    'Step in the Arena,' is my 'favorite,' GangStarr. At the same time, and I think what really bothers me about Guru, is that he always sounds so passive. His 'passionate,' verse is other people's warmup. Now, while this is most DEFINITELY one man's opinion, and others are free to disagree, this is what ends Gangstarr for me. Too conversational...too uninspired to match the beats.

    Funny. what he's being penalized for is waht 50 Cent made into a career. The content & cadences is different though.

    To be fair to Guru...50 could afford better guests to carry his songs. Good point, though. I'd put FITTY on my list. Someone at work asked about his first song recently, and I brought up, 'Wanksta.' It then occured to me I couldn't remember a single lyric in the song NOT written in the musical, 'Hair.'

    Please explain who Gangstarr would have gotten, but couldn't afford. I can't imagine who they would have asked to get as a guest who was like "naw, you ain't got enough dough." I'm guessing that people would have jumped on the album for free, out of respect or in trade for a priemo beat or guru verse. I'm talking about in their prime, not necessarily today.

    And who has 50 gotten as a better guest? And based on his ability to shell out doe?

    I'm confused.

    Well the first two albums didnt have any collabos and Primo wasnt revered like that. But in their prime they put on mad dudes.

    What? Geez got swag. You obviously have none.

    swagger = the last bastion of wack rappeurs.

    not saying Jeezy is whack, but yours is not a strong argument in his favor.

    don't you have a thread to start about how much you dislike some minority group?

    If you don't like Guru, then maybe rap music is not really your thing.


  • .SHAQ ....
    cosign on Michael Franti
    and Guru was/is the worst thing 'bout Gangstar

    Diamond D and Erick Sermon as Re: Official SS: 25 worst rappers of all-time??? no, no, no.

    Shaq, Fred Durst, Bubba Sparxxx, Chali 2na -possibly the biggest hoax ever in rap, G. Love, Fergie, Kevin Federline!!!!, Krumbsnatcha....!!!

    Can't we all just dig deeper than simply outing Guru as monotone?

    hey if if makes you feel better for riding for the likes of Fabolous and Jim Jones, then swagger away my friend. or watch other men swagger, as the case may be.

    Bubba Sparxxx

    I don't like dude's songs, but he can rap. I'm pretty sure the people citing him in this thread have never really heard him, but happen to know that he's white.

    well, in fairness, I'd say the fact that this thread features mentions of the likes of az and phife pretty much proves that most of us at least listen to rapp (or used to anyway). still, in attempts to slay sacred rapp cows, some of the poasters have been over-zealous.

    my phife mention was meant to provoke a little. for the record, he does suck. but he wouldn't be near the top ten worst. not even top 25. 100 maybe.

    Wow...Brother Ali as one of the worst rappers ever?

    Surely ye jest. Hardly any of these rappers in this thread should even be close to the worst 25.

    I saw Brother Ali slay on stage. More energy than most emcees i've ever seen.

    This shit gets tired. Everytime a worst rapper thread comes up the same list of people like guru are dragged out to be hatted on. The fact that Perce P an AZ are mentioned and yet cats will ride for nelly is just plain embarrassing.

    the fuck outta here. now this is getting ridiculous.

  • Richard Blackwood - Will Smiff on a UK budget steeze

    I heard Jaeke Shears (el spacko on here) is producing his album???

    I was, but then he said it was a fictional album, and so a fictional beatmaker would be better, so i pointed him in your direction.

    oooh you've still got it ya bastard

    No one agrees about Silkk??


    stressdollaz actually had the right answer. i think he thought silkk was puerto rican.

  • The Chicago's Legendary Sharkula:



    Though part of me wants to believe he's some sort of genius, in general I think its pretty disorienting.

    Also there was also this guy in Washington Square Park one time who made me beat box for him, he was pretty bad too.
