*Update: Anyone who says Wale will be disqualified. No offense to Wale, he is one of the best rappers in the game, but he needs to stop making a sport reference every song.
So, if I take away all the sports references from Wale, which would be less than 1% of all his bars, he would instantly drop like 5 spots? I don't get it.
I'm hypothetically speaking, I haven't given my vote to anyone.
I could see Ross being like a "jay z" where he's a good lyricist but it's more than obvious that he's worried about money and nothing but. I think he'd make a song with Miley Cyrus just to get the revenue from it. I see wale as being more of a nas, where as he won't ever get the main stream appeal as a Ross but lyrically he is dominant and worries more about the art and the content of his joints.
Good recommendations from both you guys-Ross and Wale both deserve to be mentioned.
At this point though, I think Ross makes better albums and it's not even close in that department. You can have great songs all over the place but if it is in one coherent piece of art, that speaks volumes alone.
1. Ross 2/3. Wale 2/3. Big Sean 4. Curren$y
For one, plain and simple, Ross has annihilated everything in front of him for the last year and a half-Teflon Don, the Albert Anasthesia EP, and Ashes to Ashes were all great quality albums/mixtapes. He also is going the Lil Wayne route and making sure he murks every guest feature.
you can switch around 2 and 3 because while both have solid core followers, Big Sean/Wale can break into the main stream quicker. I pretty much did that for principle's sake. Yes, Wale and Big Sean are tied.
Wale's situation didn't allow him to release another solo album, so you can't really compare where he is to where Big Sean is. Funny enough, Big Sean was supposed to be on a big compilation cd and Wale I assume would have released his second official cd. However both guys did well in the opportunities at their respective hands-Wale easily was the best rapper on Self Made other than Ross, and Big Sean has on of the much better quality releases of the year in his solo debut.
Number 4 was added for principle cuz you foos always forget that it's jet life till the next life. It's all good, drop bombs on them ninjas from the middle and stay calm knowing that we belong on the top, but we aint trippin, cuz we'll get there in a minute. That's the statement for the mission. Your favorite rapper of the last five years, with the exception of Wayne, has not grinded as much as Currensy, which is why the illest producers in the game continuously lace him up.
Jay Z/Eminem/Wayne are getting the legend treatment in this, which is why we didn't mention them.
Drake-you got every right to give the guy your vote. I just kinda had to hold it against him emcee-wise because he sings. Put it this way, Drake is a better artist than any of the rippityrappers we are discussing.
The west coast is the left coast-because their rappers been left out since Pac died.

ReplyDeleteI'm hypothetically speaking, I haven't given my vote to anyone.
It is more than 1%...let's be honest. it's a joke, but he does have like three sport references per song lol.
ReplyDeleteLet's take drug references away from everyone, because everyone has like 3 references per song so that should be excluded too?
ReplyDeleteWALE!!!! WALE!!!! WALE!!!!! WALE!!!!!!! haahhhahahhhhahhahhaa
ReplyDeleteRick Ross def has a spot in the top 3, right?
