What the fuck am I talking about, you say?..Well, while reading through the comments in the "Tupac named most overrated artist of all times" article I saw some of you hit the nail on the head.
It's all marketing.
You see, the majority of people--the majority of hip hop fans, are entirely too predictable. Think about it, it's pretty evident. In fact, here's the formula in a few easy steps:
[Popular Artist Name] is pretty god damn awful. His [name of skill], is horrific, he's definitely not [popular conception ]. In fact, [Popular artist from your coast], can smash him in a battle any day.
Alright, now lets apply the formula.
Jay-Z is pretty god damn awful. His flow is horrific, he's definitely not the best rapper alive. In fact, T.I. can smash him in a battle any day.
And now you wait for a JiggaJocker to come along. The thing to remember about stans is that whether it's a JiggaJocker, WayneHead, Nasshole,or a WassaluWuarrior, they always run in packs--so when one yells fire, you can expect them to come in a mass. They're like the the Locust in Gears Of War--they're dumb as shit, run in packs, and you can barely understand what the fuck they're saying when they're mad.
So what am I saying exactly?--What I'm saying is that when Blender decided to put Pac on top of that list, they had already predicted the reaction of the hip hop community and judging by the majority of comments, you all reacted accordingly.
Now I know alot of you are going to say, "Jokesta, you do the same shit with your blogs." Which is only half true, yes I know how you will react to what I say, but unless I'm posting a question as I did with Dr. Dre (seriously, I just wanted to know what the hype in your eyes was), I usually back up my opinion and will argue it out with anyone, which means _I_ will back up whatever I say.
As far as agreeing with the Blender list--I do but I don't. I think Pac as well as Biggie, are both drastically overrated. But to say Pac is the most overrated person in music ever is too much.
Anyways, have a good weekend folks.
Oh yeah, gotta point out the comment of the week from N-Word Please
And in case you're too lazy to read and since we don't do alotta stuff outside of Hip Hop here's a recap brought to you by Jump Off Tv. Ps. Don't ask me about the host and her oddly retarded pauses and blank stares.

After watching the video, I am looking foward to that Sticky Fingaz movie project. I like the concept, and it sounded pretty good from the clips I saw. Plus I always liked Sticky. Also that host chick is hot. She is a horrible host, and needs to take teleprompter reading classes, but she is very attractive! I guess that is all you need to get on nowadays. PEACE Come check out The Livin' Large Morning Show w/ Bobby Livin', and Tony Large Sundays 11am-1pm EST at www.clubmegamix.com. You'll like it. listening to "Exidus" by New Yitty
Lil Wayne is pretty god damn horrible. His lyrics, is horrific he's defitinely not a great lyricist. In fact Papoose can smash him.
Papoose is wack...even compared to Wayne's overrated ass..
@DC what do you know about hip hop, you from DC. go listen to some wack ass go-go or something.
na man poose is garbage waynes dick suckin lip ring ass can beat him with a dick in the mouth. jokesta is right tho its like everything i look at has half the group arguin bout one artist n half the group bout someone else. especially when 50 n game r brought up. but nobody ever has good reasons y their favorite is better... but as for the tupac shit, come on u have to b joking me. how bout like bruce springstein or bon jovi or somethin i mean come on. shit id even go as far as to say michael jackson is more overrated than pac. (waiting to get trashed for that)
and his fagget ass annoying niggas hype up every one of his recycled punchlines like its the first time they ever heard them...

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
NASSHOLE YO THAT SHIT HAD ME DYINNGGG HAHA
GOOD SHIT JOKESTA
how come lil wayne wasnt the most overatted?
seriously
Cuz they LOVE him
I thought u would kno
well i said that in the sense of that he should be the most overrated
lMAOO I FEEL YOU DEFNOISE i aint gonna lie i was on WAYNES DICK WHEN HE CAME OUT WIT DROUGHT 3 4-5 den he got Boring with MAKING HES vOICE LIKE T-PAIN i just liked hes Freestyles that was it....o and Dedication 2 the song dat people really got into wayne....."CANNON"
how about you stop getting annoying
and stfu
hahaha i actually hate plies so
you should stfu
because you really are annoying
all the comments so just stop
LOL! Good title and good article man! its funny in the sense u can tell a lot of cats don't think for themselves, they just go off of the comments someone they agree with w/o even reading the article!
thats true
I love the title to this blog..lol, plus that picture is down right funny with the captions. N-word please comment is priceless..lmfao. Beside that the rest is funny too.
damn well nice blog..
it is true that hip hop operates like the animal kingdom
niggas are JUST like lemmings..when one dude runs off a cliff, they all want to..
if one guy reps an artist hard enough, then hell blow up..and then people will love him till the media starts to hate on him/her..
case in point...artists like lil' kim, pretty much all of the roc, tone loc, mc hammer..i mean all the one hit wonders.. and SOON to be wayne
fame comes and goes..and so do peoples opinions but the shit that pisses me off the MOST is that people will just agree with popular opinion..and on a side note..FUCK all of this "coast" i mean rap is rap, dont be makin it about coasts..thats what exactly what pac and big DIDNT want.
and btw you killed it jokesta!
What if Birdman(the W.O.A.T=Worst of all time) had a legion of fans like Lil Wayne??
haha <50 cent>WOAT WOAT WOAT WOAT WOOOAT</50 Cent>
damn jokesta why you hatin so bad? 50 worst of all time? i think thats a little..nay A FUCKING LOT far fatched...i cant count as high of number of mc's that are worse then fiddy, and no im not a 50 cent dick rider or nothin, but if you hatin so hard on someone you just as bad as someone thats so far on their dick
That's not what I meant dumbass
<50> means in 50's voice.
ahhh iccc. like woah woah woah woah woah woooaah
i think 2pac is more overrate then biggie cause every year a new 2pac cd with the same shit on

-and bizarre from d-12 will name his next album diabetes is serious.
holla at ya boy!!!!
Monkey see monkey do.
ur all morons, 30 sumthin yearold idiots.
This blog is actually very true, but I don't see wat the point of it wuz tho
biggie the most overrated piece of shit ever.
Biggie should not be put with pac . Pacs music trancended hip hop. THey got college courses after him. Biggie had dope songs and i compare him to 50 cent , if he continued living. Biggie Kill muthafuka songs check, biggie fucks girls song check, biggie had diddy as a side kick and 50 has yayo . big would be the equvilanet of 50 if biggie still lived. Instead of iget money , i roll blunt propa. 2pac was fuking madonna end of the story
Typical dumb ni**er.Did you even read the post 2faggalips? Geeeeza H Price!
And just so you know...That college course on Tupac was rank one of the dumbest college courses ever...
Tupac wasn't just a rapper. And no I'm not just talking bout how he was an actor too. Tupac had probably one of the best minds of the last quarter century, and the charisma and public speaking skills to back it. Add that to his radical ideas of change and finding what the probl;ems are in our world and working together to fix it, and uplifting people as a whole instead of only talking bout guns n shit... plus he had the most energy out of any artist, ever. On top of that he was a great speaker. In many ways he was a revolutionary and the first person since MLK that could have started (and led and finished) an entire movement if he wanted to. So to have someone put him (anywhere) on a most-overrated list is bananas.. let me ask you something--how much has soulja boy contributed to our society and the advancement in thinking and going forward for people instead of backwards? and pac on that list instead of him? shit is bonkers.
how you gonna compare biggie to 50 cent???? i had to read that 5 times to make sure i read it right. but for real before i look like a dick rider biggie would rap about guns, partyin, bitches you right bout that....but he did it good now he look bad for rappin bout that shit cause everybody do it now and its played out and not only that they dont do it good caus ethey aint real they dont really got guns and they dont got the money like they say. but like at the time wen BIG was alive that shit was fresh
FUCK ALL YOU LUPE FIASCO HATERS..HOW IS LUPE FIASCO OVERRATED??? IF ANYONE CAN ANSWER THAT PLEASE TELL ME
From the M-A...D-I to the S to the O-N
Po'in, to getcha open
Move like a nigga's supposed to get the dough
It'll go with the flow that I'm holdin'
Joe'n'em, they ownin' up - up on enough
Stay in the zone, that I go in
That I go in, when I go in and go in
Of the po'ins, and the rope man
Crucial conflict was smokin'
But a nigga like me, I don't be chokin'
So I proceed at low speed, low key
Like a OG in a '03 Loc-in'
Rollin', like a OZ in a B-league
Both pins, like a bowlin' ball when I ball
But I never fall for the oki-dokin'
White walls, with the slow-speed motion
Stash-box for the police pokin'
Rolie showin, shorty showin, Hokey Pokin'
Turnin it around with me to bust em down cuz they know he golden
Exactly
I'm in it from the minute I was in it till the minute
that I spit it and it's finished
And it's sad for me
Until the second wind, and reinvent it with a vengeance
revisit and make 'em give it
Back to me
LUPE FIASCO IS HIPHOP
This nigga mad lol
FUCK LUPE
Overrated ass nigga wit his weird as lines dat he didn't even completely write
Yea dats right check them writing credits on his albums n you'll find more names than jus his
O shit 2 ppl propped me
I would like 2 kno da names of those ppl
[Popular Artist Name] is pretty god damn awful. His [name of skill], is horrific, he's definitely not [popular conception ]. In fact, [Popular artist from your coast], can smash him in a battle any day.
i dnt see that anywhere in that pac article really...am i just blind or what? what you mean we reacted accordingly? if somebody said black people were a stupid race dont you think they woudl get mad wethor or no that was "the way they were sposed to react" they react like that cuz thats how it is
LMAO @ JerseyCityNigga
that boy's crazy!
I DO get sick o mook n his lil squad tho. I had serius jones to win that battle they had
oh, y'all wanna read somethin that'll REALLY crack u up?
aight, here it is:
young jeezy is the voice of our generation, his profound lyrics are an inspiration (no pun intended) to us all. the fact that he's just another jay-z biter is merely an asterisk in the pages of his on-going legacy.
LMAO!!!
This nigga Jokesta read the 48 laws of power one too many times. watch out yall!
and it's just shy of obvious.
YOOO CHRIS JUST DID A GOOD TEST and JOKESTA UR RIGHT MAN....LOL
It's some real fuckin idiots on here!!! I come back from the streets to this type of BULLSHIT. 1st off how the fuck ya'll mention B.I.G. on some ignorant shit. Big 1st song is a classic and everything he put out after just got better and better. Lets not forget, he only got to drop 2 albums, and drugs, guns, and fuckin hoes was the talk and life of the day. Don't forget Big brought ya'll outta that Karl Kani/gold era and introduced ya'll to that Platinum & European shit everybody wanna claim now. B.I.G = The Greatest._. Holla Back Haterz & Groupiez!!
Now for the Jokesta clown [good name]. Yeah I know you put this out there to get the "nigga" type of response, so i'll indulge you. You don't gotta be a groupie to love hip hop and everyone should have their favorites. With that said let the reason be for some real hip-hop shit and not that groupie shit. Don't tell me your rapper's the greatest because of his delivery (Domino's got the best delivery and they pizza taste like shit!) and don't tell me it's because he got "hot beats", the Producers make the beats. So learn to think and do for yourselves and remember reasoning starts with reason, so try to have a good one. So when its all said and done I must agree with you jokesta, even if you gotta put that funny B.S. [ie. BIG overrated] with it.
pac was overrrated, but biggie was far more overrated. how could someone with just two albums be considered the greatest anything.
nasshole!sme funny shit.but ths shit true as fuck.i was propbably 1 of th few people who agreed wit blender sayin tht pac is overarted.seriusly people hw many people u knw hav 500 pac songs n thy aktualy lisen to all thse trax?i knw like 1 out of 20.tht means th otha 19 hav pac jst to say thy gt pac.n wen pac is brought up thy'l jmp on his dik n sey he th greatest evn tho th only song thy knw is changes n until th end of time.
Hey, i have an idea, let's all stfu about what we think of the artists and talk about, OMFG THE SONGS!
jokesta you always come wit somethin crazy yet true. n dis a very cool track. coulda done wit or without wayne
fuck that this bullshit ass site is overrated, nothing but grad school journalists, tabloid writers and people who really dont understand the culture they try to surround themselves with.
i wonder if this white mufucka jokesta as a kid decided: HEY I THINK WHEN I GROW UP IM GONNA BE A WRITER FOR A BLOG SITE FILLED WITH LOSERS WHO HAVE NO POINT IN LIFE BUT TO CONSTANTLY BASH PEOPLE WHO SHINE IN A BETTER LIGHT THAN ME.
and im not taking shots at you on some jiggajocker shit. NO
i just believe you have no right talk so much shit about real niggas (pac) when you are just a white boy who grew up off dan van halen or some shit. i admit sometimes you may be correct and thoes times i never say shit, But you have never had to experience what 2pac, and the rest of us has had to experience being black and targeted, he shared that common bond and embraced it. BUT TO WHITE AMERICA HE HAD NO GIMMICKS SO HE IS THE MOST OVERRATED???
ur dumb im white and i respected pac for his message even though it was targeted at blacks
lol, I'm not white, and I grew up in Cypress Hills projects in East New York, Brooklyn. Go Google that and see what you come up with. Then tell me I can't relate to any of pac's songs you fucking moron.
Yall niggas funny 4 trashin me
Charles Hamilton >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lupe
Da more u trash me da more of ur inner bitchassness shows
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ Dob Dealer
if you feel this way about this site why would you invest your time in setting up a profile and then commenting on it? and why so sensitive about the articles they REPORT? its not like HE came out and said it... he brought to our attention that a mag said that about Pac! if it wasn't said here we would have been talking about it in the barber shop or some other forum!
good article jokesta always feelin your shit
