hope he doesn't sing all the other hooks. his singing has been quite bad since 'hailie's song'. even on 'not afraid'.

bjmighty:

50cent is very dedicated to his movies just as he is to his Music. I love him for that.

Joke of the day! Sorry, of the year!

See as Omawunmi dey shell. Pay your respects with proper English naw. lmao

chiogo:

I actually remember, just felt like asking.
So, has your bday passed already? you never told me the month/date.

You sure?
Nah, July 17th. Still far away. I've been dreaming about my cheesecake for a while now. It can't come soon enough!

WTF? He should be retiring! Even Jay-Z didn't start this late.

lol
There's alot of OLD rappers now. Even Pharrell's 37. lol
As long as your mouth can still move, you have no problem. KRS, GZA and Rakim are well over 40. lol
I think the whole Wu is over 40. lol

*thread successfully derailed* lmao

chiogo:

Ya welcome, baby-boo. 

So, how ya doing, potato-pie? 

Thanks and yea, I'm finally 12, y'know. . .took a while but pheww, I'm there. 

You wan turn me into Yerima abi? lol

And no, save the verse, you're probably popping sweats over the previous verses you just wrote. I'll let you chill for a min. 

Kewl, thanks. I'd have dropped a 2shizzy style verse for ya.
'On the campus smoking marijuana, speaking many grammar' lmao
That stuff is TOO sick. It's about as high up there as Hon. Patrick's stuff.

And another Shad track, this one dedicated to you.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4XrSHK9dp4
Shad- 'I Heard You Had A Voice Like An Angel'

I heard you had a voice like an angel
I heard a strange tale
About a saint that fell; music became jail
These bars, I hear you rapped in 'em
Wove in the beats like the clothing of sheep
Wolves' tracks, spin 'em
DJ's, CD's, C-notes,
G's thrown on D's with B King like T, I hope
I heard you even sang when you spoke
And the emotion you evoked got you choked
When your beauty struck a vocal chord broke
Throw the stove overboard
Looked upon the ocean, caught your reflection before the Lord's
I heard you had a voice like an angel
Strange though, you were blinded by the light
Shining from your own halo
Fell off, sorta like a rainbow
When heaven watched your faint glow fade slow
I heard you had a voice like an angel

I heard that fame's a killer that can murder great princes
Like Kurt Cobain, singin' "Purple Rain" from a distance
Hope home ain't a virtual game, nor this cursed place
Earth, where the dollars and the karma don't circulate
The world's a stage and you know this play well
Gee, I bet you even know how it ends, pray tell
Had a voice like an angel, now you score the drama scenes
The comedy's the fact, re-enact what you wanna be
Had some old song still stuck in your memory
Distorted, though, so you sort of reassembled melodies
And fine-tuned and turned 'em into single after single
Then this industry you built, so sinfully simple for
You to write, 'cause a song is what your life was
The destiny of stars is their light must fight dusk
For sparks of brilliance to ignite us
And of all the billions of stars, you were by far the brightest
I heard you had a voice like an angel
Now it's just a light hush

And now you keep everybody's eyes on charts and schedules
And the trends, tryna stack gold bars and medals,
They want vessels, void and dark
The space fools wanna make stars
Instead of music that's smart or special
Because art at a level that's real can be harder to peddle
Business prefers a market that settles
For second rate, kill the true artist, martyr the rebels
That's the system and it's straight from the heart of the devil
See, merchants of dreams sewed the soul's eyes wide shut
Passing the buck to purchase a pass to buy stuff
Workin' in the circus, get hired up
To walk over half-knots on a tightrope, tied up
And my god, it's a delicate balance, developing talent
Into persons that we worship, yo, it's a hell of a challenge
I heard you had a voice like an angel
Don't really sing no more, but you still runnin' the game, so
If we don't behave like them, they call us crazy
And if we won't slave for them, they call us lazy
Lately, I've started to see why you hate me
Hearing this voice, it must be painful
To the ears, when, for years, you had a voice like an angel

And if you don't behave as them, they call you crazy
And if you won't slave for them they call you lazy
Well, I say
They wanna take your mind, turn it into a prison
Then lock you inside, then they'll call that livin'
Well, I say
And if you don't behave as them, they call you crazy
And if you won't slave for them they call you lazy
Well, I say
They wanna take your mind, turn it into a prison
Then lock you inside, then they'll call that livin'
Well, I say
I heard you had a voice like an angel

They say, "smile for the camera"
They say, "smile for the camera
Smile for the camera
While we take your children
Smile for the camera
While we despoil your women
Smile for the camera
While we make our millions
Smile for the camera
While we make our buildings
Smile for the camera, smile for the camera"
They say, "smile for the camera"

This dude is too sick. . .

chiogo:

^^ 30? People are starting late these days, how old are you again sef?

He's actually 34. lol

Old enough!

I've told you before!

chiogo:

Aww. . .
Come here.

Awww, fanks dawling.
*phew*

May 13th

Awww, it's passed.
Hope it was a'ight.
Happy very belated b'day.

You want a b'day verse?

lol

I MIGHT start rapping soon. It's a big if. I'm not going to bother unless I'm incredibly sick, if I say so myself. Every time I hear a really dope track, I wonder why I can't do the same. But it's not easy. There's still time jor. Look when Jay Elect hasn't debuted and he's around 30.

chiogo:

Acronym indeed. OMG! You just said housewife, you chauvinist!

No, babe, I had no choice. I needed something eye-catching. And there was no other word to use for H. Apart from 'ho', which is too degrading and I there's no way I'd use that kind of word to describe my precious gem.

Lemme think about it. You're really not trying

I'm trying my best. This was not expected. It's just a big mix-up. And I promise to be around more often. No more cold nights alone,

Didn't like "Say aah" at first since most of its lyrics were from "Invented s[i]e[/i]x" - that's my song! Coulda been our song.

Don't be like that. It's not too late.

And I'm on summer vacay too. Finished early enough for my bday.

Cool. Lucky you. When's your b'day?

A piece of advice for MissChief, she needs to work on her breath control. She was gasping for breath, and I heard a bit of an h-factor too.

The rest were cool though.

And lol@Chiogo. At the beginning didn't she say something like 'it's your girl on the mic'?

C'mon, babe!

Don't look at it that way.

that b.i.t.c.h. was an acronym.

Beautiful Incredibly Talented Cheerful,  errr,  Housewife.

No, it's not! Don't be like that!

------

I liked Say Aah like everyone else. The hook was craaazy.

How's school going?

chiogo:

That's all you care about. 

So, are you done for the school year?

now i'm in deep sh!it. wait. she likes my raps.

This is real gangsta love, you my b!itch i lurr ya/ ([Drake] He wants you forever maaaayne )
Like none beforre ya/ do anything forr ya/
([Trey Songz] Yeeeah, that's right boo!)
C'mon, babe, you know this sh!it ain't like that/
our love stay cool like ice pack/
i'm not with you cos of your nice rack/
you're not with me cos i'm hax with the nice stacks/ ([T-Pain] Niiiice staaacks)
you know it's deeper than that/ our love is bigger than that/
I know there's more fish in the sea/
But none as official as Chi/- Chi/ ([Jeezy] Chyeeeah! (haHA!))

It cost alot to get such high profile stars to record with me. I'm really sorry.

that should do the trick.

And yeah, I'm done with school for a while now.

chiogo:

Beg indeed. . .when it's 'on to the next one'.  And I did nothing wrong so adios chica!
[s]You'll see just how frigid I am when I'm doing it big with Genuflect.  [/s]

oh fxck! i thought it was april fools day. i really didn't mean what i was saying. it was a bad joke. *laughs it off* 

I agree on the J. Cole part. But don't be talking about my Bobby like that. I guess we don't agree with each other anymore. More reason why we've drifted apart.  Oh well. . .

No we haven't! We agree that J Cole is the sh!t. And that Hov is the sh!t. We're still tight like a tin of sardines.

and we haven't 'taken it there' yet!

oya sorry jor.

chiogo:

I watched the foool once. He's smoking some stronger s[i]h[/i]it than Lil' wayne sef.

lmao
maybe that's why he was laughing so much. lol

Ah! Well, I saw that coming. It's all gravy.

It's not all gravy. You're meant to be crying and begging me to stay. You're too frigid. Too indifferent!

Naw but B.O.B is great! I'm not yet a full-fledged fan but after watching him perform, I started feeling his music. . .he used to be a bit boring to me.
Ya better listen to that new album.

No he's not 'great'. Shad is 'great'. J Cole is 'great'. B.o.B is, 'poo'. :p

and i've heard his album. ugh.

chiogo:

Be right on it.  

Oooh, Sit right on it.  

A lot of people do that once in a while, I wouldn't mind if I was a fan   I'd have to grow into it. . . if he's consistent enough.

He is. I'll post more songs. :p

Hehehehe *weezy laugh*  

You've seen 2sure2shizzy's amemu, right? lmfao
he laughed throughout the song. xD

I LOVE B.O.B  

*has fallen out of love with Chiogo*  

maedan:


Lol @ "wheezy laugh" . I dunno but Lil Wayne is my favourite rapper . That said, I give respect where it's due. As for Drake, well, it's an industry and people have to eat . Let the whacks and the macks do their thing, the stage is big enough for both of them. Hehehehe (luv ya Wheezy). LOL.

Ugh. I'd have had you replace Chiogo, but you're worse than her.

Exactly. That's what it IS like!

Weezy laughs like he's wheezing. Ugh.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjcJXdQcioE

Classic. lmao

blank:

All i was hearing was noise, noise and more noise.

Beautiful noise.
Hater! HATER!!

maedan:

Lol, the whole track is ill but I like those lines best. He's authentic, that's for sure. How rappers used to rap before it got all "commercial".

Yes ma'am. Nice to see that there are still peeps keeping it G.

chiogo:

Lemme help you embed. . .  

Now, help me [i]in[/i]bed.

The beat was too loud, only wack rappers need that to overshadow the lyrics they don't have. But I think he has good lyrics. He seems familiar too, think I've watched this video before or something else by him.

Most of his songs are like this. I think he does it on purpose. Don't know why though. Doesn't affect the quality of the music imo.

LMFAO!!!

I'm sure everyone's tired of that annoying giggle. Why do rappers LAUGH on their tracks? *evil look at Jada, Jeezy and Weezy*

maedan:


Lol. Like I said, he's authentic, loud and proud is how it used to be done. Won't name names, don't want to drag out the issue, but this was the way it was done. That's why some folks frowned on rap. Nowadays it's more sweetness and light, with hooks and stuff . The cornier it is, the more money you get .

Exactly. Look at B.o.B. Damn. To be a successful rapper these days, you need to rap LESS. *evil look at Cudi, Drake and B.o.B*

maedan:


LOL. Drake isn't that bad. If that's what you meant. Wasn't a fan either but he grows on ya . Shad is cool, too. For a Canadian rapper .

Yup. I just don't like him alot though. ALL his mixtapes have been boring, one good single which I'm not going to name, nominated for a Grammy and he's dropping an album and everyone thinks he's the best thing since sliced bread. A slightly improved, less annoying version of Lil Wayne. Let's hope they find him with more iPods and extend his stay in jail to like 5 years lol.

Ibime:

Fire!

No doubt. . . . great metas, flow, multi's and cadence. . . .

Yessir. You know I wouldn't recommend rubbish naw. :p

I'd have said he's the best rapper alive, but I don't want anyone to break bottle on my head, so let's just say best Canadian rapper alive. lol

ofokaofoki:

i didnt know hax listens to real hiphop. wonder wonder. ;d

Yes, ofoka i fux with the real sh!t.

Heard a track better than this?

[flash=500,500]

Shad is the dopest Canadian rapper alive, after Drake. (You know I'm being sarcastic)

Off his latest album TSOL.

(Verse 1)
Maybe I'm not big cuz i don't blog or twitter
Not like I'm bitter
I didn't happen on the flop, but i'll win it on the river
Longest winter got me seasoned
Now I'm a non-beginner meanin'
Not yet a veteran but nevertheless
Pick the drug or the rapper man im better than Meth
Dope as either or ether the drug or the jay diss
I would say dope as reefer but that would be too basic
And overplayed, overslaved won't complain though
The games been good to a young and outta London so i'm grateful
Not just for the fundin' or for the fans
But for the chance to say sumthin, it wasn't in the plans at first
It was sad days, halfway to graduation
Cap and black cape making job applications
I hate the catch phrase "Canadian rap sensation"
Shad K don't have chains, big as the Appalachians
But since the label put me out like ash trays to smoke cats
I have gained some accolades and admiration
It's grown since then
Though that second album man was so old-school
Folks called it old princeton
Im still penny pinchin it was so fine
My bills gonna hold still as pig skin
When its field goal time, now
That being said it's still 09
And i still got alot of credit I still owe 9
But they charge no interest, So i pay no interest
Meaning I pay no mind, If there ain't no fine, I'm fine
I hope I ain't boring yall rappin bout rap
But the only thing i love more then rappin is nappin
and I know nobody want to hear me rap about that
You want the underdog spazzin on the track

I get it,

(Verse 2)
Well my name ain't Lil' Wayne
Gretzky, But yall know better than to check me
In the game, my whole record's like a technique
Tellin' referees to peak at the press seats a sec please
DROP YOUR GLOVES OJ *haha*
I knock you into next week make you get teeth replaced
Can't use plates what you get to eat
Gives new meaning to tube steak
Like watching you bosom feed doomsday
Move on these squares like a chesspiece, I'm deadly
Even if you're Supernatural , I'm Craig G
Jesse James meets Jet Li
Killing these fakes at break neck speed
I make your head steam like a pet peeve
Get your neck squeezed till the breath leaves
Got the finesse and the prestige
And more mac(k) then 10 tech geeks dissing XP
Best in the league of vets like ex-marines highest pedigree
When i get the beat its hereditary
Genetic freak poetically
One-ten degree Memphis heat spittin steadily
Medically decapitate this rapper's face
Still won't get a head of me
I'm the best I'll ever be (Yeah!)
The cats out the bag, the new Shad's out
Now they spell it S.H.A.D.D. the way i spaz out
I don't bad mouth but i'll quickly put down the cat if he bit me like
Roy's boy Sigfried, Welcome to the big leagues
Where they pitch heat, still on a hit streak
My rappin's like battin' .360
*Hey Griffey slow down do something less cerebral*
I ain't big enough yet
*I gotta keep impressin people*
I get it , guess its a lesser evil
Weapons lethal as a Desert Eagle
Now my lethal weapon won(one)
You don't get a sequel

I Get it,

(verse 3)
No eviction notice still i'm homeless on a poets mission
Not that I'm a fiend stealing bass like Otis Nixon
Livin' on the street now i'm livin' on the road consistent
Making fans multiply like a coefficient
Record sales im making low comission but the visions mine
They don't change my record like pitchin' a no decision
Guitar playing emcee Yea i'm known for spittin'
while i'm tappin on my fender like cars in a slow collision
The precision of my flows in terms of tone and diction
Is akin to that of the old masters of prose and fiction
So many sold their souls , my soul ambitions
To hold solace so calm and bright as a solar system
I'm from a soul tradition; heads think I'm going to prison
Cause I'm talking bout this rap sheet with the most conviction
The most commitment, no other pro is so proficient
The coldest spittin', Rakim north pole edition
LISTEN !




Don't sleep.

why do some people talk like this?

because a guy wants sex with his girl doesn't mean he's a 'jerk'. because he's dumping you because you won't have sex with him doesn't mean he's in it for sex. maybe it means he wouldn't want to cheat on you so he's just letting go?

some people think sex helps relationships grow. not everyone that goes to church values virginity and plans to keep it till marriage.

eldee:

Believe me, in 15 years time, people will come out and say Lil Wayne was the best rapper of all time.
Music is a subjective thing . . . I agree with that, what I don't agree with is the fact that the posters on this thread praise Young MC in one second and throw away 50 Cent.

Nope. Peoples aren't saying Guru was the best of all time, and he's dead. Neither are they saying Snoop is the best of all time. Why should Weezy be called the best? Considering the fact that he sings half the time. And the music he releases till then will matter. If he keeps dropping sh!tt like a bird, his reputation is going to go down. He has to be consistent, somehow like T.I. Or he'll lose relevance. This is hip-hop after all. Look how quickly 50 lost it.

Come on . . . beats were best in the late 90s with the new influence of technology.
That's the first time since the 80s that you could buy an album just for the beats . . . 50 Cent sold Dre beats to us two times. . . till today, I don't know the lyrics of Ruff Ryders Anthem . . . Jay-Z did Black album with practically a different producer for every song, name one bad beat on that album . . . and don't tell me the crunk beats of the HHID era were bad, infact everyone admitted that they made real good beats but had songs without content.

You said late 90's. I disagree. Ready to Die, Illmatic were early-mid 90's. Same with 93' til infinity and 36 chambers, Chronic, G-Funk Era, every Wu debut solo album (Liquid Swords, OB4CL, Ironman, Tical, ODB's, etc), Doe or Die, Midnight Maurauders, The Infamous (mad pprops to Havoc), Me Against The World, etc. They had sick beats. And I feel earlier rappers were let off for weaker lyrics too. 'More drugs than a pharmacy' and 'High as a motherfxcking helicopter' would be labelled as wack now, but from Biggie's lips, they're cool. People went easy on the lyrics of the earlier rappers too, so it's not as if it's only the lyrics that sold albums, the beats played a big part too. They always have.

Why did Nas fall off? Consistently picking bad beats. Or do you think he has an album with better beats than Illmatic?

Jay-Z too. American Gangster was fxcking sick production-wise, but BP3 and KC were not. Reasonable doubt is widely regarded as his best album. Blueprint 1 had better beats than TBA. Kanye's beats after Late Registration dropped in quality. I'd say the best beats started earlier than that. I'd say 93'-'94. Beats back then were raw. Everything these days is over-produced/R&B/party-ish. But the best beats of recent times are better than most of what came out in the early-mid 90's. I'll give you that. There are just too many timeless beats from back in the days.

Which of these tracks have you heard? If you haven't heard any and you have quick internet, youtube them.

Mobb Deep- Give Up The Goods (off The Infamous)
GangStarr- What I'm Here 4 (off Moment of Truth)
GZA- Swordsman (off Liquid Swords)

I'd list more, but I'm too lazy. lol

bgees:

I'm kind of familiar with old school rap, but 90 percent of the guys u just listed were NOTHING!! except the ones I put in bold.

whatthefuh?
Coolio and Grand Puba were 'something', and Masta Ace, Edo G, Eric B & Rakim, Slick Rick and DE LA SOUL were 'nothing'?

eldee:

It is regarded as the golden age of hiphop because they made the genre not because they were actually that lyrical.
Isn't it the same people that came out to say Biggie is the best rapper ever . . . nostalgia is a naughty woman, in 15 years time Lil Wayne will come out to say his era was the best too.
That doesn't take anything from the fact that they did the hard job of starting a genre of music though, but if we're to tell the truth, they pale in comparism to rappers in the 90s.

QFT
We agree for once! lol

Apart from the whole Biggie-Weezy-nostalgia part though. Lemme just savour the moment and ignore it. lol

I see why that era is respected, it was the cross over into lyricsm from the original founders, but I think the most lyrically inclined rappers are from the 90s not the late 80s.
Pac, Immortal Technique are more revolutionary than Public Enemy, gangsta music from Bigge, Big Pun and Big L in the 90s was more descriptive than NWA's F*** Tha Police, styles of delivery multiplied with guys like Eminem, Snoop, Outcast and these people . . . even the best beats are from the late 90s till date.
It's simple, 90s rappers sat on the shoulders of great men, so they saw further.

Don't really agree about the best beats though. Stuff like Illmatic, 93 til' infinity, The Infamous, Ready To Die, Reasonable Doubt, Liquid Swords, Moment Of Truth, etc had (I don't want to use the word classic) timeless beats. And samples. 90's Primo = win.
All Young Money uses now is synths. lol

A sad day for us Valencia fans. We all knew it was coming though. Do something, Emery. Replace him. And keep Silva!

Villa tried for us gan, but in the end, he deserves much better. And at 28, time isn't on his side. The best striker in the world, has joined the best team in the world. With good service, he'll score over 30 next season. I believe him.

AMUNT!

jm297:

Also i can drag a connection to sossick for studio works.tank platinum we have beat option

Wonderful. I know Kanye West. I'm sure they'd produce something so sick if they work together.

eldee:

Erm . . . he's not even a rapper.

what is he then? lol

He's the best thing that's happened to music in a long time.

*koff*stan*koff*

You obviously haven't listened to The Dusty Foot Philosopher.

Nope. Only Troubadour. Which didn't impress me much.

chiogo:

^^

tosinaded@:

y'all are the reason nas has no money to pay kelis

kelis is the reason nas has no money to pay kelis.

eldee:

K'naan is just my artiste . . . you know how you feel when you watch the development of an artist you felt from the first day.
And the fact that he makes good music just makes him my favourite artist.

I'm still yet to download the album . . . you guys are pirates.

your favourite? i appreciate the fact that he learnt english like 5 years ago and all, and he's a conscious rapper, but the problem is, his music is just. . . there. nothing to write home about, imo.

get off K'Naan's nuts already. lol

wasn't looking forward to the whole reggae part, but it's really nice.

favourite tracks- Patience, Leaders, Strong Will Continue, Nah Mean.

. . . and it's sick!

Nah. I'm sure he hit more than one little girl.

He unleashed his dragon on a 14 year old and she had a baby by him, but she ain't no millionaire.

Sisqo rhymes with pedo anyways. lol

tosinaded@:

bitter truth!!!!

If you really think so, then you're as stupid as Saucekid.

B-B-B-Blueprint 2, classic? Blueprint 3, classic? BP3 is a classic, and Stillmatic, Lost Tapes and God's Son aren't?

I should stop.

eldee:

There are good rappers and then there are those that are out to steal your shine.
J. Cole is of em. . .

Isn't J. Cole a 'good rapper'? If he wasn't a good rapper would you be worried about him stealing your shine? This type of thinking doesn't help hip-hop. Around when Nas dropped Illmatic, EVERYONE wanted to collabo with him. Wu, Mobb Deep, Dr. Dre, etc. Yeah, avoid hungry rappers. Bullsh!t.

Help a lil' nigga from the Ville get some shine. Give the upcoming rappers a chance. Being with a real good rapper inspires you. You want to hold your own. You don't want to be brushed aside.
Jay wouldn't have spit fire on the Watcher 2 if he didn't feel threatened by Rakim. We heard the wack stuff he had on that same album. Neither would he have spit fire on Brooklyn's Finest or Black Republicans.

If you want a good rapper, get The Game or sumn, not this hungry upstart whose main objective in life is to outshine your arse like Eminem did back in the days.

Why did Talib Kweli feature Mos Def (good rapper) BOTH Jay Elect and J. Cole (hungry rappers)? He made a dope joint and was owned by at least TWO of them. Yeah, he should go and kill himself.

oh, and btw, so even hungry upstarts shouldn't feature themselves? Well thank God not everyone thinks like you, or else we wouldn't have had Mos/Talib or Life's a B!atch.

eldee:

I don't know why rappers will never learn, how will you put hungry guys like J.Cole on your song??
Na wa ooh . . . it's not even a mixtape or sumn, an album.
Someone should help Drake reject the spirit of Renegade by fire by force.

this kind of thinking pisses me off. why doesn't everyone just feature souljah boy and destroy him on their tracks? mchew.

everybody wants to make good music. featuring wack rappers brings the quality of your music down, and featuring good ones increases the quality. just what I feel though.
