Individual longevity: Nas

[/ QUOTE ]

are you serious? he made one classic album, one good album, and a bunch of so-so crap with occasional good stuff ever since. "nas" and "longevity" do not belong in the same sentence.

I can be convinced otherwise if you have a better option.

LL Cool J > Canibus?

[/ QUOTE ]Nelly's run is about over, the whole "thurrrr" singy songy fade is falling, KRS-One is a better lyricist but thats it.

LLCJ kills Canibus, [censored] all you LL haters, he was a rap pioneer and if you are to much a hater to admit that then stop talking to me.

What makes hip hop different from any other forms of music? Or movies?

[/ QUOTE ] Hip Hop is music so there is no difference. Movies are entirely different, because you are generally speaking about one piece of work which is reflected on solely and not as a piece of a catalouge(sp).

I repeat, it is this simple, the best ever had the most success. Success to me is defined as length of career, statying power/appeal, and record sales.

[/ QUOTE ]

i shudder at the thought of what your music collection looks like.

[/ QUOTE ]yeah, I imagine it would bother you to see a lot of the same CD's that you own.

[Jack of Arcades]

So, then, by definition, the best albums of all time would be ranked by total sales?

it would bother me to see that quality music sitting next to some of the crap you probably hold in high regard because of the artist's long career and record sales.
