d00d, I listen to all that shit. I never said it was terrible. I respect what Master P did back in the day, btu that shit got no airplay from me.
I challenge you though to go and grab a pac album (before he took it up the ***) and put it against anything out now. Go get Eric B and Rakim Paid in full and nothing today is touching it. It used to be a craft to put beat to music. It's all in the beat now. That's what I look for. I can listen to a Lupe or the Roots or Kanye because they do that. It's not the best shit I heard, but it's decent.
But that's the art of music, different strokes for different folks.
