nice-face

ya..but the most respected ones in the game,,are the comfortable ones (moneywise) that keep rap RAP...and just know wat their own bank account looks like....anyone who gotta announce their earnings, spend their advances on rides/bullshit chains,etc.. is WACK..straight up..it gets oldd...buy hey,they aint getting no respect for us backpack oldschool hiphop Real fans..never....... on a last note,,i was at a small club show a lil while back w/ Dilated Peoples (soo iLL!!), Beatnuts, and Cormega..and let me tell u that i rather be in a small intimate club setting with acts like these,,than to go to any Bullshit 50cent, Jayz, CashMoney, puffy, Ja, or fabolous type concert....AND THATS that. peace

they took our roots of RAP..shit on it,Used it,raped it, make their money off it,,pissed on it,and threw it out the window...but FUK everyone frontin like they Emcees..they aint..they fake-ass entertainers..NO respect for them (from me at least)..fuk the new generation ignorance

...Oh....and can WE GET A CAPONE album out sumday or what??!!.im itchin for thatt

no...premo made several beats, but for sum reason Dre decided he didnt approve of any of them..are u fukin kidding me?....nooo ex-NWA member is gonna tell the greatest Producer what is right/wrong..no way..... i dont care wat new shit any oldschool emcees are putting out towards the end of their careers..but if they do any of their classics,,i rather hear those tracks ANNNYtime before any new boring shit by anyone else.. (and realize how State property is totally jacking sum classic BoogieDown Productions tracks and doing em over...oh,,And RunDmc shit too.."beans to the rhyme")

i just know this anything west coast production + Rakim = Aint gonna be tight..and to his fullest potential However,,sum Premo, Pete rock,etc..type shit will be sum mean to be type shit

..words rite out my mu'afukin mouth..nuff said..SHUT DOWN the thread...ITS A RAPP.done

word..good to see ive bumped into another man who knows his share of shit in the RAP game..(get it right people.."RAP is sumthing u do,,Hiphop is sumthing u live"-krs). talk to u later..almost done rolling this blunt,,peace

as my man lloyd banks said it..."..and Ashanti's sideburns be bigger than mine" ...and YAyo's words.."you know my style, Ak's and tommy's,,,and plungers and broomsticks to rape Ashanti".... hahh

i understand...But my point is that yayo and Lloyd are already making cream JUST from being around 50(shos, promotions, shows, appearances,etc..)..anyway we'll see soon enuff i guess. i luv B.I.G....but im a realist...and the Trut is that biggie only did 2 actual albums (and i wasnt too fond of the 2nd one)...how can u even compare that to Rakims legacy...no way..Rakim made joint after joint....i am being totally fair,and i have a feeling that if Big poppa was still alive,,there would be a lott less people claiming that he was 'the greatest'...for real...rakim, Big daddy kane, Big L, slick rick (and a few others) have to be given more credit cause they were ahead of their time and innovated many styles..(big L alone mastered several styles of rhymin...and people bit it,,thus he would change it up....)..anyway,,,i laugh my fukin ass of at these bullllllshit "top 50" greatest emcee things they put together (VH1 ,,are u kidding me??to even have names like coolio, Ja, and master p is a spitt in the face of the whole genre)...peace

oh..and the fact is...Yayo and Banks is iller than 50,,straight up..always have been...(and i dont see them switchin no styles up)..they are just too ill.... im just waitinggg for Premier to throw the Lox over another ill track (u cant even say "WE ARE THE STREETS" was that bad,,premo's track alone was CLASSSSSIC to me).. paul Caine is pretty tight too (he completes the so-called "triangle offense")..i met Buddens a few weeks ago,,and we spoke about his voice box problem,,i feel bad for him..the surgery is a risk, it can go one way or the other....anyway,DBlock, ali Vegas, GRAPH, cassidy,and a few others..the only ones im feelin 101%... Oh,,and i almost smacked the shit outta this bitch ass kid i know (AND sum bitch with him) claiming that JayZ is greatest ever,,and far ahead of rakim...I took it personal, and threw them out my house..how dare they..I asked them to name 1 Rakim song ever..THEY DIDNT SAY SHIIIIIT...it wasnt even an argument,,it was a typical New-generation ignorant faggot speaking (like 95% of this generation)..his only response was "ya but look at Jay's bank account")...i told him shit wasnt the same back then..artists were not as blown up in hiphop especially and marketing wasnt there..Thus, not that that much loot there either..money aint the issue..i told him,if he asked 100 of the "biggest" emcees out now Who is the greatest ever....95% of them will say the "R" and THATS That..(and the other few that dont,,are just PAc-dick riders or too high on themselves)..but the truth is....Everyone can argue about 2nd place and so-on, cuz the Number 1 aint a question.. ..peace yall -Face..aka...'the HipHop Encyclopedia Brown..' WHAT WHAT

he aint Killa kam no longer...just remember that.. ohh..if onlyy Children of The Corn stayed together,,and they were all still bangin hits now ...1 of the greatest emcees of all time (in my top 5) BIG L...plus..murda' Mase,,killa kam, McGruff...... yall remember "american dream" ?.??.awww shittt..theyyy ripped that track (same beat as "i aint mad at ya"-pac)...big L's verse alone just killlldd it..and marked his name in history for me..

welll,,i hatin on 50....just tellin the truth...all i know is,,since he got his big signing bonus and signed to shady/aftrmath, they persuaded him to make more commercial joints than street ish..trust me,,the buzz would STILL there around him if he threw old tracks like "how to rob.." or any of his older ish..But he just did wat would make more and more loot (make like 99% of his album joints RADIO-playable)..to me,,the radio=NO no..fuk da radio oh,,and D-block is just the illest new generation crew..i luv em..straight up...Jae-hood is a great addition..and i hope they all stick together forever...i dont see them really blowin up in the mainstream much (knock on wood),,so im happy as of where theyre at..the Mixtape KILLAZ,,,i probably got a thousand mixtape bangazz where they ripppp it..i swear to god, id listen to one of their joints a million times more than Any commercial album sold in stores (i think last cd i bought was ...ummmm....maybe the GZA or sumshit..) oh,,and shellz has to get his shit going...i was happy that J-records signed him..(and remember,,this is the 2nd place Battle contest).Jada gotta get things rollin for TEAM ARLISS (shells, trav, straw...).peace yall.....great thread,,,...oh...and CANT FORGET ABOUT MY MAN..(still the rawesttt on the street....COR-muthafukin-MEGA).....i met cormega a while ago...and he is STREETS (straight drug price talk.etc... crazyyy ish)..he blew up a freestyle about growing up with nas,,and the details of how shit got fukd up between em..peace yall

and flame me all u want..but from the true headz..i can tell u that 50 also is a hipacrite and a sell out basically (ya ya, its about the loot..sure)...i just know his flow and style was different from a long time ago...he changed up,,and he's like a american idol now,,to people who got no clue..makes me sad...hah....oh,,and every mixtape follower can admit that hes one of those few artists that u like to (well at least me) hear rhyme over other peoples beats...thats wat made him ill before (like a hiphop Weird-Al kinda)...i dont care how many times he tells his gettin-shotup story, or his jabs at Ja, hes watered down and fake now..Done (oh, and Ali vegas is having huge label beefs...columbia collapsed,,,hes stranded)..peace

YALL got NOOO clue.....sheek is the hardest Nugga in the mixtape game lately..and thats that....AND now that the man himself,,STYLES p. is out..just watch out (andd he writes most of the lox shiiit)...... the illest emcees..underrated.. STYLES p Ali VEGAS (the next nas...yall just dont know.) Big L (gotta always include my man.RIP..among the best ever) Cassidy..(watch out) GRAPH

I came up from Boston with a bunch of heads (for JP's bday)..and we went by World from like 1-4ish...and all i gotta say is "Sandstorm"....DONE! ill leave it at that..(and of course a 50 minute set of Stranger, but nothing like JP's i heard later)....then we rocked Factory from 5-5...mad diverse beats he threw on...i think its in sum of these dj's contracts that they gotta rock "Corrupt" and "stranger in my house" for a minimum of 45 mins a night.(oh, and JP totally rips it up in ny better than in Boston..)
