud, isn't he? But he's still getting there. His only song I really like is 'superstar'. He was annoying to me at first with the whole geek thingy on 'kick push' and 'day dreaming'. But he's steppin up. I love 'hip hop saved my life'

@Hannibal, I get ur point. People tend to look down on Eminem cuz he's white, lolz. But the white dude can rap. It took me long to believe he was white cuz he's always been my favorite rapper when I was growing up. He's fading now though ever since he brought all his family problems on tv. Still respect him tho. U ever heard 'go to sleep'?? he did with DMX and Obie trice. That song is crazy!

If i tell You those child molesters ain't sick,i've got my opinion right? and u see how my opinion shows i'm as f**ked as a gay's ass If i tell You Bin Laden is right to blow up the towers,It's my opinion right but You see where that puts me and You heard what the Bible say bout Atheist?It was someone's opinion too! I wasn't dissing You,i was just trying to make You understand why some opinions are better kept inside. When i said "You cud get shot",You shoulda asked what i mean! i was speaking literally and now i know why u don't understand Nas.[/quote]Ok, you got me on that one. I can't even explain myself out of this but everybody knows child molestattion, genocide, etc are bad. But choice of music(see how I put that in bold) is based on one's opinion really(how many times do I gotta say that? Lol). To me, I don't think jigga is better than Nas but I also don't think Nas is better. Let's just say am in d same situation as Bamsyle who can't decide who's better between pac and biggie. I think 2pac is(was) better tho, that was easy. . I don't understand Nas?? What's there not to understand? He's one of my favorite rappers so is jigga. I just find it hard when it comes to people who I feel the same way about. Although he dissed the hell out of jay in 'ether', it's one of my favorite songs, I listen to that shit almost everyday. And I don't understand him? hope u get my point, am done arguing,lolz.

@Mr. Kaydee, I guess you know what everybody thinks, that's why nobody knows anything about hip hop except u. I made the 'opinions are like ass-holes' comment, don't really get what you were driving at by mentioning the comment. Anywayz, my point is not that nas is better or vice-versa. Thing is y'all be taking this shit seriously, talking bout 'Nas is a lyrical genius, he's a god' and bla. Like dang, we agree but y'all acting like you're getting paid or something. Like I said earlier, this whole thing is based on opinions. Everybody here wants every other person here to believe that a particular person among the two is better and when someone says otherwise, you rule them as 'babies and novices about hip hop'. That's not true cuz just because he's a god to u doesn't mean he has to be a god to others. Just like some people out there feel that Lil' wayne and Soulja boy are d best rappers alive. That's their goddamn opinion!

Bottomline, most of y'all here are forcing it. Talking bout 'you could get shot for saying that'. Get shot by who exactly and where? In Nigeria or where? Last time I checked few Nigerians care bout rap. Not even in the hoods of NYC would anybody get shot. Shot coo slapped nee.

Hannibal:
Lil' Wayne?
Puhleeeeeeaze, we are talking about the ALL TIME GREATS not some buncha chewing gum rap artistes. . . .

The Jigga Vs Nas battle was followed by a large army of audience. . . . They were fighting crown of KING OF NEW YORK.
Over 300,000 people voted on Hot 97 to determine the WINNER.
There was no injustice whatsoever. . . . .Nasir spits more lyrics than the full-lipped Jigga man.

L0L, calm down. I know Lil' wayne is a "chewing gum artiste". I just mentioned his 'victory' to show you how 'America votes'
Ok, i didn't know there was 300,000 people anywhere voting. Truth is i didn't even care much about rap back then. Hell, i was like 10.
But anywayz, winning on that battle doesn't make him better though. Like i said earlier, he had a lot more to say than jigga in the battle. It wasn't just
about "king of NY", jigga also slept with Nas' chick around that time so i think Nas had a lot to say. Jay-z barely said 2 words on 'supa ugly' so it was expected that Nas would win. Anywayz, i love both of 'em, i can't say who's better. End of story!

onyinye2:
All eminem talks about is his daughter and how much he misses her. im not saying he is a bad rapper, but just not as good as Jay Z

Eminem used to be my favorite rapper. word!! i dunno what happened to him though. He started bringing all his family problems into his songs.

Well, that's your top 10 which i mostly agree with by the way. But hey, that might not be America's top 10. You mentioned somewhere that Nas won in the MC battle because 'America voted'. This "America" that is voting is just a group of about five or 6 people, you know. Did u watch the last MTV top 10 MC? Lil' Wayne was # 1. I don't find him anywhere on your list. See, i don't mind if y'all think Nas is better than jigga (am indecisive) but u saying "America voted" is biased on your part because everybody knows America is filled with injustices. When they say "America", it cld be just one person representing the whole of this America which contains over 300 million people. Just think about that.
