i think it's newbies to hip-hop/music in general who fail to realize this. writing them off completely just makes them look ignorant and narrow minded. i mean let's be reality, in 2012 it's already safe to claim that Based God is the hip-hop equivalent of Captain Beefheart & Sun Ra.

I'm going to have to disagree here. I am no newbie, but Masta P is like a bad TV sitcom; great marketing, but that's about it. I'm afraid I tend to write him off. Not out of a bias for boisterous rappers, but because I respect hip-hop as an artform. Frankly, I think even Puff Daddy (using old moniker, because "P Diddy" is more relevant to the business world than to music) had more musical chops than Mr. P.
I can get on board with most of your opinions about hip-hop, but repping the "No Limit Soljas" of the late '90s is just a bit too much for me. Sorry.
For the record, Puff Daddy is a giant tool who's greatest and only respectable achievement was being part of Biggies rise to fame. He's a Vh1 reality douche, and his fragrances and clothing lines are an affront to good taste. Costume accessories for people who want to be douchebags for Halloween.
