Real talk Ricky Ross has been the best rapper for the past couple of yrs

[finessesosa]

Lupe is wack right now. Nas still is the best lyricist.

Ross might be the best 'rapper' .All i know is he has had the best production for the past couple of years maybe

 

[illphillip]

Rule of thumb-When someone says/types "real talk"......

Stop listening/reading.

His image (and that's all it is) works. He really is the new "black and ugly as ever" rapper. (can't bring myself to type you-know-who's name next to Ross')

The best though? Nah.

What exactly is fake about being a C.O.? still don't understand that..
If anything, he's been exposed as a LIAR..which everybody HAS BEEN in some context.especially in entertainment..

Lying and saying that he wasn't a C.O., when he was, is what I would call fake.

See the second definition and say you're sorry.

So you basically just defined almost every rapper in the game huh man!?
And what has Ross claimed TO BE that he is not? not to be technical, but that's what you did..

Cmon now dude had a job. You not gonna listen to dude cause he had a job, or cause he lied? You listen to Jay, he lost 92 bricks he had to fall back

 

[rhymestein]

..*facepalm* but all jokes aside..I understand where you coming from GJ..
I just feel if we held every rapper to that standard, there would be only a handful to listen to..
%@%!, if we held ourselves to that standard, it wouldn't uphold..admit it or not..

 

[thank me later]

Lupe is a great lyricist, but there are rappers that are better.
Jay to me is not the best rapper alive. Hes the king of Hip-Hop, but not the best rapper.

Since Lupe has been on the scene he is better than Nas
  

 

[presidenthudson]

I most definitely could go with either lupe or rick ross. Ross has absolutely no doubt had the best rap album of 09 and agreeing with the previous statement ross is only getting better. Now i know im get a lot of hate for saying it but ross is what jay should be lyrically. There hasnt been anyone that has spit it like ross ever and my even be in a class of his own. Also lupe's diamonds is hotter than any consicence track that nasir has ever spit.

[mossman75]

Lupe that best Lyricist alive?


I dont recall this man ever being dead

 

[hella handsome]

hmmm...


Lupe? Rick Ross?


2 of my favorite rappers straight up. two different types of rappers, but Ross is one of the best in the game. most people either sleep on dude or hates on him.


but Ricky got flows and he does it pretty effortlessly. have you guys ever seen him freestyle? !%#+* !%$*+$% great

 

[bluedeniro]

Alot of yalll need to quit acting like you know whats going on in the streets. 

EVERYBODY knew Ross was a cop C.O. when Hustlin came out. C.O.s arent police officers nbody cared then the only reason people cared last year because 50 made cartoons and internet surburbia thought it was cool.

Back to the topic music wise Ross has been making the best music past couple of years

  

 

[757bred]

I guess I finally needed to give Ross a listen, never heard any of his stuff besides his radio singles.  Even before his C.O. exposure, I didn't like his image/or the persona he tried to portray.  Is he really that nice to be brought up as the best for the past few years?
