Layrn Hill says hello, if we are talking about more modern artists, I really think Eminem is the best lyricist. He just has excellent word play and meter.

Black Thought, and A Tribe Called Quest, and even The Roots are better lyricist. But Nas is an excellent Hip-Hop artist and easily one of the best.

Agreed 100%...I would like someone else to post something better than these lyrics:

Nas- Affirmative Action

"Life's a b!tch but God-forbid the b!tch divorce me
I'll be flooded with ice so hellfire can't scorch me"

It Aint Hard To Tell

"This rhythmatic explosion, is what your frame of mind has chosen
I'll leave your brain stimulated, **** is frozen
Speak with criminal slang, begin like a violin
End like Leviathan, it's deep, well, let me try again
Wisdom be leakin out my grapefruit troop
I dominate break loops, givin mics men-e-straul cycles
Street's disciple, I rock beats that's mega trifle"

Verbal Intercourse (his best verse)

"Through the lights cameras and action, glamour glitters and gold/I unfold the scroll, plant seeds to stampede the globe/ When I'm deceased, by then the beast arise like yeast/ to conquer peace leaving savages to roam in the streets".

"From the womb to the tomb, presume the unpredictable/ guns salute life, rapidly, that's the ritual".

One Mic

"Shoulda knew she wasn't true she came to me when her man caught a sentence
Diamonds are blindin, I never make the same mistakes
Movin with a change of pace, lighter load, see now the king is straight
Swellin my melon cause none of these **** real
Heard he was, tellin police, how can a kingpin squeal?
This is crazy, I'm on the right track I'm finally found
You need some soul searchin, the time is now"

Nas: Greatest Rapper of All Time

I am sorry but Eminem doesn't even come close to this.

Welcome to the world of Papoose...

nah Papoose is a one-trick pony with his "Alphabetic Slaughter"...Nas is way more complex and his lyrics actually have a meaning to them. Read my post above yours.

Germany plays Austrailia. Everyone says, "Oh Germany won't do good without their captain. No chance this year" 4-0. When Germany faced England everyone said,"Oh England's gonna win! They got Rooney and he'll score like 3 goals. Germany no chance, they have played bad teams". 4-1. Then Germany plays Argentina, everyone says, "Oh England was overrated, but Germany will never get past Argentina's defense! And Messi will finally score!" 4-0. Now Germany plays Spain. See the pattern?Mario2007

It's funny how people are so confident Germany will beat Spain. Yes Spain struggled in this WC but that's because everyone knows how good their tiki-taka is so everyone is defending hard against them. If Germany comes out to play than Spain can catch them offguard. But then again Germany is so good in the counter attack they can as well inflict damage if Spain gets too adventurous in attack.

Another clear example of how the 360 clearly dominates the PS3 in software/hardware sales. Cows during the enitre year of 2010:"Bubut the shortages" :lol:

He has 4 or 5 songs I like but otherwise I can't stand him so: 4/10

Spain has a lot of great players for a formidable offense like Villa, Torres, Fabregas, and even Xavi Alonso and Iniesta come up big sometimes. But they can't seem to play too well as a team, and are all out for individual glory except for David Villa IMO.shakmaster13

Well Spain did win the European Championship so I think they can play well as a team...the only problem I have seen has been Torres. After his surgery, Torres just hasn't been the same.

What I find hilarious is people who DO GAME ON PC but then bash the PS3 and it's exclusives and have full "artillery support" for the Xbox360, a console that shares a significant amount of games from the PC.

I find that disturbing.......disturbing because they have a capable running gaming PC but then they also like the 360? Unless they are super hardcore gamers and collectors.

What could be possibly be so interesting in a 360's library, if they game on a PC? Surely, and there are MANY hermits who would agree, the PC has a far superior library, both Exclusives and Multiplats when you compare it with 360's.

Almost all casuals are console gamers and that is a huge market which does not game on PC. Also you say the PC has a far superior library than the 360? Well than its also way better than the PS3 since both the 360 and PS3 are almost tied for exclusives while the 360 completely destroys the PS3 in multiplats.

Don't know how accurate VGChartz is for the weekly WW hardware data, but for those who are interested and saying that the PS3 always beats the 360 WW:

Weekly Hardware Chart 19th June 2010

Ranked by number of units sold worldwide

Wii: 179,258 Americas: 92,202

X360: 164,907 Americas: 129,325

PS3: 119,466 Americas:49,951

If this data is correct than there is no way the PS3 is ever beating the 360.

Who dived right there? Torres?

It wasn't a dive but it shouldn't have been a yellow.
