Sure, I can do that. As long as you don't mind the change, since you tend to run it.
-
Could somebody be kind enough to provide an alternate link? I think hearing this will help me understand Brakes music better and where he's coming from.

R. Kelly - U Remind Me

I know, I'm gettin' impatient myself. It's Jan 07, and still no Eardrum. I hope at the latest, it drops in March. Along with March Madness, and him reppin' the Big Ten in a commercial.

Why don't we do this battle more officially, like a tournament, and everybody actually gets a rank as to where they enter? If we only have 7, it can be set up, where the lowest gets a bye.

Ciara - Promise (Instrumental)

U know Sonic, I am very scared for you now. Reason is because Da Brakes said he'd have to kill whoever he told that too.
Did anybody else get the 'you need to log in' mess?

"Hayyy!!!!" [produced by Ariel B] - Slick 23, QB, & Kel Spencer

How soon we forget. Nas was doing a "Unauthorized Biography of KRS-One", like he did with Rakim. He said it would be on his next album, and we haven't seen sight of it. Over the last few years, or even probably the whole time they knew each other in their careers, they've been decently tight in talking to each other when they could. It's called respect. If KRS was anything sneaky and greedy, he'd be capitalizing and adding his name to the "Hip Hop Is Dead" controversy.

I think this decline in rap & R&B sales are for a number of reasons.
1. No one can deny the age of downloading. Albums are "leaked"(I believe by record labels) to the internet and are posted everywhere. You don't have to go far on the internet to find the latest album.
2. Legal download sites like ITunes and Napster have given people control to buy the music they want. You don't have to buy whole albums now. You get the freedom to choose what songs you want.
3. The hip-hop community is at a crossroads. Like the U.S. I believe that the hip-hop community is divided. There are those who think that rap is fine and it's more lucrative than ever. Then there are those who think that rap has sold its soul and the only thing that counts is money.
4. Not a lot of quality, just lots of quantity and that's never a good thing.
I agree with everything except the part about the labels doing the leaking. They would NEVER do that, it's like cutting their own throats! Believe me, there are Music Industry Anarchists EVERYWHERE! You'd be surprised at how many of us there are who remember well the Golden Era of Hip-Hop, and who long to bring about a renaissance! :pony:
Yeah, labels don't exactly leak stuff, but how do you explain this... (the whole thing with DJ Drama)

An Intelligent Response to all this DRAMA…
DJ Drama's sister summed the **** up best. From Murder Ink to the Aphilliates America continues to prove its disdain for the Blackman regardless of his occupation. Regardles to if you are Bob Johnson of BET or O.G. Bobby Johnson of American gangster Dom, Bobby McFerrin or Bobby Digital, if you are Black, Hispanic or any other member of the poor and oppressed, Bobby they HATE YOU! Major record companies facilitate, perpetuate and benefit greatly from the mixtape DJ and his/her profession. These major labels supply the mix DJ with exclusive (never released or heard) tracks from artists on their rosters as a part of their marketing strategy. The mixtape DJ is apart of the labels marketing budget and campaign. DJ Drama is no different from Freeway Rick Ross, he's being used by Major labels to distribute their product (music) in the hoods of America so that they can make millions of dollars off this "illegal" action and never be penalized for it; leaving DJ Drama and other hip-hop DJ's as scape-goats to be painted as the "kingpins" of "bootlegging" or "racketeering" and conveniently made the targets of the RIAA's bull**** war on "racketeering!" Just like the CIA used Rick Ross to distribute their product (crack-cocaine) in the hoods of ..:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />America so that they could make millions of dollars off this illegal action and never be penalized. Again, leaving Rick Ross and other black youth in America's inner-cities as scape-goats to be painted as the "kingpins" or "drug-lords" of the drug trade and conveniently made the targets of the DEA's bull**** "war on hoods" I mean "drugs!"
Why haven't they raided the offices of the ITunes and the CIA with guns drawn and confiscated all of the spoils that they have attained from selling all of this music and drugs? (I know, I know…don't answer that...I'm just thinking out loud)

I'm just gonna say, we could've been arguing about this months ago.

I am "NOT IN"

I remember making my mind up as a young kid that i would never do that. I never smoked weed or even a cigarette for that matter. 2 me, all of that stuff would be a waste of money and nothing positive could come out of it...so why bother even experimenting. That doesn't mean i wasn't around it...ALOT. My enviornment was filled with it at one time and it waz no big deal 2 be around me...but now i won't really allow it around me. I even stopped drinking when i waz 14 or 15 (yeah, i got started early...ha ha) all becuz of what i said earlier about drugs. Bottom line, this is the body i'm stuck with...so i'm gonna treat it right. We may be spiritual beings...but we are physical being also. And if i'm gonna consider myself a champion at life...then i gotta live like one and treat my body the same way. In my eyez, u can't be a champion if u are addicted 2 any kinda drug.
On top of that, that stuff can only open a negative door wide open in your life. U can get arrested, fined, u can loose respect from important people in your life, hurt or kill someone while driving under the influence, u can make ignorant unchangable decesions that will effect u 4 the rest of your life, and u can allow others 2 effect your life 4 the rest of your life. I know quite a few girls who have been raped at parties where drugs and alcohol were floating around. I also know of someone who got in a car accident while under the influence...and it killed the passenger...one of my best friends girlfriends.
And on top of that, i think that if u have 2 rely on a drug 2 keep u happy, u seriously need 2 get a life. If u are so uncreative and uninspired in the many things going on around u that u gotta stimulate yourself with a drug...u need 2 check your lifestyle. If u are fine with that, than just do u. If u feel challenged or guilty, then maybe u need 2 examine yourself.
Right there with you on those thoughts you expressed.

If anyone calls anybody out of name to that extreme, I am officially done with this forum. A couple laughs, a few jokes, a serious discussion, but that would be too much.

I take it almost as a compliment, when someone says I must smoke some good stuff to come up with the rhymes that I do. :lol:

P. Diddy Feat. R. Kelly-Satisfy You (Instrumental)
Ooh, I'm gonna use this one.
What do you mean your gonna "use it"? Do you plan on recording something?
Yeah, that's a cool jam, but the original is from Luniz "I Got 5 On It" back in 94-95. And even further back, in the 80s "Why You Treat Me So Bad". I forget the name of the band.
Talib Kweli - Raise The Bar
-
It did the same thing to me Wes. I checked them out. Here's my review after a one time listen. Kel bringin' them as only he can.
"Hip Hop Story" - Kel goes into a Reggae/Jamacian delivery in and out the song and points out all of hip hop's and r&b music's most recognizeable deaths. (2pac, Biggie, Jam Master Jay, Left-Eye, Aaliyah, Big Pun, etc.)
"Y'all Love It" - A lift offa Yung Joc's "I Love It".
-
Uh oh! Yeah. Heading to his page right now.
-
I don't get this. The song is about uplifting the human race, and one of the guys that tries to do it, you tear down. :daveuidiot: This is a cold society boy.
If you only knew why I do what I do, you'd totally understand where my mind's at. :2thumbs: -
Won't that be encouraging him?
-
Of course not! *looks to his left* Did I say that? *looks to the right* Did I say that? hey, I had a chance to met Mary J a few years ago myself. I seen her, but I didn't introduce myself. I'm already laid back and on natural highs. I don't need her. :lol:
-
Is it just me, or are people finding the forum to mean less to us? I think there is a person to blame here. *coughs cough*
And speaking of Wes being a "punk", didn't anybody else notice him 'meeting mary jane'? I personally have no problem with that, but I don't think the rest of the JJFP fam will take to kindly to that.
Audio Battle II
in Caught in the Middle
Posted
Before this is official set, I wanna reason how the rules will be.
Battlers have a MAX Time Limit 3 days each for their verses.
Battlers will pick and choose their own beat. (You wanna use the same, go ahead. You wanna flip it more to fit your own style, go ahead.)
Other than that, the default rules that was set in the 1st Audio Battle will follow. (16 lines Max)
I can't close topics. Somebody else (Brakes or Schnazz I assume) will have to do it.
