I see it didn't take you long, lol.

The only ones I strongly disagree with are GZA and Outkast. I believe Dre still has it in him. Bone thugs lost me a while ago.

2 that come to my mind are:

KRS-One-I really do think he needs to just give it a rest.
Spice 1-Been done for a while, but still one of my favorite gangsta rappers of all time.

Spice 1 has definitely been treading water for over 10 years now. His CDs are good on occasion, but he has worn himself way thin.

Well, I actually haven't heard any of him albums after the Black Bossalini album, but other than that, I was mainly cosigning with you on the "worn himself too thin" comment, based on most of the recent material I've heard.

Ah, I thought maybe you'd heard some of them and could tell me if you rec any of them.

Have you heard an album he did with MC Eiht?

Yeah, I have the first one - Pioneers - pretty good CD for what it is.

They did other albums together? Now that I honestly didn't know.

They have a second CD called "Keep It Gangsta" which I have not heard.

Ok. Which Spice 1 album do you think is his best?

Pioneers is dope. Oh, and, Spice 1 is the best gangsta rapper ever.

Out of those two? or overall?

Overall, and I'm just referring to his solo albums.

187

I agree with the whole list. Some may surprise us but for the most part they are correct. The mainstream audience reallly are not looking foward to any of them nor do most of them care. Its all about the moment and once you are out the moment they thnk you are dead or something...lol.

I like that album too, but I think my pick would be Amerikkka's Nightmare.

Do you think the mainstream audience are not checking for another Outkast album?

Not as much as they were 5-6 yrs ago. The listening audience has really changed since then. Plus Andre is sooo selfish with his rapping...what a fucking waste.

I say Amerikka's Nightmare or 187 - but I am partial to 1990 Sick and Black Bossalini too - both are slept on.

The listening audience has changed, I totally cosign with that.

I haven't bumped AN or 187 in quite some time.

That list is 100% correct

The mainstream ain't checking for nobody. But fo'real GZA needs to come out with another banger

Hopefully that banger will be Liquid Swords 2.

ditto

However I will say Dre is pretty much done as a front man, but he still will remain a presence if he chooses to. GZA been dud free since Words. I think he has the audience he going to get. New blood will still check for Kast though. I liked Big Boi's album. If 3 Stax follows with a banger then they're in the clear.

Good points here, especially about Kast and GZA.

If Liquid Swords 2 drops this year or if it doesn't folks will still check for GZA...Kast and once Detox is released in 2016, Dre.

Yeah that list is 100% correct


the listening audience is looking for brand new Kid Cudi...Drake....Eminem(which they got this year)...Jay-Z (which they'll get soon).....Weezy....Jeezy...GaGa....Nicki Minaj.......Kanye (which is on the way) and a few others...

the ones on that list are now niche acts.....they have their own niche, their own audience but aren't heavy hitters anymore....like the ones listed above!
