Ahem, allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is Just K.
I’ll be borrowing the JusHH blueprint to give the good people of the PTM community a little insight as to who I am. (Double shout to Scoop Jackson).
I believe that Luke was one of the best and worst things to happen to hip-hop.
I believe that rap would be completely different without video girls.
I believe that video girls would be completely different without Luke or Sir Mix-a-Lot.
I believe that a lot of people really didn’t understand NWA.
I believe that Lil’ Wayne has substantially decreased his intake of lyrical HGH since The Dedication 2.
I believe that Bang ‘Em Smurf sounds like the name of an animated porno flick.
I believe that Devin the Dude is horribly underrated; humor doesn’t get enough appreciation.
I believe that Scarface doesn’t get enough credit as a pioneer.
I believe that Lauryn Hill, D’Angelou, Maxwell, and Elvis are working on a sick collabo album as we speak.
I believe that Papoose, Saigon, Stat Quo, Hot Rod, E. Ness, Babs, Chopper, and Spliff Star are also in the process of making a sick collabo album (that no one will hear)
I believe that lyrics are nothing without a strong delivery; if you can’t deliver, do poetry or ghostwrite.
I believe that American Gangster was Jay-Z’s best work.
I believe that the Untitled album was Nas’s best work.
I believe that freestyling is painfully overrated.
I believe that Guru is almost as overrated as freestyling.
I believe that writing without writing is more overrated than Guru, but slightly less than freestyling.
I believe that the word “classic” gets tossed around quite carelessly.
I believe that the Midwest is the best place to find quality hip-hop right now.
I believe that hip-hop isn’t prepared for Barack Obama.
I believe that almost anyone, with training and polishing, can become a rapper.
I believe that few were born to be great MCs.
I believe that Lupe Fiasco debuted in the wrong decade.
I believe that Big Daddy Kane was a better MC than Rakim.
I believe that Diddy delivered two really good albums in Press Play and No Way Out.
I believe that Belly was a classic movie.
I believe that hip-hop works in cycles.
I believe that quality hip-hop is always being produced; you just have to look a little harder for it.
I believe in PTM.

Nice post K. I agree with most, if not all, of these. I look forward to many more posts.
I BELIEVE IN PTM!!!!!! -_-
welcome.
I believe that we've got a great thing going and its only gonna get better.
preciate the shout to Devin, he's a great artist, Face def doesnt get his due, the midwest is doin it right now, in today's hip hop, yes anyone can become a rapper, look at Game, not to say that he's not a good rapper, but he's admitted that he just sat down and studied rap and then came out and started f'n rappin, sprinkle some thug on him and VOILA! Diddy's albums and Belly are indeed classics (take that take that take that...)
AB
thanks for the welcome.
if you can't see the forest through the trees you need to chop those...down"
Diddy's a legend.
I love you guys but Diddy's albums are not "classic". On No Way Out, he has some classic songs, but that album is not a classic.
He's a legend but he can't rap. His skill level is lodged somewhere between Jay-Z's and Baby from Cash Money's (I'll let you decide how far to each side he might be lol)
I concur.
See "I believe" #17 "the word classic gets tossed around quite carelessly
and
"I believe #24 "...Diddy delivered two really good albums."
Man, from Jay-Z to Baby, huh? Dude's got range.
haha you would have that same "range" if the whole industry wrote for you too...
That's right. I believe in hip hop. Nice post, catch him off the blocks and get right into full stride. Looking forward to more fam.
