Agony Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Ok, let me add to what I was saying earlier Nas>>>>>French Montana Nas' verse on Triple Beam Dreams>>>>>>Any verse that I've heard recently from French Montana Now all of this doesn't change the fact that more people in general are checking for French's next song more the Nas' next song. e.g. If I play 'Nasty' and 'Ghetto Dreams' to some of my boys they'll reply "is that new?". If I play 'Shot Caller' to them they'll say "Yeah I've got/heard that song. Have you heard (insert more recent French song/verse)?" Me saying French is the 'one of the best out in 2012' isn't just based on my opinion. It doesn't mean he's my best rapper in 2012 because although I rate French there's a few rappers I'm rating more than him at the moment. But whether you like it or not he is one of the best at the moment and you're more likely to hear a new French song playing out of a car/club/ speaker than a new Nas song.

Martin King Louie Jr Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 This is why I dislike HH fans. f*ck*ng neeky. So u man aren't hh fans? I am but I don't like the type of fans that are described in this article... Yesterday one of my colleagues here at XXL suggested that I think backpack rap is boring because backpack rappers tend to complain a lot. In actuality,I don’t have a problem with backpack rap. The subgenre—like any other in hip-hop—contains a wide spectrum of material, from the hot, to the fairly decent, to the wackest garbage conceivable. I can’t stand flat-toned rappers spitting impossibly abstract rhymes over dark, predictable basement beats, for instance. But I’m certainly not mad at records with cutting-edge concepts, innovative soundscapes, and thought-provoking lyrics. My problem is not with backpack rappers. My problem is with hardcore backpack rap fans. Those dudes kill me. They have to be the most self-righteous Stans under the sun. Let me run down the profile. You can find these hotheads in the record store copping a holier-than-thou attitude, spitting obscure hip-hop trivia with an almost religious fervor. They are the ones you see in the back of the club, glaring when the DJ drops a 50 joint. These knuckle-shufflers harbor an obscene amount of nostalgia for a golden era that they were never a part of, and a baffling level of resentment for all that is gangsta and/or flashy and fly. They despise the music industry, without ever having had any contact with it. They romanticize poverty, worship political rappers (who, truth be told, often don’t want these guys as fans in the first place), and demonize any artist that doesn’t fit into their rigid definition of “real hip-hop.” They deliberately ignore anything that calls their limited conception of “real hip-hop” into question. (The Jay-Z/dead prez collabo “Hell Yeah,” for example.) They have little interest in dialogue. These man always seem to end up in French/Max B/Rick Ross/Gucci Mane or similar threads saying the same thing and starting the same dead arguments / The way I see it, Nas is the greatest rapper alive but guys like French and Rick Ross are the best out in 2012. Just like how for example, Dr. Dre is one of the greatest producers alive but right now guys like Lex Luger, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. league and Noah Shebib are the best out. Lol, what has French done to be considered better than Nas though, answer the question, just because Nas has been in the game for 20 years doesn't mean that he still isn't the best out currently, when has French spit a verse like Triple Beam Dreams? Don't worry i'll wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin King Louie Jr Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Also, your comparison is not accurate, Dr Dre has been inactive for the last 5 years. Nas isn't, i agree with you that Justice League and c o are better than Dre, but thats more due to Dres lack of interest in making music. However Nas is not the same, he still manages to drop albums every 2 years and drops verses on other rappers mixtapes/albums etc. In fact he is more in demand than French Montanna.

Martin King Louie Jr Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 *bangs head on wall* This is the thing no one has said French is the best of all time just in 2012 what he is doing is better than what nas is doing in 2012 IMO didn't really need this debate to be dragged out just guys missing the point and making stupid comments about his tapes And i ask you to name what verses French has dropped that are better than Nas in 2012 or 2011 for that matter and you can't even answer me? Or you telling me that French is the best in 2012 simply on the basis of his verse on Stay Schemin, his chorus that he jacked from Nas and Shot Caller, is that what your saying?

Your not very smart, your backtracking now. Now your trying to make it seem like a popularity thing, when before you clearly said that French was the best rapper out in 2012, not the hottest or most popular but the best. Also what does having music played in the clubs have to do with anything, i beg you come out with a better argument than that, why did you say Nas is the greatest of all time, based on club tunes?

Martin King Louie Jr Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 The argument would work with the likes of Rakim, Eminem, heck even Jay Z, but it doen't apply to everyone, Xavi at 30 is still better than Wilshere at 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
