Hey I think Slick Rick's working on a new album too, maybe he'll be perfroming some new songs there! :music: Hey Wild Child I didn't know you were performing!

If he only releases one album in December he should either release another album with the unreleased songs like Nas did with "The Lost Tapes"! Hey it wouldn't be a bad idea for him to do a Christmas song on there since not many rappers make Christmas songs! :dancingcool:

Maybe Will'll judge Freestyle Friday on 106&Park when he's there! :thumb:

Thanks for the props, yeah I'm lookin' forward to recording my lyrics to dope beats I gotta get myself some equipment then y'all will hear my flow!

"Stall or React” Rap Song By Big Ted Chorus: Should I Stall or React? Don't Doubt When I rhyme raw on the track Every M.C. in this time wants to ball with gats When will they see that I don't fall for them and their crap And when will it be about the art of the rap? Or does the charts get y'all gased? I'm about ready for y'all to depart and fall back I never stall, I always react Y'all never ball when y'all lose shine to play against the glass Verse One: Y'all know the center of attention Those defenders don't ever step in When they get referred to as broke pretenders That got nerve to question And the ball on the court gets deflected But they fall short to what they first did mention Lookin' like lame ol' sports is worse than depressing That mouth you overexert is never respected It's out of bounds, not even worth an honorable mention When you act foul, your hurt is never sparred against You lookin' to prowl, but you're a scared bitch Don't look foolish now, 'cause you've been scared from the beginning No use of lookin' out when your spare is dead It's easy to shoot out words of how you're lookin' now when your flare is careless No desire to perform Is expired for sure Why don't you retire in your Hearse You're wrong when your time's up and tryin' work is getting' you hurt Don't even act like you're showin' progress When your rap flow is nonsense That goes as a plot wrecked How can you go then act like you got sense To go jot that rap like I'm the fool on your shot of a diss' That's too easy of a plot to track, like a pot full of piss Why you gotta enact that cock bull**** You can't blast at the jock rulin' When your spot is ruined And that's got somethin' to do with Preperation instead of anticipation When your basics is a discracement There's no way that you're playin' Up to a high level When you know what's up and I'm the rebel Who never reveals the same move Over and over when I shoot the next day improved The percentage for me is up That means you're beat again, punk! It's not my fault that you're gonna live in a slum Across from the mansion that I'm set to run And by the time you get your guns Like you're set in your mind to shoot someone You'll be labeled as a studio thug 'Cause what you say on a record is a big front Your whole album is one big Hollywood stunt Written all over it Big Ted got ya cornered, bitch There's no reflection Of an artist's inflection When there's no heart in the record [Repeat Chorus] Verse 2: I've worked out too much To look now as a screw punk Is used to what Peeps use to describe The whole fuse of my vibe Of course some of my enemies refuse to collide In my scene without a useful mind So there's a clearance you find But others that possess the foolish pride Are the ones that make it hard to survive I'm not tryin' to act like the bigggest star all of the time That brings hurt to my life 'Cause I'm not tryin' to be the bad guy So, What do you plot to deceive and act out your damn mind? I wish that you stop proceeding and be actin' out more civilized Why can't you just kill ya pride? When you know that you cant't be perfect in every way Even Michael Jordan didn't hit all his fade aways And other cats won championships when he played I would be foolish to say That everyday is bringin' me nothin' but winningful ways Sometimes there's bitterness in my days 'Cause my weakness is my shame And it's what I hide, 'cause I claim That my confidance outweights my mistakes I don't take for granted of my fame 'Cause I could break when a lot doesn't go my way But I don't see my paradise bursting My spot of the title I've claimed The past's done So the future has some Mystery ahead for the victory I want And it's key that I love Being myself and I hope that my future seed comes from Someone that respects who she is and what she does 'Cause my weakness that I possess is the need in my fiend for love I wish I could find her, when everyone proceeds for the front That's the answer for who questions what I really want I rather be a rapper that has passion than being the rapper who's just blasting guns Even though there's no attraction, it's more interacted With the state of mind that I'm from [Repeat Chorus Until End Of Song]

March 4th, Piesces is in the house! :dancingcool:

How much does all that equipment cost? :dunno: I'm curious to know 'cause I'm trying to save some money so I could start recording my own songs! Hey Will if you're reading, hook a brotha up with some equipment!

[quote=mfuqua23,Jul 10 2004, 04:35 PM]bigted - the great mind that thinks like me[/quote] Thanks man 4 mentionin' me man, hey are we related or somethin' 'cause we think very similiar?

[quote=mfuqua23,Jul 11 2004, 12:11 AM]the last video I saw was Nas "Thief's Theme". Which was actually good. Becuz of Nas's age and knowledge, that video is acceptable 2 me. I'm lookin foward 2 his album. I have all of em. Jadakiss's "Why" seems fake 2 me.[/quote] No matter what Nas does he always seems to be miles ahead of the average M.C., I enjoy "Thief's Theme" as well. I get the feeling that Jadakiss did that video "Why" 4 popularity 'cause never before was he ever a conscious m.c., his album went #1 on the Billboard charts last week, but I bet none of the other tracks on the album have anything to do with "Why"'s theme, I don't know 'cause I haven't jumpeed on the Jadakiss bandwagon, but I hear some of his tracks on mixtapes that I occassionally buy(I don't even buy 'em that much anymore 'cause a lot of songs are mixtapes these days are garbage) and he always talks about shooting somebody and smokin' a dutch, never anything relevant! He got a lot of skills but like other m.c.'s like Eminem and Jay-Z he uses his talent the wrong way!

Why doesn't he go on any mixtapes then if he feels that way? :dunno:

When MC Hammer was growing up he was assistant general manager for the Oakland A's, Rickey Henderson mentioned that a couple of years ago in an ESPN interview and he said that MC Hammer was very much involved with the team when he was there by packing the team equipment, handing players meal money, and handling of the team's lineup card. Of course they show that in a couple shows that AJ mentioned, I bet he had a lot of fun working with a major league baseball team! There ain't too many entertainers coming out these days that know how to dance, it's becoming a lost art, 'cause James Brown is in his 70's(there's controversey over his age he's 76 years old right now, though he'll tell u that he's 71 ) and he still has more moves that these young cats comin' out these days don't so i guess he ain't gonna retire from doing shows until he drops 'cause he's still performing, sure Usher got moves but I think that his dance style is too similar to Michael Jackson's to call it creative, MJ and James Brown are immortal when it comes to their skills, but all the troubles they've had wit the law has hurt them image wise.

He can dance better than any MC in hip-hop history period!

Cool! I'll try to be here for the chat! Peace! :peace:

I'd kill to have a body like Will's, it must be hard for him to stay married to Jada when a lot girls get all horny over how he looks!

Damn Tatyana Ali's all grown now! :dancingcool:

Cool way to promote! :thumb:

I'm not a huge MC Hammer fan but I think that he's a lot better than a lot of the talentless rappers out right now and he should be back in the game. He's a minister like KRS-ONE right? I thought it was wack that a lot of people called him a sell out when he was helping other people out. Most rappers are selfish people that don't help people out so they shouldn't diss MC Hammer 'cause at least he has heart, he's not the greatest rapper, but he's a good person for the rap game.

Hey FUQ I'm always lookin' forward to collaborate wit peeps that know how to speak their minds and not do what everyone else is doing 'cause we can change the game! Holla back!

I wrote a verse recently that's very similiar to the theme that ur talkin' about, I guess great minds think alike! :thumb: Peep this: "It all comes from a down moment Hypocrite bums are now folding 'Cause they thought the spotlight would shine out bright on them For all eternity, words are deadly Y'all ask for mercy, but your ass is hurting Those below you, they won't console you When they find their way ahead And your spotlight blurs away slipping You can break in a minute When I finish this sentence It's gonna be the beginning of ya ending And all our clocks are ticking Every moment we're living We shouldn't take for granted 'Cause love ones today are passing For somebody, we see them dying in war in a gas tank That exploded by a terroist We're losing our own fellow Americans And our worldwide friends That are humans beings tryin' to be livin' In peace but that's a trajedy to swallow again A daughter that isn't comin' home to her parents A brother that went over to try to make a livin' All the sacrifices are blessings 'Cause they died to give us protection But yet we m.c's always talk bout the ice on our neck Or all the shine on our wrists Talkin' like a bunch of children Why do we have to lie in illness? Let's put the line on what we're building By making a perfect plan Getting the momentum in ya hand Is what seperates the wisdom from a boy to a man" It would be great to see more rappers speak their minds like we do, more people will wanna listen to hip-hop than they do now if this happens!

Hey I like reggae music, don't diss reggae music, it's fun music, and I rather listen to a fun dancehall track than Petey Pablo anyday! And who knows maybe the album'll drop around my 20th birthday on March 4th 2005, they could celebrate their 20th anniversary when I celebrate my 20th birthday! :music:

Here's some more phat tracks to consider: 50 Cent "In Da Club" Fat Joe and R.Kelly "We Thuggin'" Slick Rick and Doug E. Fresh "The Show" JJFP "As We Go" Wyclef Jean "Party Like I Party" Dr. Dre,Nate Dogg, and Snoop Dogg "The Next Episode" Guy "Groove Me" Dr.Dre and Snoop Dogg "Still D.R.E." Dr.Dre and Snoop Dogg "Ain't Nothin' But A 'G' Thing" KRS-ONE "Step Into A World"(Rapture's Delight) Nas"Ain't Hard To Tell" Naughty By Nature and Queen Latifah "Red Light" Naughty By Nature "Hip-Hop Horray" Naughty By Nature "Swing Swang" Notorious B.I.G. "Big Poppa" Notorious B.I.G. "Hypnotize"

So what record label is Big Will gonna be on? Is it a major label or is he joining ATOJ with Jazzy Jeff?

Heys guys I have to also confess that I'm a postaholic, I started posting a couple weeks later than y'all on this board but I already passed the 300 mark as well, it seems that everytime I'm not working I always seem to be posting here, this is a drug that I keep taking hits of as well 'cause this board is so addicting!

I feel those verses, they're very similiar to the reality that I write about in my songs, we need more rappers that speak the truth in their rhymes, talkin' about things that many don't wanna talk about, I give you props for that.

What's up y'all, my real name is Gracia, but most of my peeps call me Teddy 'cause it's my nickname, and Big Ted is my rap name.
