    Is Hip Hop becoming like Jazz?

    I don't think eblue was comparing the two as forms of of music but more comparing the two in it's history.

    Yeah Cannibus is one of the best lyrically but he's not gonna be able to sell to the mainstream he just won't sound right over a club track. Plus Canibus is horrible at choosing tracks. He said in an interview he'll rhyme over anything and he can't tell whether a beat is hot or not. Somebody...

    R&B??????

    People say the same thing to me but most of the people who say this don't know much about music or are just beggining to M.C. and think tracks should all sound a certain way. Most good M.C.'s are looking for a track to bring the best out of them, of course rappers don't wanna rhyme over slow...
