I love how his shows feel like being at a rock show. They have a completely different atmosphere than going to see someone like Jeezy perform. Call me a pussy, but the few times I went to see gangsta rappers in person I wasn't comfortable.
Maybe if I lived in less "urban" community I would feel differently.

this is a tough list for me. if i had to just go off of raw talent and not really rank anyone because all these guys are in a league of their own (even if a couple haven't put out any decent albums in years):

I beleive rap doesn't take much intellect which is why you can be a crack baby and get away with being a famous rapper, the music rappers make is basically a regurgitation of the man before them by rewording popular gangster phrases.

I can appreciate some rap and the genre as an art form but I get tired of it pretty quickly. It just really irritates me when little urban white kids try to imitate what they listen to. I like some Wu tang and the early gangsta shit tho.

Me too, I can only tolerate it in small doses, I don't own any rap/hip hop though.
