i agree with everyone on this thread..............

Yes........And i think Kanye is the Big ticket this year

Just like last year....and the one before.....

I hope Immortal gets the recognition he deserves this year.

What qualities define the "Illest of 2006" anyhow?

Kanye won't release an album this year, which means he'll only be featuring on other people's tracks. And I doubt that will earn him the 'Illest of 2006' award. I like Kanye but he gets rewarded a hell of a lot more than he should.

Too early to tell. yeah, and Kanyes done (for the year) Keep you ear to the street for new Camron, Ghostface+Doom, and Busta. But I allready know who will be the illist of 06' N A S Nas, no doubt. Hes got something up his sleeve for this one. maybe some Jay? who cares, who needs him. Hopefully it drops before the summer! Nas is the greatest mainstream mc before 06 and in 06. The fight is for second place.

it is to early in the year but i think 06 is gonna be game's year with the doctors advocate comin out........jeezy comin hard too

Kayne should release another album because it's good enough be able to be brought into stores this year.

Chuck D from Public Enemy.

If he released an album this year, then it definately wouldn't be good enough to be brought into stores.
