Boyz II Men and JJFP should do a track together and release it as a single to revibe each other's success 'cause that's what Boyz II Men did for LL after "14 Shots To The Dome" they did "Hey Lover" and LL won a Grammy in '96. "Born To Reign" would've done better if Boyz II Men were on it instead of Tra-Knox and Jazzy Jeff produced it, they could've called it:"Born To Reign: Kings Of Philly" ! :rock:

Jeff is the hardest working DJ in the game! :switch:

Yeah Joe you're provin' how much of a hypocrite you are When you don't persue your talent up to par And if ever do go multi platinum it'll be 'cause you sold out 'Cause you'd rather sell your sould just to be rich and live all foul That's selfish and not what a true artist is about You'd rather sleep with prosititutes Who have scandelistic views And just wanna take all your **** from you I don't take x I only sleep with women that I greatly respect And want to make something out their life But I'm too young to settle down for a wife I'm all about keeping my priorities in line Everything comes in due time I do everything with a plan Unlike suckers like you who act like the world will just go in their hands Without putting in work You'd rather put out a gimmick record To be a trend But me I'm doing the opposite I'm doing something that'll live on after I'm dead Like Biggie I know sky's the limit My legacy will show my life after death Every rhyme I put my signiture on Is the design that I scriptured strong So in this debate, I won't discriminate, your rhymes are a disgrace I'm gonna take a **** in your face If you don't shut your mouth soon, How many times do I gotta knock you? My life is not all about numbers, It's about bringin' out the wonder Of how I'm gonna save the hip-hop game from drownin' under You chose to drown with it when you ain't about **** Like Big Daddy Kane I ain't half steppin' If you're smart Big Ted is the name you have to invest in I'm puttin' an end to your retarted questions And fan4ever when you retailiate I'll teach you like your professor is

:ditto: You were too late fuq, I was in there for a lil' while and Da Brakes came in but then went out before I could holla at him, then you go in when I left already.

:ditto: Don't sweat it man, it'll come in time, the main focus right now is just keepin' your flow and delivey tight. Btw, I noticed that me, you, and Da Brakes are all online right now, let's head to the chatroom and have a lyricist chat if y'all are still here! :thumb:

They're not related but for a while I actually thought that they were cousins after I heard "Take It Off" on the G.O.A.T. where LL said: "To my cousin Will Hold your head, nigga chill" :ditto: BTW, I didn't see it, was he talking about getting people out to vote? He always does things like that, we'll probably see Chuck D go on some political shows too talking about getting peeps out to vote with the election coming up, since they're both positive role models in hip-hop.

You did well delivering them rhymes. It's cool to use beats by older cats 'caue their songs inspire us, just like when they used James Brown's beats back in the day, but it's cool to come up with your own beats when you become known that way younger cats will get inspired!

I noticed how fan4ever hasn't responded yet, I guess he's dead And now I'm putting the finishing touches of placing Joe next to him At least fan4ever went down quiet, when you suck it's better to be silent I don't like to provoke out violence, but when you flow all them lies in your lyrics I get angered by it, so now this is the last moment I'm sick of your comebacks when I'm blowing out your dumbass You're a broke ass when you spend all your doe on crack You're in a gang of gay rappers wearing clothes that don't match If you ever make an album it's getting thrown in the trash You never get in the studio with them booty flows Security will make you start running home You're gonna wish that I was still your potna 'Cause I'm fully equipped and you have no armour And if you reply again you're gonna get your arm broke Nobody will confuse you with Fat Joe, when you always have crack up your nose You're gonna die of overdose And for your question on my race, I'm a black man If you ever step in my face, you gonna feel the blast of my jab And I'll rip off your legs, leavin' you more pain than if you were only stabbed When girls spread their legs I'm like Keith Sweat when I "Get Up On It" While you fiend for nuts more than an elephant, I see you're trying to get on my dick But sorry fag, I don't get down like this This battle's now finished and the crown's on my head! I just rattled clown competition, y'all got knocked out by Big Ted

Check out this freestyle I did on philadelphiaeagles.com a few months ago about the Eagles with Eagle fans on the Eagles' Message Board:[url="http://eagles.hosttown.com/index.php?act=ST&f=2&t=146971&hl="]Eagles Rap[/url] I remember I did a football freestyle about the Eagles' against some my friends I went to school with that're Giant fans on the schoolbus when I was in 11th grade. before the the playoffs in January '02, this was one my favorite lines that I still remember that I said: "That our opponents we supply slaughter Especially after hits from Jeramiah Trotter"

[quote=JumpinJack AJ,Sep 16 2004, 08:14 PM]Kel Spencer could be one of the hottest things out. My best way 2 discribe him would be 2 throw Fresh Prince and Rakim in2 a blender, a dash of KRS-One, and a pintch of non-Deathrow 2Pac.[/quote] If you do that and add a lil' bit of Nas' and Slick Rick's storytelling you'd get me!

I think that MC Lyte is underrated as an mc, she's the female version of KRS-ONE, she's been nothing but positive to the game since she came out in '87 and she's still rapping too, she got an aggressive flow, she could take out Lil' Kim and Foxy Brown and even a lot of guys too, she's one of the best mcs of all time, male or female! :touche: Talib Kweli is hip-hop's version of Stephon Marbury(they're both from Brooklyn too in case you didn't know), he has a lot of talent and has been quietly consistant for over the past 6 years dating back to when he was with Mos Def as the duo "Blackstarr" and that album with Hi-Tek "Reflection Eternal" is one of the best hip-hop albums I ever heard, it was straight hardcore spitting, "Quality" was great too but "Reflection Eternal" had more lyricism, but anything that he spits is better than the rest of the game, he's one his way to being one of the all time greats. People also sleep on Wyclef Jean, he's such a unique hip-hop artist, he's a great lyricist, but he's also a rapper that can actually sing well, and he drops that Carribean dance hall flavor in his music, he hasn't gone platinum since he released "The Carnival", but he always drops originality whenever he releases his albums, he showed how aggressive of an mc he is on "The Masquerade" and he showed how great of a singer he is on "The Preacher's Son". I think that he's the best hip-hop artist that was in The Fugees and that says something considering how great they were.

It's dope! :thumb: I wrote a song called "If I Had A Gun" back in April of '03 when I was still a senior in high school, I saw that some of my friends were turnin' their backs on me, so I wrote this when I was pissed off, it made me feel better. I'm just gonna post a piece of it here for y'all to check out! Verse One: I don't wanna hold a grudge Why don't y'all show me love I try to enlighten you and you don't give a **** You just like to fight and fool, then give me a shove But now if you ever touch me Know how that's foul and not funny Why are you tryin' to make my heart turn cold? I'm not tryin' to start turnin' old And become a bitter soul My innocence has disappeared My perdicaments have appeared Into my decisions to rap clear Instead of blind and unguided I'm no longer a child But don't make me turn vile You can't determine anything that'll make my soul gone I saw a lot of things that are raw I don't discusss them all And I learned to grasp on tall 'Cause I don't want my life to end tomorrow I can't take all of this sorrow Of the world that doesn't care How much love is there If I been comin' up shorthanded Into what I've been planning Doin' something the right way has been hard and demanding If I chose the wrong path I could have fulfilled them more fast But my life could have gone in a flash If I was trying to live fast I'm tired of hearing what these punks have These long days won't last I ain't gonna go crash Good things will become a blessing When it takes longer to get them I'll be willing to cherish them So I shouldn't be thinkin' negativeness But... Chorus: If I had a gun In my hand And you called me a pussy How would that be fun? You would ruin my plans And I would go to the penetentury Fortunately I don't have one I know how to be a man You should feel lucky 'Cause without shootin' a gun Makes me a bigger man And you the pussy When I could beat ya without one

I agree with you about Treach, he gets overlooked a lot, Vinnie holds his own too in Naughty By Nature, they need to be put up there with Run-DMC and Public Enemy as the best groups in hip-hop history, they rep 'Jersey well! I think KRS-ONE doesn't get enough credit for all he's done for hip-hop by the music industry, he's dropped 13 albums in 17 years in the game, including 4 in the last 4 years so he ain't slowin' down, on top of that he does ministry as the head of The Temple Of Hip-Hop which teaches the hip-hop nation about God, and he writes books too like H.E.A.L. and many countless others about this, but the mainstream doesn't pay attention to him though, if they did the game would be a lot stronger now, he's a legendary m.c., but he's even more intelligent as a person, when he finally retires many years from now, he'll go out as the greatest of all time, he'll get his due, even if it's after his death, people'll recognize how legendary he has been!

[quote=DevilsJim89,Sep 12 2004, 11:03 PM]LL Cool J ft. P. Diddy - "After School" awesome throwback track even though i hate p. diddy..he comes through.[/quote] It'd been better if FP was on it though instead of P. Diddy and they coulda made a throwback video like "So Fresh"! Right now I'm listening to Keith Sweat Featuring Kut Klose "Get Up On It".

That's what's so great about hip-hop, reality gets expressed so well through lyrical expression, and I was listening to Grnadmaster Flash and the Furious Five "The Message" and it still relates well to what's going on today even though it came out over 20 years ago, we need more songs like this to bring hip-hop back to where it needs to be!

1st off fan4ever I'm far from a mess When I stay organized with the words I deliver in this contest The basis of this is cleverness over the ignorance of your deliverance One minute you claim to be the hardest but then you start quivering Like your having a seizure That rap **** to me is time of leizure I don't stressed out over this battle 'cause you won't do nothin' if you run into me in 'Jers But if you try something you'll get thrown in the Atlantic 'Cause I do damage like Hurricane Francis And don't talk **** about my dad Or I'll stomp your bitchass You're more like the Heat before Shaq You're just an average mc in the pack And Joe I didn't leave you out I'm gonna hit ya with so many blows you'll be bleeding out your mouth You don't have any power to go diss rappers now You may not like 50 but you're still a wanksta You're a wannabe, not a killer gangsta You lack speed and stamina Don't persue the path to be a rapper 'Cause you have less energy than an old man that has to take Viagra I'm a six footer that's in excellent shape From doing callestetics and lifting weights You're no competition that'll get in my way The pope would recognize that you're a hypocrite So he'd beat you with his walking stick Big Ted and Hero got the statistics that lead the league 'Cause when you're rockin' the supreme flow you're an elite mc If this is a war I'd be the general to step up and lead And if you don't take orders your ass will get jumped by me You can't even battle, 'cause like Deion Sanders you can't tackle But you're only 16, so that's embarassment since your career's over before it began Next you'll be writing a love letter to fan4ever asking him to be your man While your jerking off to a "Playgirl" magazine in your hand Just shut the **** up 'cause we don't wanna hear about your gay stories Goin' to prison and takin' it up the butt is clearly what you consider a day of glory But that doesn't live up to me being a leader Without beggin' like u I get digits from cheerleaders Oh I forgot you like guys anyway since you're a queer

I've been an Eagle fan since I was 7 when Randall Cunningham and Hershall Walker were on the team. There's been some tough times over that time, especially when they went 3-13 in '98 but the past few years have been great since they drafted Donovan Mcnabb, fans were wanting Ricky Williams but we already had Duce Staley (who's now with the Steelers) and we were pretty weak at quarterback so drafting Mcnabb was logical, and look now Ricky Williams retired already and Mcnabb is a premiere quarterback. Signing TO was the best thing that the Eagles could do now Mcnabb has more weapons to work with, but getting rid of both Taylor and Vincent at cornerback might come to hurt them late in the year, but we have the best safties in the NFL Brian Dawkins and Michael Lewis, so I'm not worried. I think that the Jets might make a run at the Super Bowl this year for the AFC, they're gonna be the surprise team(they'll play the Steelers(Duce and Bettis is gonna be the best 1-2 running back combination this year, the Eagles shoulda kept Duce 'cause the Steelers have "The Bus" already but now they have an even stronger ground game with Staley) or Patriots(they have a lot of depth but won't make the Super Bowl) in the AFC championship game) and the Eagles will get over the hump and make the Super Bowl by beating the Falcons(if Vick is healthy) or Packers in the NFC Championship game.

The battle's not finished yet, let me go for mine Here we go... Look fan4ever you don't own the board This battle ain't over until the forum hands me an award You don't like to battle 'cause when you flow people get bored If this was a battle on stage you'd get booed off Along with Joe, who just sings songs for hoes There's a reason why people hate your flows, what you create doesn't hold Up to my standards, you rap's dying from cancer You better get down on your knees and say some damn prayers 'Cause low self-esteem won't make survive in this damn world You want to talk like you're tough But then all of a sudden you back out like a bust I'm smokin' your ass out like a blunt This is a battle, come on now you can't yell out enough This is what you came for We're supposed to retaliate back and forth You don't rap up to that form I'm a big guy so I'm gonna take the board When that ball comes off the rim I don't think you have balls since you have a period I guess you're not much of a man, you're a bitch If you can't stand to take competition and criticism And I know how your gonna respond back by saying you're gonna kill me But it's your ass that'll fry if you drill me 'Cause I'll come haunt your ass like a ghost if I pass And it doesn't matter how fast you go trying to dash As this generation's conscious rapper I bring true lyrics on the rhymes I blast I don't try to get fans But they just come to me like your girlfriends I'm gonna keep on battlin' until Tim puts the lock on this Everyone here's frontin' but I'm droppin' the hottest **** Like KRS-ONE "knowledge reigns supreme over nearly everyone" when I'm rockin' For all I care y'all can "Hate Me Now" like Nastradomous There's no way Teddy's found stopping this That's my other nickname but my real name's Gracia Reppin' the ways every time as a real hip-hoppa!

You gotta have confidance in yourself or else your nothing, people can give you a lot of praise but if you don't believe in yourself you won't make anything hot, that's the most important thing to remember. I like this song better than the one you posted last week, your making progress, keep it up! :thumb:

It's not as great as the OG by Nas "Life's a Bitch" but it's dope though, great storytelling there, all 3 stories could really happen which is sad but true, it makes u think.

The battle's over? :dunno: It was just getting fun, why don't we keep flowin' and get more lyricists in it like Fuq and Da Brakes if they wanna.

I like those poems Kimmie! :thumb: I could tell you wrote them from your heart. I like to write peoms too once in a while about things that go on in my life and I feel they're more personal than my songs i write, myabe one day I might post some of them so y'all could get to know me better.

I wouldn't waste my money on that crap! I don't even wanna waste time thinking about him 'cause to me he ain't a rapper anymore, he's just singing love songs like you know who! :ditto: I borrowed "Country Grammar" from my friend and thought it was wack so I never bought it, but if I were you, I'd toss those Nelly CDs in the garbage 'cause they don't deserve a spot in my collection.

What's up y'all I came in from work today and watched some NFL games, my favorite team is the Philadelphia Eagles. Does anyone here watch NFL Football? I'm just curious to know to see if we could have a football chat here. Peace!

I'm feeling that song, you got a lot of talent, you write with a lot of emotion and have a unique writing style, keep it up! :clap:
