Listening to a lot of People Under The Stairs lately.

Kanye - Needs to stop riding his own nuts so hard, seriously, Lupe pissed on you when he made Conflict Diamonds and Mohammad Walks.

Eminem - Back in Infinite and Slim Shady LP, I loved this guy. With the direction he's taking his music nowadays, no dice.

Jay-Z - Honestly, I've always thought this guy was hella overrated. Using up to 3 or 4 minutes of word for word Biggie lyrics and passing it off as a tribute is BS, nothing anyone can say will ever change my opinion on that matter. I mean jeez, 3 or 4 minutes worth of Biggie lyrics as tribute? At that point, it's either a) biting his rhymes and using a cheap cop-out card, or b) practically borderline dickriding.

This is not to say that Jay-Z doesn't have talent on his own, but christ, it just seems like he half-assed some random verses and got lazy.
