Jada and Styles were nice, Sheek was garbage.

Funny you say that, we used to joke growing up when it came to Louch's bit, get ready for the Lox hit, "in the cockpit, doing hot ish, this how crazy the Lox get" to stall his flow. Like you said, Jada/Styles flowing, then, get ready for that Lox hit They lost me with that D Block yada and only extended the stalling (say it way too much = obnoxious). Def the weakest of the three, Jada being tops.

Agree on all points.

Jada's flow is vastly underrated, he just never "made it big" because he didn't have that many pop hits. Even now when he does the occasional guest spot, his verse is always legit.

I may have posted this already, too big a thread to go back and look right now. But even if I did, it is worth a second listen.lol. I'm chill like that I'm chill like that...


There is a German rapper named Big Smoke has a song that I would love to post, but thanks to a certain naughty German girl, I can not. But if you are interested in rap from other than America, go and check him out. He looks like a boxer, and raps tough as nails. The video is called "70 Bars Exklusive". Here's some more in the mean time...

I don't know if you'd consider him a "new" rapper, but I've been pumping Jay Electronica lately. I originally could only find two songs from him (Exhibit A and Exhibit C -- both classics), but a lot of new stuff of his is on YouTube now. He produces his own beats and they're revolutionary at the level of a RZA or Kanye, but his raps are also extremely underrated (lyrically amazing and has a throwback flow). I'd recommend anyone who hasn't heard Jay Electronica just to binge him on YouTube for an hour.

Great, just when I got that Chingy track out of my head. I hear you on the ms too, definitely has its place as well (well the main place tbh) I notice on road trips I can only listen to so much UG before a couple of ms hits are needed as a good change up. Fun to just kick back and enjoy the fun aspect, etc. too and feel your point there.

Underrated rapper: T-Rock (Old 3-6 member for a cd or 2) Early 2000's, Probably bc he was their best rapper Unfortunately a trend with that group; Skinny Pimp, Playa Fly, Koopsta Knicca, T Rock, Gangsta Boo, and even Lord Infamous (RIP) after being with them from the beginning.
