Big Willie

Before I download, quick question; is this a new mix or the mixtape Soul Heaven released in 2004?

AJ, like I said at the begining of all this when you complained about the system. It's to find the single best rapper. Not the top ten. Taking Rakim as an example, if he is truly the best rapper of all time, whether it be up against FP, or Lil Wayne, he would win the round. If an artist like Lil Wayne was to adavnce further than FP, it doesnt mean Wayne is a better emcee, it just means he maybe didnt face as tough competition. Just because a dope emcee got knocked out in the first round, doesnt mean they are'nt the second best rapper of all time. You're argument is pretty fluid when the idea of the vote was to find the singular best rapper ever, because regardless of how the voting system works, the same winner would still emerge.

Beats are nice, Bart. I like the old skool style to it, while still being able to feel the new skool era. The vocal was a little weak for me. Flow was off and there was no energy, you kinda sounded like you was just reading the lryics and not actually performing the song. You have to perform just as much with just a mic, as you would if it was a live audience. But, I get the feeling the production is what ya focused on, and the spittin is just a chick on the side, and the production is good, keep at it bro.

Gotta get this, love Guitar Hero World Tour. October is gonna be expensive; NBA Europe in London, Fifa 10(?), DJ Hero. Better get saving them pennies.

Cash Money & Marvelous

Kurtis Blow, Bambaataa etc... arguably had the largest impact on hip hop, because they brought the culture to the forefront of music. Could Kurtis run with Pac lyrically, not in a million years. I dont really think Pac touched anymore subjects than anyone else did. It just seemed more natural because you know he lived the lifestyle, or even if he didnt, it was easy to believe he could have. I think FP has touched just as many subjects over the course of his career, but the perception of him is different, most see/saw him as a rich kid making music. So I think the impact is more about how you are percieved, more than what you actually did.

Cheers in advance mate.

Happy B-day Julie

Any chance of an upload, Tim?

Something tells me people have been voting for favourites and not by the criteria.

One step closer to what will be percieved as the most bias vote in online history.

J5 and MJ without doubt for me. MJ's catalogue of work is still inspiring artists today, regardless of the genre. He revolutionised every aspect of music; Through verse, beats, dance, performance, video... there has never been and will probably never be an equal. Which is why his music will live forever. But for me, it goes far beyond their music. They broke down boundaries of race and made it possible for black people to dominate public interest for their talent. Moonwalk In Peace, MJ!

Yeah, pretty much, just slightly different versions of some tracks. The "Special Announcement" isnt on the original version though.

Wow, that swing monitor is amazing. Wish I had one of those to help with my game.

Ditto! I've got the Vinyl single too. Great track.

Its a German Import. I dunno how many were made, but that is the one and only I've seen.

Yesking feat Mystro - One of Those Days

Errrr..... Hate to be the one to break this to you but Will actually says "Yo Homes To Bel-Air" Haha, love it. "Elementary, my dear Holmes" ^ Would be more funny if Ale hadnt already posted the original quote. On the actual topic. Imagine discovering FPOBA for the first time now. It'll only get better Sherlock.

Keep hope alive...

Buying the album is always a good way of getting hold of the tracks on it.

Voted! FP'll probably win this one as well. If he ends up winning the entire thing, personally, I think its been a pretty pointless exercise. Just saying.

CD arrived yesterday. Cant stop playing Feel The Joy. The KonTempt remix is fiyah too!

Michael Jackson - Speechless

Haha, Will's in the semis. No-one is ever gonna believe this vote was unbias LOL

Thats the article Ataraxia wrote and posted before. Great read.
