I could probably never listen to a Lil B album but its not about that, it's about image (that's all he is tbh). Ever since The Based ? blew up Rappers could breathe again becuz the standard was set so low lol, even tho he did it pretty geniusly.
Everybody (bloggers and the media) were ? (too much) about Soulja Boy and Brick Squad and Lil B came thru and made some of the catchiest most horrible music ever and made every go like "? it, whatever, I give up" and put HIP HOP in retrospect for the culture.
Now it's cool to be a Pop star, now the poetry and lyriscm is back, now it's cool to be You even if you're on some different ? (OddFuture, Nicki Minaj, the rising awareness of Tech N9ne, and some other things too). Lil B ushered in the new generation of Hip Hop for the better. Now people are doing them instead of trying to be an immitation of 2pac or Nas or Project Pat (or insert cliche' rapper).
Lil B gave us (our generation) the freedom to be us and let us stand on our own without having to be co- signed by some icon from the 80's or early 90's. Even if u truthfully whole heartedly despise the guy he impacted you in some kind of way whether u know it or not. His buzz has died down obviously but nobody is going to forget Lil B anytime soon. In 5 years the youngins will still know who Lil B is even if they're not really familiar with him.
And if you've never Cooked before then you just haven't lived and you've stayed under a rock your whole life. Again, u don't like to like Lil B but he's done a lot more for this culture and our generation than people realize... amnesia runs fluent in our culture, word to Dan Rather. Where would Hip Hop be without Lil B, I don't think people really wanna know the answer to that. But I'll give u a hint, we'd still be talking about Soulja Boy and V.I.C like they're the greatest and biggest regime in Hip Hop and Hip Hop woulda never really crossed all of the way over and it woulda really woulda died.
What Lil B did, was open up a whole wide of wannabe rappers that's tryna make it through the internet... He just opened to the flood gates to a whole bunch of ? saying "I wanna be a rapper, this ? is easy.. Lil B made it and this ? wack as ? "
But for Lil B, i think that he's accomplished what he wanted to, but still does it for the people.
don't act like Lil B had some greater purpose, because all he did was get the internet, bloggers, myspace on his side and created a career out of it, and now everybody wants to do the same thing. -

If RD is such a classic why are none of its hits syndicated? you still hear how do u want it and california love and hail mary on the radio everyday. they still play if i ruled the world, they still play crossroads, they still play killing me softly you know the real ? that rocked 1996 why the ? is nothing off of RD gets radio play? I havent heard aint no ? on the radio since may 1996. RD aint no ? classic. no replay value. no classic bangers. nobody talked about this album in 96. nobody in my hood jammed this album in 96 and we jammed everything that glorious summer except this boring ? album.

Lyrics and Wordplay is not the be all end all of being a MC
Hip Hop needs rappers like Gucci, Waka Future. If everyone sounded like Nasir then Hip Hop would be boring
I cant see how anyone can like Joe Budden
and no one is saying they have to rap like nas and masta ace. but at least put some type of effort on the mic. it's like they say anything and the fans eat it up just because the beats are hot and they saying simple catchy rhymes.

And uh where is Ice T from? I know he was born on the East but his gangsta experience came from the Westcoast. He only lived in the East until he got to like the 3rd grade or something. -

What if that conscious rapper is donating turkeys too?
Cause as far as I know, it ain't that hard to donate turkeys, especially with a lot of these rappers incomes.

hell on earth>>infamous
? love to say no limit ruined hip hop but in reality, if we are to identify the main culprit of hip hop's demise its p shiddy and the shiny suit era
kanye west is an overrated producer
pharoahe monch is underapreciated and even in 1991 was way ahead of his time
for better or worse, miami bass has been way more influential on southern rap than the west

He said NWA was 1st. Ice-T was well before them. -
Ice T was something different from NWA. Dre, Cube, Eazy, and Ren had that mentality of "I'm the hardest ? in the hood. Look at all the ? and money I got."
Ice T was more realistic in the ups and downs of being a gangsta and a ? .
The gangsta style of NWA caught on more with the mainstream and influenced these new generations of rappers.

Jay Z has 2 classic albums. Black album and Blueprint 1
B.I.G is not a top 5 rapper
Not a 50cent fan but GRODT was a classic
Common is a top 5 rapper
TM 101 is a classic
I always said the bolded, but sometimes I think The Black Album is a classic
