2 Brand New G.I. JOE: RETALIATION Clips: "Cliffside Battle" & "Jay-Z"

Kendrick Lamar is stupid overrated.

below the heaven by blu an exile
by is better then lamar ................... not close either

Jay-Z >>>> Nas. The only reason they're even compared is because they were beefing. Nas is good, but overrated. The only reason a lot of people say that he is better is because Jay-Z is more popular and Nas is more obscure. When asked to choose sides in something like this, people often choose the more obscure choice because it make them SEEM more intelligent. i.e. If you asked 100 People which tastes better between McDonald's and Sonic or some other small regional chain and a lot of people would pick Sonic, etc even though Mc donalds is a much bigger chain for a reason. Likewise, Jay-Z is a much more successful artist than Nas for a reason. People HAVE to pick sides, though. Not to take away from Nas, at all. HE does have a lot of true fans and it is well deserved. However, if as Many people really thought Nas was as good a rapper that alot claim him to be, then he would be a much richer MC. Like they say "Men lie, Women Lie. Numbers don't lie..."

Good Rap




Crap Rap

Kendrick Lamar

Lesson Complete

I'm not a big fan of rap. I honestly like maybe 2 rappers in general. The Wu Tang clan is awesome but a lot of you are forgetting about one of the best rap artists of this generation... MOS DEF!!



BTW that quote by The Rock SUCKED!!!

wow, those are some cheesy lines there..

@MOONDOGGYX Jay Z was a good artist, but then he became a mega producer instead and his rhymes became weak. One thing Nas will always have over him is social conscious rap. Essentially that's why nas isn't as mainstream as Jay Z. Musically this generation is stupid as shit, i mean there are tons of meme's out there displaying lyrics from 70, 80, and 90's all of which had often been written by one artist and one producer. Que to today and we have artist like Beyonce and Bieber singing about just absolute bs, and it takes 4 producers and 8 writers for them to make a hit. Also a difference between genres of music, but that's whole different debate.

On Kendrick tho, he's a mad talented lyricist, but nothing has shown of it on his last album, his content is shallow and repeated, and his hooks are flaky. His first album "section. 80" was tight, and dealt with personal, social and political issues. His second album lost all that to the way of girls, money and pimping. Unfortunately losing much of his street cred. with the underground scene and also being compared to the likes of Drake, which is just awful and overall a shitty deal.

Rap is a evolving form of music, and that's fine as new beats are much composed with synthesizer sounds and digital instruments (pro tooling the f out of everything). Yet with these changes the content of hip hop has also changed for the worse too, essentially the 90's and early 2000's were the height of good hip hop, call it bias or not, it was a time were socially conscious lyrics mattered, and matter even more so today. Yet when you some of hip hops "elite" producing garbage like beyonce or beiber, and then melding the genre's, well that's where you start losing the essence of hip hop's poetic justice.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE & IT'S JUST 3 WEEKS AWAY, & IF YOU WANNA HEAR SOME GREAT NEW RAP INSTEAD OF ALL THIS MAINSTREAM NONSENSE, CHECKOUT IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE, BEAST 1333, K-RINO, TRUTH UNIVERSAL, T-KASH, KILLER MIKE, BROTHER ALI, CHILDISH GAMBINO, KILLAH PRIEST, PLANET ASIA, ILL BILL, VINNIE PAZ, PARIS, SABAC RED, CHIEF KAMACHI,& JOEL ORTIZ.
