    He's probably top 5 atleast...

    Nothing will touch early-mid 90s rap though with the whole East/West thing...so many great rappers in their primes during this time

    Even late 90s-Early-mid 2000s had some really good/fun stuff, but maybe it's just because I grew up with it I feel that way

    Rap just seems to have fallen off the deep end for the past 5 years or so, some good ones mixed in here or there but overall poor

          Not to me it wasn't. I'm old enough to be of an impressionable enough age when that was coming out, and it did nothing for me. I liked the Blondie song, and thought the dumb rap got in the way, I remember thinking that. When Beastie Boys and KRS-One came out, different story, I was blown away.

            Ha funny you say that as I thought the rap bit was just a short bit in the middle. But just went a watched vid and it's most of the song.


            Toe to toe
            Dancing very close
            Barely breathing
            Almost comatose
            Wall to wall
            People hypnotized
            And they're stepping lightly
            Hang each night in Rapture

            Back to back
            Sacroiliac
            Spineless movement
            And a wild attack

            Face to face
            Sadly solitude
            And it's finger popping
            Twenty-four hour shopping in Rapture

            Fab Five Freddie told me everybody's high
            DJ's spinnin' are savin' my mind
            Flash is fast, Flash is cool
            Francois sez fas, Flashe' no do
            And you don't stop, sure shot
            Go out to the parking lot
            And you get in your car and you drive real far
            And you drive all night and then you see a light
            And it comes right down and lands on the ground
            And out comes a man from Mars
            And you try to run but he's got a gun
            And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
            And then you're in the man from Mars
            You go out at night, eatin' cars
            You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
            Mercury's and Subaru's
            And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars

            Then, when there's no more cars
            You go out at night and eat up bars where the people meet
            Face to face, dance cheek to cheek
            One to one, man to man
            Dance toe to toe
            Don't move to slow, 'cause the man from Mars
            Is through with cars, he's eatin' bars
            Yeah, wall to wall, door to door, hall to hall
            He's gonna eat 'em all
            Rapture, be pure
            Take a tour, through the sewer
            Don't strain your brain, paint a train
            You'll be singin' in the rain
            I said don't stop, to punk rock

            Well now you see what you wanna be
            Just have your party on TV
            'Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars when the TV's on
            And now he's gone back up to space
            Where he won't have a hassle with the human race
            And you hip-hop, and you don't stop
            Just blast off, sure shot
            'Cause the man from Mars stopped eatin' cars and eatin' bars
            And now he only eats guitars, get up!




            I liked it more than I remembered too.

              Do white people discount Tupac, Biggie, **-Tang because they can't really relate? Yes.

              There's no answer here.
              Tupac and Biggie are my favorites of all time. Much respect. I still listen to their music at the gym every single day on my mp3 player.

              I always wonder if they were alive... what kind of new stuff we'd hear in 2000-2015? Still don't understand how 2 of the best rappers of all time just died like that? And nobody knows sh#%?

                              Why does everyone always say 2Pac? 2Pac is probably the most influential rapper, but not the best. Not sure greatest of all time, but Kendrick Lamar and Big Krit are killin the game right now.

                                Ice Cube's son plays Ice Cube. The only guy in the film that actually looks like the real person, IMO.
