By now you guys should have heard about VIBE‘s Best Rapper Ever contest. If not, where have you been?
This week R.E. and I go in on the brackets, debate over the first round, and who deserves to be in the top seeds.
Speaking of top seeds, we also discuss the foolishness that was Joe Budden’s 9 minute video rant over being ranked #32. On that topic Mouse Budden really needs to fall back just a little.
Listening to ‘Padded Room’ reminds me Phonte’s line off of the ‘Tension’ track from the ‘Chitlin Circuit’ mixtape:
‘I coppped your 12 inch/how you let your instrumental out rhyme you, n***a?’
Typically I take the time to properly introduce the segment but this time around we get right into the topic with little fanfare and no minced words. Tell em how you really feel!
