Hip-Hop Heads

[TheMightyQuinn]

He was though he lacked the looks of 2pac. Biggie on form was brilliant but he soon dropped hip hop for pissy Puff Daddy kind of tunes which was a shame really.

agreed, old school biggie was awesome to hear

He was. Although he wasn't a patch on Nas circa Illmatic! Now there is an album!

Got to admit that whilst I love Illmatic his other stuff has never really grabbed me, the odd song here and there but not much. Undoubted talent though!

illmatic is the shit!
nas is playing here in a couple of months. i wish i got to see him at the apollo, i was there in 07, 'live at the apollo was being filmed' as they do for the sat night show. And it was a new"talent" who will be big, heard this shocking song with shocking dance moves, ruined the moment i had while paying my respects to the godfather of soul............................................fcuking soulja boy came out (not that i knew who he was then) and sand that 'crank that soulja' i'm feeling sick thinking about it again!! now onto a song thats just playing on my ipod
