That's not quite right. A prerelease version (with a considerably different tracklist) was leaked over a year ago, but the album didn't actually drop until October. Van Hunt put out what I think was the best CD of 2006; damn sure the best R&B CD of 2006
I definitely agree that On the Jungle Floor was the best CD (R&B or otherwise) of 2006. Where we differ is that I think The Evolution of Robin Thicke is an easy #2. Nope check out Omar's Sing(if you want it) and Amp Fiddler's Afro Strut for a start. But for me the best RNB album of 2006 was Bilal's unreleased A love for sale. | |

Oh, yeah! "Canibus" was, from what I listened to, an analytical lyricist. I don't know if you could really call him a rapper from the standpoint that his flow always seemed to have thrown me off....and I happen to have the habit of looking into a lot of things from beneath a superfluous view. He was a great poet. "Poet Laureate II" was pretty good. I listened to the whole thing and tried to intellectually trace it steb-by-step, but I wasn't successful. I will say one thing, though. I liked "Rip The Jacker". I mean, he told "LL" off. But, the majority chose "LL" because the majority were into "LL". I haven't always been crazy about Canibus' delivery with expression of words. It sometimes seemed like he had so much to say that it never came out in a rapper's sense of flow and rhythm. It was often like spoken word. I write like that sometimes. But, I favor Em's sense of flow better. I'd say that Canibus is the better poet, while Em' outshines him as a rapper. Sorry for the long post. 
Em is a bad motherfather, I like him more than Canibus, but really, Em is not saying anything. His shit is totally vapid, which is why he's stuff gets worse and worse. The trailer thug, I hate my wife and mommie shit, let me prank on pop stars thing got old. He's a character rapper. [Edited 7/10/07 23:00pm] | |

[Edited 7/10/07 23:00pm] But, every since after "Proof" died, one would think that he'd be rippin' it all over people's featurin' tracks, but, NOOOOO!!! I mean, you should have heard his verse on the "T.I. vs. T.I.P." song called "Touchdown". He sucks ass. He's slowly falling apart. I want to think that he still has it. I so, don't want to think thath he is just a "Character Rapper". I mean, even though he was such a fool during "The Slim Shady LP Era", I loved the dude's work. I know this might seem farfetched, but I would like to think that somewhere in-between "The Slim Shady LP" and "The Marshall Mathers LP" releases, there lied "The Realest Marshall Bruce Mathers III" since "Infinite".[Edited 7/10/07 23:08pm] | |

Even though he lost to some other guy that no one really remembers. I will agree that, "NOW", he's not worth a pelting of pigeon shit. But, back then, the skill farther surpassed the hype. You've got to believe me on that one. There was no denying that boy's talent. His downfall was breakiing up/breaking off "Bad Meets Evil" with "Royce Da 5'9" and finding/signing "50 Cent"; Whom to which he became impressionable by and started taking on that "Gangster Persona" that we see being mixed with immaturity and a bunch of fart jokes, noises, and preschool-like sound effects. Will "The Real Slim Shady" please stand up? [Edited 7/10/07 21:08pm] I don't know who you listen to but Talieb could touch Em, Pharoah Monche could touch Em ANY DAY, Royce da 5'9" could touch Em ANY DAY - as a matter of fact Royce was the hotness in the D - not Em. I think you may have seen 8 mile too many times and started believing it. There's a long list of MCs that could best Em and cats like Rakim, KRS-1 and Chuck D that Em has never come close to. Go listen to Immortal Technique or even Canibus - YES CANIBUS! His written is far and above Eminem. Chamillionaire can touch Em in a battle. Do you know who Supernatural is? Em would get eaten alive in a freestyle battle with that cat. Em gets his respect because he is damn nice on the mic. The pop crowd decided he was the "best" but the pop crowd doesn't even know 1/3 of the MCs I named. True headz know what time it is. This is NOT an Eminem thread. George Michael is nicer on the mic than Robin Thicke. That is all. Preciely. Tell'em BK. Its time for the novices to learn and hopefully listen. | |

Two other great records were: Anthony David - Red Clay Chronicles Anthony Hamilton - Southren Comfort They were better thn Robin's CDs to me along with Bilal and Amp. I could go on but why bother? | |
