Lou bez has it pretty on point. Stat was an attempt to capitalize their disadvantage in the south movement, I aint heard a stat record that got me excited, ever. Same with everyone else, they have a really good image but the music doesnt stack up.
I remember checking out his Mus. but dont remember anything about it. A-math is hurtin right now, if you arent one of the 3 big artists you arent really any sort of priority. I'm glad they are releasing the artists atleast tho.
LL had a better machine behind him, Canibus had an Ill ryhme book. Canibus won the battle bar for bar, but LL came good enough to let the money get him through.
