when ever i am reminded i vote again for talib, kel, jean grae, and one be lo. i really really hope one be lo wins.. anybody know him? he is one the best rappers in the underground a the moment. and in my top 3 all times.

lil mama.... come one !

this is cool as hell. but like you said too bad there isnt krs one and other living legends. not to mention some of the underground greatest. but what can you expect. some match ups were very hard for me. lupe vs mos common vs black thought andre 3000 vs method man ice cube vs the game was kinda on the tuff side ---- my final 4 was lupe nas, ludacris ( i dislike luda, but he was best out of that whole bracket IMO), and common i didnt read on how it will be decided but my final 2 was lupe and nas cant decide a winner i feel like depending on what your frame of mind is you can get many different results with this. like if i wanted to fill it out choosing the rappers that are most original i would get a differnt outcome. or if i picked the most consistant... or the one with me most soul. so i mean this fill out was my first run through and it was pretty much who i thought deserved it... and it was hard, very hard. i think im going to print out a bunch of copies and make my friends fill it out. and we could do it wit hthe differnt motives too, like i siad before

so any takers for another audio battle? they were good times! i feel like a bunch of us have mics now and it would be fun. i would be willing to organize it but i would like to be in it too. im in, who else?

dogs will love you and cats wont. cats are kind of bitches hahah.

www.myspace.com/michaelpetrow 1) my newest song is "close your eyes", it samples two tony bennet songs and the movie dead poets society. guitar by my bud dan and the rest by me. hope you enjoy it. 2) the new album Organized Mess is going to be my best cd yet! it includes: taking time (vin diesel extended version) fools gold (without me singing) moment of truth the race good news is coming (feat dan zavaro) lets get lost counterclockwise (maybe) story of a free spirit and this new one close your eyes. i hope to have 14 songs. all good enough to be on it. this time around im not just making a song and putting it on automatically, i will have b-sides. not to say that i am releasing them. but i want to be picky about what i put on. i already have 2 songs that i liked alot and now are on my b-sides. --i took the album pictures so i will have to decide on that and then i will have the cover up. i want to have a majority of the final songs before i have the covers though. 3) On another note, i sent out 9 packages to 9 labels. each with 3 discs. and a letter Disc 1 - Moment of truth, the race, two sides to every story, the race, story of a free spirit, taking time, counter clockwise, fools gold, an intro by me and a part of me. Disc 2- good news is coming (it wasnt finished in time to be on the first disc) Disc 3- DVD of variety show performance (same thing as youtube but without the glitch near the end) the labels i sent to are these: - Definitive Jux - Sony - Interscope - Epitaph - Rapster - Warner Bros. - Virgin - Atlantic Looking back i think that these labels are too big. I should really have sent to some smaller ones. I hope to at least get a rejection letter from one. That way i can have it as a souvieneir. Worst case scenario, they dont respond and that it most likely whats going to happen. -------- so thats the 3 things. alot to respond to. wish me luck with my stuff!

so you are against method man, snoop, ice-t and in support of souja boy, flo rida, jim jones and people like that?

that is a huge compliment.. thank you so much. as goes for the rest of you! thanks a bunch!

this is what he does in concert when he plays kick push;. there is no recorded version of it so i did it myself.

no its an instrument, doesnt matter.. its a nice beat.

i like that sound... i dont know what to called it but it sounds like it would be in a cave or something... that really sells the beat for me. but i like this song alot

i sent the link to 2 people before even reaching the bottom of this thread! im likign this EDIT: i was checking out other tracks from nas and ''hero'' is soo good. the beat is crazy too. it has sort of a mystical feel surrounded in hip hop goodness, kinda of sounds like a sample that DJ shadow would use... just the beginning sample. and nas rips it!

i dont know if they are referencing the show or him as an artist.. so picking a thread to put this in was difficult. i decided to pick this one an account that the song that FP is referenced is called "heart songs" and its about songs that are meaningfull to him. so heres the lyric. Michael Jacksons In the mirror I've gotta have faith If I wanna see clear Never gonna give you up Wish me love Or wishing well It takes two to make A thing go right If the [b]Fresh Prince Starts a fight Don't you worry For too long 'Cause you know These are the songs so thats it.... show or song? and top of that what episode/song?

i dont get why everybody likes lil wayne so much... he pisses me off so much. i will never like him. and which sample are you talking about? the one from testify?

lets just hope thats its jjfp and not ws....ya diggggggggggg

today at work this is what played on z100.... leona lewis (twice, once regular, once techno remix) love in this club (twice) 4 minutes (twice) ashlee simpson song (twice) some hispanic dance song with horns and whoop whoops..(twice) vanilla ice and.... summer time by dj jazzy jeff and the mother fcking prince!

i havent done a show without one, mainly becuase you can find anybody who can play the guitar in the suburbs hahaha and not many people with dj equiptment....... but now that i have been playing with a band, i like it alot. its more personality and a better live experiance

Erykah Badu- Otherside of the Game

thanks alot brakes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnY33KZUB68 so i saw lupe a while back and he did this, played kick push and half way through he did it over shook ones.. i have been thinking of doing this for a long time and now i did it!! so its my first remix and im prooud of it except that i didnt do much. hahah

i really like the movie plot and the director sounds like a good idea. actors seem good, but the writer is scaring me......

You cant fade me/JD gaffilin - Ice Cube

"if you really love me i will come back" - nas from hip hops voice i feel like there is going to be an age of bad rap, maybe another 5 years or some extended period of time... and then we will have a golden age when people cant take it any more

lets hope they dont use alot of crappy rappers to "celebrate" it. like little wayne or something
