PrintThis is as bad as offseason-filler gets. Bengie Molina is Rick Ross.
- The first similarity should be pretty obvious.
- Both have based entire careers on impersonating someone with the same name.
- Both have seemed talented in the past, but only by comparison to their supporting cast:

That’s pretty good. But Molina will never approach Officer Ricky’s fail level. Rawce should’ve retired when those photos leaked.
That is some belly!
But I bet Benji has it beat. I wonder if Kung-Fu Panda will lose weight with Benji gone?
Asking a General Manager to slim down his budget is like asking an alcoholic to blow up a distillery.

He'll probably gain weight.
Less competition at the training table, y’know?

Mike Cameron is Rakim.
Totally underappreciated, but as good as anyone else out there.

Disagree
Rakim is the GOAT so he has to be Holliday. Maybe Kool G Rap for Cameron. Dude is great and underrated.
The Mets lobby Omar for a plan, and his plan, he likes his plan. The problem is that he didn't write his plan down 'cause that makes it paperwork, and that’s false hustle... Know what I’m sayin’?
Much in the same way we talk about MSM and advanced stats
the same can be said of the media and rap. For heads, Rakim, KRS, Kool G Rap, etc are all classic, great rappers, but in the mainstream, they’re just old guys who suck compared to Lil Wayne.

Oh
and as much as Lil Wayne inspires a great big “meh” from me, he’s worlds above everyone else on that list. My gosh.

When Pun wrote Fat Joe's rhymes
he was decent.

Me neither
But he’s passable on some Big Pun, Big L, and DITC songs.

Kind of disagree,
I enjoy Lil Wayne for his original rhymes and lyrics, though admitdly weak at times, as he refuses to just go with the popular cliched ganster rap. And his beats are usually really good, like tough to think of new, contempoary artists with better ones good. Really what cemented it for me was when Tha Carter III came out and 50 was on Hot 97 complaining that the album was garbage and he couldn’t understand how it was #1.
As for the list, I’ve always been a big T-Pain fan. Generally, if you’re a fan of Aqua Teen, I’m a fan of you, so T Pain had that going for him. He’s has a good sense of humor and his songs are honest which is important for me as I absolutely hate male R&B songs that are more akin to lies and cheap pick up lines. T Pain’s Tipsy and Show U How off his Epiphany album are examples of more sincere R&B that I can dig.
the number one issue facing the Mets is finding that one guy who’s going to say "get on my shoulders and ride me to the championship."

although lil wayne is better than most of the garbage out there, he’s still pretty bad IMO. Nas still rules hip hop. Lupe is one of the few good newcomers. I miss guys from the early part of the decade (last decade): Big L, Pun, OneManArmy, Dead Prez, gangstarr. I guess there’s no place for originality and skill anymore.

Tha Carter III was one of the worst pieces of garbaged I ever heard.
Wayne is an unbelievably bad rapper. Weak, nonsensical rhymes, horrible voice, no flow, I have no idea how he became so popular.

he's, uh, weezy.
no, seriously. he smoked a good deal of weed. that, and he shot himself with a .44 calibur gun.

wait a sec
if I sell drugs for the CIA, I can gross $3,000,000 a DAY?
I knew grad school was a waste of time.
Hitting 25 and 85 what?
I’m guessing this means 25 buffet tables before each home game and 85 different restaurants on each road trip.
Anyone else have any theories?

You guys are being too hard on Ross and Jeezy.
They both can put out some really good lyrics, when they try. Unfortunately, in this era, catchy tracks sell more than good lyrics. I mean, look at what Snoop Dogg and Busta Rhymes are putting out these days. I would say that the top rappers out right now are Nas, Jay-Z, Jadakiss, Eminem, Papoose, Talib Kweli, Kanye West, and Common. The second tier of rappers IMO consists of Ludacris, Young Jeezy, Rick Ross, and Drake. If you want to know who the truly bad rappers are; look no further than guys like Maino, Diddy, T-Pain, and Gucci Mane.
Yabbut
Does T-Pain even count as a rapper?
by LeiterMilnerFasterStronger on Jan 5, 2010 8:52 PM EST up reply actions
Top Rappers?
Papoose, Jadakiss, Kanye and Jay-Z don’t even belong in the same paragraph as Nas, Em, Kweli and Common, the latter are infinitely better. I puit Jeezy, Jay-Z, Ross, and Drake in there with Maino, Diddy, and Gucci.

Yeah, sorry
Jay-Z is one of the G.O.A.T. That’s pretty indisputable. You may not like him, but you’re deluding yourself by even suggesting that he belongs with the others you listed.
Well
It’s easy to be considered great when everything you did is stolen from someone better, and I have to assume he lived off ghostwriters for the non stolen rhymes. The guy claims to never write anything down, yet if you listen to some of his earlier freestyles he can’t string anything coherent together and mumbles every other line. He’s the biggest biter of all time and a hack. He is terrible in every sense of the word. I’m not much a Biggie fan (liked Ready to Die, hated Life After Death), but I recognize him as one of the greats. Jay had one passable album with Reasonable Doubt and garbage after that. The original Blueprint is one of the worst albums of all time. Renegade was a great song, two of Em’s best verses and him and Royce da 5’9’s verse were pretty damn good as well. Renagade, jigga can’t even spell renegade right, almost ruined a great beat and chemistry between two great rappers. His verses pale in comparison to Em’s and Royce’s original. The only other song I can listen to on that album is The Ruler’s Back which is only cause he took so much from Slick Rick original classic.

Please take Papoose off that list
For the love of everything that is holy. The guy never even made an album. And he was never even very good to be begin with. Having him up there with everyone else in the “top tier” makes me nauseous.
Also, Ludacris and Drake are each about 100x better than Jeezy and Ross. Really not the same category.
This is pretty funny...
but obviously Yadier came around 6 years after Bengie and has never put up power numbers like Bengie. This year was his first OPS+ of at least 100 and it was 100; Bengie has had 1 year at 100 and another at 108, so he is not much better offensively – just a few more homers each year.
I wonder who wins a foot race – probably Rick Ross if a fatty is at the finish line haha
but how could bengie be in the race and waiting at the finish line at the same time?

Too bad Jason Marquis signed...
He could have been Matisyahu!
What about The High & Mighty?
Who could forget this dope rhyme:
“My unexpectedness is like the ’69 Mets
My 69 wets all the Penthouse Pets”
and this:
“We the future like Reyes and David Wright on Fireworks Night”
Plus, Mr. Eon is hip-hop’s Cleon Jones. He said it himself.
(P.S. Funny thing is, they’re from Philly)
Beer is good! And stuff!
This entire thread
has gone over my head
Because my view of rap
Is that it’s generally crap

i should flag this, not because your opinion is offensive,
but because it’s inhumane to subject anyone else to that verse/poem.
"We have a plan, and our plan, I like our plan'
it's Omar's world, we're just livin in it.
what do you like, then?
i’ll generally except any other genre, but if you say heavy metal, your credibility went out the window in my mind, haha

and of course by "except" i meant "accept". naturally.
"I dunno. I never smoked any Astroturf"
-Tug McGraw
Why?
I’m a pretty big fan of Metal, specifically Prog-Metal and, of course, Troll Metal, and Pirate Metal.
the number one issue facing the Mets is finding that one guy who’s going to say "get on my shoulders and ride me to the championship."
