^ I love Public Enemy, but in my opinion, rap started going downhill after the demise of Pac and Biggie (really, they elevated each other. personally, I consider Pac one of my favorite artists period. Rap or otherwise). Really, I think someone like Nas can indeed be mentioned in the same breath as those artists. He might not have international appeal or be a big name, but the talent is undisputable (well to me).
But I do agree, it is pretty bad with the rap game. For instance, the artists you mentioned in the first post- probably among some of the WORST and undeserving commerically successful artists of the past two decades.
