it's just more fun for me this way. blame There's a God on the Mic.

since you brought up Gibbs, this is the comparison. (artists get a .5 boost for every 5 albums to the final average)

Nas is just as good of a rapper, and in my top 5 most listened to rappers ever. But if I'm talking about the music as a whole, right now I think Gibbs is doing a little better beats, songs, etc. wise. And yea, that's just me. I never mean to say 'math' in an objective sense, just 'bored one day in a record store' sense.

Either way, fake or real math, I don't think a difference of .11 means much to the average joe ie. me. Maybe actual mathematicians and scientists. Oh well.

Lastly, Midwestgangsta...is an album (if you missed the remastered, remixed NO DJ version dropped a week later...you lost). A fantastic one. Edged into my top 50 over the past few years.
