Doing for white rappers, what Sarah Palin does for women VPs. Makes you wonder: why am I not the next great white hype? There are 1000 whiteman rappers better than this hack. So far from the next Eminem. I am kinda mad doggie.b,121b,121object width="425" height="344"1param name="movie" value=""1/param1param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"1/param1param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"1/param1embed src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"1/embed1/object1b,121b,121 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ehhzu7.gif" alt="" /1 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hi.gif" alt="" /1 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bucs.gif" alt="" /1

    I think this is rap for white people that can't understand black people.

    this guy gets burn? Or are Drama and Cannon simply throwing this kid at the wall and seeing if he sticks? b, 21b, 21Talk about a broke man's Eminem. Dude's going to be stuck hosting open mics with Paul Barman a less than a year from now. b, 21b, 21img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bucs.gif" alt="" /1

    I've never heard of him before, but looking at all those youtube videos is bizarre. he's hanging out with famous people and they seem to like him. He really does have a similar voice to eminem.

    xxl is putting him on the cover of the december issue along with 9 other "next to blow up" rap dudes.

    Before I saw pics of him, I thought it was an Eminem alias, like a comeback hoax or something.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121wow. Now I know why I barely pay attention to hip-hop anymore. If this is who's about to blow up then I'm not missing anything. b, 21b, 21b, 21Eminem's about to come with another album. When you completely ape another guy's style, and badly I might add, you need to make sure he's not still putting out records. That only throws your wackness into sharper relief. Plus he can come after you. I'm no Eminem fanboy, but the one dis record Em would deign to write about Roth would be greater than everything that hack will do in his career.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121That's awesome. Murs needs to be on that cover. I don't think I can name one song that any of those other dudes have done. B.O.B. is decent, but I haven't heard anything really mindblowing from him yet.b,121b,121Well, I have played that Amy Winehouse-sampling song before. Me likes it.

DJ Khalid gets more annoying every time.b,121b,121Curren$y - Nothing special throwback style to keep the hipsters hoppingb,121b,121Kid Cudi - Day and Night is ok. He's got a problem with biting Kanye's flow.b,121b,121Cory Gunz - Holy shit this guy can rap. Great voice. Clever lyrics. All sorts of flows. I'm glad I found out about this guy.b,121b,121Blu - Already a favorite of mine. Glad he's on 1/3 of 1/3 of an XXL cover.b,121b,121Mickey Factz - Boring. Couldn't get through half a song.b,121b,121Wale - Good style for party rap. Haven't heard any lyrics from him that I care about.b,121b,121B.O.B. - Talented dude. I still haven't heard a song from him that I really jam, but there's lots of potential here.b,121b,121Charles Hamilton - Electro-trash. Awful.b,121b,121Asher Roth - Tokenism. No merits of his own beyond competency.

Wale, BoB and maybe Corey Gunz could have careers. Wonder how much Khaled had to pay to get Ace Hood on there.
