vanguard1: With utmost honesty, am yet to come in terms with mandela's legacies. I still see him as a regular African president that luckily got overhyped because he was victimised initially by the white government.
Before one illiterate quote me, he should read well and understand what I mean, I never meant hate.

babycee: you don't know how excited I am to write my lingo.... Some ppl been writing their lingo and couldn't read. Hmmmm pls allow me ooo, especially now that I know there's my sisters here and they can read and understand what I write

Kairoseki77: Did David Cameron speak?

Snoggy: Booing a President or a dignitary in an occasion such as this is unacceptable. No matter what! This is a memorial service for Christ's sake.

Havilah93: I'll be damned!

Not worthy?

If he's not there, whe else should?

Snoggy: This is absolutely ridiculous. Why are South Africans booing their President? SMH! Stupidity at its peak.

fckyourman: where is book haram, please go to south africa.

NOIBMUUL: Nigeria and "feferity"! In South Africa, Mandela's home country, they declared 1 day mourning, we for naija na 3 full days dem declare. Now a memorial service for Mandela in Abuja where none of his family or even close friends were present?! Can you cut a person's hair in the absence of the person? Another avenue to squander money. Na so Mandela live him life? SMH

coogar: what KGR & RA, rakim did in the past was inventing standard definition TV. eminem pushed it to high definition TV between 99 @ 2004 and then went on hiatus. he came back in 2009 & pushed his pen game further to 3D.



if you appreciate lyricism, delivery, multis, punchlines, metaphors & wordplay then rap god should be a template for any aspiring rapper/writer out there to use as a launchpad.



i like relapse more than SSLP & TES. only MMLP is better than relapse. relapse is an album for the hardcore rap fans not the average hiphop fan. some of the schemes & rhyme patterns eminem spewed in that album has never been done in the history of hip-hop.

thunder might strike if anyone here says nas, jay-z, 2pac or any of the old school rappers can touch what eminem did in this shady 2.0 cypher. just watch from 6.48 and see lyrical skills & he's freestyling!!!

coogar: mainstream hiphop is dead, underground hiphop is still growing & very entertaining. who else is there apart from eminem & slaughterhouse? nas/jay-z have forgotten the elements of hip-hop. their last albums were pitiful.

mainstream is filled with idiöts now, kanye started well with his debut album but he's become shyte now. lil wayne never had it & the others wouldn't have a career if big/pac/big pun were still alive.




biggie's ready to die was so much better than illmatic.

coogar: eminem & slaughterhouse - they are the only ones left doing it like they should. others are just wackitty wack. mainstream hip-hop is dead.

coogar: it's fair to say you know nothing about rap then if scissors, pens & razors is what caught your attention on 3am. the first verse on 3am is better than anything any rapper has written before then.

inspectah deck's verse was superb - aided by the production(beats). the delivery was heavenly but was the verse technical? no it wasn't. canibus' verse on beast from the east is the greatest rap verse ever in the golden age era.

what's this list gotta do with the discourse? another attempt of yours to distract from the crux of the issue. when i said everyone would laugh, i meant the listeners or rap fans.

VillageBoi: ^ ^ ^
Yup cos he should have titled it 'Breaks opening weekend box office'.

coogar: you just don't get it, do you?
eminem has expanded where rakim & co left their pen game in the past. lyricism has evolved & it now entails assonance, enunciation, cadence, polysyllabic rhymes even as internal rhymes. take renegade for example when eminem cannibalised jay-z on blueprint.......

Now who's the king of these rude ludicrous lucrative lyrics?
Who could inherit the title, put the youth in hysterics?
Using his music to steer it sharing his views and his merits
But there's a huge interference, they're saying, "You shouldn't hear it."
Maybe it's hatred I spew, maybe it's food for the spirit
Maybe it's beautiful music I made for you to just cherish

there's no way you can tell me any rapper in the golden age era had such technique to rhyme 5 syllables together both as internal & end rhymes like eminem did here. this is why these songs appeal to the average listener even if you don't understand the meaning of what he's saying. the beauty about such lyricism is eminem makes sense when his rhyme patterns are this complex. you don't even want to know how difficult it is to create something like this while still trying to convey a message. i mean, even if you are his biggest critic or hater, you have to give it to the white boy - he's taken this art to another level & he's not done yet.



so what's your objection with eminem being the rap god?

coogar: obsessed?
are you kidding me? how can you even say kool g rap or rakim started multi-syllables? they only made it better than their predecessors - just like eminem now does it far better than rakim/kool g rap.

grandmaster flash, sugarhill gang, furious 5, boogie down productions in the early 80s all had multis in their lyrics. rakim & kool g rap pushed the pen harder & revolutionized it. eminem has taken over now & he's the most prolific with it. when physicsQED comes back, i have something to show him.

richP: i know. but mainstream rappers like Em, macklemore, yelawolf. would be skinned by the media if they used it on a track. to me this is reverse racism
