		<description><![CDATA[Once again Jay Z is OVERRATED to the core. God MC? hahaha you kidding me? I could care less what anyone says there are  rappers  much better than Jay Z all time. NAS, EM, Kool g rap, KRS one, Big L, biggie, pac, AZ, and the grandaddy of them all RAKIM. Now I ain&#039;t saying Jay is whack cuz he isn&#039;t but COME ON NOW he is not as good as everybody makes him out to be. Fine he has a lot of money but does money now decide who the best is? then maybe we should put wayne in the conversation. SMH. and for those who are getting salty over an article just because your fave rapper is not on there does not mean he is not a good MC. he just stays out of beefs and trouble and that&#039;s a good thing. sheesh pple be reading too much into everything.]]></description>

on &#039;Criminal Minded&#039; he &quot;sported a pistol something far from a lover&quot;...THEN he did the Malcolm X Uzi pose for &#039;By All Means Necessary&#039;...if you don&#039;t UNDERSTAND the picture and the transition to &#039;Edutainment&#039; you need more studies...&#039;Edutainment&#039; is full of jewels like &#039;Beef&#039; &amp; &#039;Why Is That?&#039;...

plus he has &#039;South Bronx&#039;, &#039;Bridge Is Over&#039;, &#039;Love&#039;s Gonna Getcha&#039;, &#039;Sound Of The Police&#039;, his verses on &#039;Mad Izm&#039;, projects like &#039;Self Destruction&#039;, &#039;H.E.A.L.&#039;, the comic book song &#039;Break The Chain&#039;, his verse on the D&amp;D All Stars, cult faves like &#039;9mm Goes Bang&#039;, &#039;Criminal Minded&#039;, &#039;Poetry&#039;, &#039;My Philosophy&#039;, and &#039;Still #1&#039; (get the Nelly issue?), not forgetting the PM Dawn bum rushing off the stage scenario. 

Now they may have not known what I typed or didn&#039;t have time so they let your comment rot, but if you lived this Hip Hop music from the start like I did, you will be in a room with very few people who would actually say KRS is horrible. More people would say they don&#039;t agree with his perspective, not he&#039;s horrible. 

You can&#039;t play any music from &#039;86 to &#039;93 w/o a BDP/KRS song...]]></description>
