fair enough...
But how much better could the album have been if there were beats and rhymes like some of his recent freestyle joints...

eighties...underrated legend, not often talked about here...I'll give you a hint - this verse was used in two different songs (it was covered by a pretty well respected hip hop act in the early 2000s)...points will be awarded to either answer...
A mind designed to find a rhyme thats right on time
One step beyond and not behind the line
That separates dogs from divine
Take it as a caution, or a warning sign
Whether antonyms, words Im blending them
Homonyms, synonyms, good like m&ms
With polo and while hes slicing
Ill turn the mikes last name into tyson
My brain is like a factory constantly creating
Material stitch by stitch for decoration
Lyrics are fabrics, beat is the lining
My passion in rhyming is fashion designing
Now it gets odd it, cause people want to sport it
You bought it, if you didnt then you couldnt afford it
Poetry full of surprises, its like a game show
And my brain glows just like a rainbow
Rappers and poets they already know it
****** is a terror not a error and never will I stop reaching for better
Whether wheels of steel or reel to reel
***** will make you feel the real deal
I usually rap hardcore and I know
That yall thinking am I somehow semi, so
-
Whatever...it's not like he's going to make good music to accompany this attitude. I would rather listen to Biggie commit sin after sin on record than a conscious soulja boy record....
-
how can you compare charles hamilton to anthony? that's like spitting mozart in the face lol. anthony is brilliant.
whoa, a little harsh...just a totally different brand of artists...
-
The Wrath of Kane?
-
Too much Neptunes....even though I'm a pretty big fan of Pharrell and Chad. I think their mixtapes are where it's at...
-
Yeah the Clipse are pretty good...Wish they would rap over grittier beats from time to time tho'...
-
Yep!
-
oops misread the rules, I guess i win!!
late eighties...often considered one of the greatest mc's....2nd verse...picked an album track so it might be a bit hard...
o I prescribed her, something to revive
And surprise her, shes liver and much more wiser
Than the light I shine when my brain cells spark,
Come to me so we can glow in the dark
And soon, you can represent the moon
As long as I keep ya in tune
Ill tell ya who ya are and why ya here
Take it in stride cause it might take a year
Its funny - how time flies when ya havin fun
We got close and it was almost one
She kissed me slow, but you know how far a kiss can go
F*ck around and miss the show
So I told her to hold that thought real tight
We can finish where we left off later on tonite
Back to the scene of the crime on time
As they introduced the fiend of the rhyme
She stood with a birds-eye view of me
Thinkin of later on of what she would do to me
The back of the room I could see her eyes gloom
Patient, but hopin that the show was over soon
As the place was ripped in half, she made her way to the front row
So I said lets go
I packed my mic as they screamed for an encore
The speakers were blown, plus my mic was sore
Besides I got places to go, ladies to see
And she could tell me how crazy she was over me
We drove off - she said she liked the way that I performed
And couldnt wait to get soft and warm, I said,
Ive been watchin you, watchin me
Looks I received made it hard to mc
I can take a hint, so I knew that she
Wanted my agony agony ag-on-y in her bod-y
Showed her some sights, then I took her to the condo
She was pipin hot, but I kept my calm so
She asked how come I dont smile
I said, everythings fine, but Im in a new york state of mind!
As we reached the kingdom, she said bring some
Champagne, shell entertain then sing some
Sentimental, songs real gentle,
It hit the spot and you know where it went to
As we embraced I felt her heart pumpin
I knew she was in the mood for somethin
So I laid on my back and relaxed
It wasnt the perignon that made her collaspe
Over me
-
Ok, fine I'll give you that...lol.
Now Bart obviously posted a Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony track, but I'm not too familiar with their work so I cannot tell you the song name...
-
clipse?
Lol! For future reference to identify a Clipse verse, look for at least one reference to dealing cocaine...
Q-Tip - Gettin' up
the album in an almost undisputed rap classic...2nd verse...early nineties
It's been twenty-two long hard years of still strugglin
Survival got me buggin, but I'm alive on arrival
I peep at the shape of the streets
And stay awake to the ways of the world cause **** is deep
A man with a dream with plans to make Cream
Which failed; I went to jail at the age of 15
A young buck sellin drugs and such who never had much
Trying to get a clutch at what I could not... could not...
The court played me short, now I face incarceration
Pacin -- going up state's my destination
Handcuffed in back of a bus, forty of us
Life as a shorty shouldn't be so ruff
But as the world turns I learned life is hell
Living in the world no different from a cell
Everyday I escape from Jakes givin chase, sellin base
Smokin bones in the staircase
Though I don't know why I chose to smoke sess
I guess that's the time when I'm not depressed
But I'm still depressed, and I ask what's it worth?
Ready to give up so I seek the Old Earth
Who explained working hard may help you maintain
to learn to overcome the heartaches and pain
We got stickup kids, corrupt cops, and crack rocks
and stray shots, all on the block that stays hot
Leave it up to me while I be living proof
To kick the truth to the young black youth
But shorty's running wild smokin sess drinkin beer
And ain't trying to hear what I'm kickin in his ear
Neglected, but now, but yo, it gots to be accepted
That what? That life is hectic
-
Nice one Turn!!!
Ok this might be kinda hard...
um...2000ish...rap duos first album...underground classic...first verse
"Give me the fortune, keep the fame," said my man Louis
I agreed, know what he mean because we live the truest lie
I asked him why we follow the law of the bluest eye
He looked at me, he thought about it
Was like, "I'm clueless, why?"
The question was rhetorical, the answer is horrible
Our morals are out of place and got our lives full of sorrow
And so tomorrow comin later than usual
Waitin' on someone to pity us
While we findin beauty in the hideous
They say money's the root of all evil but I can't tell
YouknowhatImean, pesos, francs, yens, cowrie shells, dollar bills
Or is it the mindstate that's ill?
Creating crime rates to fill the new prisons they build
Over money and religion there's more blood to spill
The wounds of slaves in cotton fields that never heal
What's the deal?
A lot of cats who buy records are straight broke
But my language universal they be recitin my quotes
While R&B singers hit bad notes, we rock the boat
of thought, that my man Louis' statements just provoked
Caught up, in conversations of our personal worth
Brought up, through endangered species status on the planet Earth
Survival tactics means, bustin gats to prove you hard
Your firearms are too short to box with God
Without faith, all of that is illusionary
Raise my son, no vindication of manhood necessary

Lol, I really like the album, it's a real feel good, walk in the sunshine...break dance in the middle of the street kind of music...
-
So good....I could really use an album full of this stuff!
Baatin of SLum Village Died
in Caught in the Middle
Posted
I doubt many people will understand why I feel this way...but Slum Village's Fantastic Vol.2 is one of my favorite albums of all time. There were amazingly smooth beats courtesy of jay Dee and even one from Pete Rock...amazing guest appearances, from the likes of Kurrupt, Q-Tip, DJ Jazzy Jeff himself, Common, Busta Rhymes and D'Angelo...and T3 and Baatin weren't exactly the most complex with their world play or rhyme schemes, but they had a way of rapping with so much style and confidence that even their least profound rhymes would stay stuck in my head for days....and they are ridiculously quotable if you pay enough attention. The content was pretty much about womanizing and materialism, but it was so unique that even during my "conscious rap" phase I listened to it over and over again.
I think like millions of people all over the world, just discovered "Off the Wall", I think some hip hop heads should discover this album and realize it's worth....it's sad that two of the people who made it this magical aren't with us anymore.
