Rap Gladiators!

I listen to everything from 80s to present. I rec you "White Lines" and you say, "eh, it's okay, I can appreciate it, but not something I'd really listen to on my own". I rec you La the Darkman, "it's boring, can you tell me the good songs?"... I get it if you don't like my underground whiteboy rap and prefer more traditional golden era stuff, but if you don't go beyond mainstream hippop there isn't much modern music that captures the essence of (imo) quality lyrics, diverse flows, and interesting beats from that time. I love the classics but I wanna hear new things too.

Also, there's no way you listen to a wider variety hiphop than I do.

i didn't dislike la the darkman... i just said it was underwhelming

keep in mind this is an album that you told me was up there with cuban linx/liquid swords/etc

but yea you like more old school **** and more nerdcore rap than i do. i like 90's rap and some late 80's stuff but i'm not really into that ancient sounding b boy ****

but you can't appreciate a good majority of mainstream rap from 2000 onward, and you completely ignore/dismiss all trap oriented rap music

so yea i say i listen to at least as wide a variety as you... except the **** i like is better
