TM -
Yeah, I've always dug Easy Mo Bee. Always a solid but usually not spectacular producer, also not really given much credit for his work...
this is sort of a hint at what I used to label each Knick too.
Elite -
For me, 50 Cent had potential, but has been more about pizazz/image than substance. He seemed to talk a good game about things to the media, etc. This is just my view of him of course, but that's similar to the way I view Craw. I had a few other candidates in mind, but I think some here might really go off if I chose a few I thought of.
For Nate to Redman, a lot of talent and passion, and a wildness to his game/personality
Steph as Flav...do I need to go there? (and I actually have respect for them both, even if I don't always like what they do, because they also have done some cool things)...let's put it this way, they are both complex humans, who are polarizing figures amongst fans.
Eddy as Steady B...potential squandered...
Malik as Melle Mel...old school cat with knowledge that used it well, but skill wise not necessarily top game.
Q as The D.O.C....all I have to say is car accident...
Lee as Common...versatile, skillful, yet not necessarily considered the best, but also humble, and highly likable character man.
Ewing Jr....as a young Wyclef...he has talent in a wide range of areas, but as a lyricist you know he is never going to be THE MAN, but he is key to solidifying a good group, is ambitious, has soul, and puts in work...
Gallo as a young Eminem...has to do with the lack of respect Eminem seemed to get when he was trying to make a name for himself, even though he had skills...but he's young so it may not pan out...
and Big Game as Shaq....I think it speaks for itself pretty well...would you prefer I compare him to Brian Austin Green? I think Shaq is a more poetic comparison...haha...
