I'm on my toes . . . anticipating the rap boy of the millenium

Easy bruv. I'm sure your shots were aimed at Razz Pawn, not Horneychic but you made it appear otherwise. Horneychic's a Nas fan.

@Ibime

I won't blame you for the drivel you just vomitted there.

I'm not sayin' anythin' about "Hit 'Em Up" being the best or not but who're you to decide whether disses should be subliminal or not? Disses are what they're called - doesn't matter whether they're subliminal or direct.

What's witty about spittin' subliminal disses? It's a known fact that it's impossible to satisfy humans. If someone names names in a diss track ,some peops would say he's fearless. Others like you might think he's witless. Some peops also feel that your so-called subliminal disses are usually spat by cowards.

Pac's themes and life are not things nuccas like you understand. Dude was misunderstood for so many thangs but no one can dispute the fact that he was a fearless soldier - never afraid of anyone. He was known never to beat about the bush. He named names. He went straight for his enemies' jugulars - all cos he's fearless. At the same time he was intelligent. Is Pac the only one that mentioned names? Even new-age rappers do. Eminem, Jay-Z, Nas - they go both subliminal and direct.

And take back your ish on name-calling turning rap beef violent. Many rappers have at one time or another fought back cos of subliminal disses - apparently aimed at them. They go both physical and verbal. Many rappers have been shot dead when the shooter was almost sure the rapper was dissing him. It's even better atimes to take direct shots at who you're dissing - for the avoidance of doubt. Why's there so much unnecessary hue and cry about a rapper who died more than a decade ago?

For a so-called MC who has never listened to a 2pac album all his life . . . even out of sheer curiosity . . . I expected nutin better from you. . .

For the umpteenth time leave this veteran alone and face your bizniz. He's not your average MC. . .

Big ups Horneychic. I'm actually a big Nas fan too.

But swagger's all about the panache, the poise, the strides, the glitz, the glamour, the showmanship, the show[i]off[/i].

On a good day, we won't be comparing Nas and Jay-Z. It's like comparing King Kong with a one-day old ape.

Don't mind 'em Jigga fans. All of a sudden they're so excited cos they know all Jay got is swagger, nutin else.

Lyric-wise, rap artistry, rhymes, flows, delivery et al, Nas gets the trophy - hands down, legs up, belly flat, butts sideways, whatever.

Jay's better seen than heard. Suits TV more than Radio.

Jay's better with the swagger but Nas is a better rapper overall

Muki, I'm out for now. I'll be back soon. . .

lalaboi:
Never knew Canibus existed until i read the 2 last pages of this thread!
**shakes**

i just dey start my journey into hip hop! lol!

I know NADA!!!

You ain't missing nada Lalaboi.

Canibus is one rapper who, apart from punchlines/diss lines, has nutin else going for him.

If Canibus is that important to Rap/Hip-hop, you would've known him. I'm sure you know cats like Kool G. Rap, Wu Tang Clan, Kurupt, Ras Kass, Lost Boyz and Common. These are cats that Canibus, at one time or another, has had guest appearances with. . .

Apart from his 5th album (Rip The Jacker), all his albums were critical and commercial failures. Dude even made attempts at going commercial at a point but failed woefully  His most critically acclaimed work is "2nd Round Knock Out" (off his debut album Can-I-Bus), which he did in a fit of anger in response to a diss track from LL Cool J  However the whole album was a failure. He blamed his failure on Wyclef (who produced him)  This myriad of failures led to his decision to join the US Army

Anyways, his 5th album (Rip The Jacker) contains my fave joint from him - Poet Laureate II. Diverse beats were used (liked the Fela beat), song spanned over 7 minutes and sounded deep enough for my liking.

You can do without Canibus in your Veteran Rappers List. . .

This old joint just came to my mind - "Got My Mind Made Up" (2pac feat. Daz, Kurupt, Method Man & Redman). OMG, that's an awesome track. Beat is dope, delivery sick, flows ill, punchlines crazy. Err'time I remember that joint, I go ill! Makes me want to scream - "This is how rap should be done!!!"

Excerpts:

[Verse One: Daz]
You find an MC like me who's strong
Leavin motherf****rs aborted, with no verbal support
And when I command the microphone I gets deadly as Kahn though
With a bear and a snake and a panda, I'm on those
Who can withstand, the mo' power I gain
and make it possible for me to drop a few to wreck ya brain . . .

[Verse Two: 2pac]
So mandatory my elevation my lyrics like orientation
So you can be more familiar with tha nigga you facin
We must be based on nothin better than communication
Known to damage and highly flammable like gas stations
. . .I'm bustin and makin motherf*****s panic
. . .My lyrics motivate the planet
It's similar to Rhythm Nation but thugged out, forgive me Janet
Who's in control I'm acvtivatin yo souls
You know, the way the games get controlled . . .

[Verse Three: Kurupt]
Well I comes through with two packs
of the bomb prophylaks for protection
So my f****n' sac won't collapse
Cause nowadays, sh*t's evading the x-rays
Sending young motherf*****s to an early grave
I wonder, if my terrifying tactics of torturing MC's
shows my heart's as cold as the tundra
Electryfing like thunder, I'm just too much
. . .There's no escape, nah I ain't blastin
I use my mental to assassinate assassin's for those askin
. . . You best believe, to MC's I'm the deadliest disease
My thoughts rip ya throat and make it hard to breathe
Ya whole camp's under seige, and I'm Jason Vorhees
. . .Ya already have an idea about tha superior sphere
The greater rhyme creator on both sides of tha equator
I rock from here to there, to Philly and back
To LA on the spot where I rock and bust like straps. . .

[Verse Four: Method Man]
F**k you losers, while you fake jacks I makes manoeuvres
like Hitler, stickin up Jews wit German lugers
. . . Man I stay on point like icicles
Now who want to test Tical then touch Tical. . .

[Verse Five: Redman]
Aiyyo, lyrical gat spittin tha criminal tactics
. . .Let's face it, there's no replacement
Taste this, mad underground basement, sh*t I'm laced with
Avalanche on ya whole camp when I'm splifted
. . .Got the clear spot from tha rear block
to bust til every nigga here drop, men I fear not
Hold ya nose and blow out til ya ears pop
. . .With, this underground cannabis
I'm dangerous like John the bomb analyst
. . .Lick off a shot and hit ya fam by mistake
So I erase the whole front row at the wake. . .

@Ibime

I never listened to Pac's album, honestly. Of course, I heard most of his tunes on the radio or just around the way. But I never went and bought his album and sat down to listen to it. By the time I was in a position to buy CD's, I was already listening to Nas, and my taste in HipHop was already formed - and Pac didn't fit into that taste. I did buy his "Live and die in LA single though".

Aiight homie, I kinda feel you, I'm cool with that. But I maintain you the real Weird MC. Next time I see Weird MC/Shola, I'll tell her: "Beware of Ibime"


You're on point 'bout Killah Priest.

Speaking of the weird mc. . . . Aesop Rock. . . . WTF?

I thought we agreed it's all about punchlines and not rappers?

Ever heard of the Bible verse that goes sumn like "Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings thou hast ordained strength" . . .

But hey, homie - you've never listened to any Pac album? Even out of curiosity?

You should be the real Weird MC dude. . .


More punchlines:

Life's not a b***h, Life is a beautiful woman

And that's the reason earth is only 5 billion years old
I made the sun shine, and permitted time to unfold
The surface was lava, but when I stepped down, it became cold

bgees:
Who da Bleep is canibus?
I'd be ashamed if i was a fan.

Never mind, bgees. They're forgetting that the art of rap ain't all about punchlines. That's one good lesson I've learnt from Canibus' 'success' story . Pac may not roll out many punchlines, but his delivery of those lines do what they're meant for - they punch. I mean, when dude's riding on his enemies, you need no understanding of science, aliens and metaphysics to decipher what dude's on. He's one of those few rappers who don't get me bored even when they rap without a chorus. I don't get tired of him repeatedly rhyming words like "thug nigga/drug dealer" or "enemies/memories" in any track. . .

Anyways, the topic's 'bout punchlines so their moment of glory is here. Let them enjoy their 5 minutes of 'Canibus hitch-hiking'

Dedicated to all Canibus lovers :


What I talk on the mic make them call on Christ

- Canibus (Punchlines)


Canibus is the type who'll fight for mics
Beatin niggaz to death and beatin dead niggaz to life
When you look at me long enough, I start to read your thoughts
if the signal was strong enough, and then I'll call your bluff
like, "Yo, how many rhymes you got?" I think I'll go on
for more Milleniums than Mazda's got on the car lot
And there's nowhere to run ta, when I confront ya
Nigga, I call your bluff like you had a phone number

- Canibus (Verse on LL Cool J's '4321')



Big L:

If you battle L you picked the wrong head
I smash mics like cornbread, you can't kill me I was born dead

Battles, I lose none, I make crews run
I got 10 fingers but only use one

- Big L (Put It On)


You know nuttin about L, so don't doubt L
What's this motherfuckin rap game without L?
Yo, that's like jewels without ice
That's like china without rice
or the Holy Bible without Christ
or the Bulls without Mike
or crackheads without pipes
The Village without dykes
or hockey games without fights
Don't touch the mic if you unable to spit

- Big L (The Big Picture)



And now, Pac (that you love to hate):

To all the motherfucker's speaking down on me this is the night
Why's everybody caught up in Pac's life?

It's why u frontin like u billy bad ass n***a u scary
I been knowin you for years/we was high school peers
In junior high/I was itchin to kill and you was 'Ready To Die'

- 2pac (Pac's Life)

Niggas talk a lot of shit but that's after I'm gone cause they fear me in a physical form

Say my name three times like Candyman
Bet I roll on your ass like an avalanche

Niggas bustin' shots like they lost their mind
Like twenty-five to life never crossed their mind

- 2pac (Troublesome '96)

The way some nuccas be talkin' 'bout Canibus in here, one would think he's God.

Agreed that Canibus got 'em tight punchlines, but is a comparism with Pac not foolhardy? Some things are best left as they are cos we really cannot predict. The same Canibus that was battled 'n' rattled by homo-ass rapper - LL Cool J? In fact, some dudes still argue about who won that battle Need I remind y'all 'bout Eminem and Canibus?

No way. . .

Don't derail the thread. Just post punchlines and exit.

Why didn't Canibus get compared with Biggie? Pac died more than a decade ago. Don't know why some peops just won't stop saying ish about him.

Leave the late legend alone and let him rest in peace.

Many thanks Javalove.

Hi bamstyle.

good to see fellow modenine fans showing love. but a point of correction. you got something really wrong. at the end of spazmodic modenine doesnt tell us to expect a commercial album. he was playing with words.


he said "the next albums going to be a comeercial, break, get it? commercial break" it means a break from the commercial. so he wasnt promising a commercial album rather he was promising a hardcore album.


just wanted to point that out

Bams[b]t[/b]yle? Hmm. . . nice name you gave me there. . .

I agree Mode was playing with words. But "commercial break" that he said was not "a break from the commercial". He was codedly telling us to expect something commercial and radio-friendly from him as his next album. You know Mode has a way of playing with words. . .

When radio/TV stations take a break during transmission to air adverts, jingles et al, they refer to it as "Commercial Break". That time, they broadcast adverts to make profit, hence the word "commercial".

However, in Nigerian Music parlance, when you say a song/album is commercial, it immediately connotes its radio-worthiness, its mainstream appeal, atimes its ability/potential to become a hit and generate income. Not an underground stuff.

Mode surely said it in a sarcastic/ironical/satirical manner. You could even hear him laugh whilst he said it. Terry also added a sarcastic tone to it. But he actually meant a commercial album , definitely not to the extreme of including fuji, juju, etc. Definitely not that it would be a total, absolute, complete deviation from his signature style. Just a slight deviation from his usual underground/hardcore style.

That's why he called it a break. Besides, he had always been doing it the hardcore way. So why would he need a break to release a hardcore album anyway? (I think that was what Tosin was saying there).

You would agree that the album he referred to (E Pluribus Unum) had some 'commercial' songs. "Ogun Isoye" and "Nigerian Girls" are examples of this. Before that album, Mode had never released songs with such a concept or commercial touch.

Me a fan of Mode 9? Hehehe, I'm just a listener. He's got good lyrics anyway. But I think the likes of Javalove, Khanye and Olayokun fit better into that description. . .
