Past Grammy Winners For Rap Album Of The Year...

storytelling is an integral part of lyricism in hip hop. it has been ever since 'the message'. to argue otherwise is completely irrational.

kool g rap, big daddy kane, rakim... all these dudes told stories too.

You're trying to push me on a certain opinion or "side" of an arguement. There is no argument here. I never said anything negative about story telling, all I said was I don't get into it as much as I do on other subjects. I love story telling, my favorite rap song is "Stan"; all I'm literally saying is I don't look into it as much as I do other types of tracks.

You're biased because you don't listen to Jay as much as you do Nas. I do, both of them are my top 2 rappers. And again you go talking about the Source, why? Seriously, make your own opinions, forget magazines. Just because something is published doesn't make it real or fact. I have IWW over Volume 1, and so do you. The difference? I know volume 1 has great songs on it, you don't. You think just because Volume 1 is worse that makes it shitty? Or the fact that it didn't sell? or what? Like I said, some of his best songs are on that album.

And Dynasty isn't a compilation album. It didn't take the best songs that Roc A Fella made over years, it was a regular recording session in one year with Jay, Memphis Bleek, Beanie Sigel, and others. Lost Tapes was his greatest unreleased hits. Jay wasn't even on every track on the Dynasty album



Sorry, I thought you were a fan Am I wrong?

Of course I listen to Nas more, he's better...

I'm a fan of Jay, whether you want to believe it or not. In fact I'd say Reasonable Doubt is my most played album after Sin-A-Matic by Louis Logic (check him out, especially the song "ugly truth").

And you know what I meant by the fan line. I'm not overly biased in any sense.
