i think i know what you were trying to say in that sentence...thats one of the problems in hip hop today...its too damn predictable...by saying that his topics dont really work for hip hop is basically proving that. no music should have pre-set topics...i should be able to rap about a ham sandwich if i want.

What I mean is...
1.I love my family...
2.I would never call my MOM by any name regardless..(She fucken gave me life)
3.I never lived in no trailer home...
4.I have never been bullied..
5.I'm not his skin tone..
6.I have never been fucked over for wanting to belong to a culture that does not truly accept me.
7.I'm not a multi millionaire...
8.I don't care about Em's personal termoil (Wife/kid)
9.I don't hate Teenie bopper's just because their name ryhmes...lol
10.ect...
90% of Em's topic's just do not interest me....

but you can say the same for ANY RAPPER
you never belonged to a gang...
you never shot a gun...
you never drove a bentley...
you never drank a whole bottle of crystal...
you never wore a 100,000 bucks or jewelery...
you never slanged half a kilo of coke...
you didn't have a mom who was a black panther
ect.

Corleone's got a point there. You don't have to come from the same background as the rappers you like to like them. I sure as hell can't relate to 99.9% of the shit people say on record. But I don't like who I like because they're like me - I like who I like because they are who they are.

As long as u do it wit skill u bet u can,
I agree wit u 200%, that's basicly what many close minded heads get twisted, The topic is the artist's personal choice, the rating system alpies only to his abillity to properly deliver whichever topic he chooses.
I TO DA GEEZY:
As my hiphop taste matured with time, I stoped thinkin' Pac neceserly hold's the number one spot overall, imo, Biggie is far more structurewise progressive, Pac always brought that "in yo face-no mind acrobatics" typa heat, which actually was one of his main greatnesses, alowed the most regressed dumb fucks feel his shit as much as the intelectual listeners did,huge acsessabillity, which was seemingly intended, or at least expected. Biggie's structural complexity and cinematism where visably more thought through judging by the result(regardless of how he used to record his shit), he seemed much more concentrated and his diversity was visable only when it was required thematicly, unlike Pac's everlasting-non stop diversity, yet these seemingly "no acsess for non heads" attitude his lyrical agenda pressented did not heart his acsessabillity. That's why I gard Biggie one rank higher than Pac.
As far as Slim goes, there are times I feel he has quallities of them both combined within his sick head at the same time, so with time I may come to a conclusion he should be garded higher than Biggie, yet it's hard to let go off proven greats so this decision will take some time.
The Watcher:
i think Em is above Biggie in some sense -- but there will always be that feeling that if Biggie didnt get killed, would he have become even greater? Same goes for 'Pac. Em is probably the greatest alive today, closer to the most well-rounded MC than anyone around (IMO).
