    Yet you support known frauds. ? like you are the reason why hip hop has become a watered down powerless medium.

    lol @ "if ? sell a lot then that's a added bonus" - you dumb as ? . Record labels do not spend good money producing, engineering, mixing, promoting, and marketing albums so they can possibly be an "added bonus."

    1st off ross is from my hood the ? really sold dope on a small scale the ? was part of a drug gang called boobie boys in the 90s .. which distubuted ? in like 4 or 5 states. Even when he said he know the real noriega he want talking manuel he was talking about his son....? in the hood been knew willams roberts as we would call him was ceo .........right around the time boobie went to jail after they found him because of americas most wanted. Y rossed lied about that ? I dunno but cuzz was really in the streets


    And u telling me sales are important in music now with with the ungodly amount of boot legging? Know labels are giving artist there money and the artist has to pay them back.the music buissnes is not the same as two years ago...artist are selling less and making moremoney...some aretist don't even put out albums just str8 mixtapes and are making gwop now ask ur self y is that.......matter fact if anybodys loosing money its the labels. Today artit are smarter more buissnes savy and richer........y do u think warner brother. Just gave the the ? 8 figure distrubution deal 4 his brand maybach music.......cause his buisnes is right. That's y I say he has charistic of a mogul because of his abilty to sell his image and get rich off it....he's a mogul in the making

    And just 4 ur info ross has stepped it down lyical when 1st came out he was lyrical as ? he switched the flow and alotta u ppl r 4 getting that's eric sermon protegee

    I know your hip-hop handbook tells you that Biggie is beloved and bumped by everyone, but its simply not true. Those 2 albums y'all prop up on that pedestal are not all that, biggie as a lyricist was not all that. Its a shame how Nas and Jay still get compared to this guy even though they've accomplished things that Biggie will never see. Ross is no different. Rozay has already held his own on tracks with Jay, Nas, Rae, G Rap etc. Its not my job to make you a believer, you hating too hard to even comprehend a logical argument right now.







    P.s. I guess its time to stop using the smilies, the lames have caught on....

    aiiite fan boy i'll let u keep thinking that. there's no hip hop hand book its common sense,

    go ahead and try ask the common hip hop listener who is better.

    and im not on no stan ? but i'm being honest when i say i hear more big than i do ross where i stay at idk what goes on where u live, and its no hate for ross i'm not hating on ross what so ever because i enjoy some tracks from him

    and u talking about all this logic but think ross can hold his own with vets like jay,nas,rae, and G rap.

    lol @ this guy for real.

    Slept on post.

    Ross's delivery is some epic ? on a hot beat.

    Banks's punchlines and wordplay on a hot beat is on ? mode. Banks Workout is still monstrous like 8 years after the fact.

    Question for the t/s, what do you mean by 'rap better'?

    Banks has more technical skill...

    But, Ross has better delivery

    It all boils down to preference, because their content throughout the years are not that contrasting

    I respect ur opion. I just believe ross is better then banks.... as far as catalouge, beat selection,buisness moves etc.....I just think banks is achump and 50 humilates them dudes, what seems to be on a regular basis..... now if we were comparing ros to fabolous tthat would be a diffrent story cuzz fab is everything banks is not...bank is good but not good as .............ross.....I always thought banks was a lil overarted and I think his 1st album is overated but that's just me...I also think he's a fab clone

    Finally listened to 'Officer Down' since everybody keeps referring to it. It could just be me but that ? was garbage, i actually expected more from Banks.

    This was a way better diss and done in half the time.

But ross got more hits consistently since like 06.... numbers don't lie

    i listened to it i'm telling u, i don't go and comment on some ? if i haven't gave it a fair listen.

    ross don't really hold his own though, dude constantly needs a feature.
