		<description>&quot;@ aron

Jay moves UNITsâ€¦ that&#039;s why he aint on that listâ€¦. I guess you missed that point of the articleâ€¦&quot;

I wasn&#039;t really addressing the article, just the lack of creativity which was being talked about...

&quot;The Clipse do rap about the shit all the time, but i think that their lyrical skill keeps them fresh.&quot;

So Jay does move units, but he doesn&#039;t move his mind.</description>

		<description>&quot;... the sense of hustler&#039;s remorse was replaced with a kingpin&#039;s arrogance.&quot;

That &#039;s one of the best lines I&#039;ve ever read,... on any blog. Damn, great article! Refreshing to see substance behind any argument/opinion, especially in the great blogosphere. 

... as an aside to that line:  I think this hustler&#039;s duality was best embodied by Biggie.  I think he&#039;s the only one that was ever able to &#039;pull-off&#039; both &quot;the sense of hustler&#039;s remorse&quot; and &quot;kingpin&#039;s arrogance&quot; in his career, some albums, and even within some of his songs themselves.</description>
