Nah...they are NOT BETTER than Keith Elam
Guru was nice but I think Preemo was head & shoulders the superior member in Gang Starr. Same with CL Smooth & Pete Rock.
Both producers made better music away from those emcee's. CL Smooth is a better emcee than Guru.
Hey. The tread is called unpopular opinions.
Okay I understand your point on that.
I think my unpopular but I guess strangely also unpopular opinion is that in both those specific cases those pairings were so perfect that no OTHER rapper has been able to consistently sound as good on those 2 super producers beats. No one finds a pocket crafts a hook flows on Preemo / Pete beats like CL & Guru....
And another unpopular opinion i think both those mcs kinda sorts resented the fact that they become permanently attached to one single god level producer like and never really able to venture on their own
* Much respect to the incredible Jazzamatazz series
Specifically because of the Jazzamatazz series and comparing their solo songs i would respectfully disagree
And I'm a CL smooth defender
Just one of many threads saluting CL
And I still say he is a under appreciated MC
And while Pete and Common were incredible still aint as good as with CL
* the Music Class when we cover entire albums in coming soon...
I can't say enough about these 2, the closest in consistency to me is probably ONLY Gangstarr. Love this track CL is NEVER mentioned in great MC debates...we can talk about the brilliance of Pete Rock tracks at another time...just enjoy this uncut hip hop.

I'd like to...introduce myself (repeated)

Hit the lights and I appear beyond...

Why would a person go over their friend's house and eat food with the friend's family then all of the sudden leave, proclaiming "the chicken tastes like wood." Then some time later, you're still friends with person? Something ain't right, so you didn't like the food so you abruptly leave without saying anything? That's rude and you're not my friend right now.
For anyone who says Xmas is all about childhood memories, I disagree and say that Xmas ain't felt like Xmas since Fab stop dropping a new mixtapes on that day.
I've never heard a wack Mannie Fresh beat.... on God NEVER!!!
Being Hood Rich sounds like a bad thing:
"[Being] hood rich is an extension of the BIG TYMER philosophy. 'Hood rich' is making it happen, although you're from a bad situation," says Baby. "When you don't have anything, you want those things associated with those who do," he says. "[Being] hood rich is when you got a Benz but, nowhere to live; or a gang of Gucci, and your crib is tore-up," says Mannie. "Listen, we're just a couple of cats from the projects with a taste for fine living. We just spit-game [persuasive bragging and slick talking] and talk about the things that we're interested in. Those things just happen to be fine cars, fine jewelry and fine living," he summarizes, matter-of-factly! "We just spit about the things in life that excite us," continues Baby.

If Dame, Chris & Irv (RIP) & Ja all REFUSED to speak on Jay 50 and Ashanti from day one?
They would have been happier, healthier more successful people.

Hmmm....I think i might have made the same or similar unpopular opinion early.
This is a good topic to research
Big boi dont get enough recognition
I hate all this talk
You don't OWE anyone anything in a general sense.
But specifically outsiders cant insert themselves in other people business
These podcasts are the devil playground
Pray for these simple fools thinking chatgpt got all the answers.
We need more real.mc to be in the studio live in person
Cam consistently impresses me.
We need more brotherhood in hip hop
Mattress money>>>>>
This is on my workout list but Luda play too much to be on anyone’s top 5
Would you have him in Atlanta top 5?
Over who?
TI
3 stacks
Jeezy
Hell Big Boi
Killer Mike
Future
Gucci
I’m not even from Atlanta and yeah Luda got skills but he’s known for comedic songs and videos
That verses between NO LIMIT & Cash Money has potential to go very very very bad and nobody really cares at this point because Magic dead,C still in prison,Mystikal in prison, MIA X don’t rock with P and according to my cousin Raj Smoove ain’t no guarantee Fiend and Mac will be there
Truthfully P and Baby just need to square up and get this shit over with

If we doing unpopular takes,Cam is overrated imo and got away with a whole bunch of nonsense because he from NY if he was from anywhere else yall would call him corny
I actually hate all lists. The top 5 reference was merely to point out he should always be in all best mc conversations.
*And I didn't miss that slick sideways mention of Big Boi like that man isnt a monster mc that is hugely under appreciated also.
I personally have Luda over Mike, gucci and future.
To reduce Luda to some type of hip hop comedian is ridiculous.
Okay since we doing this...
Future to me is just okay.
Future to me is just okay.
Nah I got respect for Big Boi that’s why he got mentioned
I like killer Mike not really a Gucci or Future fan with exception of a few songs but in a versus against TI who you got? Lisa is in the same breath as Redman in my book and Red got skills
As far as lists goes I like to hear different lists because of diversity, it’s all opinion
For instance Gates ain’t in my Louisiana top 5
Juvi
Mystikal
Wayne
Jay Elec
Currency
Drug mumble rap, him and Thug
Jay Z ego prevented what could’ve been the best cd in rap history with him X and Ja
Murdainc cd would’ve went crazy and I’m from the south
Murdainc cd would’ve went crazy and I’m from the south
Because “sex sells” we’ll never have a female rapper to go mainstream that could be a good example to our daughters
Gawd damn it man
We always bully our own people for bullsh*t and let these white folks slide
Also, Peace God
I’ve heard this story before but you’re right
Ain’t nobody checking Em about anything
