Back to the rap game. I just heard about busta rhymes' bodyguard gettin "clapped up.". Yeah that was a while ago, the one that happened just recently was T.I.'s assistant or something. That nigga got clapped. And despite what you fucks think, Little Brother is tight, both albums are fucking dope, and sound closer to east coast than down south. Take a listen before you make any judgments.

McNally Smith College of Music Announces 'Ice Cube Scholarship' By Nolan Strong Date: 5/8/2006 8:12 am
xml
Rapper/actor Ice Cube visited the St. Paul, Minnesota campus of McNally Smith College of Music last week, to announce the "Ice Cube Scholarship."
Ice Cube, students and executives from the McNally Smith College of Music were on hand for the announcement on Thursday (May 4).
The Ice Cube Scholarship will be awarded each year to a McNally Smith student. The institution is one of the nation's leading music schools.
"The opportunity to recognize Ice Cube's influence on contemporary music with a scholarship is very exciting," said Diane Kruger, Executive VP of McNally Smith "His passion and drive set an example for the next generation of musical innovators."
The accredited college educates students about the music industry and offers degrees in Music Performance, Recording Technology and Music Business.
Ice Cube stopped by the school during a break from his Laugh Now, Cry Later, national tour to support his album of the same name.
The college also held free Hip-Hop business and technology workshops on Saturday (May 6). [/i][/color]
If that's not a sign of how far hip-hop has come, I'm not sure what it. Both Impressive and Necessary IMO.

Pun only had TWO albums, how you gonna put him past Snoop (who didn't even make the list)?
And the second album wasn't even that tight. I'd be putting Fat Joe before before Big Pun....
Anyway, my personal list of the 10 greatest rappers (individual)
10. Common 9. Scarface 8. Snoop Dogg 7. Rakim 6. Jay-Z 5. Ice Cube 4. The Notorious B.I.G. 3. KRS-One 2. 2Pac 1. Nas

Highly influential and definitely a big part of hip-hop...just not a personal fave, and his rap career died when his acting career took off.
I have MUCH respect for the Fresh Prince though.

He DID appear on the first episode of YO! MTV Raps, y'know.
Damn, that was a great show. Fab 5 Freddy was the greatest host in hip-hop history. Kinda like how Riki Rachtman was the best host in heavy metal history during his stint on Headbanger's Ball.
