You a Big L fan? Good man. He's one of the more underrated MC's of the 90's. In my opinion, he's better than Biggie and Tupac. You just have to listen to all of his stuff, including those tracks that can't be aired on the radio.
Lil Wayne, Drake, Soulja Boy... only idiots who never listened to hip hop from the 90's would prefer that crap. The reason why they like the nonsense is because they fall for the hype of soon to be released albums, as if they're waiting for a climax scene in a porno. Maybe instead of jagging off to these freaks, take a trip back to the old school where hip hop was created.
Drake is garbage, Lil Wayne should kill himself and do the world a favor, and there is no law that states music should become worse and worse over time. It's just that the "youth" who love "rap" in 2010 are taught what to like by radio stations, MTV, and their idiot friends.
