LIST: The State of Hip Hop Lies in these Artists........

• 1

  Chamillionaire Haters R Us for this artist. the media destroyed him with ODing on Ridn Dirty and tabbed him as some one hit wonder which sadly enough made Chamillionaire work even harder for his next album, Ultimate Victory, which didnt sell well in US but went platinum Globally. That being said Ultimate Victory in my opinion was way better than 50 cents album last year and Kanye West. The whole album is insane barring a couple songs. My favorites are Morning News, Evening News, Me BReakn Up and Wont Let you Down. Why I rate him at Number 1 is the fact that his lyrics have meaning, the beat to his songs are uplifting, he sings which is brave for any rapper, you wont be disappointed when he comes out with new stuff (his mixtapes are insane), and the fact that more people hate on him than people hate on Bush..well actually not that much but its a hyperbole..To those who hate on him so be it, I cant change your mind, but those with an open mind check out these videos Im going to post. He will be coming out with Mixtape Messiah 4 August 27th which will be first Mixtape he is putting on sale, the previous 3 are on chamillionaire.com available to download for freeeeeeeee!!!

  Lupe Fiasco Check out the Album the Cool...He fits all my criterion..Great Lyrics, great beat, consistent but he doesnt have that many haters....Little Weapon lyrically is a piece of art regarding children soldiers in Africa, and Paris Tokyo is a great song for any boyfriend/girlfriend. A song from previous album American Terrorist is lyrically insane. As a fan of hip hop listen to his music period.

  Nas His lyrics are insane, At times his beats are boring but with his new album that just came out it validates why he is number 1 to many hip hop fans...Sly Fox and America are pretty cool songs on his new album, Nas, For me hes a 3 cuz I cant listen to rappers just rapping without beat, its why many dislike rap.hiphop because "music invloving a person is one that sings and not talks" ( which is rap/at times hip hop) but with that being said dude is one of the smartest rappers out. He just told Jesse Jackson Your time is Up...Thats hilairous I dont care who you are...Keep it up Nas, I know to many your Number 1 n i respect that but for me I got you at 3....He is in the later stage of his career but he hasnt slowed down which Jay Z honestly has..Keep it coming Nas!!

  Lil Wayne ... His lyrics are all over the place and at times the voice altering effects is what does it for me to not listen to him. He has punchlines here and there and dude comes out with more songs in a week than Wesley Snipes, Jason Stathanm and Jean Van Claudde Dam come out in a week. Yea itts great for fans to get new songs on a constant basis but then again what are you really getting.. T pain style orchestrated eccentric spitting from Lil Wayne with no purpose. That being said I give him kudos for his hard work and the fact that he has haters. He has good beats and here and their good lyrics. he has Swag and dude needs to stop getting into trouble, what type of role model are you mR. wayne.. Lets just say you also owe the media a big high five for the gr8 marketing job they did for your mediocre album the Carter III. .Lyrically is why he is at 4 because I feel like an idiot listening to him. Cash Money Millionaires were amazing by the way....500 Degreez and Juve, Mannie Fresh, BG, Baby were the ish back in the day...Back that A** Up, Block is HOt, #1 Stunna!!

• 5	Andre 3000 I love outkast--favorite hip hop group of all time (Southerplayalisticadi ilackFunkymusick gr8 summer song) and andre 3000 is a lyrical genius...why he is at 5 is that he doesnt come out with new stuff. Hes the most versatile artist in my opinion.

• 6	Ludacris Too lazy to write alot...Hes just an awesome artist...I dont think hes past his prime...Dudes probably maxn relaxn like Eminem waiting for the right time to drop another album...

  Kanye Lots of people requested him....As much I dislike his persona and his feeling that we all owe him something. Last time i checked you owe God a big thank you or youd be dead....But that being said what people said below validates why your here. Lots of people hate you as well hahaha and you do have good lyrics but compared to Chamillionaire and Lupe your beats are peon to those Kings of Hip Hop....my opinion.

  The Game Happy he left G unit as well as Young Buck but that being said he needs to bring back what NWA and Public Enemy left back in the day...BUt lets be serious times changed since 90's where rappers were more incorporated into making political motivated songs which I believe is one gr8 thing of music. Bashing the gov't for the corrupted crap they do.. Personally I dont know if Game ever gets political but I know almost all above have political songs. Check out Dope Boys, Who Run It....a couple new Game Songs....

  T.I. Always liked him but when it comes to lyrics he fails compared to everyone else above...Hes got beats , hes got consistency with hits and the beef part all I know is Shawty Lo but who cares about that one hit wonder.. With his new album coming out soon and a Good Song that just came out Whatever You Like which is definetly like Lollipop from Lil Wayne. Its more pop song than a hip hop song but it definetly would get lots of air play soon.

• 10	"The Underappreciated" The Roots, Common, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, and Juelz Santana...my ignorance is among all theese except Santana, he fits into all my criterion but hasnt been out with anything in a while...A song i like from Roots newest album, "Get Busy"
