Oi Oi!

Dont lump Diddy in with my boy Jay Z. The mans a legend.

Aye.

Bloody right - the man's a god. Never writes his lyrics down you know - can Pete Doherty say the same?

Pfft

...

He's an all-time great, made a fair few duff radio records but the album tracks speak for themselves.

Are you serious?
that came across as one of the most ridiculously narrow-minded / prejudiced / ignorant generalisations I've read in quite a while. not to mention latently racist sounding.

Jay-Z is a fucking amazing rapper
he was conceived under a sycamore tree
which made him a more sicker MC

Seriously if you listen to a decent range of hiphop you'll realise there's a vast range of skill and ability and talent and style in rap, being able to come out with that kind of flow is pretty unique, especially given he doesn't write stuff down and a lot of it's just freestyle... sounds like you need to pull yourself out of that suburban alt-rock ghetto and experience some other music before you generalise about it.

Then why 'fair play' to him? It was his decision to give himself a stupid pseudonym in the first place. And how admirable of him to change it back for the benefit of exploring business opportunities...

Clearly never learned Maths...

No. The 'revelation' would be a Hip Hop fan responding to everybody that dares to voice an opinion in confliction with his by branding them 'limp wristed' and 'indie shoegazers'. I certainly can't criticise you for lack of originality.
