no vex. have changed the link to a usershare one.

amina, seriously. you need to consider 190's offer.

good men are hard to find. you don't want to wait till you're like that spinster that reached menopause. give 190 a chance. he's a good kid.

if it's in reply to that, he doesn't have to go crazy with multis and metaphors. neither of them is lyrically heavy from the look of things. they should both just stick to making fun music. ok verses, nice beats and hooks.

AT LAST!!!

not what i was expecting, but nice try!

So. . .

nobody wants to hear new j. cole?

i heard J. Cole diss M.I. in one of his underground songs.

let's hear word jor. there's no diss there. drake is not the only one known for singing.

Mobinga:

To me,wayne used to be bad but he's good now.he's not bad at all.you may pick out some of his flaws but he's only a human being.he drops more simillies than any other rapper out now.few of 'em may not be too dope but a lot are great.

dropping too many similes isn't actually special. that's when it begins to sound like a nursery rhyme. like this, like this, more than that, as hot as this, etc, etc. just my opinion.

I'm counting[money] all day like a clock on the wall

I keep her runing back and forth like the soccer team

They say I couldn't play basketball cos I was not tall/
They say I couldn't play football cos I was small/
They say I couldn't play baseball  .  .  at all/
But now  .  everything in my life  .  .  i ball/

i'd congratulate a 15-year old if he did that. not a grown-ass professional rapper. not when he's spat this 2 years before that:

underground cats aren't getting enough airplays though but,hihop of these days is trendy.in the sense that an artiste have to put both the hooks and beats into consideration while spitting his sick lines.

nope. all they need is special favour from the almighty. i can list 10 underground rappers with great production, verses and hooks who are STILL not getting airplay.

------- I typed a longer post but my pc ate it up. this is going to be short (er)---------

Cause I'ma murder 'y' I kill 'O' and even you
Man, I got Summer hatin' on me cause I'm hotter then the Sun
Got Spring hatin' on me cause I ain't never sprung
Winter hatin' on me cause I'm colder than ya'll
And I would never, I would never, I would never fall
I'm being hated by the seasons
So bleep ya'll who hatin' for no reason

. . . and you call that wack , obviously you know it's a figure of speech and he's trying to make a point.

It is wack, imo.  
Everybody uses figures of speech. Only the ones used properly are actually praised. like 'like short sleeves I bare/bear arms'- jay-z.

Ok, you're just hatin' for no reason if you say weezy doesn't make use of metaphors. He's one of the few rappers that make {over}use of metaphors and similes in his rap verse. His flow and delivery is overwhelming hehehehe . Didnt say he was the best but he's what's up .

EVERY rapper uses metaphors. not every rapper uses them right though. 'i'm fire, i burn niggas' is using it wrong.

Bamsyle.:
Rap Music has evolved . . . there was an era of boom-bap, another of gangsta rap . . . we also had G-Funk and all 'em rest . . . early Hip-Hop had DJs who just 'toasted' over beats . . . Old School Rap (late 70s to early 80s) was nutin seriously lyrical . . . it was basic . . . it used to be all about partying and having fun.

The late 80s/early 90s witnessed the emergence of rappers who focused more on lyrics (the likes of KRS-One and Rakim) . . . emcees like the Notorious B.I.G then emphasized the other very important leg of Rap . . . Flow (/Rhythm/Rhyme/Cadence) . . . most emcees during this era were managing the dual ends of lyrics and rhythm well . . . and that's why it's often referred to as the "Golden Age of Rap".

Nas perfected it before Big did. Illmatic nigguh. lol

How emcees flow on a beat is attimes overlooked all in the bid to spit 'sick' lyrics . . . a message is as important as its delivery . . . Rap ain't all about talking on beats . . . it is Music . . . as such, it must have rhythm and melody . . . that's what makes it different from reading Martin Luther's "I Have A Dream" speech over a background beat . . .

However, rappers of nowadays seem to be focusing more on dope delivery/rhythm, sick beats, and what-have-you . . . this ain't bad in its entirety - I believe that both the rhythmical and lyrical endz of Rap must be handled well . . . a handful of them still use metaphors, imagery, similes et al . . . but I always tell folks, lyricists are folks who know how to tell a story with so much graphics, imageries, etc to make you feel like you’re part of the story . . . folks that’ll pick a topic as simple as water and make it come alive in our minds . . . it ain’t all about bragging, boasting or battling.

I think such rappers still exist - emcees who handle topical issues well (like Common, Mos’ Def, Nas, etc) . . . they rarely get played on TV/radio though.

nah. when they do it right, it gets lots of play eg one mic, can't forget about you, etc

Most of the ones that get played are not necessarily dope . . . but they may also not be classed as wack . . . they might be lyrically inept but fascinating with mad-a[/i]s[i]s delivery.

disagree strongly.

list all the mainstream rappers you know right now. now list the ones with mad deliveries.

i have errmmm. . . eminem. who else?

listened to this because of fashawn, because i'm getting tired of j. cole's flow these days, then suddenly, he actually changes his flow! [size=5pt]yeah i'm hatin'[/size]

J. Cole- Relaxation feat. Fashawn & Omen.

fxcking sick.

they all kill it.

he's on the road to greatness. . . or if he's unlucky, legendary underground status.

Ms. Potato:
Why not ask him instead?

she should do that.

then if the reason he gives her is fishy, then she should better run away o. maybe it's jazz o.

i wouldn't mind seeing her even on her period, if that's her in her profile. that's just me though.

let him know. act like you're concerned and don't try to pass it off as a joke. it's quite embarrassing. but he would definitely know about it, you never know, he might just appreciate your concern.

as a lady, i'd check myself, do i repulse him? am i ugly, unhygienic, unhealthy, etc?

or is he gay?

or is he a 'senior member' of his church?

Benita? Benedicta?

Maybe he's a muslim? I think islam views it as impure or something.

kid cudi fxcking sucks. who signs all these people? perhaps the men on the moon appreciate that cr-ap.

and lapazarian, give lloyd banks some credit. he can spit. i've all but given up on The Game.

and i'm confident that Nas will make Lost Tapes 2 almost as good as the original. i hope. *prays*

and of course, before i forget, put gucci mane in the cudi category.

nellaluv:
Hate him or love him, lil wayne is one of the ill cats right now. Boy is sick and he got flows i mean smooth flows, hehehehe . His lyrics aren't that deep but he's good.

you lost me at that point dear.

you just talked about rapping about real issues and relatable events, and good rappers having broad range of vocabulary and skills.

and you mentioned lil wayne.

NO.

having smooth flows and wide vocabulary isn't going to do much when you're talking about rubbish. examples- encore/relapse eminem and lil wayne generally. especially when lil wayne spits punchlines like 'i'm hot like dogs'. 'winter hating on me cos i'm colder than y'all'. wack/cliche punchlines, no/repetitive subject matter, no metaphors, etc

if anything, lil wayne and the whole young money crew is what is wrong with the game. if they could fast-track drake and make him such a big star, they could use the young money name alone to promote a really sick lyricist on some bouncy commercial beats for the singles, at least, and leave the serious sh-it for the rest of the album . people would want to listen to the newest young money star, and the heads would appreciate lyricism taking the centre stage for once on a young money song. add a nicki minaj verse and a catchy drake hook on the lead single would still appeal to the 1 million little kids that buy their albums. but they won't. they'd rather push more wack commercial cats like birdman and gudda gudda and tyga and lil twist and co into the centre stage just so they'll make more money off them.

no. not good enough!

singing about bi-tches, drugs and robbing IS a main part of rap. Biggie did it, Big L did it, it's the manner of delivery. Big L spat the sickest punchlines and multies before he died. no one could touch him at that time apart from Nas. listen to Big L's 'Street Struck'. he knows it's wrong, and he tells the kiddies not to do it, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't talk about it. that's HIS life. that's the world HE lives in. that's the world he's going to tell you about. look at it from their perspective. if you sold drugs, you'd want to rap about it. music is a form of release. you'd want to tell the world about how hard life was on the streets, how many cats you lost, how many cats are locked up, etc. that's what your life is about. you'd pick up a pen and pad and try to write about something else, but it'd STILL pop up in your brain. that's just the way it is. no matter the subject matter, just do it right. paint a vivid picture, tell a nice story, brag, do a club joint, sick flows, sick wordplays, sick metaphors, whatever. just do it right. make it sound like you actually put alot of thought into it, make it complex, but just easy enough so everyone could understand. that's what Biggie was good at. and that's why i would never agree with anyone that says Pac > Big.

or just go over their heads like Lupe. it's your choice.

[big l]
Yeah, it's the big l
Comin at you once again, in nine-five
And I dedicate this one
To all my peoples from uptown,  and everywhere
Check it!

Yo where I'm from it ain't cookies and cream
There's a lot of peer pressure growin up as a young teen
You never know when you gonna get wet
Cause mad clowns be catchin wreck with a tec just to get a rep
Instead of cool friends, they'd rather hang with male thugs
Instead of goin to school, they'd rather sell drugs
It's best to go the right route and not the wrong one
Because it's gonna catch up witchu in the long run
Brothers be all up on us, actin silly, gettin lifted
They life is twisted, and most of them are quite gifted
In other words, they got talent; but they'd rather sell cracks
And bust gats and run the streets actin violent
To them it's all about hittin skinz and makin some easy green
Cause that's all they show you on the tv screen
All they care about is a buck or bustin a sweet nut
They don't give a (what? ) cause they street struck

Chorus: big l

You betta listen when l rhyme; cause bein street struck'll
Get you nuttin but a bullet or jail time
So pay attention when l rhyme; cause bein street struck'll
Get you nuttin but a bullet or jail time

[big l]
Before the rap contract, I was sellin crack
Stay strapped with a mac, I was into alla that
I started rappin and got nice as hell
If it wasn't for this I might be doin life in jail
[size=15pt]And some of my peeps are still in the game sellin 'caine
If that's what you gotta do to maintain, go 'head and do your thang
But with the cash profit make an investment
[b]And try not to go to the grave like the rest went
Cause you can be rich with crazy loot, own a house and nine cars
What good is that, if you're dead, or behind bars? [/size]
[/b]And yo it's not even funny
I've seen a lot of my peers give up they careers for some fast money
They could've been boxers, ballplayers or rap singers
Instead they bank robbers and crack slingers
Aiyyo they used to be legit kids, now they corrupt
They had dreams but gave em up cause they street struck

Chorus: repeat 2x

[big l]
I still chill with my peeps in the streets; but most of the time
I'm in the crib, writin rhymes to some dope beats
Or either callin up some freaks to bone
But word up, I try to leave the streets alone
But it's crazy hard kid, in other words, it's spooky
The streets be callin me, like the crack be callin pookie
It ain't a dumb joke, listen to this young folk
Cause where I'm from -- you can choke from the gunsmoke
Stay off the corners; that might be your best plan
Before you catch a bullet that was meant for the next man
Or end up with a deep cut
Or relaxin on a hospital bed, from bein street struck

Chorus: repeat 2x

[big l]
Worrrd up!
Aiyyo take it from me, the big l
Cause I been through it all, youknowhati'msayin?
Stay off them corners you'll stay out of trouble
And I gotta say rest in peace to all the cats teasin streets
I'm outta here

if you're not going to listen to it, at least appreciate the lyrics. especially the bolded part. and compare it to the sickest weezy verse you've heard. i'm guessing it won't come close.

hope they've fixed the defending in fifa 11. in fifa 10, defending corners was terrible. they'd leave only one man at the penalty spot with the opposition strikers and the rest of the defenders would spread out and arrange themselves around the box standing aimlessly.
and the marking was poor too. one quick turn and your defender is nowhere to be found. and even with team width and depth on 1, they'd still spread out and hang around very close to the half way line. there's no way to play a compact and deep defence, which sucks for players like me that like to sit back and defend deep and attack on the counter. so i have to make last-ditch tackles ALL the time.

still a wonderful game though. can't wait to play fifa 11.

fifa left pes behind 3 years ago. pes should sort out their referees. you get away with too much in pes 10. and their through balls and aerial through balls weren't intelligent. you'd find them passing the ball straight to the opposition when there's alot of space to the side. i still like pro though.

@ Hax & Inked-nerd, good night, But then again should i say good night to you inked-nerd, Some peeps might read a different meaning to it, lol

toodles!

that thingy under your username?

swiftycool:
It is hard to love again if you gave it your all at the first time only to be called a fool at the end. Most ladies you will meet would be like this, but as you grow and mature you will develop wisdom to sieve the shaft from the grain.

then step out again, but never love with your eyes closed again. you will be able to notice the signs if they re-occur so make sure your heart is well guarded and your brain on clockwork.

yessir. you make too much sense!

Inked_Nerd:

lol, it baffles me why some people make up stories though

some people just love the attention, i guess.

Inked_Nerd:

lol sure no problem . Same to you too. Hope to see more of your posts.

aight then.

Inked_Nerd:

Yupp, I totally agree. . . But it does help some people [I think]

maybe like half of the ones that aren't fabricated. lol
the other half receive nice yabs. lol

190:
[color=#550000]Thanks for your response,

But it aint me, ooh

we have heard o. we know it's not you. this your denial is too much sef. i'm starting to suspect. lol

Inked_Nerd:

Its not a big deal to me. After all, its just an online forum. I've dealt with worse so this really isn't a dent in my life. I remember I was in the streets and some Christians preaching on the street attacked my friend just because he said he didn't agree with what they were saying. I was like "WTF, are you f**king kidding me?".

i didn't expect it to dent your life. keep the sensible posts coming!

depends. just because she wants her ex back doesn't mean she can get her ex back. and he might have been the ex she was talking about. you never know. maybe in her mind they're officially over?

too many problems that you guys bring on to nairaland is stuff that could be settled in a 5 minute conversation. talk to the girl. does she want a break-up? does she want to get back with her ex? can the relationship still work out?

NL won't save your relationship. only you can. so get off the pc and start talking to the babe o. or else. . .

Inked_Nerd:

Leave him be. Let him keep hurling insults since it makes him feel so good about himself.  

eeeeya. don't mind them jor.

xxcarolxx:
Just because i hold nothing against gays, first of all you were saying i was gay, now its my son or a family member, lol Lets just agree to disagree, you have your view i have mine, So have a good night,

about time, Carol. goodnight!

i know many women that dislike tall guys too.

'he makes me look so short, blah blah blah. . .'

y'all short guys have hope.

Tosinville:
xxcarolxx,

Madam, pls stop misquoting my word, i didn't ask you to tell a gay face to face that he is going to burn in hell, i'm just speaking just because we're online, thats their own jar of problem and its not my right to judge them in any way but have you ever read it in your bible that homosexualism is what God is really against?

you're right. GOD might be against gays, so leave GOD to do the judging naw, abi?

and lol @ ohiemi's 'warning'. you guys take the internet too seriously. face it, there's nothing you can do to inky-winky, so let's all be peaceful and not get too emotional or insulting.

@tosinville- dogs act on instinct. dogs don't mate for fun/pleasure. humans mate for pleasure.

gays, whether you like it or not, will continue to exist. it's even getting more popular these days. there's nothing you can do about it. and i don't see how it affects you anyways. got many of them on your case?

@pslm23- you just made alot of sense. let them live their lives the way they want to. their orientation only becomes my business when they start trying to toast me. lmao @ eddie long.
