Most disappointing rappers of all time

While having a top 10 discussion on facebook and one of the statements of course involved Canibus when LL was brought up. Canibus was one of the nicest dudes to every put lyric to mic however, he is one of the most disappointing because he didn't have anything close to a career. But that led me to think who are the biggest letdowns when it comes to rappers.



1. Jadakiss- a lot of people have

Top 55 of All Time? - Part 5

We're getting to the end now and this next set is going to get us all the way to the top 20:

29. Bizzy Bone - Look a lot of people haven't followed a lot of Bizzy's work when he isn't with the rest of his Thugs-n-Harmony brothers, but they should. When listening to Bone without Bizzy, there seems to be something lacking and that's because Bixxy is the heart and soul of the group. Some people

Fabolous is just getting worse

Lmao I had to make a comment because Fab has some talent but over the years I just don't even like this guy as a rapper anymore. He is trying waaaay to hard to have this smooth gangster persona and nobody is buying it. Especially when you do shit like this:



Those aren't even LED lights on that corny jacket. Yo for real, that looks like something from a damn 80's music video. You're not slick

Artists I'd rather hear freestyle...

Listening to as many artists as I have in a while has shown me one thing, just because you can rap, doesn't mean you make good music. Being a good rapper and making good songs are totally independent of one another. For example, Nelly makes good songs, but he can't rap worth a damn. Canibus could rap and 'freestyle' his ass off but as far as songs, eh, not so much. See rappers have ill metaphors,

New Singles Review

Here is something else I want to do more of, just talk about what new songs are popping up. Honestly though, I won't be providing links because I don't want to get into those issues. If you want to find it, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to.

First up today/tonight is a new song from Fat Joe featuring The Clipse and Cam'ron, "Kilo". I know how original for these guys right? Honestly, I'm not a

Album Review- Rick Ross-Teflon Don

Another year, another Rick Ross album. much like a release from Plies I know what to expect yet cannot help but feel a little disappointed after listening probably because I want to feel about Ross the same way the masses seem to feel about him. After dropping the Albert Anastasia EP about a month ago as a precursor to this 11 song (yes 11 freaking songs) LP the long awaited date is just about

Album Review- Plies- Goon Affiliated

Plies is one of those love em or hate em guys and you probably can tell where I stand on the subject. Honestly, his success has surprised the hell out of me but in today's industry, charisma counts more than actual lyrical ability or song-writing. Plies has been able to get the interest of the female section of the population by flashing money and walking around with his shirt off.


So Plies

I don't like mixtapes pt. 2

Okay, I might not have been clear in my first post about the dislike I have for the current mix tape. I understand that it is a promotional tool but a large part fo the problem is that there are too many of them which are by artists trying to make it or D-boys looking to cleanse some dirty money. Number one is that most of these so called rappers now just suck. Honestly, you have to have a story

As is Hip-Hop Awards - Biggest Disappointment

No one ever gives someone the hip-hop equivalent of a "Razzie", the award for being terrible. Until now, this is not the category you really want to be in because that means they hype didn't match the actual product. Let's start:Number 5:Jim Jones - Pray iv Reign. Now it's not that I expected much from Jimmy but he should be good for a club anthem or maybe two and some new "swagger" terms.

As Is Hip Hop Awards - Best Collaboration

This is a category that you can say was created primarily by Method Man and Mary J. Blige with "You're All I Need" which might be the greatest collaboration of all times and one that showed this format could really work. Now the majority of songs you hear on the radio are going to feature a rapper and a singer, and even now, multiple singers, one of whom is always off-key or flat (ex. Sean

B.E.T. has too many award shows...

I was looking at the site because I saw a post by Black Canseco over at his blog and I said let me see what buffoonery this "network" is promoting now. Of course for their annual "rap" awards show, there are like four nominees overall in 15 categories. Okay I am exaggerating because there are video director of the year, dj, and producer of the year categories that they couldn't find a way to

Guest Blog- Taylor Swift killed Rap music

Once again the big homey NC-17 is here to say the things you don't want anyone to know you think and to basically piss you off with something sort of like the truth.As I search best buy for Taylor Swift’s Fearless CD, I walk through the Rap aisle. Maybe I’ll buy Fab’s Loso’s Way CD… nah that 12 dollars can go towards a bottle of Ciroc. Oooo look its Maino’s CD, I like Maino… not enough to spend

The Lil' Mo Effect

Now Lil' Mo may not have had the strongest career of her own as a solo artist even though she has the pipes that many singers would die for. What she has done has co-signed some of the biggest hip-hop acts in recent memory in several ways.I just found this remake? of her hit with Ja Rule, "Cry" with LL Cool J. Maybe it's a Defjam remake thing or something. Take a listen:Who can forget the radio,

Album Review - Loso's Way

First off let me say i am terribly divided on Fabolous. He can rap. I mean dude spits some fire at times. He is a remix killer and he can pop singles like no other NY rapper, however I have been disappointed by every single album of his. In fact each successive cd makes me like the first one even more.Fab's biggest problem is that he can be too trendy and he has no depth to his "story". I mean he

Classic Material?

Now in today's climate is is very hard to determine what a hit is. It's not harder however to determine what a classic "album" is. By definition, there are more mixtapes and collections of songs than albums now, however, these all can be considered "albums" in a loose sense. There isn't very many people who can present to me the idea that there are as many classic albums now as there were in the
