I didn't mention Wu Tang on purpose. IMHO, they do exceed the limitations of one musical style, or put in other words - they are (were) too good to be put on the same level with ... even Snoop.
Em - dunno, hard to say. I still haven't decided yet whether the kid is for real.
and despite the fact I love listening to rap, all them names as Cool J, Luda, Jah, Lil' Kim, P. Diddy, Jay-Z, etc. - they all look now like they are one performer driving around in Benz, rippin' da clubs apart, with the diamonds hanging like midgets, biatch, MOFO, MOFO, biatch, blah-blah-blah...
I guess NAS and 50 are just more talented. Dr Dre feels kinda out of his time, and Snoop lost a lot of his gift substituting it by Cribs, Bloods and the like...
I am also thinking more and more that maybe this music can't be really felt or understood unless one is a ghetto born and street raised. Correct me if I am wrong.
