Here's an up-and-coming rapper out of St. Louis, Missouri. Hot song. The lyrics and music are funny and interesting. The song seems to have a West Coast rap meets Cee Lo Green flair it. His tatted look and size make you think of Rick Ross and his entourage seems interesting too.
With 74% of the vote, Rick Ross wins the "With All Things Considered" poll.
FYI: I finally watched the movie "Notorious", a biopic about Biggie aka Christopher Wallace, on B.E.T. While the movie wasn't an Oscar winner, it was very revealing to say the least; and it's sad how a few words and suspicions can lead to senseless deaths.
With all things considered between these two large hip hop legends....who adds up with looks, music, flow, sex appeal, style etc.. Who is easier on the eyes? Who is sexier? Take the poll.
The video is quick. The rap is cool and smooth. And Rick is trying to project some sex appeal as he always does. I think Rick is one of the most comfortable big rappers EVER when it comes to taking off his clothes.

Above is the infamous'Beanie Sigel is gay- PROOF' video. An intriguing video in case you haven't seen it before. Check it out from beginning to end.
Philadelphia-bred rapperBeanie Sigel, in the yellow headband (go figure!), gets frisky with a fellow freestyling rapper. Notice how Sigel hugs, stares down and appears to want to kiss the rapper. The rapper looks a little annoyed, but holds his composure even after Sigel blows him cigarette smoke in his face.
Anyway, I sure would like to see this twosome in action!

He later formed the Boyz with high-school friends DJ Eddie F (born Eddie Ferrell), Trouble T-Roy (born Troy Dixon), and G-Wiz (born Glen Parrish). Their demo tape found its way to Def Jam executive Andre Harrell, who was in the process of forming his own label, Uptown. Harrell made Heavy D & the Boyz the first artists signed to Uptown in 1986, and they released their debut album, Living Large, in 1987.
The singles "Mr. Big Stuff" and "The Overweight Lover's in the House" established Heavy D's image among rap fans. In 2005, Heavy D had lost 160 pounds so that he could elevate his acting career.
