Yeah, I see where you and Cooh are coming and I fully respect your's and his opinions but you got to admit.. These 5 rapper's I've mention in my post are the closest that have ever been to the legendary era. ^_^

No offense, but I honestly wouldn't put any of the rappers you mentioned close to the legendary 90's era. I mean just listen to Prodigy from 1992-1996, that guy is one of the best lyricists ever to pick up a mic. All those you mentioned don't even come close to him in his prime imo.

Heh, it's just my opinion tho. I don't blame anyone if he has a different artistic view. :)

Yeah, I have no problem with your opinion either. Everyone is entitled to have their own opinions and beliefs.

you should listen to Joey bada$$, he's the closest to that "legendary era" style when it comes to modern rappers. Kendrick is good but he isn't as good as most people make him. J cole is a great story teller and has a nice flow but he seriously lacks in story telling, rhyme schemes, and structure. I'd still place him and Kendrick somewhere in the top 5 of modern rappers.

You said you can't get back into the old rap with rappers such as nas? I suggest you listen to some of his unreleased songs then because those songs are arguably better than the material that have been put on his albums.

This is simply art at it's finest

not an unreleased track but this song is underrated


This is one of the best rap songs I've ever heard and the last verse is one of the best verse in hip hop period in my opinion

Okay, okay. ;) Nas is still the bomb haha. That 'Second Coming' song is so good. -.- Had it on for like 2 or 3 times haha. Thanks, never seen that one.

I agree, Illmatic is his best work but from an overall career standpoint it makes me wonder why some of these tracks didn't make it onto the albums.

He probably had too many good tacks, I'd rather wonder why Nas could never come close to Illmatic ever again. I mean he's still a dope MC but he never has been as dope as on Illamtic.

denzel curry for me, even though I'm more into East coast stuff, Denzel Curry is the truth. Waiting on planet shrooms to drop. Curry has flow like outkast and a dope vibe.

Nas said everything that had to be said with Illmatic. I don't think we even need another one, looking at it for what it is, is more than enough. :)

Jedi Mind Tricks / Vinnie Paz is what I like atm. :)


just overall good, though sometimes their lyrics are a bit illuminati-crazy

Ok, as long as Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole was on this.

J. Cole's new album is actually pretty good too.
