so people who are caught up in that type of thing, which is indeed very popular now, might somehow sleep on thought. i personally think he's the best major label emcee out now...judging by everyone's current output TODAY. based on verses i've heard from major label emcees recently, if you lined everyone with a major label record out in stores, thought would outshine them all, verse for verse. hell, throw indie rappers in there too. i'm trying to think of someone with a record out now that could burn him and i'm sincerely drawing a blank.

he'll be fine though...

i really think common needs to let dude get a VERSE on one of his albums. he's been roots-affiliated since 96 at least and thought hasn't gotten ONE verse on a common record? canibus, de la, that random dude on the hustle, slum village, mos def & scarface (on the 'corners' rmx), YET NOT ONE VERSE FROM THOUGHT ON A COMMON ALBUM/SINGLE? you let dude do a hook like he's nate dogg or something. LOL.

COME ON, COM.

I know Thought tours a lot, but get your man on a record already.

(on a total side note, why doesn't Com get this type of criticism? thought, to me, has the more energetic delivery b/t the two of them. Or Lloyd Banks? Who on earth sounds less charismatic on the mic than that guy? Sigh. I guess no one really listens to records any more)
