Nas KILLED Jay-Z in that battle. It's no contest. He did everything better in his song. His flow, content, hook, etc. all outdid Takeover. Sure he had the advantage of going second, but Jay's response to Ether wasn't as good either.
The business man that likes to play hip hop teaming up with the biggest liar in hip hop? Sounds like album of the year!
Diddy's last few efforts haven't sold well, so this is actually a smart move on his part. The final product will still be trash though.
Bush was not the best president, no. However, I always thought it was funny when those that hated him painted him as an evil mastermind. He's a funny guy (in good and bad ways), but Illuminati he is not.
I also didn't think Kanye's statement was appropriate. That must have been pretty hard to wait this long to respond.
Oh man, there's a lot on that list I'd love to read about. I suppose I should just get the book. If you've got the time though, Big Daddy Kane is probably who I'm most interested in hearing about right this moment.
