shadowmantis, thank you for understanding the overexploded concept of Biggie and 2pac. And what bothers me is that people still make albums with them. 2pac even had a movie, cmon. Just die already. Their presence in rap today personally takes away from whatever aura they had before they died, its ridiculous.
heres what bothers me the most about rap (besides all of the commonality these days)
shadowmantis talks about the Wu Tang Clan, and what he liked/didnt like about 'em. Wu Tang Clan is OK, thats a group, their albums are meant to have multiple person(s) rapping in a song. But as I mentioned before, a guy like Ludacris, a rapper who makes an album and puts ONLY his name on it, may only perform half as much as anybody else on that album. The reason I like Eminem (minus D12) is he can make, in my opinion, a good CD, with about 90% of the rhymes coming from his own mouth. He does have the occasional "featuring" song, but thats fine by me. In other words, what I'm saying: Make your own damn album, is that too fucking hard for you?
When I first posted here, I wasnt hoping for a battle of the artists. I was hoping people would start discussing other aspects, such as the material and substance of the rap game today.
