The song “the message” was not about good times, and bigger faster stronger, ie Kanye and his pop hop bull shit. Hip hop started from the struggle and repesents the struggle. Wayne was hot before he put out bling bling. No his raps are made for white boys and girls. The fact that you say Kanye and wayne are hotter than mega is just an insult to hip hop.

Neithr of them even spit hip hop. They spit pop hop. You still cant say that Fucing KRS one or BIgg sdaddy kane would jump on a song with Andre 3000, or jada. They know real hip hop, they know what reminds them of MC shan and G rap. BTW… how bout rah digga and roxane shante for feamle mc’s.

You are a hip hop historian.. only if hip hop is radio ass music made for people that dont even kow who krs one is. You do not know hip hop. You dint mention Big L. No legends of hip hop liek the ones that spit with mega would rhyme with most of your wack ass list. Expecially not Kanye and Wayne.

cMON MAN…. dmx, ANDRE 3000 STRAIGHT JOKE S AS HOTTTER THAN MEGA. I ALSO HAVE TO SAY YOUR CREDIBILITY IS PRETTY MUCH DESTROYED WHEN YOU DONT HAVE BIG l IN YOUR TOP 3… VERY WEAK MAN. i KNEW YOU WOULD PUT jAY z # 1. This is on a site where there’s a topic listed as ” Is Jay Z the shakes pear of Hip hop” Please.

Dud LL is a simple rymin cat who was hot in the 80′s. I’ll give you cats like G rap, red man, buckshot, but again, you dont even have AZ up there. Chuck D, you gotta be kidding me. Dude is hot more for his message than his flow. I agree with alot of your choices for hot mc’s/ Although many are basic flow dudes from old days- ie Guru… the basic rhyme master. Your omission of Big L speaks volumes about your taste in music.

40.And I’ll throw in a Woman: MC Lyte

Y’all Children are silly. I can go on. I’m a Hip Historian. There’s been many an MC that are more lyrically and technically sound than Mega. AND as I stated in my earlier post:I fux with Mega. I support his art. But to say he is the best or even near the best is type disrespectful. I just picked all out “Mic Legends”. But I can pick random Mc’s that are better than him. for instance:Craig G, Mad Skills, OC, Big L, AZ the list goes on and on….

AND Yes, he’s not even close to being better than Lil Wayne and Kanye

I must reiterate my earlier point of legends such as KRS 1 are willing to associate themselves with Mega. If you diss mega, you are dissing the jdgement of KRS one. I am sure legends like KRS and Big daddy kane wold not go 10 feet near a mic both with some of of yor “top 100 mc’s” if not all of them.

The People that post here generally feel that if it ain’t “hood” It ain’t hip hop. It’s almost like they claim hood status by the artist that they support. I did not buy this Cormega joint so I won’t comment on it. But I used to buy Mega early works and they were pretty good. But as someone stated dude frequently rhymes off beat and sometimes his beats are weak or stale.

Mega’s Aight but he is nowhere near hip hop elite MC’s. He wouldn’t make my top 100. I fuck with most of the artist profiled on this site but they are for the more nuanced “head” and they define only a segment of the culture; not encompass it.

Do you really think that these legends of the golden age of Ny hip hop would spit with a dude as whack as you guys are saying? If your dissing mega, your dissing the hip hop integrity of fucking Big daddy Kane. Cmon.

This album is definitely hot. But,If you want to nitpick fine: Perhaps some of the hooks are weak.- ie ” Love your family” I actually like the song, but I’ll admit there may be some lazy vocals in that joint and a few others. Still, Journey, Rapture, Make it Clear, and are nasty. Admittedly,I’m a huge mega fan going back to the mystique generated from Nas’”one love”

You guys are entitled to your opinion. But if your comparing mega to lil wayne, drake, jim jones, or any one along those lines, you guys simply FAIL. We all know there is soooooooooo much weak shit out right now. You can’t honestly say this album at the very least, doesn’t feel more hip hop than alot of the crap being put out right now.
