Hip Hop/Rap is so fragmented that there are a shit-ton of genres within the genre. Kanye is no doubt a talented lyricist and producer, just not my cup-a-tea. Common is definitely a great artist,
I've always liked my Hip Hop grimy

saw Common and Kanye live at Bonnaroo.
Common was good, but my buddy had just seen him in Cinci not too long bafore, and said the performances were identical... cautiously contrived.
Kanye came on stage more than 2 hours late, then only left himself time to play 4 or 5 songs before his "Glow in the dark" tour theme was ruined by the sunrise. He got booed, and people throw toilet paper at him lol. Everything about the "ego" is true, but otherwise I enjoy what he does

I can't believe you ripped out Bammer Weed. Dude, back in the day my boy bought a "grab bag" of rap from a DJ./ Record Store in Providence. You would never know what you were going to get in the "grab bag" and it usually was a mix of shitty tapes that the owners of the store wanted to get rid of. Well we pulled RBL Posse from this bag, and Bammer Weed has lived in infamy with my group of friends ever since.
It's black, breakin them buds down...My buddy did one of those a few years back and shared it with me. Can't remember his name right now... some ATL gangsta who was shot and killed around 7 years ago.
