Honourable Mention to Chuck D: The reason why i used to H.E.R.

 

[Knowledge]

I prefer Notorious BIG.

It's amazing how many lines Jay Z has bitten from him.

And it's amazing that Biggie/Puffy stole the beat from Juicy of Pete Rock.
What goes around comes around.

I thought Common Did I used to love her.

Hard to say...Kool Keith perhaps.

Surprised no one has mentioned Rakim yet.

As for right now, I'm a fan of One Be Lo...his stuff is worth checking out.


Yeah, Charli 2na is great...but I actually prefer listening to Zaakir.

You Checked One Be Lo's new cd Sonogram?

Common - I Used To Love H.E.R.

I met this girl, when I was ten years old
And what I loved most she had so much soul
She was old school, when I was just a shorty
Never knew throughout my life she would be there for me
Ont he regular, not a church girl she was secular
Not about the money, no studs was mic checkin her
But I respected her, she hit me in the heart
A few new york niggaz, had did her in the park
But she was there for me, and I was there for her
Pull out a chair for her, turn on the air for her
And just cool out, cool out and listen to her
Sittin on a bone, wishin that I could do her
Eventually if it was meant to be, then it would be
Because we related, physically and mentally
And she was fun then, I’d be geeked when she’d come around
Slim was fresh yo, when she was underground
Original, pure untampered and down sister
Boy I tell ya, I miss her
Verse two:
Now periodically I would see
Ol girl at the clubs, and at the house parties
She didn’t have a body but she started gettin thick quick
Did a couple of videos and became afrocentric
Out goes the weave, in goes the braids beads medallions
She was on that tip about, stoppin the violence
About my people she was teachin me
By not preachin to me but speakin to me
In a method that was leisurely, so easily I approached
She dug my rap, that’s how we got close
But then she broke to the west coast, and that was cool
Cause around the same time, I went away to school
And I’m a man of expandin, so why should I stand in her way
She probably get her money in l.a.
And she did stud, she got big pub but what was foul
She said that the pro-black, was goin out of style
She said, afrocentricity, was of the past
So she got into r&b hip-house bass and jazz
Now black music is black music and it’s all good
I wasn’t salty, she was with the boys in the hood
Cause that was good for her, she was becomin well rounded
I thought it was dope how she was on that freestyle ********
Just havin fun, not worried about anyone
And you could tell, by how her t***ies hung
Verse three:
I might’ve failed to mention that the ******** was creative
But once the man got you well he altered the native
Told her if she got an energetic gimmick
That she could make money, and she did it like a dummy
Now I see her in commercials, she’s universal
She used to only swing it with the inner-city circle
Now she be in the burbs lickin rock and dressin hip
And on some dumb ********, when she comes to the city
Talkin about poppin glocks servin rocks and hittin switches
Now she’s a gangsta rollin with gangsta bitches
Always smokin blunts and gettin drunk
Tellin me sad stories, now she only ********s with the funk
Stressin how hardcore and real she is
She was really the realest, before she got into showbiz
I did her, not just to say that I did it
But I’m committed, but so many niggaz hit it
That she’s just not the same lettin all these groupies do her
I see niggaz slammin her, and takin her to the sewer
But i’ma take her back hopin that the ******** stop
Cause who I’m talkin bout y’all is hip-hop

Chuck D is the reason why i used to love H.E.R....meaning why i used to love Hip Hop

You Checked One Be Lo's new cd Sonogram?

Yeah, and it's a pretty good album I have to say...

There are no obvious 'singles' (it's more of a 'headphone album' as they say) and there's a lot to take in...but it's definitely worth the time and One Be Lo's laid-back style makes it that much easier to listen to.

Check out the the pete rock remix of Decepticons. Classic soul brother.

As for best rapper. Jay Z then Common. Having said that nothing can nor ever will touch Illmatic-era Nas.

 

[CURVE]

I thought that was the Sugar Hill Gang with rappers delight - Rapture is pretty crap really "men from Mars eating cars!!"

I admit, the Rap part of the song isn't all that great, but part where Deb is singing is so so sweet.

 

[Art Corvelay]

I'm a big Nas fan personally. Illmatic is a classic, and Stillmatic is pretty damn good.

Don't really like any new artists like Kanye West or The Game etc etc.....

Gangstarr are pretty damn good, Premier always brings his best beats, and suits Guru's monotonous tone to a tee.

There's been a lot of great rappers over the years.....

 

[NICK THE PIE MAN]

Eminem, Dr Dre, Royce Da 5'9, Jay Z.

The old group of NWA. Were brilliant.
