Check these.. (in order from which you should check first)

1. Last Dayz
2. Agent Orange
3. Simon says
4. Simon says remix feat. Method Man, Redman, Busta Rhymes etc.
5. Fuck you
6. No Mercy feat. M.O.P. (Alchemist)
7. Dub Plate
8. Yall know the name
9. I shot the mayor
10. Murda 1 case ft. DJ Quik

etc. just the ones that came to mind..
And btw, the verse on "Oh no" was FAR from his best, even if he outshined Mos Def with ease, he's better on almost any song he puts out..

His album is absolutely incredible, one song I hated (The Next Shit) but every other song on the CD is at least a 4.5/5 IMO.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

yeah, Pharoahe got some seriously dope verses - check out Organised Konfusion - Stray Bullet - one of my favourite Pharoahe verses. I just read somewhere that The Inc & Shady Records are fighting for his signature...i know which i would prefer!

His verse on Nate Dogg's "I pledge allegiance" is fucking sick. I also love him in "Murda 1 case" by Quik. His whole albums is sick, but when he spits over westcoast style beats on this kinda collabos...oooh wee!!

lol, couldn't have put that better...

Anyway, I'd actually like to see Pharoahe on Shady Records. I dunno how he would sound over Em's beats (doesn't sound like a great combo to me, but I guess we will have to wait and see if it ever happens), but I do know that I'd be very interested in hearing a Pharoahe/Obie collaboration. Don't ask me why, I'm a bigger Em fan than Obie fan, but for some strange reason I get the notion that Pharoahe and Obie would really compliment each other on the mic.

Just think what the Shady roster could have been/could be:

Em
D12
Obie
50 Cent
Stat Quo
DJ Green Lantern
Pharoahe
Royce (why oh why did Em stop fucking with him even BEFORE the beef ??? )
Xzibit (wasn't he in talks to get down with them a while ago?)

I'm sure there was another big name (or well known) rapper in talks to get down wth Shady, but my mind has gone blank. Anyone notice anybody else on the list of possible signings that I've missed?

One thing I don't understand though - why does Em share his top signings with Dre? It was Em who ''discovered'' 50 Cent, even Dre admits this in interviews, yet he is a Shady/Aftermath artist. Same with Stat Quo, who refers to Em as his C.E.O yet he too is Shady/Aftermath. I wonder if Dre has a say in who is purely Shady and who is co-aligned with Aftermath? I mean, its not like Dre is 'sharing' The Game & Busta with Shady Records...confusing...

Shady Records is part of Aftermath, so anyone (ex: 50 Cent) signed to Shady is automatically falling under Aftermath as well. However, if someone (ex: Busta) is signed to Aftermath, he isn't necessarily signed to Shady.

Live-N-Die-N-LA, that makes sense - but D12 and Obie are purely Shady artists. Then again, they were the first signed to Shady so maybe he decided later to put out all Shady artists from then on with Aftermath. Eh, I dunno...
