South will continue to run shit because....

What's fucking dumb is how mainstream hip hop categorizes music by region like it means anything. Most Mainstream rap sucks cock regardless of where its from these days, yet yall fall into the hype.

'The Refill' is better but 'The Prescription' is no push over at all.

yeah, the spotlight is on Wayne & Gucci & Luda (but only his bitch tracks) & T.I. (but only his mainstream singles) & Jeezy (but only his singles).

hopefully guys like Wale & J. Cole one day shine for their dope shit; but to succeed in this league, it's obvious what you have to do lol.

I hate most of your perspectives that mainstream rap is crap.  It's not.  It has it's place.  Most of it is good.  Why would I want to listen to any of the Slaughterhouse singles in the club?  I wouldn't.   There's nothing wrong with club music.  You're just a bunch of haters if you say there is something wrong with it.  I'm sorry buy Gucci Man makes better club hip-hop than Slaughterhouse does.  He can connect to more people than Slaughterhouse does through having fun.

Then most of you bring up this lame critique that it's pop music.  Get the fuck off your high horses.  You purists need to chock on something.   Hip-hop has moved on.  Get over it.  There's nothing wrong with having rap music that's pop influenced.

Stop limiting what is and isn't hip-hop like you're some grand teacher. 

It doesn't matter if anyone knows who Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, or Public Enemy is.  It's great if people like him but there's nothing wrong with people thinking Wayne is the best rapper alive.  Does it really hurt your feeling so much?

Most of you seem mad that the artists on the radio get shine.  Um, who cares who gets shine as long as you get the music?  Most of you probably are preachers but aren't even walking the walk by supporting the cats who aren't major.

[you gon always be my latin queen bitch]

i support everyone i say is dope
yeah i support rakim, krs one, big daddy kane, gza, rza etc...
now rakims latest album isnt dope all the way thru but its better than anythin wayne, gucci, baby etc...will ever make

[Action!]

My only point is cats like Gucci aren't trying to be like Rakim.  Hell even Wayne isn't trying to be like Rakim.  Rakim is doing Rakim while Gucci does Gucci and Wayne does Wayne.  It ain't got shit to do with what's supposedly better or not.  It's just different.  There's a place for it all. 

The only real reason the South gets hate is cause the money is going to them and not to the east or the west.  End of story.

[you gon always be my latin queen bitch]

but when wayne says hes the best rapper alive...how is that not disrespect to the real best rapper that is currently alive which isnt in no way and never will be wayne
why would a coast be mad if we arent gettin money instead of another coast?
its comedy not jealousy at hand here
its comedy that some rappers can claim a gang and call themselves the best when they arent nuthin at all special on the mic
and dont get it twisted cuz rakim hasnt done shit in over a decade but still thats possibly the best rapper alive not gucci pucci

[Action!]

It's called braggadocio.  Everyone does it to different degrees.  It's all about bigging yourself up until people believe you.  Wayne clearly did it enough.  Budden does it but he says "world wide web" poking fun at himself yet being serious.  There's not many humble rappers and it really doesn't matter.  For the most part It's part of their job to claim they're the best.

To play contrarian who cares?   Rakim isn't even in the game any more.  If Rakim wanted to be better than Wayne let him fight for the spot.  If no one is going to fight for it then let lil Wayne claim to be the best.  Besides I'm sure there are some legitimate points one can argue over whether Rakim is the best rapper alive right now or not - vocal abilities, song concepts,et.c

Personally, I float between not giving a fuck and thinking like Nas said,

 
Never put me in top ten, bitch
It's disrespect to the life that birthed the verses
a nigga writes "Who comes first?"
It's the Ice Cubes, MC Shans - them type dudes
so B.E.T's list was wrong; don't get me wrong
I did chill in the throne alone for so long

Who's the best? Pac, Nas and Big
Ain't no best - East, West, North, South
