        I found that gold isn't as important in the beginning. -- nm - Krusty Mar 12, 09:32 1

  - [deleted]
- You really are my brother from a different mother. -- nm - Spawn Mar 12, 08:42
- OK, ready, I am going to partially agree with you. Ready? - TFox Mar 12, 08:40 19

    - Biggie is the Nirvana of rap. Jay-Z is the Pearl Jam of rap. Discussify. -- nm - TFox Mar 12, 09:00 3
      - There's one major reason that Biggie isn't Nirvana. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 12, 09:27 1
        
        word -- nm - Spawn Mar 12, 09:31
      - Actually...this is the perfect analogy. Seriously. -- nm - Jim Mar 12, 09:03
  - I agree with this 100%. -- nm - Krusty Mar 12, 08:44 12
    - I still think Kid n' Play should of been on the list instead of Will. I'm gonna put a list of better rap acts than he - CQ Mar 12, 08:53 11
      - Gangstarr, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Das Efx, Jeru Da Damaja, Kool G. Rap, Redman and The Beatnuts to name some more. -- nm - Krusty Mar 12, 08:58 10
        
        But neither of you can argue with the influence that Will had on the genre. The Fresh Prince played a pretty good role in - Jim Mar 12, 09:00 9
        
        Sure but he's not a better rapper or rap act than Biggie, imo. - Krusty Mar 12, 09:16
        
        No, I can not. And I get why it was close, especially given that the votes are not exclusively "hottest mic skills", which was intentional. - TFox Mar 12, 09:03 7
        
        I was referring to Will's inclusion over a lot of krusty and CQs suggestions. - Jim Mar 12, 09:04 6
        
        which is cool. I think it just makes for great debate :) -- nm - CQ Mar 12, 09:09 2
        
        Now I want to make a bracket that includes acts that aren't "mainstream" rappers. Who other ballgame. -- nm - Krusty Mar 12, 09:20 1
        
        Who = whole -- nm - Krusty Mar 12, 09:21
        
        Oh, any question about the legitimacy of Will's inclusion were squashed when he beat Big. End of story. - TFox Mar 12, 09:07 2
        
        I disagree with it validating his inclusion. - Krusty Mar 12, 09:18
        
        Oh...and I will say this...I considered not voting for "Will Smith" because as Will Smith, he's just been another dude. - Jim Mar 12, 09:13
  - *collapses in on itself. partially* -- nm - Universe Mar 12, 08:42
Uh oh, Will. How long of a drive is Delaware for you? -- (link) - TFox Mar 12, 08:33 9

- I saw that already. It's about ..... 2.5 hours to drive? Maybe 3 to get to Delaware Park? - Will Hunting Mar 12, 08:36 6
  - I bet you can not make it there in under 3:12:50. -- nm - Spawn Mar 12, 08:41 5
    - Given the right traffic, that's easy. - Will Hunting Mar 12, 08:42 4
      - I was just looking to legal gamble. -- nm - Spawn Mar 12, 08:47 1
        
        Rumors are the race-track in WV is getting ready to add table games so that's only 30minutes away. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 12, 08:48
      - Oh, never mind....it's only about 120miles from my home to Delaware Park.....2 hours at the normal speed - Will Hunting Mar 12, 08:45 1
        
        Let's go! -- nm - kelly Mar 12, 08:56

    - What do the victims deserve? -- nm - TaurusII Mar 12, 08:50 1
      - Recognition of the wrongs done to them by the institution, criminal prosecution of the perpetrators, compensation in some constructive form, etc - Roger More Mar 12, 09:07
