BROOKLYN STAND UP...BEDSTY, NOSTRAND IS DA AVE COME HOLLA

Star,

Nas' music is not necessarily the direction of the mainstream... I'm elated that he was still able to go Gold and get certified SOMETHING, in this snap and supermannin' age of mainstream hip-hop.

When an artist who doesn't conform to the tendencies of the industry is STILL able to certify, it means they have some type of clout and staying power within the industry. It's not going to be a hit or two, and that's it. It also means they have a loyal fanbase and, in Nas' case, shows CONSISTENCY.

Usher's, who went MEGALOGOOFY Platinum his last time out (and we all LOVE OR HATE that album, lol, from hearing it blast out of every dorm room and female car for about a year straight), and he's been out for FOUR months and isn't Gold yet! So give Nas A LITTLE CREDIT! I copped 2 for my dude!!

ill believe it when i see it

Now this is what I'm waiting for right here. That EMINEM SHIT!!!

I'll puke, eat it, and freak you
Battle? I'm too weeded to speak to
The only key that I see to defeat you
would be for me to remove these two Adidas and beat you
and force feed you 'em both, and on each feet is a cleat shoe
I lift you off your feet so fast with a roundhouse
you think I pulled the fuckin ground out from underneath you
I ain't a fuckin G, I'm a cannibal
I ain't tryin to shoot you,
I'm tryin to chop you into pieces and eat you
Wrap you in rope and plastic, stab you with broken glass
and have you with open gas just strapped to a soakin mattress
Coke and acid, black magic, cloaks and daggers
Fuck the planet, until it spins on a broken axis
I'm so bananas I'm showin up to your open casket
to fill it full of explosive gasses
and close it back with a lit match in it
while I sit back and just hope it catches
Blow you to fragments
Laugh, roll you and smoke the ashes

Slim Shady

ok i'm a nas fan... but did u really think a album that was gonna b called Nigger would sell?
when white people r the main people who buy albums...

Real Talk ...that album could have been the best fuckin album ever and it wouldn't go plat just by da content of the album

Sales don't define how good an album is, FUCK NUMBERS, Untitled is one of the best albums of the year. The entire concept was ill. Only Nas could do that album, and it is what was needed, music to make us think. No one else is capable of doing that and getting the message out to 500,000 people. Others may sell, but the quality isn't the same. Props to Jeezy and Lupe for creating concepts that also had people open up there eyes to the world around them. Since most "concious" artists aren't able to get these important messages out to the public, it's good to see others step up and handle business. I'd like to see Jay, Kanye, Luda and Andre follow suit.

As for Em being released this year, that would be cool. Haven't heard from the guy in awhile. He is hip hop's "court jester," someone with the ability to make you laugh with his crazy, over the top lyrics and videos. With the country being so tense do to thr recession and the election, it would be good to have Em drop some shit to get your mind off the bullshit, and get people laughing again. Hope the four year hiatus didn't affect him too much, alot of shit has changed since 2004. Of course he will sell millions, but will the quality of music suffer? Will his new ish sound dated, fit in with what's going on now, or will Dre bless him with production that will revolutionize? We will have to wait and see...

Best Rapper Alive and the best news I heard in Hip Hop in awhile. I hope he addresses that lil bitch wayne too because his ego and hype are fuckin annoyng and ridiculous. My prediction is that King Mathers will be the best Album of the last 5 years.

@ charismatic... GOLD!!!! are you serious??? nothing less than platinum is acceptable for an artist the caliber of nas!!!if you think of the cash it cost to assemble an album 500,000 copies is chicken feed....plies went gold....nas should be at platinum or its a flop!!!! PERIOD

ill believe dis when i see it this nigga supposed to drop last year wasnt he and every other artist on shady but aint nobody drop shit

You are all forgetting something: IT HAS to go Gold 1st, BEFORE it goes platinum... as the same with EVERY platinum album... If you have $100, it means you had $50 at some point.

OFF TOPIC BUT:

T.I. Paper Trail: 8 days away. Go support another legend next Tuesday. Oh yeah & he is still Tha King!!!!!

Lmao.

DID YOU LISTEN TO "THE EMINEM SHOW"??

I liked MMLP better than the other albums too. I thought it was the only one that was street, I could listen to most of it without skipping tracks. The other joints had classic material, but also had too many nonsense tracks. I'll get trashed for saying that from die hard Em fans and Stans, but it is what it is. Alot of that shit he says is simply shit niggas don't feel. The artistry is there as far as flow and the wordplay but alot of that over the top shit we just can't fuck with. Quote 50(he was talking about Ja Rule, but it applies here)

"I ain't never heard nobody say they liked him in the hood..."

If you ask 10 Black hip hop heads, they rate Em either top 10 or not at all. If you ask 10 white hip hop heads, he's usually the best. Nothing wrong with either view point. People simpliy like what they can identify with more.

u no y he better than wayne 2 me.. and even tho wayne is my one of da rappers i play the most

its cause em rap with emotion...u feel his lyrics

They do the same thing they say dumb ass shit that makes no sense and mothafuckas buy into it because it rhymes.

fuck u get off they meat. they average ass rappers. both em and wayne is overrated as hell.

I buy into Eminem's rhymes because he has emotion, he has good beat selection, he has talent, and he has brought other good artists to the table (Obie Trice, Royce da 5'9", Trick-Trick). Who has Lil Wayne put on? NO ONE! Eminem is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than Lil Wayne. So we can stop having debates about them!

He produced most of Eminem Show and Encore.

Maybe that's why I liked MMLP better.

an maybe dats why Eminem Show got da best production outta all of his albums

and mayb thts y encore had the worst beats.... but ye eminem is a pretty straight producer.... i WANT to hear "Keys to the City" prod. by DJ Premier... THAT will b some good ass shit... and lets not forget that eminem can in fact make some GOOD ass beats... like
moment of clarity, renegade by jay-z
patiently waiting by 50 cent
till i collapse, lose yourself, the way i am all by eminem
loyalty, purple pills both by d12
on fire, warrior 2, hands up, till the end all by lloyd banks
drama setter by tony yayo
we all die one day, lady, hands on you, got some teeth all by obie trice
we aint by the game
my name by xzibit
runnin, loyal to the game, thugs get lonely too, ghetto gospel, who do you love all posthumously released by 2pac
the cross by nas

ye all those beats r fire

he wont have that mmlp shady in his new album

remember thAt last skit from encore? slim shady takes a "final bow", showing Em retiring his alter ego.

slim shady gets killed off - shooting the audience then pistol'n himself in the mouth?

BUT that lyrical em will be back, get that depressed feel because of proofs passing. If anything this will have an eminem show feel to it

Stop callin this dude The King of Rap. He only sells so much cuz he's a whiteboy. most white kids who don't really listen to rap run out and buy his shit and 50Cent shit cuz thats the only hiphop they know. But he still 1 of the best MC's just not THE BEST.

We all know that, even Em will tell you that. He ain't the best in the game, right now he ain't even a factor because of inactivity. But I think he will HELP hip hop by dropping. Those same white boys you are talking about will become interested in hip hop again the moment he drops. They will buy his album in droves and that will get them interested in other cats that's out. Ex: If Em says "Stop fronitn/ain't nobody fuckin' with me 50 or Joe Budden," Joey goin' Platinum. Don't believe me? Check your history, Em said that he thought 50 was the hottest thing out in 2000 and look where 50 is today. He is important to hip hop because he gives those cats someone they can identify with more than they can Black artists, but at the same time, helps them understand a lil bit more. I never thought he was close to being THE best, top 5 at one point in time, but he may be THE MOST IMPORTANT.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but 50 Cent and Kanye have been trash lately and Jay-Z hasn't been Jay-Z in a while. So Em is taking rap back to the D.

@second son- maybe true, but if em (being a white boy) rapped about the hood and hustling he would go wood, so it goes both ways. White boys buy his music because they can relate to some of the content for once, and hip hop heads buy it due to his skill.

@mickey, he aint really got that much skill. he is average at best. he just like the white boy in the nba that can jump a lil bit. sence we aint used to seeing white boys that can jump, that lone one that can looks like he can get up higher than he actually can. on the other hand since hip hop is all black (our culture) brothers wit skillz dont get the recognition they deserve standin next to the lone white boy that can rhyme a lil bit. eminem is ok, just ok, but anyone thinkin this dude is the best now or the best ever are just kiddin themselves.

@second son.... lmao sayin eminem dont got much skill is like sayin he aint white... just stop talkin dude, i dont mind if u say hes not the best rappper or in the top five or even top ten, but he has been imprinted in the top 20 n thats a fact... ems skill is pretty obvious, chek out 'criminal", see how many diff flows hes got

yellow brick road was the best song on encore it was about his childhood with craqzy detail and he shows his trademark ability to switch rhyme flow while still goin to the beat

some homo trashed me, prob mad they aint gettin no ass :-X

Sorry dude, Em IS NOT the greatest freestyler of all time... lol... wow... I can name 5 off the top of my head, on a SHORT list:

1. Canibus
2. Notorious B.I.G.
3. Nas
4. Big L
5. Cassidy

^^^^^^
Did you forget Eminem absolutely destroyed Canibus? I mean ANNIHILATED him....several times....

2 charismatic dat shit is fuckin blasphemy..I fuck wit every nicca on dat list but da only 1 dat could MAAAYYBE fuck wit Em in freestylin is Canibus...Cassidy in real FREESTYLIN???what da fuck is hip hop comin 2??

Eminem didnt fuckin' destroy Canibus freestyling.
I hate when people say that shit. I'm gonna upload the battles on my page.

Em just hd a much bigger following...so naturally everybody was on his side. Same shit with the LL beef.

They're flow totally different anyways. I like both of em but everybody that knows me know that Bis is and has been my nig since like '96!

That muthafucka spits hard as shit...and I mean that literally!!!! lol.

~Be Eazy!

All Em did was throw a few shots at Cannibus. People always say he destroyed Cannibus and that guy from the Source but all he really did was throw a couple lines at them. Destruction is what Cube did to NWA, what Common did to Cube or what 50 did to Ja.

em will never be on canibus level lyrically

u right Canibus murdered LL dat shit wasnt even close an Em didnt kill Canibus FREESTYLIN...Canibus 1 of my fav rappers 2 an he 1 of da few niccas I see bein able 2 fuck wit Em on sum battle shit period BUT outta da diss songs dey made at each other Em got da best of him...end of story

While I don't agree with Eminem killing Canibus, I can say that Canibus picked THE wrong rapper to start a beef with. See every other artist that tried.

how you sayin eminem is not a good freestyler without even hearing him freestyle you should figure hes a good freestyler....hes white he has to prove himself better then a black guy would so you can figure he must be able to spit. but if you cant figure that then youtube the rap olympics where he got 2nd place. matter fact he loses two big tournaments to the same guy i forgot his name tho. eminem isnt as good freestylin now as he was cause hes famous now he prolly dont do it as much but look up his shit back ikn the day eminem was a crazy freestyler he wouldve beat cassidy now and i think cassidy the best as of now. but eminem back in the day wouldve beat cass now.

cosign that

I hope he smashes Wayne!!!!
