King Los cites Jay Z and Andre 3000's ability to "capture everything" as reasons why he calls them the last lyrically incredible mainstream emcees.
King Los names Jay Z and Andre 3000 as the last artists to be lyrically incredible while still appealing to the masses.
“I mean Jay Z,” the Baltimore rapper says in an exclusive conversation with HipHopDX during a recording session at Hollywood’s West-One Productions studio. “We think it’s Jay Z and we think it’s Andre 3000, if you want to really be real.
“They capture everything,” Los continues. “The hood loves Andre 3000 [and] the intellects love Andre 3000. The Gil Scott-Herons, they think in his regard that he’s just awesome. The people who know actual music, the musicians love Andre 3000. The singers love Andre 3000. The poets love Andre 3000. All those same muthafu*kas love Jay Z. These ? figured it out.”
In October, King Los said that he had signed a deal with RCA Records.

Yo this dude the truth.

But that is just not true of Jay Z or Andre 3000. Andre hasn't been a full time rapper for over a decade and Jay Z is praised for his commercial success not artistic ability amongst intellectuals.
-
Hmmm bumps world's an addiction re reads post
-
At this point, I gotta assume Andre's retired
-
Nas and Eminem should slap the ? out this ?

Maybe Eminem, but since when do Nas and Common appeal to the masses? Maybe I don't know what that means. -
I would add Eminem and Common
-
Nas sells to rap fans Jay, 3k, and Em are past that. It doesn't take anything from Nas' ability yo rap.
-

He always trying to throw shade at eminem. ? this ? . And nas is way better than 3k

LOL at this nonsense. Dre doesn't need to release ? , his body of work and spare verses alone does that.
How would you know Jay isn't praised by intellects. Michael Eric Dyson, Cornell West, Bill Maher,etc would beg to differ from you and all those dudes are Ivy League school graduates.

I believe Lupe can go toe to toe with anybody ever lyrically. That includes Everybody.

People like this only fool fools. They don't ever want to give there true peers any credit so they reach on the so-called legends.

I'm Like Jury Duty Your New To This Part Of Town
Your White Tee well to me Looks Like A Nightgown
Make you Mama Proud Take That Thing To Sizes Down
Then You Look Like The Man That You Are Or What You Could Be
I Could
I Give A Damn 'bout Your Car But Then That Would Be
If It Was Considered A Classic Before The Drastic Change In Production When Cars Were Metal Instead Of Plastic Value
Is What I'm Talking About
Take Two Of These And Walk It Out

So, I typed a text to a girl I used to see
Sayin that I chose this cutie pie with whom I wanna be
And I apologize if this message gets you down
Then I CC'd every girl that I'd see see round town and
I hate to see y'all frown but I'd rather see her smiling
Wetness all around me, true, but I'm no island
Peninsula maybe, makes no sense I know, crazy
Give up all this ? cat thats in my lap no lookin back
Spaceships dont come equipped with rearview mirrors
They dip as quick as they can
The atmosphere is now ripped
Im so like a Pip, Im glad its night
So the light from the sun would not burn me on my ?
When I shoot the moon high, jump the broom
Like a premie out the ?
My partner yellin "Too soon! Dont do it! Reconsider!
Read some litera - ture on the subject
You sure? ? it
You know we got your back like chiroprac - tic
If that ? do you ?
we'll wipe her ass out as in detergent
Now hurry hurry, go on to the altar
I know you aint a ? but ? remember what I taught ya
Keep your heart 3 stacks, keep your heart
Aye, keep your heart 3 stacks, keep your heart
Man, these girls is smart, 3 stacks, these girls is smart
Play your part
Play your part"

The farewell email from a female
but I’m a player, ain't gonna tell you all the details
what it entails is hard to say like selling seashells
by the seashore, but she’s not a bore but neither a ?
who needs to know more
the kind you can’t ignore but want to open the door...for,
or run in your favourite store and leave with all them shopping bags and half of it ain't your’s,
I did things for, ain't rich ain't poor
I want it to do more but hell I just ain't know her
well enough to know if this is all she came for
but enough to know tonight excited she came four
times to my cousins house to see if I was there
get ya minds out the gutter man
we out here tryna have a good time
and here I am, all heavy with the words where
somebody that's a nerd, likely fast forward
but ? they asked for it
it’s hard to throw up them deuces cause when you know it’s juicy
you start to sound like Confucius when making up excuses
chase the Cabooses until the track gone
I gotta find me a new locomotive stop making sad songs
Only thing Stacks is missing is that album. His word play is genius. But I understand Nas is yall Rap ? so you'll disagree
