Yeah lyrics are the most important thing when it comes to being a great rapper!

Well I don't agree with everything Eminem does but he's definately a respected rapper in hip hop, but what you gotta understand that what Will said back then about gangsta rap was not aimed at every rapper, only at ones who don't put messages in their songs and ain't creative, there was a lot of 'em like that back then and especially more of them now who are fake rappers, Eminem's a more real rapper than most that get airplay, I'm with AJ here about how deep down I don't think Eminem was offended either by what Will said he just fed into the controversey to get his album to sell more, the reason why I truely feel that he wasn't offended by that either was 'cause he was creative with his music early in his career and what he said on "Real Slim Shady" was done in a witty way as well, if you listen to the song he's poking fun at himself too, the song wasn't meant to be taken seriously...

Nas "Black President"

So JJFP is dead just 'cause Jeff does a show with Eminem in 2009? This ain't 2000 anymore, like AJ said Eminem's trying to get his credability back, I don't see nothing wrong with it, we're basically dragging this out more than it should be, time to move on

Kel Spencer feat. Lydia Caesar "Lord Give Em Some Help"

Yeah I'd like to know where that Eminem quote came from, when it comes down to it I think it's time to let bygones be bygones, we're talking 9/10 years ago here now, Will and Eminem moved on obviously

What a diverse list of rappers!!

What's up y'all I know it's been awhile since I shared some of the rhymes I've been writing but I wanted to let y'all know that I'm still doin' it well, enjoy: March 17, 2009 Verse: I realise how life could go change in an instance I don't walk around giving up in this buisiness Many thought I'd die off but they're the ones jumpin' off cliffs When they're lying soft from their ignorance No thought you could provide that'll make me give up my gift Throughout the moments of time I've learned my purpose Of living on this earth, going full circle to get back where I belong again My mind has remained elevated off of penetrating Losin' shine doesn't relate to the equation Many want to drop off in the middle of a relationship I understand the ways that this is I ain't making anyone my wife that tries to stab me with a knife The analogys you try to provide are nothing but blinded eyesight Whenever I rhyme it's more like having the guided light This is not the point of me wanting to pick up a fight I'm just trying to lead as many as possible down a path leading right That's the reason I'll continally write I'm now 24, can't be a child no more I've been noticing peers throwing their lives away A lot of y'all think it's ok to settle for second place But that's not in my thinking with thoughts higher than any ceiling Can't leave me strapped in for being misleading Any goal I set I won't rest until it's done I'm not saying it ain't all right to have fun But times are too critical to act all dumb And I feel sorry for anyone that chumps Themselves to lower level funds That's right some are getting buried in the dust By their actions and having less passion Get slept on like a mattress Without having a proper reaction Violations and lots of infractions Watch yourself before you start laughing 'Cause you'll be the one feeling the most damage You pay the price if you ain't nice Debt will get to your head if you tryin' to mess with someone's grind April 3, 2009 Verse: Getting these musicals copywritten Since many of these mcs have bitten Catching what you're chasing like a ball mitten Like a manuscript it's broken down into small sections It's important to shop around before you make selections Breaking down the law like various sheriffs Cooking up a storm like curious chefs A multimedia machine for them all like Will Smith records and flicks You're in the presence of a true legend in the building Any overhyped vision gets corrected with the righteous intention Many of them cowards that were disrespecting have been put to detention We see how they were conquered when the truth is mentioned Watch how I'm spazzing out on any verse, it's known as a given The facts come around to occur on the ways that I'm living This comes natural as breathing, mc'ing words in an instance I don't have to swear to come with a flair, this is a breath of fresh air You fall flat to disappear if you don't rap clear Getting emotional like an outpouring of tears Expresses that there's something meant into what we hear I'm being a true artist reppin' the garden state like my man Redman I know that there's no merit into what you're saying if you're a rapping dead man Making sure there's heart into everything is the correct plan That I continually follow, rather than being hollow When you're living foul that's a tough pill to swallow April 7, 2009 Verse: My name ain't James but I feel worthy enough Online with my game is the way I'm continually in touch I maintain on the claim to release so much Can't run out of things to say since I'm grown up It ain't always easy to meet up with someone to trust That's why I felt I had to keep certain things to myself And the main man up above, it's all about that spiritual love Having all the material in the world isn't gonna be enough To say that you have a stake of spiritual wealth Which is the most priceless thing in itself So many peeps are hard to please That's why I spend time alone on my knees To find some hope and righteous peace Never know when these days are gonna end It's hard to know who's really a friend When some just want to see you dead But I know in my heart that my soul will never end My spirit could never feel that debt It's a bigger high than being a crackhead Not knocking those that choose that route But I gotta let you know that's not what I'm about I used to feel low when the negative heads would doubt My character since I don't choose to live in a blur Not running around for no reason like they were I gotta plan things out before things start to occur See I refuse to be painted into a corner If you don't feel me don't waste time dialing my number Or sending out an email or mentioning me on twitter Or the other social networks, this is not about name dropping Or coming up with the highest stock tips Just to get on the supply of a profit I'm not trying to be known as a prophet I just say what's real to my heart I'm ok to dealing on a new start If the old ways were stalled, I'm not about to freefall I stand tall to walk, you won't see me crawl I don't really know what's real to y'all If you just want to hog the ball Getting away from a team concept Isn't the way you're gonna release stress Now I display a raw concept to see success April 30, 2009 Verse: Every second is meant to be known as a purpose That's why I stay on to live as I'm still searchin' No matter how many of y'all been hurting Each other I stay in as a peaceful brother I love to eat seafood like my mother Which I call mama who gave birth to the second version of Gracia The first is known as my papa, I give 'em the props they deserve I've been blessed with the intelligence like a surgeon as a master hip hoppa Never take it for granted when I'm jamming Bring the total package to those who're understanding The goal is to be going on as if I'm the last man standing It's like being a candidate that's running for office Except none of this is propaganda, I could kick it here at the East coast scene of 'Jersey Or take it down to the dirty south streets of Alabama, it's all about living in peace and serenity Bringing the outstanding gramma, with a sense of purity like having virginity See I ain't gonna stick with her if it just wasn't meant to be It takes something a bit more proper to be a member of my family tree You have to weather the storm, but a lot of times when it drizzles suckas wanna leave See you have to be above the norm to stand up to impress me Can't just bounce spot to spot acting brainless like a robot Referred to in the song by KRS ONE and Buckshot You have to possess something a bit more special To match the intellect of the NJRebel I'm not the one that'll just go to settle Down with any pretty eye chick if she ain't that righteous In the way she comes up to bring substance Don't roll with the average sucka if you wanna be known as “Mrs. International” It's worth more than something to be in the high presence caliber May 11, 2009 Verse: I'm about to put a dent into your deceiving plans Why do you doubt the merit in which I stand? Times go smooth before the end of a combined command The evil deeds I impeach while I reach I make it worth while more than the admission of a seat And those suckas wonder why they go to sit in defeat A part of the reason they're out of line is 'cause they're lazy The other part is they don't use any originality They don't put they're heart into the various things they scheme They must think that I should write 'em up a scene For them to convey as if this was some sort of a play No mercy on those viacom punks that let these lames in the game The mag covers are drippin' wack juice from these lagging rap crews MTV don't even play videos anymore, you gotta watch everything on youtube All the times they tried to blackball real artists is now they're downfall 'Cause the public has spoken y'all, we can't stand the watered down, needin' something uncut & raw Nas warned us all that "it's a new world", we're traveling the digital road All those wack flows ain't even worth a damn download It's now time for you to contemplate the way I've been commanding to go There's a legit reason I'm still mc'ing even though I choose to live on the down low Music is my autobiography and my main boo since it expresses many things I know I keep these intelligent thoughts flowing freely on the microphone I remain searching for the truth so the righteous could take the throne We need to have top notch leadership as we move towards our goals Many been struggling to keep up, we've all been dreaming about so much While most don't follow the path to achieve their tasks Then they go back to wonder why they've been surpassed, that's why I roll unlimited in the way I rap May 15, 2009 Verse: This is the clutch time to bring out the magic like Dwight Howard When you see what's on my mind you can't outlast my power Since the essence of the grind stands to combine in to devour I don't let bitterness set in, since I command to avoid finding sour Thoughts that you could find depressing, it's not the time for being a lying coward The stakes are too high, I use the de la soul mentality against casulaties Everyday many die so I know that being in peace has to be a reality I'm living to provide the soundtrack of mc'ing the mood of actualties The style is key to track the groove if you wanna hang with me When you release the right mood the conscience persists freely Whatever I type out is the igniting sound since these words are key It's a legit to write down the emotion in the state of being There's a reason for our existance as human beings Things could change in an instance through the things we're seeing But I know that there's a will to go on since I ain't a zombie When I hold on to somethin' so strong it ignites a flame in my memory The pain of the game through the veins letting the emotions bleed Pouring out all the stamina in slaying the amateurs Providing the hyped gramma to jam some more Keepin' the crowds packed there's more sound stacked I take a lot of pride in being black so there's no need to slide back Into a state of feeling slacked or rollin' sidetracked Moving forward away from the out of line and wack These thoughts are towards the ways that're designed exact Movin' to the hoop wit a powerful slam since I'm that overpowering man I'm able to stand on to compete, I'm capable as a man to complete The foundation like concrete since I'm commanding to boost heat

Well it's sorta bad timing since Eminem just put a new album out and Will hasn't put anything out in 4 years, the kids go with who's hot now unfortunately, a lot of these kids now just know Will as the box office king

Immortal Technique, Paris, Jean Grae, J-Live, and Abstract Rude are a few more dope mcs that come to mind, and yes I think we're pretty objective here on this board so we should keep Will on the list just to see what happens

When I tried clicking to read the Vibe Greatest Rapper Topic it closed

I pinned this thread 'cause this deserves some attention! Here's some more that shouldn't be forgotten: Big Boi(Outkast) Dr. Dre Coolio Norega Fabolous Warren G Joe Budden Vinnie(Naughty By Nature) Roxanne Chante MC Shan Lil' Kim

I was just listening to "So Fresh" and I realised that Slick Rick and Biz Markie weren't on the list yet so we gotta add 'em

Here's some more: Heavy D Aceyalone Rev. Run DMC Pep Love MC Hammer Wyclef Jean Casual Skillz Rhymefest Busta Rhymes Kel Spencer DMX Eve Left Eye Monie Love Speech from Arrested Development Kool Moe Dee Melle Mel from Furious Five MC Lyte

Yeah you can't argue against "Big Willie Style"'s promotion, it sold 10 million albums, and "Miami"'s definately one of those great songs to bump in the summer.

Hip Hop music is easily my favorite genre but I also enjoy listening to r&b and reggae, once in a while I might listen to some rock, pop, and jazz

Hey cookies, hope you enjoy your birthday and hope to see you posting here soon more often, peace
