    The number of sales is usually inversely proportional to the quality of the music.

    The Hip Hop Game

    most of us do not know the meaning of real hip hop you should try to listen to the greats like big pun biggie tupac and figure out what real hip hop is.most modern day rappers just spit shit on their tracks e.g pall wall,young bloodz,dem franchise boyz these busats should be wiped out.guys like immortal technique,method man,the game jin do not get as much credit as they deserve!

    Don't forget Bizzy and Nas..oh and Cassidy, just because he chases liquor with robotussin(which if you've ever tried tastes 100x worse)

    Dear Mathias 77

    thank you for your post, i see you are new here...

    So what makes you a consour of hiphop then???

    I have listened to biggie smalls, 2 pac and they aint all that..... perhaps you should try listening to KRS-One/BDP, Eric B and Rakim, Ultramagnetic Mc's Slick Rick, EPMD to start with then come back to me about hip hop greats.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    take care

    hat's missing is very simple... creativity and originality. every artist up through 95 has their own angle. very seldom were two artists the same. now they're almost completely interchangable and therefore useless. god forbid someone actually have the balls to talk about anything else but their jewelery or the dimensions of their rims.

    what is hip hop missing? it's missing NOT being plastered all over every single product, radio station, and tv show.

    Hallo mak

    You want lyrics

    Just check out these rakim lyrics

    I came in the door, i said it before
    I never let the mic magnatize me no more
    But it's biting me, fighting me, inviting me to rhyme
    I can't hold it back, I'm looking for the line,
    Taking off my coat, clearing my throat
    My rhyme will be kicking it until I hit my last note
    My mind'll range to find all kinds of ideas
    Self-esteem makes it seem like a thought took years to build
    But still say a rhyme after the next one
    Prepared, never scared, I'll just bless one
    And you know that I'm the soloist
    So Eric B, make 'em clap to this

    2pac aint nothing on rakim

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    The true troubadour of rap:

    Yo VIP let's kick it

    Ice ice baby (x2)
    All right stop collaborate and listen
    Ice is back with my brand new invention
    Something grabs a hold of me tightly
    Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
    Will it ever stop yo I don't know
    Turn off the lights and I'll glow
    To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
    Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle
    Dance go rush to the speaker that booms
    I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom
    Deadly when I play a dope melody
    Anything less than the best is a felony
    Love it or leave it you better gain weight
    You better hit bull's eye the kid don't play
    If there was a problem yo I'll solve it
    Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

    Vanilla Ice makes sex look like church!

    Yea were is Rakim now>? he can barly sell a show out. SOme fans might call him god however 2pac is the truth.

    [Tupac]
    We probably in Hell already, our dumb asses not knowin
    Everybody kissin ass to go to heaven ain't goin
    Put my soul on it, I'm fightin devil niggaz daily
    Plus the media be crucifying brothers severly
    Tell me I ain't God's son, nigga moma a virgin
    We got addicted had to leave the burbs, back in the ghetto
    doin wild shit, lookin at the sun don't pay
    Criminal mind all the time, wait for Judgment Day
    They say Moses split the Red Sea
    I split the blunt and rolled the fat one, I'm deadly -- Babylon beware
    Comin from the Pharoahe's kids, retaliation
    Makin legends off the shit we did, still bullshittin
    Niggaz in Jerusalem, waitin for signs
    God promised, she's just takin her time, haha
    Living by the Nile while the water flows
    I'm contemplating plots wondering which door to go
    Brothas getting shot, comin back resurrected
    It's just that raw shit, nigga check it (that raw shit)

    And I remember what my papa told me
    Remember what my papa told me, blasphemy


    i want rakim to rap something like this..

    Hi Mak,
    Thank you fpr this

    why??? this is poor in comparison to the mastery of rakim

    And why does Rakim need to sell out crowds and albums now,, he;'s been there done that....

    Along with BDK??, BDP/Krs 1, Slick Rick and PE, he is one of the most sampled MC's ever, says somthing that doesn't it??

    ~~~~~~~~~~
    take care

    Why's everyone so interested in the past? Can anyone tell me who wrote this:
    "Hov don't really respect you, get in ya place
    if Big was alive he'da probably spit in ya face
    Nas been doin' just fine without you
    and pac probably woulda made an album about you
    so i guess that just leaves me here to get rid of you
    and Rakim an 'em they don't even consider you "
