  6. Wildwildwest.

    Posted

    In my opinion I think "Wild Wild West" is better than "Men In Black" as a soundtrack song and the video was a classic, one of the best he's ever done, Stevie Wonder's playing the piano in it, the dances are cool, and Kool Moe Dee with Dru Hill held it down as well. :thumb:

  9. 51 Essential Albums For Your Collection

    in Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince

    Posted

    What's up y'all I recently checked out the September issue of Vibe magazine and I found this interesting piece mentioning 51 CD's that are vital for your music collection, on the most part I liked the picks that they made, but I noticed that they didn't include any of JJFP's albums on there, they could have easily included "He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper" 'cause that was the 1st hip-hop album to ever win a Grammy and set the table for the legendary career of JJFP, it doesn't seem right that they mentioned "Paid In Full", "Criminal Minded", "It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back","The Great Adventures Of Slick Rick" and "Straight Outta Compton", then not mention "He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper". :werd:

  12. Shyne on MTV

    :werd: There's a great interview with Shyne in the September issue of Vibe, he mentions that P.Diddy was a snake and didn't tell the truth in his trial, so P.Diddy got out of prison but Shyne didn't. :bang: He's getting his life together so I think that his music will be more mature, I might consider buying his album when it drops as well.

  13. Shaq Got Traded To The Miami Heat

    Damn I'm happy about my Bulls now, there's no doubt about it that they're going to the playoffs in '05, they just traded Jamal Crawford to the Knicks to get one of the best defensive centers of all-time in Dikembe Mutombo! :werd: :hsnono: There's no doubt about it that Jamal Crawford is very young and talented, but Dikembe Mutombo still could play at least 3 more years of solid defense that a lot of guys in the league can't play so I think that the Bulls will do well with this deal, they also got Othella Harrington too in the trade, who's also a solid role player, if they play like a team sky's the limit, they could do what the Pistons did this year, and if Pippen decides to play next year, he could still provide quality minutes off the bench, since he can't play 30-40 minutes a game anymore with his injuries.

    [quote=bigted,Jun 29 2004, 08:23 AM]Another battle that we have forgot to mention is KRS-ONE vs. Nelly. All real hip-hop fans know that KRS-ONE destroyed Nelly wit the song "Ova Here", while pop fans continued to ignore that and bought Nelly's garbage album that summer, which sold more than Born To Reign. :cussing:[/quote]
    Oh yeah I wanted to show y'all the lyrics to that song "OVA HERE", check it out:
    [url="http://www.ohhla.com/anonymous/krs_one/mix_tape/ova_here.krs.txt"]OVA HERE Lyrics[/url]
    Artist: KRS-One
    Album: The Mix Tape
    Song: Ova Here
    Typed by: Gemini_2050@Hotmail.com

    [Intro]
    The real hip hop is ova (Here!!!!)
    The real hip hop is ova (Here!!!!)
    The real hip hop is ova (Here!!!!)
    The real hip hop is ova (Here!!!!)

    [Interlude]
    Blaow Blaow!!! Blaow Blaow!!! Clear em out clear 'em out!!! Word!

    [Verse 1]
    Yo Nelly! You ain't Fo'Reel and you ain't Universal
    Your whole style sounds like a N'Sync commercial
    Ignoramus, I'm the baddest with the mic apparatus
    Challengin the God of rap is madness, I'll snatch your status
    With this ugly lookin billboard you could stop them
    But I got enough albums to make my own top ten
    You limited, like the spread of traffic
    You bite my style off the radio so when you speak you bet I hear the static
    You better Chillout like Chuck, I kick like three Norrises
    One of my sixteen bar rhymes is eight of your choruses
    Of course it is ridiculous
    Watch out, I begin to curve indispicuous
    Gotcha! On your, hands and knees
    Ain't it about time for some real emcees?

    [Chorus]
    The real hip hop is ova (Here!!!!)
    The real hip hop is ova (Here!!!!)
    The real hip hop is ova (Here!!!!)
    The real hip hop is ova (Here!!!!)

    [Verse 2]
    (Uh!) Uh! We on the hunt tonight
    When you see me comin, I don't front I fight
    People say I'm contradictin, cause I'm all about peace
    To say the least with a violent history
    It ain't no mystery these rappers wanna get with me
    My people don't see that all they hear is stop hittin me, huh
    Stop beatin me Chris, you want to help my career Nelly?
    Well you can help if you don't exist, huh
    I think it's 'bout time we stop these pop rappers
    **** these pop rappers, hip hop does matter to me
    Does it matter to you? My crew
    If it does, you know what the hell to do
    Throw your guns in the air, pump it like yeah
    Let these bitch ass rappers know we in here
    Go to the shows huh, boo 'em off stage
    Tell 'em KRS told you they at the end of they days
    Let me tell you let's give hip hop a lift
    And don't buy Nelly's album on June twenty fifth
    That'll send a message to all them sellouts
    House nigga rapper, your bottom done fell out
    You don't even know how
    I told you I wasn't talkin about you then, but I'm talkin about you now!
    Blaow! one to the kness, blaow one goes right through
    Even St. Louis don't like you!!!!

  21. Jesus Walks

    in Caught in the Middle

    Posted

    That's the sad thing about society these days, you get criticized if you talk about God like if it's a curse or somethin', Kanye West has done a great thing for hip-hop by releasing this track as a single 'cause he's speakin' from his heart in it, it doesn't matter what religion u r u gotta recognize that! :werd:
    "So here go my single dog radio needs this
    They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus
    That means guns, sex, lies, video tapes
    But if I talk about God my record won't get played Huh?"

  22. Takin' It Back For A Minute

    in Caught in the Middle

    Posted · Edited by bigted

    “Taking It Back For A Minute”
    Chorus:
    I'm takin' it back for a minute
    Before I track overwhelmness
    Later on you'll say that you felt this
    But right now we attack with plenty of steps
    Never lack the various sense
    When I take it back for a minute
    To the days where rap made sense

    Verse One:
    M.C's forgot the heart of a rhyme
    When they speed all out of line
    The musical key has to be a raw route of design
    Or else you'll be all out of ya mind
    Not all the things of the past
    We should forget
    We don't have to live in the past
    But we shouldn't forget
    Or else we'll feel the drag in our ass
    'Cause we lose our purpose
    Lookin' like fools lyin' on the surface
    But never findin' a fuse to try a movement
    The music we choose can't analyze pollution
    'Cause those foolish lies you're usin'
    Give the wrong message to our children
    The aggression can fuse to devour the building
    In other words, a foundation formed to occur no explanation
    That has no thought behind it
    What lesson is taught from rhymin'?
    If your battle you fought's just dyin'
    Where's your handle to the ball when you're not tryin'
    Turnovers overrule the equation
    That tool of debating
    Is jacking fool punks hating
    How're you sayin' that's outdated
    You can't just stay in 2004
    You have to remember the game before
    Even if it was a nightmare, you can't act like you were just born
    Or else you'll end up with a nerve just sore
    You can't occur to perform
    Overnight with the wrong recite
    Of words from hype
    Just pickin' up the damn mic
    Is the stuff that rips punks to dash on the hike
    'Cause I ain't new anymore to this script
    Check it, I've been on to scorch the hittin'
    The art of performance
    Since the start of 2000
    And the year now is
    2K4, there ain't B2K no more
    'Cause groups concerned with pay are scorched
    That's why there ain't many legends
    Like Boyz II Men, New Edition, or Run-DMC
    'Cause they want just money
    Management's too out of hand and cocky
    You can't just run the rout of the jam to stop me
    'Cause you think I'm going, but I'm going left
    And I'm overflowin' mics, my flow is def
    Go back to bed little tykes, I'll put the throw over ya head
    Yeah, that's the ill rhyme, so now you know every night I hit
    Never any chill in my life, 'cause I grow wit my mind lit
    With new ideas but I recall what I did
    I never screw up twice, I ball wit excitement
    Of knowledge of strife and all percerverence
    My time is on clearness
    My watch to shine isn't goin' off, hear this
    There's no verse out of line, no queerness
    When the chorus isn't mine, it's all immitation, zero creation
    Y'all wishin' I'm gonna hear all you're sayin'
    But when you're stuck in today
    You're just in a daze
    No future in the game
    See you have to know your past
    So don't try to go so fast
    Don't listen? You'll go regrettin'
    Forget your history of your past
    And your life goes in a flash
    Nobody will bother to help you direction
    Where is inflection
    Of clarity
    With a perspective?
    That's so warily
    The wrong sense
    Is wack, you'll have no air to breathe
    In your chest
    If you forget to breathe
    That's the same equivilant
    By you not tryin' to achieve
    This is relevant
    if you know what happened, think of where you lead
    With experience
    It's always possible to believe
    That's it, you n'ah mean
    [Repeat Chorus 3X 'til end]

  24. DiSiLLUSiONED - lyrics

    in Caught in the Middle

    Yo mfuqua, if you think that those verses are long, I'm gonna post one of my verses later that'll make Prince's verses seem short! :kekeke: It don't matter how long or short a verse is, it means no difference, if you got a lot to say, don't cut yourself short, sometimes I have so much **** on my mind I'll somtimes end up writing a song wit three 50-bar verses, while when I 1st started it was struggle to write a 15 or 16 bar verse, I came a LONG way. Anyway Prince I felt those verses don't change anything about it, you are very talented, keep doing ya thing! :thumb: These days there's too much focus on beats, there should be more focus on lyrics, and that's the problem these days in hip-hop, if you make an album with dope beats and not much lyrics that're relevant, it should be a wack album 'cause there should be a balance of both. That's what makes rappers like Nas, LL Cool J, Rakim, KRS-ONE, FP, 2Pac, Biggie, and Chuck D so great 'cause they focus on lyricism in their own ways of making songs, whether it's a conscious rap song from KRS-ONE like "Higher Level" or a song that shows comedy from FP like "Parents Just Don't Understand", you can feel the lyrics, whether they make you laugh, dance, get hyped, or chill, they make you feel somethin', but these days when you hear a song they don't make you feel anything, 'cause the lyrics are mediocre.
