First of all the mixtape game is just as wack as the albums out now. All mixtapes do nowadays is promote commercial artists. A commercial rapper making songs on mixtapes does not make him underground!! lol If all you listen to is mixtapes, out of that 25000 songs, about 5000 are quality, the other 20000 just taking up hard drive space. There have not been 25,000 quality songs or freestyles made in history. You can put all Jay Z best songs on 2 or 3 cd's. Also, you just listed the most commercial artists in history above. If you think Jay Z and Nas are the only people who are still making quality shit, once again you are proving you don't listen to shit!! Nas and Jay-Z make up about .4% of a quality hip hop collection. There are several old school and new artists that put out hot shit daily, but are not heard because of the monopoly of the radio stations and something called being "blackballed". It's call the "Disney" effect. LL Cool J is speaking the truth about Jay-Z, he is just a paper champion. Hell of a businessman, but an overrated rapper. A pimp is the loneliest nigga!! Saddam Hussein had billions, and was hiding in a hole in the ground. You can't hide behind paper all your life!! Shaq is rich, that does make him a great rapper!! Jay-Z can't fool everybody!!
