Yur Worst Enemy 03-21-2003, 10:01 AM Some of these rappers y'all pick must be family members or something. Are you related to them? That's the only reason I could think of in picking these niggas. Talib Kweli? Did you hear his freestyle in the Bassment? Ohmygod! It was pathetic! Has anybody ever heard of CANIBUS? I mean seriously. He may not be the best overall, but be real. Canibus is the best lyricist of all time. It's like he created the english language. His freestyles are unbelievable. ( I don't care about his loss to LL. At least he gave LL the battle of his life.) Y'all need to do y'all rap homework. And stop listening to someone's singles, and listen to their underground and freestyle shit. If y'all did, Jay-Z would be in everyones list. FACT.
