Here’s why Kanye is LOST, Snoop Dogg is Law & Order and Nas is Breaking Bad

#TheWire :: Jay :: #BreakingBad :: Nas. Come at me, bro.

I liken Jay to #TheWire because in terms of what he's accomplished as a whole throughout his career, dude really is the Greatest.

If Jay's #TheWire and Nas is #BreakingBad, Rakim is #TheSopranos. He laid the foundation and all the greats are standing on his shoulders.

"Oz" is 50 Cent; a gritty show with a great premise whose downfall was due to a focus on sensationalism over content. RT @QG5000 what's Oz?

#MadMen is Eminem: Technically FLAWLESS, but I can only listen to the existential angst of rich white men for a short while.

#SonsOfAnarchy is Rick Ross: An over the top, completely unbelievable spectacle that still managed to triumph in spite of itself.

— Phonte (@phontigallo) October 1, 2013

#Entourage is YMCMB: An entertaining and lovable cast of characters that yields pleasing, yet ultimately forgettable results.

#HouseOfCards is Kendrick Lamar: An excellent newcomer that put EVERYBODY on their ass and has a lot to live up to come season 2.

#TheNewsroom is Lupe: A technically brilliant show that would be a lot smarter if it stopped trying to show people how smart it is.

#EastboundAndDown is Action Bronson: Completely irreverent, fearless, and gives no fucks whatsoever. You either love him or hate him.

— Phonte (@phontigallo) October 1, 2013

#SouthCentral is Tupac: An edgy show with a talented cast whose legend was made larger due to early cancellation.

— Phonte (@phontigallo) October 1, 2013

#Lost is Kanye: An unorthodox story that became an unlikely cultural phenomenon and just got weirder and more ridiculous with each season.

— Phonte (@phontigallo) October 1, 2013

#TheSimpsons are The Roots: Constantly and quietly killing shit for over 20 years and on the way to becoming an American institution.

— Phonte (@phontigallo) October 1, 2013

#ArrestedDevelopment is Phonte: A critical fave with a cult following that got pulled by a major, but came back indie and got his bread. lol

— Phonte (@phontigallo) October 1, 2013

#TheCosbyShow is A Tribe Called Quest: The pioneer who showed America there was a viable market in the portrayal of Black middle class life.

— Phonte (@phontigallo) October 1, 2013

#HowToMakeItInAmerica is Biggie: A promising show that was cut short after two seasons just as it was starting to find its voice.

— Phonte (@phontigallo) October 1, 2013

#LawAndOrder is Snoop Dogg: Same formula for over 20 years, but it's a show where your whole family knows at least ONE episode by heart.

#BoardwalkEmpire is T.I.: A notable contender with all the right ingredients but lacks that one intangible to place it amongst the greats.
