yes i do think there is a difference between hip hop and gangsta rap but that doesnt mean ppl cant post whatever they want,cause thats why this forum was made...but on the subject brother ali is way underrated in my opinion...i still bump all his shit on a regular basis,from rites of passage,and shadows on the sun,and even though champion is only like 10 tracks they are all solid...even though he is one of my favorites,dont think i can say he is the hottest out there,alot of ppl brining heat in underground hip hop
