MaxFly Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 (edited) Why do Jay and LL have more votes than Mos Def... This doesn't make any sense. We are talking about the Lost and Found track, right... come on guys. It's a popularity contest, probably not a lot of us heard much of Mos Def, they don't know what they're missing, he's a dope mc! :poke: Lol, well I guess that's better than people knowing who Mos is and is about and choosing Jay and LL anyway. But still... I shed a single tear for people not knowing who Mos Def is... :poke: Edited May 10, 2005 by MaxFly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxFly Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 I saw your remark before you edited it. :poke: But in all realness, you have to realize that your remark may be offensive to Christians... the "second coming of Christ" remark was a bit much.

MaxFly Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 (edited) I really don't want to get into it and I'm not going to argue with you, but I would advise you not to make such remarks. They can be very divisive and may offend people on this forum. Edited May 10, 2005 by MaxFly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigted Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Anyway back on topic here I'd have to say that I'd have to throw in a couple wildcards here for the "Lost & Found" remix, I think Kel Spencer deserves a shot to do a remix with Will, he co-wrote a few tracks for Will in recent years and I think it'd be only fair for him to get some shine. And I know Tim's gonna like this idea, I think Pep Love should do the remix with Will, he's the most conscious mc on the underground hip-hop scene, I've been hooked to his "Ascension" album ever since Tim introduced it to me a few months ago, check out these lyrics from "Ascension": "(Pep Love) Here we here we go This place Let's go Yeah the passing on Experience amassing The last thing known Of the everlasting tongue My raps are forecasting The rapture that shall capture Vast things of fascination Exasperation of an entire nation Causes inflammation We master masons Paper chasin, brick layin And playin the game That we was placed in From the beginning To the end ya know Living is learning So how could you pretend to know What you don't Cause you won't Benefit from it I'm infinite And that's only an increment Of my elevation To a higher plane I contain information And spread it the same Apotheosis occurs When I drop these Doses of words Over musical notes With an impulsive urge On the verge of a breakthrough Symbols of sound vibrate the ground Like earthquakes do Energy surges Death to my enemies Service of justice Poetical purges of tyrants I rinse the world of the virus Like this Living my life with vibrance And radiance On the way to the next apex Is platinum plaques And packed stadiums Ascension Chorus (2x): I'm on another plane Runnin a game We all one and the same Come with me I'll show you what you won't believe And you can be what you want to be Ascension Bigger things, other places Dimensions, ascension Where do we go from here? Ahh yeah I'll take you there With this one, listen Attention, attention This is ascension And it would be Even if I didn't mention it War, peace, love and hate The very nature of it all In a fallen state It's unclear at best And if I told you it'd probably Go in one ear And out the next but don't fear We questin to answer questions Advance to the next progression Or learning another lesson Believe it or not I'm walking on air And ahh yeah It feels good Even if not understood It's all to the greater purpose I get subterranean And rise to the surface Evolving and revolving Around the sun We are men, women and children Buildin, never yieldin We livin in killin fields And are weapon wieldin Until the void is filled in Steppin over corpses Through this metamorphosis That life offers A twist of fortune is The very reason Every season Changes and the angels Sing to the strangers We trailblazin Hell raisin Amazing tales Of spirit, energy Physical integration Me and my niggaz are vigorous In the days when we headed To the place where time and space end Ascension Chorus (2x)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-o-e Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 I bet the ones that voted for Jay-Z probably never heard much of Rakim's stuff, he's one of the most conscious mcs to get on the mic, Jay-Z can't compare to what Rakim has done, btw, LL is as versatile as FP is on the mic I don't think there's a song that LL can't do, he could drop some knowledge on the track, but it's great as it is already. oh i voted for jay z, and i have heard rakim's stuff, Jay z does the same what every other rapper u name does, talk about his life, clamin he ain't good enough, whats jay z done that rakim hasnt, became a preisednt of def jam/roc a fella, succesfull clothing line, roc a wear, successfull platnuim albums, part owner of a new york sports team, Jay z is an inspiration to me, and i think a will smith jay z track would be great to hear, just because jay z doesnt spit as much knowledge as LL, Rakim, etc, because he makes his life, all rappers are writing a story to tell us, and hip hop is the greatest forms of story telling ever, whoever u hear in hip hop, somehow and someway they are telling you a story about what happened to them, what happened to a friend, etc, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 (edited) Rakim was one of the 1st ever mcs to release a platinum album, he opened doors for Jay-Z and Jay-Z has prospered and is a smart buisiness man, but everybody's different, Rakim wants to be on the low, he doesn't wanna be an entrepeneur, he just wants to make albums, and I don't feel that it's right that no label signs him 'cause he's a pioneer and the pioneers should get more respect in this game than they get! btw, I don't judge's Will's or any rapper's talent off of how much money they make, 'cause a lot of the pioneers never got the type of money they deserved for originating this hip-hop, they should be presidents of labels, it should be like sports, all the hall-of-famers have front office positions waiting for them after retirement. Nelly owns part of the Bobcats but I don't think that does anything to help has rap skills, Jay-Z has more skills than him, but I just wanted to make a point there, don't judge a book by it's cover. Funkmaster Flex is making more money than Jazzy Jeff, but does that make him a better DJ? :confused3: Edited May 10, 2005 by bigted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesSyde Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 :werd: Ted! Pep Love would be dope! all u gotta do is listen 2 songs like "The Onus" and his remix of "On Fire" that makes u realize he's sayin pretty much the same thing Will is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
