1st off, thanks for pointing out the site will censor for U. Now I won't have to count. But anyway, This rhyme is real cool. The 1st verse was good enuff for an Introduction. 2nd verse was a good follow up.

Some Words is rights. "Im toxic like Britney spears Toxic like too many beers" - I know your just starting but I'd change the 2nd line to 'Leave U intoxicated like too many beers'. "I got twice the flavor like double mint gum" - that was a cute lil line. "Before this I would be like “what to do” Sitting in my basement playing ps2" - Lines that really brought out how such a song would come about. As long as ya havin' fun wit it, I see no problems.

Did a little something that probably every male and an occasional number of females is guilty of (if U can call it a crime). I call it a justification. Most any "-tion" would fit. :haha: I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.

Hip-Hop has been going strong for quite some time now. "It ain't gonna last." our parents would say. But here we are and there it is. Around us so much it is almost ridiculous. Hip-Hop has been from the dark area concrete streets to a tall fully lighted building with leather seats. It's been raw and real to fake appeal. It's been drama, it's been comical, it's been recognized, it's been dissed. Most of us know Hip-Hop's beginnings enuff to the point to respect it and understand it. So now, I ask of those of us who rap, MC, entertain, whatever U wanna call it; let's see your beginnings. I thought we could have fun discussions wit some old rhymes. Maybe U haven't started very long, it's still nice to look back. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So now, I'd like to show my very 1st rhyme I ever wrote. Just one day in the summer I did it. I was listenin' to "Hit em High" and LL's part 'I make ya break ya ankles son, shake ya down' inspired my 1st song. I wrote a so-not-me intro then wrote the rhyme later. While writing this rhyme on whatever days, I think Diddy's 'Saga Continues' album gave me some ideas wit flow. I only have the typed version now... Broken Ankles Sept. 15, 2001 - Oct. 18, 2001 (finished earlier) I broke ya ankles Shook ya to the ground on ya knees There you are beggin' me no more please I got this n**** right where I want him on the ground When his face hit the pavement there wasn't even a sound I been ballin' since the age of 3 Y'all n****s should know, not to mess wit me And I control my game and how it's goin be Everybody is jealous of me I'm on top All them n****s got envy Will this s*** ever stop? (Echo) No... CHORUS Broken Ankles I'm bout to shake U down On my command, you'll fall to the ground Broken Ankles I hear a ccrrrack Oh man, what the hell was that? This is my game; my game, my game Can't take anything from my fame But you can be prepared So you don't be a scared I'm a tell ya what I'm bout to do So you can speak international for all them who think they can beat me Let's see... oui (means 'yes' in french) My handles can be as quick as a germ as slow as a worm My shots so hot they give the net a perm My hands, are as fast as lightning Everytime I play D it's frightening You don't know what I'm goin do or how or if I'm school you But after I do I rule you CHORUS May not be at my best all the time That's true But I can damn sure kick a rhyme That's true Matter fact, whatcha goin do Should I be a selfish n**** like you? Like Kurt Angle said It's true, it's true I rather be a me than a sorry you Rock Carolina every time I'm ballin' Sing Alicia Keys every time I'm fallin' Yo that flow was off the heasy After a while This s*** gets easy CHORUS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - So whatcha ya think? Do U have a flashback rhyme U'd like to share?

Mobb Deep's 'The Infamous' album

Someone who can't go a day without mention KRS-One or LL Cool J. But it's all good.

Sometimes U get so many more views becuz people like to see what others say.

-Jeffrey Jordan needs no introduction at the Nike All-America Camp in Indianapolis. The contagious smile, penetrating stare and determined look on his boyish 16-year-old face resemble the features of his world-famous father, Michael, and offer proof that Jeffrey is the true heir to the Air Jordan legacy. AJ Mast/Associated Press Jeffrey Jordan, the 16-year-old son of Michael Jordan, played at the Nike All-America Camp in Indianapolis last week. If there was any doubt about the lineage, he wears it proudly on the front of his T-shirt: J-O-R-D-A-N. But Jordan has come to Indianapolis to prove one thing - that he, too, can play basketball. "I want to show that I belong here," he said. "I guess I'm not the top one or two or three or four players in my state, but I want to show that I can play here and that I'm not just a name." For Jordan, who will be a junior at Loyola Academy College Prep near Chicago, that will be a challenge. His father is considered by many to be the greatest player in National Basketball Association history after leading the Chicago Bulls to six titles and filling the highlight reels with breathtaking dunks. It was also Michael Jordan who turned Nike from a budding shoe company into a worldwide giant. Following in those footsteps could intimidate most kids. Not Jeffrey, an all-conference selection as a sophomore. "To me, he's just my dad," Jordan said. Jordan realizes he's different. He stands just 6 feet - six inches shorter than his dad - weighs 170 pounds, and still remembers the times he attended Bulls practices as a child and watched his father play with an unforgettable fierceness. Already, Jordan is under scrutiny. As Michael Jordan's son, expectations are higher than normal, reporters are already asking about his vertical jump and it's virtually impossible to hide even when he's playing with 120 of the top prep players in the world. "That's the greatest basketball player's son," said Jai Lucas, Jordan's roommate this week. Just two days into the weeklong camp, Jordan has already become the camp's darling. Everywhere he goes, fans and reporters follow, hoping to get a sneak peek at the younger Jordan and glean any clue they can about whether he can someday approach his father's greatness. Being in the spotlight hardly fazes Jordan. Dealing with dozens of reporters, a rare occurrence for someone not ranked among the best of the 2007 class, he answered questions like a pro - laughing, smiling, joking and telling stories while deftly avoiding the temptation to give away any family secrets. Yet Jordan, who has some Division I programs showing interest in him, is intent on carving out his own niche. His number, 32, is a reversal of his father's more familiar 23. He turned down an invitation to attend last year's Nike camp because he didn't think he was ready and, this year, Jordan hopes to use the camp as his coming out party. He glides smoothly without the ball, looking for a chance to put his father's advice about playing fundamentally sound to work. But he may never avoid the questions. "The most common question? Well, that would be whether I was in 'Space Jam,' " he said, referring to the animated film starring his father and several Looney Tunes characters. "I wasn't. The next most common question from kids is whether I live in a big house. I tell them, 'Well, yeah,' and they're like 'Oh man, I wish I could be you.' " Jordan has no choice although there certainly are times he would rather just be one of the guys. This camp at least gives him a chance. Lucas is the son of the former N.B.A. player and coach John Lucas. Jonnie West is the son of the Hall of Famer Jerry West and sons of other former players, like Patrick Ewing Jr., have preceded him at the Nike camp. But wherever Jordan goes, he still has the target on his back. "Everybody wants to dunk on him because he's his son," said Matthew Bryan-Amaning, a 6-foot-9 English player who grew up watching Jordan's father. "But you don't really think that way when you're playing. You just want to play your best basketball." Jordan even acknowledged there have been times he has felt opponents have wanted to "take him out" so they could brag about it to their friends. Off the court, though, Jordan talked about a family life that seems about as regular as most father-son relationships. There are regular debates about the new minimum age limit for the N.B.A. draft - Michael, who made Kwame Brown the first prep player ever chosen No. 1, supports it; Jeffrey resents it. And then there are the one-on-one contests, which Jeffrey said have become less frequent as his father ages. "Sometimes he let me beat him, other times he would just try to block my shots," he said. "I beat him once, but he's getting older now, so maybe I could beat him." But Jordan insists it was always his decision to play basketball, though his father did shield him from playing on the national level at an early age. These days, they chat about what works about his game, what doesn't work and what it will take for him to succeed at the next level. But wherever Jeffrey Jordan ends up, he knows this: He will never escape his father's image. "I'm as competitive as he is, I'm just quieter about it," he said. "But that's my dad and it's pretty easy talking about him." Source: NY Times ------------------------------------------------- I was flippin thru channels one late morning and I saw a segment on him on ESPN. I thought it was a kid's whose last name was Jordan and had some hype around him. Then I learned that was MJ's son. When asked his rating, he gave himself a C. I would really like to see this go thru right. I hope there isn't so much press or pressure on him that it gets to his game (if in fact he's good enuff). I hope people don't give him a pass for being who he is either. From the looks of it, I think he knows that.

Montell Jordan - Get It On Tonite

I just had a thought. Did we ever learn Arnold's last name?

I remember every single one of those. Those were the days. :shakehead:

Double vocal could just be u rappin it again wit a slight difference in tone. Will does it. 2pac for sure also. Party Starter is the quickest song I can think of that has bit of it.

I said "FuQ" (few-k). U must not of heard the "ka' well enuff. I can see how U mistaked it like that tho.

I was just at your page yesterday checkin out some of ya old stuff. Guess I shoulda waited. But anyway, I heard that megamix already. Matter fact I have it. My favorite part was when the Luniz came in. "Adore You" - It's nice joint. The lyrics is real cool. I think U could deliver better tho, like make certain words or lines stick out. Maybe even double vocal. I honestly didn't really like the overall flow of the song. There were spots that fit and then some that didn't. Probably cuz of the length each line had. I always have trouble with this when rappin' a new song that goes perfect wit a beat, but I'll have a line or two that just isn't rhythmically correct and I have to adjust how and when I say it. Even if a lyric seems to perfectly fit, try to vary a lil bit just for the fun of it. U might come out with better results that U like. (and I mean doing this before U record. maybe just havin fun practicin' rhymes to beats) I must say, 'The First Coming' is coming together nicely.

A lot of points of truth hit in that interview. Chuck is very smart. He's one of the many faces that's gonna be the on strong verge in readjusting Hip-Hop.

Tinus aka fan4ever - Why Girl

Some people debate that. One girl in my music class last year said "Anyone who really understood Nirvana, knows he didn't kill himself" (or something along those lines)

I had seen this. Wasn't really that big of a deal. Ashton could've done better than that.

Say man, I know that ain't off an album. What's up wit that track, and what's it about?

Whoa there. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. :haha: But I just got an idea. We need to get a new tv music station that airs underground hip hop videos and such.

Well, I'm not a true Nirvana "fan", but I like quite a bit of their music. Of course the 1st song I heard was "Smells Like Teen Spirit". I later got their "Unplugged". I figured that was the best way to hear em. I like the cd cuz I can away like I never could before. So I can say I respect Nirvana and their music. Since I like a lil rock/pop or however they categorize it, it's only fitting.

Rakim - The 18th Letter album I finally got it. Yyyeeeeaaaahhhh bbbooooooyyyyyy!

Well, word of advice DJ, get the people ready for "Party Starter". :dj:

Yep. Saw the commercial 2 days ago. More promotion for Will. Once the NOW people hear "Party Starter", they'll say ":hmm: Maybe we should have waited for 'Party Starter'?"

"get yo weight up". No, I'm afraid I don't. Perhaps it's like picking up yourself, gettin your head up; that kind of thing. btw, I noticed ya from PA. I am too man. Washington. Welcome to the forum.
