  1. Next Year's Honorees Should Be?

    in Caught in the Middle

    Posted

    JJ and FP definitely gotta be in there

    they're losing credibility without Rakim on there

    De La, Tribe, or Brand Nubian deserve it

    it wouldn't hurt to honor an underground artist, like Gang Starr, or Kool Keith/Ultramagnetic, and of course I'd like to see Aceyalone or Freestyle Fellowship on there...

    So, any other early nominees for next year's show? :hmm:

    oh...and Wu-Tang?

    Nice to see Jazzy...Cool J killed it...coulda done without Nelly impersonating/biting...Great to see GMF & the Five...Melle Mel take steroids or what?...Kane was awesome, especially at the end how his stalky ass could still dance like that!

    Not as wack as I thought it was gonna be...

  14. Rhyme Of The Day

    in Caught in the Middle

    Posted

    I must post this whole song:

    [Akrobatik]

    Yeah, it was written in the books of Europeans we were savage

    That our history was insignificant and minds below average

    But how can one diminish the work

    Of the most imitated culture on this earth

    Fast foward to 2000 and now

    You see it everywhere you look, speech, music, fasion and style

    It's black dialogue

    Go ahead kid, try it on

    It's much harder to master than precision with firearms

    Corny nig**z switch it up and rent it to Viacom

    But it was taught to me early on by my mom

    Master yourself, for maximum outreach potential

    Respect that you get from that will roll exponential

    Preferential treatment, brings us heat when

    It only goes to those who rock the diamonds and sequence

    They invite the kiddies to the video show

    To watch the fake t***y models all act like ho*s

    I guessed it goes the more ignorance the more pressed

    But everywhere I look I see black people with more stress

    But does that mean we should be shucking and jiving

    F**king and kniving just to keep our bank accounts thriving

    See I walked the path my elder laid out

    Cause acting like a monkey for white folks is played out

    I get my own money, on my own turn

    Got heat for everybody, watch the microphone burn

    [Mr. Lif]

    let me tell you about my nig**z nowadays

    Nowadays nig**z acting like slaves because it pays many ways

    A, to get the pu**y - B, to get the cars

    C, the jewels around their neck

    But their demise is not farfetched

    Step with that Uncle Tom, f**king palm action

    And my TV's always off because I see something truely black then

    Aww sh*t, got a call from Brother Malcolm

    Awakening from the grave, he's asking "what the fu*k happened"

    I said these ni***z all want homes in the Hamptons

    It's Dimension shows so they do what white man asks them

    Throwing money at the screen that other brother ain't catching

    Yes, hellish foes, and now they rest in peace, thanks for asking

    They rather teach eachother how to fire chrome than to buy a home

    There's power in the land that we own

    You need capital to start to win the capitialism

    Take the money from the sales and find a place to be living

    Rather black landlords than white chalk on the floor

    Our mentalities for casualites are keeping us poor

    And the poor teach the rich how to work

    Rich teach the kids how to invest

    Hence we dying from stress

    And the rhythm from the drums shine its own sun

    My father said, "you think a brighter day ever gon' come"

    I said, "pop, rock the beat box

    and I'm a empty out my mind cause I'm around till I drop"

    Yo, Martin and Malcolm knew it

    Black dialogue

    Grandma Moses drew it

    Black dialogue

    Stevie Wonder seen it

    Black dialogue

    Many aim the steam with

    Black dialogue

    Jim Brown, ran with

    Black dialogue

    Huey Newton had a plan with

    Black dialogue

    Chuck D took a stand for

    Black dialogue

    KRS is the man with

    Black dialogue

    The whole world is after

    Black dialogue

    The whole world is after

    Black dialogue

    The whole world is after

    Black dialogue

    welcome hymn strings.. you've just listed basically 90% of my fav artists.. only 1 u missed out on was lyrics born i think.. but abstract rude..atu.. haiku..n acey.. damn man been huge fan of theres since i picked up bohl in 98 and saw them rip it live..  :word: i got the FF albums, atu albums, a-team, all aceys etc etc  :pony:

    I did put Latryx on my list. I'm a big fan of "The Album." I can't say I care too deeply for "Same Sh%# Different Day," save a few songs. Do you got the two Haiku D'Etat albums. I like their recent one because I can play it at work and not get any complaints by customers for the lyrics. You should really search for a Mikah 9 album...they're hard to find, but well worth it.

  20. Will mentioned on C-Rayz Walz Track

    in Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince

    Posted

    Old news, but underground animal C-Rayz Walz mentioned Will (and Jada) on his excellent debut LP "Ravipops" at the very beginning of a song called "Battle Me." It starts out:

    "Where there's a will there's a way

    Where there's Will there's Jada

    (and continues...)

    I kiss then piss in the face of a hater" (that's C-Rayz for ya) :chuks:

    - It sounded a lot closer to paying homage to Will, rather than a diss. I was delighted to hear this from C-Rayz...you never know what's gonna come out his mouth. Anyways, that cd is one of my favorites so I recommend checking it out. He also came out with a cd earlier this year titled "Year of the Beast."

    Just thought I'd bring this up in Will's forum...

    welcome... good to see another Hieroglyphics fan in here.

    I'm not TOO big on them. I'm more of a Fellowship, Zion I type of West Coast listener, but I respect Pep Love immensely...can't wait till "Reconstruction" comes out (whenever that may be). Opio's pretty talented too, I was suprised how much I liked his debut cd from this year...

    hmm..well i liked lost and found for what it was..but L R is all around better.  We Major with Nas and kanye?  WHAA!!!  Diamonds with JayZ?  anything with Jay gets a point.  "Late"  helllll yeah...  "We Can Make It Better" (on the jap vr).  yep.  but the best album this year is Common's "Be" album.

    IMO...Zion I's "True & Livin'." Have u heard that?

    I don't have a camera, but I just wanted to say Hello. I signed up here recently, partly because my "Temple" has been under renovation for some time now, but I have viewed these forums for quite some time now, and I am impressed with some of the members knowledge and overall treatment of each other. I mean, I should expect that anyways from members of a jjfp board, right?

    Anyways, about myself, I live right outside of Phoenix, I'm 20 years old, white (if you cared), and a fan of a lotta old school and underground Hip Hop, as well as little Jazz and oldies, and basically a little bit of everything.

    Here are some of my favorite Hip Hop artists:

    Aceyalone

    Mikah 9

    Abstract Rude

    ^(so I guess Haiku D'Etat goes without saying)

    Guru/Gang Starr

    Rakim

    Jeru the Damaja

    Mr. Lif

    C-Rayz Walz

    Common

    Latryx

    Blackalicious

    Brand Nubian

    Wu-Tang.......Inspectah Deck...Masta Killa...Rza...Ghostface...Killah Priest

    Masta Ace

    KRS-One

    Big Daddy Kane

    Biz Markie

    De La Soul

    Living Legends......Scarub...Bicasso...Eligh

    Kool Moe Dee

    J-Live (new album is great)

    Ultramagnetic MC's

    Stetsasonic

    The Roots

    Crown City Rockers/ Mission

    Hieroglyphics......Pep Love!...Opio...Del

    Zion I

    Leaders of New School

    Freestyle Fellowship

    Chuck D/Public Enemy

    Busdriver

    Edan

    Devin the Dude

    ...and the list goes on

    Amp Live (from Zion I) is my favorite producer in the present, and oh yeah...I'm not a big Kanye fan neither. Sorry! Although I did respect his recent comments on NBC.

    So that's me...I look forward to interacting with y'all on here.

    Peace

    Big Ted, I was halfway joking. Yes, people are gonna know of KRS before they know Acey, but what does that matter. He does have quite the gathering of loyal fans that stick through thick and thin. Heck, I know Acey's got some kind of following here in PHX. Whenever I go to a show, in between acts, what do the deejays usually spin...Public Enemy, KRS, Slick Rick, Rakim, Aceyalone, etc. The deejays have always fit him in with some of the greatest names in Hiphop.

    If you take a listen to his four/five solos, and then what else he has innovated and been a part of (Fellowship, Haiku) and even blessing others with guest appearances and being on compilations like the Calicomm cd from this year, Okayplayer, and the upcoming NBA 2K6 soundtrack, his work ranks up there with ANYBODY'S! Some of the nicest stuff Hip Hop has ever heard, IMO. Anyways, it's hard to say he's G.O.A.T. with little mass recognition, so maybe one could make a better case for underground/indie champ or lesser...like the godfather of Cali Hip Hop (along with Del, perhaps).
