American Hip-Hop (otherwise known as, *ahem*, Hip-Hop) sure has its fair share of problems but its light years ahead of that shitty UK hip-hop scene. Who's the greatest British MC again? Dizzee Rascal? LMFAO. Oh wait, that's right, its STILL Slick Rick. And he's only "a British rapper" in the same way that DJ Premier…

Right, because everyone loved those Missy albums for her dope verses, not for the trailblazing Timbaland production. C'mon, I loved Supa Dupa Fly back in the day but it sure as hell wasn't for the Missy quotables. And again, "reach this level of stardom" disqualifies MC Lyte. She had 3 gold singles. That's it.

Missy Elliot? As a actual MC? No.

She really is the best female rapper to write her own rhymes and reach this level of stardom. By far.

It's a diss track to Lil' Kim, who's been trying to revive her dead, dead career (that only exists in the first place because Biggie wrote her entire debut album, but hey, don't let that stop you from claiming to be the "GOAT femcee" amirite?) via 50 Cent style "beef".

Streets Disciple is a boring album with the criminally bland production that's a hallmark of the lesser Nas LPs. I remember seeing people matter-of-factly claim it was better than College Dropout and wondering what they were snorting. Triple Beam Dreams is the best Nas guest verse in YEARS. Nas fans are now screaming…

Kanye's last LP won album of the year from pretty much EVERYBODY. His first 3 albums are classics. Chris Cornell went solo in 97 and has been making awful, irrelevant music ever since. That Timbaland mess was his highest charting solo LP, what does that tell you?

Considering how Jay-Z's last collaboration album turned out, WTT will be remembered as a classic.

"underdeveloped Neptunes track"? How come critics adamantly refuse to acknowledge the fact that The Neptunes talent fell off a cliff shortly after "What Happened to That Boy"? Superthug is them at their minimalist best. Nowdays if they produce a beat that isn't unlistenable, its like a miracle.

Wait, we're hating on Last Crusade now? Die in a fucking fire with your kids.

I'm tired of the bitching about Crystal Skull. When's the last time any of you fucks watched Temple of Doom in its entirety? Skull is better than Doom. Easily. Hell, the only reason ToD isn't reviled is because the heart-ripping scene is so fucking awesome it carries the entire film.

HURR DURR HE'S THE WORST RAPPER SINCE THAT DJ PREMIER GUY, AMIRITE?

The scene is a bunch of Tony POV shots. The blackout is Tony's final POV shot. Tony's fucking dead. Chase even wanted to ditch the credits and have it last all the way to the HBO logo. C'mon.

I clicked on the Wonder Showzen link out of boredom and My God is that interview funny. As fuck. Holy shit. The audio of that interview should be included in the DVD box set or something.

For SOME reason, all the hipster music critics love to *only* review either trendy underground rappers like Odd Future or the dumbest southern trap music in existence. What the fuck?

If you know anything about cable ratings, you know that 7.6 million is still GODLIKE.

"OJ" is a banger. Fabolous in full blown Funeral Fab mode and then right into a Jadakiss verse. Fuck AV Club for, apparently, being completely ignorant to D-Block's existence.

As far as mindlessly ignorant coke rap collaborations go, the new French Montana/Waka Flocka Flame tape is WAY better.

OJ is the best song on the album. KILLIN THAT WHITE BITCH. Could you imagine if a big name rapper did that hook in 1996? Plus it has verses from Al Qaeda Jada and post-"There Is No Competition" Fabolous.

@avclub-b0f7b8df4360f2dc6d1214ab16072ba3:disqus fuck that, Covert Coup is a goddamn classic. Its Alchemist. If you loved Return of the Mac, you loved Covert Coup.
