Sean Bell Verdict Reaction
On the heels of the controversial Sean Bell verdict which acquitted the three police officers who shot and killed him, the forum is discussing the judge's decision.
TheTruth87 said "Mike Vick got 7 years for killing dogs. Black Men are in the streets dying like dogs everyday. Justice?"

Grand Opening
Pitting 50 Cent against DMX, the forum is asking which one of the thug rappers delivered the hotter debut album, It's Dark and Hell is Hot or 50's Get Rich or Die Tryin'?
Westside36, said "I don't like a lot of beats DMX raps over. Besides Ruff Ryders anthem, the album was arse."
Meanwhile, therealpapa sided with DMX, saying, "I got X by less than a micrometer, just because his album was better explained and a little more lyrical."
Which album was your favorite? Vote here.
I Am Legend
Ice Cube and Scarface are two of the biggest names to hail from California and Texas respectively. SOHH forum users are asking which of the two icons is nicer?
Sunzoo aka LC went with Ice Cube, saying, "They are just about dead even, but Cube's delivery/technical ability gives him the slight nod."
Jadan the Magishan said, "As far as personal preference, I enjoy listening to Scarface more so than Ice Cube but I think Ice Cube (considering he was a huge part of NWA) has had a much greater impact on the rap game than Scarface has."
Pop203 said, "Cube in his prime is top 5 ever and his catalogue is excellent but as of right now I'd say Face is nicer."
Which emcee gets your vote?
The Worst Rapper of All Time
Maybe 50 got rid of the wrong guy. Young Buck was recently booted out of the G-Unit camp but he's not the artist topping Yahoo's list of worst rappers of all time. That title instead went to Tony Yayo. Other rappers making the list include Will Smith, Bubba Sparxxx and Diddy.
Paperchaser211 said, "This list is trash. Immortal Technique should've definitely made the list and there's about 100 Wu-Tang affiliates that are worse also. Will Smith? They got to be joking."
Bigbruhbruh added, "MC Hammer is not the worst rapper of all time but I do agree with Nelly making the list. I heard his new single and Fergie killed him on his own joint. Nelly sucks."
Who do you think deserved to make the list? Speak on it here.
