I hate Jay-Z less now than I did 5-10 years ago. But I still don't like him beyond being an excellent business man with an awesome sense of self and style.

MOnie definitely has definitely bounced between rapper and emcee compared to Roxanne Shante who is all mc. I agree with the Jay-Z comment. From that era, Nas would be the MC.
