Thanks for the shout out at the end, brother! much appreciated. I also appreciate what you did with the shirt for this episode, hat tip! Great list! and well backed up. I almost fully agree, though I can't put Pac on m list, He would make my top 10 for sure, along with Biggie, but not top 5. DOOM would, of course, top my list, and I would likely put Kool Keith on there as well in the 5 spot to bookend the list in the 5 spot. To add Kool Keith I would likely then drop three stacks off of mine as well. so my middle three remain the same with 1 and 5 being pushed back into the larger top 10.

When Reasonable Doubt was released, Jay-Z was older than Tupac ever was. I never forget this fact when thinking of their legacies and development.

Great list . The 3000 number one kinda caught me by surprise but I get it. I could never disagree too much with a Lupe fan. But my top 5 would be: 5) JayZ 4) Kendrick Lamar 3) Tupac 2) Lupe Fiasco 1) Nas Now honestly my.top 3 are sometimes interchangeable as Nas and Lupe have many songs in their catalog that no other would make or think of. Pac was always my number because of his importance and being a fighter for the community and at such a young age making such a impact l. Pac was honestly just getting started. Funny you mentioned the Lupe song He Say She Say because I honestly remember letting a guy hear Food and Liquor because he kept saying the skateboard dude lol. Towards the middle of that song playing tears came from his eyes as he stated that it reminded him of his father. I advise everyone who listens to rap to listen to that album. Total classic but my favorite song on there probably is Just Might Be Ok. My top 3 is also my dream imaginary rap group. Their name would be FTP which stands for Feed The People.

The Company Man I’m glad it turned out well for you. And from what it looks like you’re really living your dream even if I’m sure your career brings its own unique stresses. Taking that leap of faith and leaving a comfortable and lucrative life to pursue your passion takes guts. But I guess you had more faith in yourself than fear and I admire that. And you’re giving something valuable back to the culture. I wish you the best.

Then I thought, "hey maybe a company man video could boost my mood, but idk which one I could watch, I've seen a lot of them". A few minutes later, this video pops up on my feed. Really boosted my mood. Wanted to say, great video, always excellent content, and thank you for helping make my day a little better. 💯
