**Rap ~ Retrospection** by chiogo(f): 2:46pm On Feb 22, 2008
Hehehe, y'all know i had to make a topic since i haven't made a single one on this rap section.This is basically to enlighten some of us

on 'Rap' history.For ex: I only know bout 2 or 3 songs by 2pac and he's s'pposed to be a 'world legend'. I know i cld go on youtube/google him but don't nobody

got time to read all that long stuff. So, i think this is a fun way of learnin' bout rap wink kind@ like the show, 'Hood Fab' but only prize we all gettin' is 'KNOWLEDGE'.

Here are some hints:
Album:                                                                                                                    Rap disses:

when was --------'s 1st album released??                                                                 who said ----------- in their rap diss??
what was d title of ---------'s album in ----- year??                                          --------- and ------- were involved in a beef in -------


                                                                        Important Events:
                                                                                        ------- was killed in -------??
                                                                   -------- rap group broke apart in ------- year??


Y'all get it?? And y'all cld include Naija raps (some people like me know nothin' bout naija rappers/rap)

Rules:
[size=20pt].[/size]Guessin' is allowed(u never know)
[size=20pt].[/size]If incorrect, original poster should give out the answer
[size=20pt].[/size]No trick questions, u gotta come correct(ie. get your facts straight)
[size=20pt].[/size] No beefin' up in here(if u have to, click on the '2 line diss' topic and knock urselves out) cool
[size=20pt].[/size] No unnecessary comments(u can ignore a question u do not wish to answer!!)


Hope this ain't too nerdy for y'all, i'm a nerd,lol.

And even a remix(this is tighest version)- Smitty ft. T-pain, Rick Ross & Junior Reid produced by none other than SCOTT STORRRCH!
Re: **Rap ~ Retrospection** by Wordsmith(m): 7:48am On Feb 23, 2008
@ chiogo,

R. Kelly

@ eldee,

lol, actually the name's Freaky Ty and not Tee. You tried though.

Fill in the gaps -

Take it for what it's worth, my birth was a blessing/
to live and die on earth ________________/
we each have a star, all we gotta do is find it/

and that line was spat by who?
Re: **Rap ~ Retrospection** by eldee(m): 10:02am On Feb 23, 2008
@podeep

@wordsmith

@topic
Take it for what it's worth my birth was a blessing
Sent to live and die on earth as a lesson
We each have a star all we have to do is find it
Once you do everyone sumfin sumfin sumfin (WHAT?)

I could swear that was from, 'And then there was X' - By DMX but i can't remeber the exact track. . .

Question
What's the name of this song?

The bullet goes back in the gun
The bullet hole's closin this chest of a nigga
Now he back to square one
Screamin, "Shoot don't please"
I put my fifth back on my hip
Re: **Rap ~ Retrospection** by Wordsmith(m): 10:42am On Feb 23, 2008
@ eldee,

Answer : Rewind by NaS from the album Illmatic! One of his sickest songs in my opinion!

Lol, u got it. The name of that DMX track was The Professional. The part missing was "and everyone who sees it will be blinded"

Q,
What was the Name of the album Canibus dropped in '05?
Re: **Rap ~ Retrospection** by eldee(m): 11:31am On Feb 23, 2008
@smith
It's Rewind, but it's from Stillmatic not Illmatic wink
that's my best NaS song cuz it was like he filmed sumn, played it backwards and described it in a poem. . .
that's one thing punchline rappers cant do, they have thier way with words but they can't manipulate stories cheesy

@topic
Answer: erm i'm not sure but i think it's 'rip the jacker'

Question
What is the name of the group Canibus is a member of?
Re: **Rap ~ Retrospection** by Wordsmith(m): 12:42pm On Feb 23, 2008
@ eldee,

actually it's "Mind Control". Rip the Jacker was sometime btw 01 and 02, can't remember.

Answer : Canibus was a member of T.H.E.M (The Heralds of Extreme Metaphors)
Re: **Rap ~ Retrospection** by chiogo(f): 3:03pm On Feb 23, 2008
