    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.
