    This one was better than 09’s.
    But wasn’t 50 Ross beef in early 2009? Skillz a year too late.
    And that was the only standout in the whole song, He should pass it on to someone who’s sharp with the bars.

    NOW tell YN to do the 2010 best hip hop album list… a category where the J.cole fans can stfu

    @fukwaka

    “Your Favorite and the Most Hated” will really apply to the best album list. We all know that Ross, Kanye and Em will be top 3. As long as Em aint #1, I’ll be cool with either Ross or Ye at 1, though Ye deserves the top spot. Drake at 4, Big Boi at 5. The rest, who knows? Roots, B.o.B, Lloyd Banks, Nicki, Bun B.

    Nas and Damian Marley should obviously be in there but since it’s “the most diappointing album of ’10” it probably won’t. Cudi should also be included but he’s probably too alternative for RR to include.

    Btw, how come Wu Massacre wasn’t on the most disappointing albums list??? There was WAAY more hype about that than Redman, Ice Cube, etc. and that album definitely didn’t live up to the hype. That shit should have been #1 and Nas and Damian shouldn’t have been listed since it’s actually a really good album, but with limited commercial appeal.

    This dude been rapping since 1993. All he got out of it is this Rap Up series and being Missy’s HypeMan. I know he writes for people, but still.. SMH

  14. Dashing says:

    ^better than 90% of aspiring MCs. He’s made a career out of it. 95% of the muthafuckas in the NBA ain’t all stars so why hate on them for not dropping 20 points a game. They still better than yo ass…

  15. GTFO says:

    Suck a soft one @Dashing. You probably just started knowing who Skillz was. Its not hate its a true statement. I got his albums from back then, I’ve been to his shows. Bet you defending a guy that you never supported, stop trying to be a hero. So if what you say is true, then Meph Bleek must be your hero too. Since you’re so sensitive why don’t you adopt an MC bitch. Not everyone that comments is a rapper. Smarten up.

  16. GTFO says:

    Oh yeah @Dashing. Since you know so much, how did he make a career out of rap when he was a parking lot attendant for more than a few years in VA. So STFU and speak what you know.

  17. Dashing says:

    ^ I been knew Skillz since he was fuckin with Timbo, but that’s neither here nor there. He’s a dope MC and has been for years as I’m sure you know since you’ve been following him for maybe longer than I have. All I’m saying is why take shots at the dude? Everyone plays their role and not everyone’s going multiplatinum and selling out stadiums…Should we take shots at Rakim cause he’s got a day jobtoo? Or Kool G Rap? Or AZ? What’s the point?
