i’ll just say happy belated birthday to Jay-Z. fuck what the haters say, keep doin your thing big homie.

cosign Tony Grands for giving Too Short an honorable mention. I was at the Snoop and DJ Quik concert a couple weeks ago and Short came out and rocked it. age ain’t nothin but a number, indeed.

and to Combat Jack, sorry about your families loss.

But Loco, your right about Jay not being the top lyricist in Rap. J. Cole can even outmatch him and he’s Jay’s artist. But I think Jay embodies many of the qualities of a Great Rapper. My friend and I were talking about this the other day when comparing Em and Jay. Em maybe a better wordsmith than Jay, but Jay beats him in his range of diversity in subject matter, flow and sound as well as his use of double meanings. That along with his success in selling records and billboard charts makes Jay a definition of the all possible qualities of a rapper.

[LL Cool J]
Ayo this is the infinite, intelligent, extravagant and eloquent
That shit y’all talkin is irrelevant
I put it down from the gutter to the tenement
It’s LL Cool J nigga, everything I do is excellent
And I got to represent, Q-Boro, the thorough
Y’knawmean? We get down, we get down baby
Check this shit out right here, uh
E Pluribus Unum is the album I’ma drop
It’ll make you bitch niggas as hard as rocks
Givin head to the glock, pretend it’s hard cock
Splashin niggas I came slow through the block
I’m, the original, visual, individual
Ten times platinum your career’s lookin critical
Reach for this, motherfuck being a criminal
Look in your bitch eyes, the vibe is subliminal
You wanna freestyle fuck that
I need at least seven figures to even touch that
But since everybody was underestimatin’ my format
I dropped Ill Bomb and now niggas want more of that
Aint a rapper dead or alive fuckin wit me
Ask the last bitch that tried to come and get me
Talk about paper, I can talk about broads
I can talk about movies, I can talk about awards
Fuck the fantasies, yo I got all four
And 2001′ll be mine, by law
Why name the Greatest Of All Times?
Because for fifteen years I kept y’all standin in line
Lovin the way I shine and my lyrics combine
With the ruggedest, illest beats that Def Jam can find
Fuck them other niggas with their 9 or 10 hits
My hits run deep as the emotions of your bitch
Back in the days it was the M fast stick
But now the Bentley is all get more whores on the dick
This ones for Clue and my Riker’s Island niggas
That remember when I came through
The big O B C C H D M 2 C 74
Little Nasi and the crew, y’all niggas come home
Word up, the new album gon’ be the shit baby
Aint no doubt about it, E Pluribus Unum
Out of many one, The G.O.A.T., Greatest Of All Time…

I love Ghost as much as the next person, but his solo albums after his first two just don’t have the sales to back up the quality. LL and KRS def deserve to be in the argument for GOAT. DJ Premier was the more important part of Gangstarr as Guru has just disappeared.

Sorry, but when you’re talkin GOAT, #1 albums and sales do matter. Jay has dominated the rap scene for 15 years now. No rapper has done that.

“E-40’s been making the best music of his career since 06’s My Ghetto Report Card”

You’ve got to be kidding me man. E-40 made his best joints back in the 90s yo!! Were you sleep the entire time when his 90s shit came out or what? “In A Major Way”, “Hall of Game”, “Element of Surprise” would all shit on his new stuff man. Don’t forget about Charlie Hustle and the Grit and Grind joints as well. Do your research man. 40 Water just figured out a way to stay relevant by messing with Lil Jon. Go back and listen to his older stuff again man.
