No, I don't, because he's not. He's above average and better than most, but deserves nowhere near as much accolades as he receives.

I don't know why it bothers me so much that so many writers who are so good at looking beyond the bullshit and exploring the truth that lies behind the superficial presentation, so often suck Jay-Z's nuts.

Exactly. I'm a big Tarantino fanboy but Death Proof is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Tarantino was all smug about the people who didn't like it, saying something like, "They're all a bunch of old men who've never spent any time with women." But Jesus Christ, If there are really women out there who talk…

@avclub-6463731acbc7db8bcd174cddca74e2dd:disqus I called them "above average." I never called them average. But please, neither Biggie or Jay would ever put together a verse like the GZA's on "Wu Banga 101" or Rakim's second verse on "Lyrics of Fury" or a song as good as Kane's "The Wrath of Kane" or an album of…

And who the fuck are you? A member of the "hip-hop fandom police task force squad"? Fuck you. Call my "hip-hop fandom" into question all you want. I don't listen to music to please random people on the internet I don't even know. Like I give half-a-shit about whether you consider me a "hip-hop fan" or not.

For one, do you really want to read like a 20,000 word article?

This is true. RtD is a classic. But Biggie is nowhere near the greatest rapper ever. It's like The Chronic. Also a classic, but nobody's claiming Dre or Snoop are the greatest rappers to ever live (although Big is better than both, he's still overrated.)

Probably vastly overrated, because it's difficult to argue MOST  when Jay-Z's still around. You can't deny that he (Big) has a handful of genuinely classic songs. But you also cannot deny that lyrically he's a B-level rapper. Above average, but rarely excellent. Jay-Z gets a similar description, but Biggie had a…

Yeah, in my opinion, you're pushing it trying to find 32 movies that are better than The Matrix, period. I'm sort of shocked that AVclub is going to find 32 more in just one decade, supposedly….

If anything, Fight Club should be more reveletory now. People are so frightened and so fearful about stupid shit, that we've gone into full-blown boss-worship. Norton's character should be a hero for all the sad sacks licking their boss's balls just to hold on to their puny internship. Hell, the problems we're…
