who's da new leader of da roc???

[da_rippa]

now dat jay's layin off who'll take crown an be da voice of da roc? i pretty much listen to erybody on da label so i dont kno but i do kno dat jay did a shout out on kanye's last call, da track kanye calls himself da rudolph da rednose reindeer of da roc. juelz said dat Cam took ova da roc. Bean's is bein quiet rite bout now an alotta ppl like Peedi Crakk an Oskino Sparks are comin out da woodwork. but who's da man to take it?

 

[N.U.G.]

Kanye Muthafuccin West!

I'd say freeway. His flow is sick. He's not at Jay's level yet, but not many will be. Just my opinion.

Peace

id say there aint one. I think they signed dirt knowin that jay was retire'n and figured odb's name is out there so he can them enough sales till someone steps to the plate to be the man.Bleek was suppose to be gettn ready to step up for a while but he i dont think he can fill the spot.But jay will prolly be like Tooshort and never really retire lol.Plus right now kanye is doin it for em.
Peace

I dont know her current status but Jean Grae is hot material.

roc = roccafella?

 

[Tim D]

MOP

 

[TrustNo1]

are u guys crazy? its obviously gotta be Beanie (if he stays free) or Memph Bleek, they been doin the biggest business and are most prominent. plus Beans is makin the roc enough paper thru state property and Memph has been a soldier forever wit them.

 

[Cold Truth]

kanye has the most exposure, the most marketability, the easiest method of representin by producing everyone and they mama, the underground eats him up, mtv is on his nutts, the critics love him, and he has radio on lock. if any of you really believe beanie, memph, crack or (MOP? you got to be joking....) anyone else (how the hell did jean grae wind up in her? that was just a rumor.) for that matter, you really dont understand what it means to be "the man". no one else can do the things that he does with the level of visability it takes to carry the torch. no one else has those elements.

 

[TrustNo1]

ya but for real, kanye can't hold it down lyrically. i dont think he has enough staying power to be the main man. hes got this year cuz hes killing it with the album, but to me, he doesn't have enough depth. i think the sophomore album wont do as well as college dropout

omilio sparks

 

[nobodyfamous]

really...non of them...the closest is memphis bleek or beans...jay z just appeals to the masses better than any of them...beans if grimey as hell...although i like him, freeway gets on your nerves after the 4th song in a row you listen to him cuz of his voice...memphis is the next in line and the one who only has the potential to appeal to different groups...

I second that (he has Jay's ego)

I thought Beans was supposed to be the quiet one? Besides he could never be leader because he's too hotheaded. (not good leadership material)

Bleek is too much of a sidekick.

Ommilio sparks? Pass whatever you smokin'

well kanye really dont got as much exposure as most of them. but he is luved undaground and mainstream. his lyrics prolly aint strong enuff like trust no1 said. da industry is kinda changin now tho cuz dey got producers goin fo da crown.

How can yall say that Kanye West is the leader? That kid can make beats but cant rap for shit. MOP is the leader.
