Rappers Delight
Have you ever wonder why bad things happen to good people? They said the good die young. Why is it the good kids always go down the wrong path?
Just recently here at the offices of "El Wisdom" we have a new intern working for us. Young, bright, personable kid just recently graduated from the Pennsylvania State University with honors. His future is promising after his time at "El Wisdom", he will go on to do great things. However, like most youngster of his day and generation he can be misguided in a few areas. As we all know the intelligence in the movie going youth culture is substandard, but I can mostly get over the fact that he states Vince Vaughn is the best comedic actor of all time. I can deal with people being that uneducated in movies. What I cannot deal with is someone being that uneducated in the world of Rap Music, for some reason it just sickens me.
The other night a couple of friends and I were out and this young man (we will call him Wilbur for anonymity) was being introduced to some young ladies friends of mine. One of the fine young woman was inquiring how old he was, where he was from and some likes & dislikes. The subject of music came up and like every American he claims to have an eclectic taste but realistically it is as Top 40/Mainstream as it gets, that always happens with shallow people. She then asked who is favorite musical artist was and Wilbur said he like Busta Rhymes (Whooo-HA!!). Now I will never criticize who one person likes in music because there are definitely random bands and artists who I think are good and others scoff at me (especially art house goons like Dan Filowitz, he would laugh at the fact that I thoroughly enjoy The Counting Crows). Now what I can separate is the fact that I enjoy the Crows but I would never try to legitimize them as a top notch band of all time. Listen, they are certainly not the Beatles or the Stones, they are not even Pink Floyd or The Yardbirds, but I still enjoy there tunes. What these young yahoo's can't differentiate is liking some artist but being able to separate that artists place in history. The point being, Wilbur, informed me that Busta Rhymes was the greatest MC of all time.
Well next thing I know I am in the ambulance on the way to the hospital and the paramedics are asking if I know my name, what city am I in, etc. Needless to say, I had a nasty bump on the back of my head from hitting the ground at Mach 2. I then asked him to please explain himself and his biggest arguments were that Busta had the biggest variety of styles (?) and his longevity. The fact that he has maybe mostly crappy albums over the last 6 or 7 years didn't seem to bother him, just the fact that he has been making albums, or what this yahoo considered decent albums. As much as I think people can play around with other lists, like Top 10 Comedy Movies, or Top 10 Albums or even Top 10 Brand of Cheese Snack, for some reason the Top 10 Rap artists of all time seems too important to me.
Rap music has been so influential and so groundbreaking in its 30 years in the American culture that its importance must be dealt with seriously. Not since Elvis shook his hips on the Ed Sullivan show had America so moved by a cultural phenomenon. Especially when you consider the roots of rap music coming from the streets of post Civil Rights movement ghettos, and the fact that it was a way of lamenting the African-American experience and describing their anger with the system. Since then it is has grown to be the most successful cross over genre of music ever. Honestly, to this very day its importance on American society and culture is still vastly underrated. The artists in the Top 10 category have all been seminal and important to the fight and the cause of rap music, and I think they are fairly indisputable (of course this will spark massive controversy here on "El Wisdom") I do feel there are field of educated readers of this site who's insight and commentary will be greatly appreciated and it is because of their age and the experience of growing up in the belly of the beast of this cultural shift in the late 80's and early 90's in an neo-urban suburb where the mix of the black and white cultures was volatile during these important times when rap music shifted from the streets into the mainstream culture.
The best way I can make legitimate comparisons for everyone is to take the Rappers and compare them with All-Time Baseball greats. And by the way, my list has 11 artists, but you will soon see why. I also feel there is no real order you can list them, but just all one giant category of greatness:
The Beastie Boys (Jackie Robinson)- Even though there significance of breaking the color barrier would seem to have been done a lot sooner than Jackie Robinson it is the importance that counts. Especially consider that rap music was a world dominated on the meanest streets of the city when 3 white kids decided it was time to turn hip hop on its head. There infectious rhymes and obscure & varied references along with the unbelievable hard core rock sound laid beneath the tracks still has yet to be rivaled. They, like Robinson, where seen sort of as a meal ticket, someway to just make money by doing something different, but they always answered the bell and have made groundbreaking hip hop for 20 years.
Biggy & Tupac (Joe Dimaggio)- They are the two most immensly talented artists in every form of the game. Flow, artistry, lyricism, cross over appeal, hit making and street credibilty from coast to coast nobody ruled like these two did. Like Dimaggio they were the model of consistancy on every track, never a bad one made. When they rapped with others they always made them better because of their greatness. Neither one of them set out to be the greatest they simply were; they were effortless in their command over the mic. Forever they remain linked because of the circumstances that ended their lives and their careers (sort of for Tupac?). Again, like Dimaggio they may not have the highest average or hit the most homeruns, but they just pounded away hits and rarely struck out.
Chuck D. (Ted Williams)- Now the opposite of the above, he set out to be the greatest and most influential MC and he accomplished that and more. Chuck D. saw rap music as a forum to explore the black experience through a sort of controlled rage that he unleased on the microphone. And what is worse, after he spit, like Williams he then told you how good he was, and as much as you didn't like it, you certainly could not deny it.
Everything about his style, delivery, message and use of words as a weapon is something every tries to reach and somehow never will (like batting .406). His use of rap music as a political forum is what helped recognize rap music as an art form and allowed for the continued legitmacy of the music.
Eminem (Alex Rodriguez)- For some reason people always want to tear him down, but when you really sit back and listen to him he is captivating, controversial, smooth on the delivery and vicious with his words. His first album was a great debut from a brand new man to the game, and somehow he had to try and top that success. With the release of his second LP he became a force in the game; The Marshall Mathers LP was a raw stripped down version of the happ go lucky hip hop of the new generation. It was raw, emotionally charged and forceful like the orginal rap from the streets. Through his three major label LP's and guests tracks he always produces hits whether people think they are or not (like A-Rod). He has faded a little, but he will rebound and come back strong because his style is too raw to be ignored.
Jay-Z (Barry Bonds)- He can easily be compared to the greats of all time, but the old schoolers (traditionalists) don't want to really give him credit. He started out raw and from the streets of Brooklyn but then beefed up to be come a multi-million dollar hip hop mogul. All the while producing some of the biggest rap hits of all time. His last 3 albums are all classics from top to bottom, they are a throwback to old school hip hop with there bass lines and big time beats along with Jay's smooth almost effortless delivery. Though it seems slow it is a masterful style of rhyming that nobody can rival (like Bonds overall talent on the field of being able to hit for power, drive in runs, steal bases, and field). He is an all time great no matter what problem people try to find with him.
KRS-One (Stan Musial)- He is an all american original. He is from the birthplace of hip hop, the streets of the Bronx. He was brought up at the golden age of hip hop and he was an undergound version of Chuck D. While his group never achieved the same amount of commercial success or recognition his polticial and social stance in his music is as important as anyone. He can be said as one who never compromised his rap music into "selling out," always being a black sheep with his controversila lyrics against whites, society and other rap artists. He can battle anyone at anytume nobody has a mastery of the english language and the ability to annunciate and rhyme words the way KRS can and always will. Like his baseball counterpart Musial he will always be lost in the discussion of all time greats, even though Musial played in 24 All-Star games and got 3600 hits, KRS has been as important to the growth and longevity of rap.
LL Cool J (Babe Ruth)- He is the Babe, he is the Sultan of Swat. LL Cool J was the first and only true rap megastar. He has made 11 platinum albums over the past 20 years, that record is unmatched and may never be touched. His 1991 release "Mama Said Knock you Out" was the second biggest rap album of all time (behind "The Chronic"), but it still stands as Ruth's 60 HR's even though others have passed that number his still stands. LL Cool J burst on the scene with a smooth delivery and street wise lyrics of "I can't live without my Radio," his lyrics transformed into the first rap love songs and the ladies could not resist, but then he went back to the raw street rapper and then became a cross over artist who made number 1 albums on each level of his career evolution. The difference in albums like "Mama said Knock you out," "Mr. Smith," "Radio," and "The Todd Smith Album" is so stunning yet they are all so revolutionary in their sound and lyrical content.
Rakim (Sandy Koufax)- While his career has lasted for a long time it was his few years of complete dominance over th mic with make him a hall of famer. Rakim's delivery is the most unique of all time. He crafted his rhymes like poetry, filling his lines with elaborate metaphors and complex internal rhymes, and he played with the beat like a jazzman, earning a reputation as the smoothest-flowing MC ever to pick up a mic. His articulation was clear, his delivery seemingly effortless, and his influence on subsequent MCs incalculable. Like someone would describe Koufax her had the best "stuff," his curveball unhittable and his fastball able to blow you away. Rakim is the original MC who rocked the mic like none other and his style and delivery will always be emulated.
Run DMC (Ty Cobb & Honus Wagner)- They started it all, they are the original hit makers. Rap was still obscure until 3 youngsters from Hollis Queens decided they need to drop some street wise knowledge with the fattest beats of all time. There combination of the greatest rap DJ of all time and the duo frontman rhyming back and forth created the perferct symbiotic relationship. Their debut album "It's like that/Sucker MC's" was spare, blunt, and skillful, with hard beats and powerful, literate, daring vocal and the style of trading lines and finshing each others verses. Run DMC was hardcore from the streets and the brought rap from a singles based genre to a totally conceptulaizrd LP based form of music. They hold all the original records of hip hop they are the first tru star of the game. Their music will always be looked upon with reverence as their hardcorse style paved the way for all the rap that came after them.
Snoop Doggy Dogg (Willie Mays)- He burst on the scene as a guest artist with Dr. Dre in the movie tilte theme song "Deep Cover." The first time you heard that single you started asking who is that guy and how does he do that? His laid back west coast style of smooth rhymes and hardcore lyrics combined with a infectious flow to his voice made him an instant success. He was prominatley featured on the most important rap album ever, Dr. Dre's 1992 "The Chronic." The album featured Snoops smooth kick ass delivery combined with the P-Funk bass grooves all mixed with Dre's top notch producition skills. Snoop became the biggest star in the game. Everything he does turns to gold or platinum and he is beloved by everyone. Snoop the persona and Snoop the rapper are one in the same, the laid back west coast playa with the words, flow, rhymes and skill to rock the mic anywhere anytime.
Yes there are other important hip hop artists both popular and mainstream as well as the littler known and more underground. Some of those also receiving votes who I could think of are; Common, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Nas, Slick Rick, Method Man, Mobb Deep, and Guru-Gangstarr.
Just recently here at the offices of "El Wisdom" we have a new intern working for us. Young, bright, personable kid just recently graduated from the Pennsylvania State University with honors. His future is promising after his time at "El Wisdom", he will go on to do great things. However, like most youngster of his day and generation he can be misguided in a few areas. As we all know the intelligence in the movie going youth culture is substandard, but I can mostly get over the fact that he states Vince Vaughn is the best comedic actor of all time. I can deal with people being that uneducated in movies. What I cannot deal with is someone being that uneducated in the world of Rap Music, for some reason it just sickens me.

Now what I can separate is the fact that I enjoy the Crows but I would never try to legitimize them as a top notch band of all time.

"SP Loves SP" that's all I have to say. SP has told me that about Busta Rhymes and I never agreed with him because my favorite rap artists of all time include The Roots (you speak of Talib Kwali, Common, etc and no mention of The Roots) and Outkast. It is hard to differentiate from the most influencial rap artists to the BEST rap artists but I guess a balance between the two is what would produce a Top 10. Of course the Old School guys like Chuck D. Run DMC, etc are going to be in there because they started it, to say the least.
I think you can make the comparison between LL Cool J and Michael Jordan just as easily as you can to Babe Ruth...because LL Cool J is still around (out of his prime) and can sell tickets (a la MCI Center and the Wizards) but he is no where close to being who he once was. And the reason for it:
MAINSTREAMING
The reason I have a lot of respect for The Roots is because they do not mainstream their music. P Diddy is the most repeat offender of mainstreaming and while I respect him for making a lot of money because people "like" his music, I despise his ties with and his constant reminders of his ties with Biggy.
I would have to admit that Big Boi from Outkast is beginning to mainstream his music but Andre 3000 has always sort of stayed off on his own. Anyway, your discussion should have included (and you always leave something out because you're a dumbass) a list of the Top 10 Rap Albums of all time...That being said, you can separate the filth from some of your Top 10 Artists. You have to agree that you slam Busta for having 6 or 7 shitty albums, but your boy Snoop Dogg is on a long string of them as well. BUT, Snoop is definitely one of the best ever, in his prime. Eminem had two solid albums and then kind of hit a mainstream string, however, he is one of the greatest lyricists of all time. Jay-Z's best album was Reasonable Doubt, BY FAR, NO QUESTION and he has sort of come back to his roots a little in the last couple of years.
Let me clarify that there is a difference in becoming mainstream and creating mainstream music. Guys like P. Diddy, D4L, Juvenile, Baby, Lil Wayne, Lil Jon, Nelly, and a TON of others create their music to be mainstream. Others, like some on your list, become mainstream because their music IS THAT GOOD. You have to think to yourself, in 50 years on the Oldies station are they going to play Lil John or LL Cool J? I really hate mainstream rap music and though I listen to it, this discussion bothers me as well even though I am not old enough to have gone through the "Rap Movement" in the 80's.
Now, back to THE ROOTS. If Black Thought were to mainstream his lyrics and songs, THE ROOTS would always have a Top 40 hit and Black Thought would be considered someone like Eminem (a great lyricist). But, to me, they have their own music, a blend of jazz, blues and rap (BTW: when you talk about the HISTORY of rap music, it came from negro spirituals, "harlem renaissance" type music including jazz and the blues) which makes them UNIQUE. Phew, I got out my promotion of The Roots, but I really think they need to be known...especially by a kid from PHILLY and another loser from NJ (which is close enough to Philly). Another BTW: Kwame Dawes is a teacher at USC, who I took for a couple of English classes, and he has a book written about Bob Marley as a Poetic lyricist...good read if you get the chance. White people will never consider Rap an ART even though its roots in the black movement and the music industry have produced the most widely popular form of music ever in HISTORY. Sorry this was so long.
This goes to the top of the list. You could submit this to a blog award and walk away, especially if you sent a picture in all your whiteness...
If Beastie Boys are Jackie Robinson, then 3rd Bass is Larry Doby. It's a little known fact, but MC Search owns the ASCAPs on Nas' Illmatic becuase he put him out first on "Live at the BarBque"
I've got so little argument on any of your selections. They're all well thought out and I've got little to nothing to take offense to.
As for The Roots, they're more like Tony LaRussa in that they created their own style "and didn't give it a name." Black Thought's lyrics have gone from underground, to commercial to street to whatever. The Roots, and you're talking to a huge fan who's seen them live twice, are their own entitiy that created something that no one has followed since, but everyone is willing to use. Like people complain about the use of the closer and relief pitching (which I'm taking the side that LaRussa inovated), everyone from Jay-Z to LL Cool J to Mos, Common and Kayne are willing to use live musicians with their songs in studio or live.
Busta Rhymes isn't in the top ten, but he's got an argument to the fact that he's got a ton of No. 1 hits that would be on that oldies station in the future. I can't think of a comparable player, maybe Nolan Ryan with the strikeouts and no-nos but never a Cy Young award.
And since my sister hung out with Andre and she tells me he used to come by our house, Das EFX is special. If you think about it, their style of blabbering words and old TV catchphrases was shunned on at first, yet could be heard right away (Fu-shniks) and from then on (any time Snoop or anyone says For Shizzle) Maybe the first guy to throw a splitfinge, curve ball or something like that...
I could go on, but that wouldn't help anyone would it.
CAP ANSON Out
Imperial- this is not your best blog...your best blog was Wizard of Oz.
SP does love SP, somebody needs to. Somebody tell the Desert Eagle that the Roots are doo and that Busta Rhymes came out solo when I was in the 7th grade and is STILL putting out hits annually.
