There should be hiphop laws that say I or anyone else can smack someone when they say something so egregious about their "opinion", it makes you really wonder if that person ever listen to a hip-hop record before.

Ex: "listen to one of immortals songs and he'll have you feeling something that nas couldn't send out in half his songs." (and yeah, I did hear someone say that shit.)

I should be able to DDT that dude on sight. Hip-Hop law demands it.

Chuck D and Black Thought will go down as THE two most underappreciated emcees in hip-hop ever.

Notice: I said "underappreciated"....not "underrated". People know their skills, it's just they haven't gotten their due as solo artists.

Chuck D gets overlooked by his association with Flav and all the stupid shit he's done over the years. Imagine if "Fight the Power" came out last month instead of 1989? He'd be a fucking superhero to Hip-Hop now.

Black Thought should - at some point - put out a solo album. Not that The Roots are holding him back, but he should showcase his talents on at least one venture separate from them.

He suppose to have a mixtape coming out sometime this year.

Jay-Z is the greatest rapper of all time. Not the most influential, lyrical, groundbreaking, but he's everything you would want in a rap career and he changed the whole idea that rap is a young man's sport that used to prevail

in hip hop.

The Hip Hop music we enjoy today is actively being used as a propaganda campaign to fuel the prison industrial complex and keep contracts to fill prison cells going with each state that has a private prison.

Mase is easily one of the top 10 most influential rappers of all time. The Mase style and blueprint inspired countless MCs from Kanye, Fab, Drake, the list goes on and on.

Diplomats was a legitimate movement and had the 2nd greatest run of any East Coast group, only behind the Wu Tang Clan.

Prodigy is one of the few mainstream rappers that you cannot directly trace a "father or innovator to his style". Completely original in wordplay and delivery. Nas' style descended from Kool G and Rakim, Jay-Z came from Jaz-O, Biggie has a lot of style elements from Kane.

Notorious BIG wouldn't have been halfway as successful impact-wise if it wasn't for the production genius of Puffy and the Hitmen. I look at BIG's success as a reflection of how great Puffy was in crafting albums.

Young Jeezy improved lyrically with each album release.

The music industry will never allow a solo artist like DMX or group like Public Enemy to ever come out on a mainstream level. DMX was hyper-masculine and they want to promote confusion in men and PE was too revolutionary, obviously.

Hell on Earth album is Prodigy's best display of lyricism. (I get constant arguments about The Infamous)

Very unpopular opinion in HipHop:

Canibus beat LL in a battle. ( IMO I thought Canibus won)

Eminem is the greatest rapper of all time (Nigga Please)

Hmm.............I actually think this is a popular opinion in general. Maybe not the IC but definitely outside of it.

I agree with you on canibus.

I disagree with this about Chuck D. Chuck D gets a lot of credit for what Public Enemy. The problem is Public Enemy was relatively short lived as a group and Chuck D hasn't done much since their heyday. There is only so much appreciation you can show for someone who didn't even provide a decade's worth of music.

Public enemy has like 14 albums, and hasn't gone more than 5 years without dropping one since they came out. what are you talking about?

Well if that's true, they have certainly gone under the radar and how much appreciation can you give an artist for making music that isn't heard? I'm not saying that's his fault, but it is what it is.
