Rosa Parks should be worrrying about other things than sueing rappers over a title of a song, I saw a special the other night on BET about how the older generation is bitter with what the younger generation is doing in hip-hop, this is another bitter example, they criticize us without even trying to relate to what we're saying. :confused3:

Well FP is sorta more of a storytellin'/comedic mc, Rakim's more known for makin' battle rhymes than he is anything else, Chuck D makes more political rhymes than anything else, LL is known most for makin' songs for women, everybody back then when they came out had their styles and they each respected each for that and the longevity makes them the legends they are, if they talk about how great they are they could back it up, but these days a lot of rappers just comin' out talk about being the greatest mcs ever and can't back it up, that's the way I look at it.

Sooner or later people'll get sick of Eminem, I don't think anyone'll want to keep on hear him say the same ol' s*** after awhile on his songs, he's washed up now and has nothin' new to offer anymore, he always tries to recycle the Marshall Mathers LP over and over but on the other hand FP's albums all have different themes to them, Larry Elder and Wendy Williams also deserve to lose their jobs, you shouldn't get paid to disrespect everyone like they do.

That's a nice rhyme there Lerkot, I get a good idea of what Swedish people think about hip-hop now, thanks for sharing that!

Damn that song never gets old, it's still the same, actually there's more gimmicks now than ever. btw, I got on Nas and Olu Dara "Bridgin' The Gap", at least one rapper gives props to the ol' school, too bad this track didn't get more support when it was out 'Bridgin' the gap from blues to rap The history of music on this track'

I don't know when it's comin' out but it's gonna be interesting hearin' Russell Simmons' producing again, with all the great things he does, peeps sometimes sleep on how much of a great producer he is with Rick Rubin, they produced a lot of Run-Dmc's biggest tracks and even a lot of LL's and PE's early stuff as well being the 1st big name producers in hip-hop, let's not forget that JJFP were signed to Rush Management early in their career too, I hope Rev. Run's album gets some good promotion now that he's on Def Jam, this is what hip-hop needs, peeps need to recognize who the real legends are. :poke:

Hip-hop mogul Simmons returns to Def Jam April 14, 2005 New York - Hip-hop pioneer and entrepreneur Russell Simmons announced his return to the music business on Wednesday, working with the rap label where he made his fortune. Simmons, who co-founded Def Jam Records two decades ago before selling it in 1999 for $100 million, will head up Russell Simmons Music Group. The label is a joint venture with Island Def Jam Records, created from the merger of Island Records and Def Jam. Since selling Def Jam, the 47-year-old New Yorker has branched into other areas such as fashion and beverages. "This is a tremendous blessing to come back to work at this company," Simmons said at a news conference. He admitted that he has not made records for "many, many years." He joked that he contributed some "shouting" on the new record by Reverend Run, half of the legendary rap duo Run-DMC and one of the artists on his new label. Simmons, considered a hip-hop pioneer, started Def Jam with Rick Rubin in Rubin's dorm room at New York University in 1984. Def Jam was the original home to some of the first mainstream rap stars: Run-DMC, the Beastie Boys and Public Enemy. Island Def Jam is part of the Universal Music Group, part of French media conglomerate Vivendi Universal . http://www.tonight.co.za./index.php?fArticleId=2482163

LL Cool J "Feel The Beat", I dream to write up those many punchlines, you can't battle Uncle L still :ali: :chuks: :ali: "Still keep the ink hot Still scheme like a fox Still ready to battle you don't want your career stopped"

Those lyrics are so righteous, I wish I could write rhymes like that, "Chosen One" is an even better name for the album although the last album was called "Born To Reign", this album's more fitting for that type of title, the last album should've been called "1000 Kisses" or "Give Me Tonite" 'cause it had a more mellow vibe.

How could you choose to have Lil' Kim and Eve over Wyclef and Michael Jackson collabos, that'd made "Willenium" an even bigger classic album. Actually the only ones that I'd be looking forward to hearin' from the unreleased tracks on "Lost and Found" would be the tracks with Jazzy Jeff, Timbaland, and Kanye West that didn't make the cut, the Petey Pablo tracks sound disposable and I'm sure FP came to his senses and felt that way too. It'd be also interestin' to hear any tracks he might've recorded with the legends he toured with back in the days, although collabs back then were rarities.

Aight Will Is Ill finally understands I got him buried in the quicksand You need lessons in writing down clever words before you contest again It's all love though, I'll let you live for a moment Just take notes in this class I'm conducting Let's see who's the next rookie the veteran's 'bout to rip at Well I see it's bagotrasho who claims to be on the winning track But what you don't realise though is I'm the coach so I'm cutting your minutes back Shooting at such low percentage you better go take those words back You ain't Dominique or Iverson, you need practice I'd reckon I got women beggin' me to give them all raw affection Reading my notebook makes them all excited 'Cause my hooks I wrote are greater than pick ups you could come up with After my performances they're all lining up for me to sign their breasts They must've mistaken me for the Fresh Prince 'Cause they're all wet like a stream when I'm gettin' jiggy wit it Like the ol' sayin' goes just diss the game not the player They're gonna be flyin' me out from 'Jersey to LA to play for the Lakers I'm tryin' to resurrect the game like a savior And at the same time I'll be stackin' paper I got the performances that'll make me glide past all haters My longevity in spittin' will be longer than Reggie Miller's time with the Pacers Once again I'll bust you Joe as well if you try to make another comeback later

Hey where on the page is it? I couldn't find it! Is the freestyle a recent one?

:werd: :hilarious:

Aight Will Is Ill I'm about to set things clear How could say that my rhymes are the worst? Son you should take some time to look in the mirror And you'll find that you're wearing a skirt If you don't then you must be blind as Stevie Wonder It's hard to deny the heat of this verse I've been on fire it seems since my birth I'm gonna get the money from the merit of my work And if you tryin' bustin' me you'll soon be lying in a Hearse In a minute you'll come cryin' and apologizing trying to put this beef in reverse When at the end of the day you'll realise that anyone not on my side'll soon be hurt While you're in need of a charity You're frontin' with no clarity What you're discussing only works in a nursery You sound no different than that crap we heard from 50 and Nelly When you listen to me it'll sound like the return of Makaveli It's my mission to excell in poetry I could bust a flow accapella or with a beat I was raised to tell the truth when I speak I don't bring no gimmicks, so I suggest that you come to respect me Or you'll be finished off, the result of bustin' soft on the mic'll only make you feel Like you was in a train wreck the next time you try to compete Let's face it you lost, you're now past tense like my last meal

Well as the ol' saying goes it's "sex, drugs, and rock'n' roll", if you watch Behind The Music for most artists VH1 does it for they talk about how child support, drug/alchohol addiction, and a lot of other things that resulted from the fast life slowed down or destroyed their lives/careers, money doesn't always mean happiness.

Yeah I don't get that either, being a fake gangsta rapper is being safe 'cause everybody does that nowadays, but there ain't too many who sound like Will, btw Doug Banks also works with Wendy Williams on that WBLS station, so I think that's why they're dissing Will.

Nice job Tim! :peace:

Yeah Ice-T's a smart man who has a lot of respect for all kinds of hip-hop, he's an open minded individual, I wouldn't call him a sell-out.

Where is it ranked on the hip-hop charts?

'Cause he is the king of rap ain't he?!! :ali: :chuks: :ali:

Actually it's basically doing the same pace "Big Willie Style" is 'cause it took almost 2 years on the charts to sell 9 million, it just needs to stay in the top 10 for awhile 'cause usually the highest sellin' album on the charts usually sells 400,000, this is a slow time for music right now, 50's album fading too, Mariah Carey'll probably overtake him since there's a lot of buzz over her album and she's sold over 100 million, but it looks like everyone's broke and has resulted to downloading. :kekeke:

I can't believe how many people slept on "One Love",even though it ain't their best album, it's still better than a lot of that watered down r&b out now but I wish they could make peace with Bobby Brown so they could have that extra edge again, I'm looking forward to seein' this.

Yeah battlin's a lot of fun, that's what makes hip-hop better than other music, I usually don't write too many battle songs anymore so it helps me work on my punchlines a lil' more.

That's nice! :afro:

Aight I have to admit That my last flow was a lil' average But now I'm back to roll like killer savage If you continue criticize my words I'll snatch your necklace I know your girl remembers the times I'd be smashing it That's why she writes me letters like "Loretta" sayin' she wants to have my kids I was gonna let you slide since you can't dance, kid This is the end of your joyride 'cause I'm "Comin' To The Stage" battlin' Your style's more hyped up now like Mike Tyson and the Aftermath gimmicks The only way you'll win is if you pay me to write you punchlines, when you have wack lyrics Gimmicks over talent these days is the trend It's my job to destroy the average beats and hooks and help the rhyme animals resurface That's what'll happen when I get signed to Overbrook by the Fresh Prince You better not look for a career in rappin' and look for another occupation After witness your queer shot attempt I'm still blazin'
