Kanye don't spit real thought provoking lyrics, but his style is raw as hell. His album is cold as fuck, bottom line. And it's true, Richard S. would beat Kanye in a battle, but he wouldn't crush him. I'm a big Jilla fan, love his shit, but I'm not a "mainstream hater" like a lot of folks, hatin everything that makes it to radio or T.V., even if it's tight. I bet if Twista and Kanye weren't on T.V. and radio a lot of people would be more open about the fact that they feelin their shit. I could give a fuck if someone's "mainstream" or not, if it's tight I'ma give credit where it's due and support the mothafucka.
