Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.Dot
2 months is not a real bid…jeez!
No mention of Slick Rick?!? WTF? He should be #2 and he’s not even ‘honorably mentioned’ I expect that kind of glaring omission from a non hip-hop journalist. “You let the streets down Angela! Apologize to yo fans!”
Like Jordan said where the F is Slick Rick?
John Forte and Mysone should be on there if Tony Yayo qualifies.
and
Prodigy’s prime was long, long, before he went upstate.
what about sigel????
Turk (Cash Money/Hot Boyz)
Drama (Left Right Left dude from Atl.)
Twisted Black out of Dallas
C-Bo
Tray Dee (The EastSidaz Snoop’s group)
Chi Ali (LOL)
I’m out!
props to any nigga or bitch who survive the concrete jungle
Its sad how these rappers have the world at their feet and they fuck it up to be what they rhymes are about. Murders and killers drug dealers…come on selling drugs insnt what it used to be in the alpo days. Nicky barnes and such. Remy is in Bedford Hills C.F westchester County Harris RD across from Taconic C.F. she stays in her cell sleeping most of the time if she’s not sleeping she’s having a visit from papoose most likely or her little son. Max B has 3 centuries worth of hard time and its sad that his a** will most likely be on meds because he’s so used to doing drugs he’s gonna withdrawl. Meanwhile upcoming rappers can’t even get signed or have the same oportunities cuz they don’t have a buzz or don’t have unsolicited material. Its bullshit.
