    so, there's no way that you could provide some information about Del? provide a link..? elaborate on your comment..?

    maybe it's just me... okay, yeah, it is me, but if someone asks a question about your reference, i think it would be clear that they don't know who, in this case, Del is, and it would behoove you to enlighten them... help them understand... you know, provide information in the spirit of education.

    :)

    Ok, I'm sure that if you really wanted to know about Del, you know how to use Google. No matter what I post it's not going to prove his super stylings as I can't showcase his music. However since you asked so nicely, here ya go:



    Cousin of renowned gangster rapper Ice Cube, Del tha Funkee Homosapien (real name Teren Delvon Jones) was born in Oakland, CA, on August 12, 1972, and got his start with Ice Cube's backing band, da Lench Mob. But Del's rap isn't as grim or violent as Ice Cube's is, in fact, he's been known to include something in his music that's far too uncommon in most rap: humor. Signed to Elektra/Asylum, Del's debut release, I Wish My Brother George Was Here, was issued in 1991 and produced by Cube and like most rap at the time, featured numerous samples of Parliament Funkadelic classics from the '70s. Del's follow-up, 1994's No Need for Alarm, was a departure musically, as Ice Cube was no longer in the production seat and the P-Funk sounds were dropped in favor of a more sophisticated, almost jazzy sound. Despite his noble experimentation, Del's sophomore effort failed commercially, as it would take four years for the rapper to plot his next move and issue another recording. Having left Elektra, Del aligned himself closely to a few fellow rapper friends, Casual and Souls of Mischief, and issued his third release overall, 1998's Future Development, for the same label as his friends, Hieroglyphics Records. 2000 saw the release of an all-new Del solo release, Both Sides of the Brain, as well as a self-titled debut release by a side-project, Deltron 3030, which saw Del join forces with both the Automator and Kid Koala.

    If you are really interested in finding out more about one of the most under-rated MCs ever, there are sites all over the place that have more about him. Just place his name in a search engine.

    Up until The Black Album came out I thought Jay-Z was okay. Then his last record comes out and I'm actually impressed from what I've heard. So does he go down as one of the greatest? IMO no. I don't think I would put him on my top ten list.

    Nas > Jay Z.

    That I agree with.

    Being the greatest hip-hop artist is like being the thinnest chick on a fat farm. It doesn't mean much.

    bahhh i was sleeping...


    I do agree that jay-z is an ok rapper but when i started this on haste iwasthinking very much of BIG...he wasnt much of a battler but he could kill jay-z




    (i def dont think you can compare BIG and tupac because they are so much a like...its hard to believe they once did shows together and then tried to kill each other)

    I'll agree with Biggie and Nas being two of the most important Hip-hop artists ever.



    GangStarr

    Krs-One

    Talib Kwali

    Mos-Def

    Black-Thought

    Dan The Automator

    Common

    Del tha Funky Homosapian (aka Deltron Zero)

    Fat Lip

    Q-Tip

    Beatnuts

    The Gza


    are among many that would rip Jay-Z, Emenim, and Tupack
    apart.


    Being a New Yorker, you should support them Comet, since more than half of them are from your city.

    2 Pac would have to be one of the biggest Rappers, and this coming from a girl that only likes some rappers. I'm not a big fan of Jay-Z

    Humpty Hump owns all. :p

    Jay-Z is good, and if you had a gathering of the greatest rappers of all time, he'd deserve a spot at the table, but he isn't the best nor has he had the cultural/historical impact that other rappers have had. We'll just have to check his impact 10 or so years down the road. Honestly though, I know him more because he's Beyonce's man than anything else. :\
