How are you not acting like any of your stuff doesn't stank? You say that despite listing off why all the members in your group are the top in their respective category. And I'm not denying that 4/5ths of your squad has good chemistry, it's the relevance of the members that I'm calling into question. Lauryn is a pretty good rapper, a much better singer and I wouldn't have said anything if you had nominated her your singer since she is one of my favorites in hip hop (singer, that is). But you act like she's the female Rakim or something, which against competition of other females I guess could be right, but compared to some of these legends she doesn't even rank. Wyclef is cool and all, a good musician and he has an awesome voice, but I just don't like his music much. Badu is again OK, with you again overrating her albums because I wouldn't even give any of her albums a top 20 ranking, as far as R&B goes. I like Questlove production but hearing Wayne over it would sound a bit like when he jacking outlandish beat for one of his mixtapes and ends up not doing anything interesting. I guess if you like the beats that Wayne gets than I don't really know how to argue, because I just hear him making a fool out of himself on tracks like Phone Home and almost cringe. If you think that stuff like Got Money and Phone Home are "good ****" then I guess we just have very different tastes.He could be a very good artist if he stuck with producers that would give him beats that would really compliment his style, and be more selective with them. Oh and if I wanted a gritty verse, I don't think Wayne would be very high up on my list.
Oh and for my favorite Fugees song it is definitely "Ready or Not," which I believe is about death but I could be wrong because I haven't listened to it a whole lot. It also has my favorite Wyclef quote:
Gun blast, think fast I think I'm hit
My girl pinch's my hips to see if I still exist
I think not, I send a letter to my friends
A born again, hooligan only to be king again
As far as a Lauryn quote goes I can't really think of one off the top of my head because I'm not sure it would definitely be in a Fugees song like I was with Wyclef, so I may need a minute to think of my absolute favorite, but I'll leave you with this gem for now:
And even after all my logic and my theory, I add a mother ****** so you ignorant ******s hear me.
I like the Fugees and Lauryn I just don't like them as much you clearly do, I'm not saying they're bad. I guess I didn't need to step up for this guy, but I was merely starting conversation because this topic could be really cool if people talked about it.
And this isn't meant to be a personal attack or anything I'm just discussing my opinion of your squad.
EDIT: I haven't listened to enough Lauryn to know what song that two percentile reference is from, but all I can remember is her comparing herself to gamma rays in next line or something.
