I cosign that from my computer but not in person (don't wanna get into a figh).

I've been thinking that Jay had him after Hard Knock.

And I preferred Pac at the time of the feud. Barely.

Still, Ready to Die is essential to anyone who claims they like straight-forward 'street' hiphop. And Life after Death was a blueprint album (sorry, Jig) that so many lamo rappers tried to follow.

Nas was a better writer (before 1996) than BIG, IMO. BUT, BIG (and a slew of others) are better than Nas overall, IMO.

And the GOAT argument is a taste issue that I try to avoid. Especially when dealing with the dead and those who don't have enough material to support GOAT arguments.

I have traded this CD in and rebought it. I expected too many things from her. (under the table cosign)

Cosign with my chest puffed out.

Purple rain kicks ass.

reluctant cosign.

Fits the underground love circuit category. Good by many measures, but overrated. Cosign (the Shaq-Ostertag line on '..Nothing New' was killer)


>*the neptunes

The Swizz beats of this time period. Hit or miss. Swizz with a few more "instruments". Cosign.
