Neither verse is that great.

Rugged Man has a better word choice and some great assonance, which adds to his better flow.

Detox will be some kind of Dre's version of Recovery, a.k.a. epic fail, and i think, that's a bad way to end your carrier, so maybe, in a couple of years, will have another, "normal" Dre album.

And, that Planets shit? Shit.

"God's Son" is my favourite, "Illmatic" is not.

I think that 50 Cent is shit and GRODT is not anywhere near a classic

I think Food and Liquor is one of the greatest albums of all time

I think MBDTF is extremly over rated and not a classic.

I think Eminem is the greatest rapper ever

I think Jay Z is over rated in general and his debut album is the only album that should be considered any where near a classic.

I think that Recovery is fantastic

Underground rappers like DZK and Diabolic Suck

Royce da 59 is the best at freestyleing

Royce had the better verse over Em on Scary Movies, Echo and Living Proof

Won't Back Down is dope!!!

Nas coulda been the greatest rapper in history but fucked it all up by releasing too much shit material. Only Illmatic, God's Son and Stillmatic are good. And Stillmatic has a few skippable songs.

Many UK artists such as Wiley and Skepta are technically much better than any American artists, example - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKzc385G5wU

Kid Cudi's second album Man On The Moon II was a huge disappointment.

Joe Budden is better than 95% of rappers in history

Nicki Minaj is better than Lil Kim

I've yet to hear anything by J Cole that has made me think he's dope

Dre's 2001 > The Chronic

Tupac never released a classic album. All Eyez on Me and The Don Killuminati were very good, but not classics.

50 Cent has one good major-release album - GRODT. All the others were lame, and BISD is his 2nd best

Boi1da is probably the most over-rated, lucky producer of all time.

Eminem HAS gone soft, for whatever reason you can argue, he is so concerned at possibly being on bad terms with anyone these days that he literally thinks everyone is "dope". Fuck I wouldnt even be surprised to see him do a collab with Rebecca Black these days. He lost some confidence after the bad reception of Relapse too.

LL Cool J is a little overrated.

Drake is a fucking SHIT rapper, end of.

Snoop Dogg is a joke these days. He was cool as fuck when he first came along with Doggystyle, now he may as well dress up in a clown outfit he is taken that seriously.

Kanye West is a dope lyricist.

Maybe its because you're Canadian haha? It all comes down to opinion, and I fucking love K'naan and k-os.
k-os:
The Love Song, 4321, Zambony, I Wish I Knew Natalie portman, Crabbuckit, Emcee Murda

K'naan:
Stabbed By Satan, Rap Gets Jealous (both), In the Beginning, My Old Home, Somalia

All great songs. The thing I love about both of them is that they're so unique compared to any American mainstream hip-hop artist.

I fucking love SUm 41 and Avril Lavigne (nohomo) too. Keep up the good work Canada

I am not really good at writing long arguments to prove my point but really? First of all you can't deny that Lupe is a better writer. Lupe has 1 undeniable classic and 1 arguable classic while K-os has nothing close. Theres a point where it becomes more then about taste and is a fact and the fact is Lupe is better.

Joyful Rebellion's a classic. :unsure:

And how could you factually say X rapper is better than X rapper, they both have different styles. Not to mention that was a bit of a tongue in cheek post as response to you claiming that his Knaan and K-os claim was cringeworthy.

k-os and Lupe are both amazing. I'm not hating on either, and don't feel the need to personally determine which one is "better." Sometimes I feel like listening to Lupe and sometime I would rather listen to k-os. They are both good writers for their individual styles.
