Neck Pony Nation!!!

[BuhdathaShooda]

I rap

[watermock]

"I got me a starters pistol and da alter-nata off da caa, don't mess with me"...the ant.

Don't make me call Snoop on yo asses.

[BuhdathaShooda]

i got a cd and everything its just some local type **** though throughout my town

[alkemical]

like curb freestylers?  I saw some in philly selling demo tapes a few times... some of those guys got the real skills... and some guys aren't just about the bling & the flash... some of those guys write about social issues going on with the country, etc...  pretty slick if ya ask me

[Bronco Nole]

The coolest thing I have seen lately are those freestyle competitions on The Source
Rap City on BET also has some underground every now and then
This is where a lot of guys get their starts
I have seen both Eminem and DMX on there, so you know that these guys had to work their ways up from the just rapping on the street corners to going platinum
The best thing to spot the new kats is to get your hands on some mixtapes, local or otherwise
Oh, and by the way, you are talking to the afficionado of rap  8)

[BuhdathaShooda]

yea i know a lot about computers so i just use programs on there and the burner to make the CD...me and my dude dont talk about all that flashy **** either but we dont talk about worldy problems either we are just downright nasty like we've gotten death threats for cappin rhymes at people and everyone's parents hate us haha it's cool

[alkemical]

Nole,

I stopped being into the rap scene somewhere in '96 ish i think it was, i had always listened to most anything and still will listen to some rap, but it's gotta be good and not the recycled i got cash & mercedez raps all the time...

That's why i dug tribe & guru, etc....

[BuhdathaShooda]

i hear you

[Bronco Nole]

Oh I more than feel you ames
Nobody is more dissatisfied with the rap game nowadays than I am
It almost seems that can separate it into the "I am going to murder you and all your manz too" East Coast rap, the "Let's get crunk" dirty South rap, and the "Check all my b*tches and hoes" West Coast rap, with a little intermingling within
You know how sad things are getting when Nelly and Ja Rule, two of the fakest rappers in the game, are pushing the most units
Even my boy Nas, one of the greatest street poets of the early 90's, is going commercial now too
When I saw him in that music video with Jennifer Lopez I had a permanent frown plastered on my face  
Even with that as it is, there are plenty of artists that are not to be slept on
Aceyalone, Nappy Roots, Dilated Peoples, the Root, Common, Afu-Ra, Pharoah Monche. . .these guys get no credit, but they have at least 10 times the lyricism of people that are going multi-platinum
The most saddening thing of all is for me to be driving and some white guy with bleached hair pulls up next to me blaring Eminem, the very same Eminem who barbecues the "White America" that listens to him and tries to emulate and emphasize with him, and then gives me some kind of a head nod and says "Word"
I agree with you that rap is getting sad, but the community that spawned it might be getting even sadder
Geez, I am only 18 but sometimes I feel like some wizened old-timer  
Blah, I could go on for this all day

[SJ Bronco]

I hear you ames. Nothing original comming from the new katz these days. I get tired of the next #1 hit, "the same ol' crap" by Mc Wack attack. Hip hop is gone downhill since the mid 90's. Nothing is about the music anymore. Its kinda depressing that our generation spent all that time gaining acceptance for hip hop and then the new katz just run with it, making pop hop. Drop me some E-40 anyday. At least he still drops some mad beats behind that original flow.

[Bronco Nole]

Drop me some E-40 anyday

Have you heard anything off his new album "Grit N' Grind" SJ?
That album is seeing some heavy rotation in my CD player  
Piiiiiiiimps, hustlas  

[SJ Bronco]

I got about every track he's dropped. I think his hottest track still is "pop your collar" and running right behind it would be the "To whom this may concern" wich blasts about everyone out on top these days. But yeah, the new Album is getting seriouse heat. Of course im from the yeah-o so he gets love from here right from the start.

[Alkazar]

Screw all this Rap crap, just give me some sweet ol' Country music!!!

[Robb]

All my rowdy girl friends have settled down, and it's all I can do to wipe away my frown, I'm not lying, I'm crying, and if you don't call me, babby I'll be dying...

[alkemical]

for me that's pretty much it, then when i started writing - i had to write about what i knew, and rap didn't fit it.  That's when i got into rock/metal... I had always listened to old stuff like CCR/Zep/Sabbath then i got into pantera, megadeth, korn (the 1st korn album) (yeah i know quite a turn) but really those guys that are true to their medium speak of real life that i could then releate too.  

I couldn't relate to pimpin and bustin' caps...  That's why i still listen to tribe - just about life in the city....

[BuhdathaShooda]

yea that's why my raps are different i dont talk about the **** everyone else yaps about but i just rap what i know when it comes to freestylin though i've said a lot of fake ****

[defenseman]

RAP? What's that?............dman

[Paulie Emm]

Almost anything that invloves Dre is good for me.

Ever hear of a rapper named Choclair?

[BuhdathaShooda]

dman im not gonna answer that because im sure you have an insult lined up alreayd that you thought about earlier or somethin

choclair sounds familiar but no i dont think so

[BuhdathaShooda]

[Midnight Blue]

Tradition holds that this thread has to be on the main board, Page 1, and near the top to ensure good luck for the team.

Was this thread that way last year?

Congrats Nute! :hooray:I talk to ya later!  Tonight I'm going to see TOOL   Yeah

[Bronco Nole]

That's cool
I went to see a Tool concert a couple of weeks ago in July
The band that they had opening for them was wild too, but the name escapes me
There was so much stuff going around you would think that it was a drug convention though
