ahahah tahts funny shit

The reason Eminem was one of the only rappers I listened to was because, as you stated - I live in Australia. I dont have easy access to underground hip-hop like you do, and this site and some others are the first time I was able to find out about new music that was coming from the underground. I had a poor internet connection with a strict download limit before I got my own job meaning I couldn't go around downloading 10 songs a day, and I'm not willing to go around throwing $30 everytime a new album came out. Is it my fault that I don't have easy access to non-mainstream music?

And I dont know if you agree with me or not, but at the time, Eminem was one of the only good mainstream rappers around. I listened to Jay-Z and Nas as well, and some other ones like Xzibit.

In case you want to know, I started listening to hip-hop in 1995. True, I was only 7-8 years old, but I still knew what I liked. Since then, 2pac and Biggie have both been killed, their posthumous albums not being anything special. Nas only had Stillmatic which was recently released and was good. DMX hadn't released anything I liked since 1999.

Therefore, without underground access and a slowdown of good commercial music, I was limited to Jay-Z and Eminem.

The only point I'm trying to make is that you shouldn't attack people for listening to music that you personally don't like. I don't like 2pac much, but I don't go around shouting at people that he sucks and that they're idiots for listening to him.

And you tried to prove Canibus was dope by comparing him to "nerd" rappers and saying he's better, which for the most part, he is.

Sorry if I pissed you off or anything, but it wasn't my intention.

I think its like marmite.. you either love his shit or hate it..

I've never bought a Jay Z album.. or even d/l a track.. just ain't a fan of his style I guess.. never appealed to me.. go figure..

JayZ is my fave rapper... and just cuz he aint sold as much albums to the masses like EM, is cuz EM is white...im not racist cuz EM is a great Lyricist... but lets face it he's white and raps. And nelly well he's pop... thats basically it. But JayZ has da streetz behind him, cuz even his commercial songs are still tight. The bottom line is that Album sells dosent mean what talent an artist has... The artist talent is measured by what his musical content is, and Jigga is as good as an MC their is... n tho deez haters dont like him ohh well, Fuck them.

are you on crack saying em is better then jay you damn dummie

EM and JAY hmmm?? ....sorry to break it to yall but im not feeling neither of them any more........besides......ghostwriting for peoples, stealing peoples lines and then peoples in the XXL magazine going to call ya out on the Borrowed/Lender Board. strictly garbage if ya asked me. HipHop isnt for the love and your own creation no more .Jay should Definately should get out the game because he has been On BIggies case every since dude died. Alot of peoples have, it's ignorant.

yall mufukas need to recognize reasonable doubt i dont give a fuck about how many albums he sold why should you jigga is one of the nicest he dont even write his shit hes off the top with his stop ya hatin he be rymin about that hoes and dough too much ? wouldnt you if thats all you saw dont get it misconscrewed hes from tha gutta and just came up nice

Resonable Doubt didnt sell albums in the market as a huge succes, but its a fuckin *CLASSIC*

Hmmm... Sounds like the movie Scarface
Didnt do much on the movie screen, but ScarFace is a fuckin movie *CLASSIC* which is owned by like everyone!

and BluMami sayin he should get out the game..???WTF he gets out da game will just loose its already weak roster... He's one of the few left with actual talent, cuz if u gon cum N say 50 Cent, Nelly or another wack rapper has the game headed in the right direction i'll fuckin die of laughtr from ya niggaz comment's

btw... i just looked this up... jay z is in the Guiness Book of World Records for the most #1 albums in a career... that's out of every genre of music. Pretty interesting I think.

if u dont like him then dont listen to him its that simple

^no if u dont like him u know nothin about street rap and shouldnt even open your mouth about it or even try to listen to it.... simple as that ;)

I like him i havemost of his albums i am just gettin sick of theses kids bitchin about other artists who are 10000000000000X more succsessfull then they will ever be
