We cannot help where we coming from and stuff we been thru,but we can choose what it makes us become.In dis equation called Life,pain is d common denominator,multiply by that by ur actions and the result would be U.

What d streets done did to a Negroe aint nuthin compared to what a Negroe done did to Hisself! Nuff said!

@Hybrid-X

Ive got 25 unreleased materials out of which 14 would make it to d album.I intend collaborating wt other God-emcees of similar bent.I already have trax wt sm R&B singers.

I'll be at the Excel Studio,Panland,Badagry Expressway on thursday,lord willin, to feature on d Y.F.C album.

He! he! he! (rib-cage cracks) yeh! Spades don crack my ribs,oh!

@Rantibaby

If u got dreamz and ur really passionate bout it,then u must fight 4 it! It may take sm time bt eventually ur chance will come.Remember,'Preparation are the eyes with which u recognize opportunity when it comes ur way'.

I suggest u start writing new songs and start performing them,starting from ur home church.With time,it will spread to the rest of the world.All the best!

@Wordsmith

Words are like vehicles:they can take u anywhere u wanna go.Right now,im drivin past memory lane.

Check:

I remember back when/i was a round-tha-clock-hustla/

@chiogo

Im sorry ur name was left out! Ur hip hop too!

Ermh,excuse me! When did 'Curtis' become a slang 4 'Snitch'? Just asking!

@Rantibaby

I think its a wonderful thing to dedicate ur talents to d worship of God and to have the desire to bless lives thru muzik.But i wonder just how badly u want it? How much are u willing to sacrifice to spread ur music to d world?

Dont expect a promoter 2 jump out d blues and support u wtout u having made some moves of ur own.Do u have ur Demo Cd? How much are u prepared to spend on improving ur muzik? How prepared are u to perform b4 millions of people who are hungry to hear some songs of encouragement frm u? Just how many songs have u composed and scored on the piano?

Most importantly,do u have a deep conviction in ur spirit dat God has called u to d musik ministry? If u do,then stop looking 4 help elsewhere and trust him to bring people ur way dat wud believe in ur dream and help u actualize it. Nothing is impossible 4 God,bt it must be in HIS time.Keep singing and opportunity will find u!

@Hybrid-X

My 9 - 5 job is presently funding the album project.Ive tried to get sponsors,bt u kno how it is,people like what ur doin bt wnt invest in u till they see u on T.V and observe audience response to ur muzik. I got tired of waiting 4 a label to sign me and decided to make God my manager.

"Rapsody" is my stage name and simply means: 'Revelation of scriptures in lyrikal form'. I actually got dat name when i was featured in a concert titled "Rhapsody" by a mass choir way back on campus.The music director was impressed by my performance and conferred d title upon me.Since then (2000),ive kept it gospel ever since.

Im a solo artiste working on my debut album,bt considering how i started out,i have a thing 4 mass choirs and love to work wt em.I'll be in d studio thursday nite to feature on an album project wt Youth 4 Christ Int. Lagos,then its back 2 d office on Friday morning. No be small tin,oh!

Shorty,Young - teenage black male
Shawty,chick,broad - Female

Low Goose - Cheap winter clothing
Cheddar,paper,dead presidents,squealer,dough - money

Chrome,Iron,burner,desert-eagle - Handgun
Slug,shell,halo-tip - bullets

Dope,ill,fresh,banging,sik,off-d-chain or hinges - extremely good

Jake,five-O,cops,boyz-in-blue - Police
Rat - informant
State greens,orange - Convict uniforms

hit skins,kick it - have sex
macking - chatting up a girl
Juice - Staying power,inner strength

Nuff respect 2 all emceez holdin it down on NL.I had dis vibe dat it wud be fresh 2 start off a thread where all headz cud share and update their hip hop vocabulary so im starting dis!

Keep in mind dat dis aint a battle thread,nah! Dis aint even a rap thread! Just drop some hip hop slangs and their meanings so we can all learn!

Menike,Paddy_lo,Tianshie,Wordsmith,Hybrid-X,Jduck13,Po deep,D block,Mailmalc,Obedz,Afrocynic,Sharn06,Chukky76,thecolonel,Malthuss,Maverik & Zephyrr! I need yall 2 drop sm science on d freshest hip hop slangz and their meanings.

@HYBRID-X

The album is almost dome. Stay righteous!

here'z ma own piece of mind :

i bring hope 2 d hopeless/luv when i wrote dis/word 2 d dopest!/let God be ur focus.

I been where u been/same grind same hustle/bt dat aint changed d fact dat God loves U.

We push and we strain/as we go against d grain/bt it endz up in vain/coz we cant stop d rain/so we pray/dat God makes it happen today/bt u cant eat ur cake and hve it ur way

Faith is d key/and we all got faith in degreez/if u got Christ and act right/ur FAITH will increase!

U gotta luv GOD/hate SIN wtout hesitation/TRUST absolutely,neva doubt /and be PATIENT!

Its a cold,cold world/when nobody luvs u/but if u accept CHRIST/like Kweli 'its a beautiful struggle!'

(wraps a muffler round d Mic)

SHHHH!

@Wordsmith

Negroe,all that expostulation wasnt necessary! Its obvious ur spoiling 4 a fight or wudnt be referring to me as ur victim.Son,read my fingerz"I DONT DO BATTLES!" Ive got more prophet-table ventures to attend to! Just keep my name out yo profane lips! A word is enough, !

@Wordsmith

Be eazy,negroe! I hve d right to give advise 2 whoever i choose wtout having u always looking over my shoulder! I saw ur post calling me out 2 battle (smirks),dats a lost cause,money! Quit testin me son,u've got ur handz full already. Dnt take my silence 4 timidity,negroe,u dnt impress me! Keep my name out ur mouth,son!
U can battle all d cats u want,just keep my name out yo mouth,negroe!!

Poor Maverik! Zephyrr done run off leavin em wt holdin d baby! Hybrid-X refuses to accept paternity and Celtel be suing em for child support!(just kiddin).

Bt seriously,i think d best way to keep d thread going and blow d fakes away is to introduce an elimination round where who ever loses 2 fights gets to go! Then d really ill catz can go against each other 4 d throne vacated by Malthuss! What do u guyz think?

@Hybrid-X

Now dat battling is beginning to lose its savour for u,wud u mind dropping by d gospel thread more often? (Just asking).

@Hybrid-X

Dude,dat was str8 frm a 38! Knew u wud come around eventually.U know hw we do it in God's lyricist lounge: strictly holyghosted yarnz!

See i done warned u b4 about d freestyle battling thing.2 much ego and animosity floating around.Stay bomb,negro!

@Hybrid-X

Rapsody is back,fellaz/Rap phenomenon/

@Jduck13
what up son! Welcome back to God's Lyricist Lounge where d praise dnt stop.What ur going thru is what we all as God Emcees go thru.Here's my own piece of mind:

i hear d streets calling/my ol Gs wt whips balling/
tryna pull me back/tho i try 2 I-gnore them!/im dealing wt d drama/on my way 2 rap-stardom/diggin thru d word/tryna hit rock-bottom!

Got gurlz shaking they butts/anytime i look their direction/
they got me stressing out/tryna lose d scent of seduction/cute belly buttons/looks is heart-stopping/
they tryna take me down/wanna shut down my functions!

Secular labels wanna sign me/bt first they try 2 re-define me/
Make me dance go go/and rap for d mojos/nah! Dats a no,no/i'd rather stay low-pro/wont sell ma soul 4 no dough!

Every God-emcee/be facing d same prospects/Temptation is common to all/Its part of d process!
