oh yeah and ef did you know that at the time az considered that verse horrible?

[PHAT-DUB]

Yo- how bout more specific lyrics-how bout Dope old school playah verses, I'll drop one from Dubee AKA Sugawolf-it's actually Mac Dre spitin', on the track-Game I'm Spittin(oh and by old school I mean anything 1996 an' before):

its got a bit of a spoken word rant startin' it off like this:

Mac Dre-Servin' phat game that you couldn't imagine
Boy I can talk a cat of a fish wagon
Or sell an Eskimo ice at a high price an' get him twice
Man I'm nuthin' nice, an' Game's my merchandise
I rock rhymes like Bass Rocked in '89
Lacein' young playah's gettin' 'em ready for shady times
No shady rhymes your garunteed to love it
An since I got much of it, its gunna cost a dubit
So get your skrilla, yuh fetty an' ya mell
An' holla at me Folks,-I got Game for sale____________

then first verse:

Muther fuckers jock me, cause I be dope when I be flowin'
Suckers try ta stop me, but I honk an' keep on goin'
I'm simply not the type that likes to kick it wit a square
I kick it wit the bitches-Filthy rich cause I'm a playah
Time an' Time again, n****s always ask me-
Why do ho's jock you, when you spit rap so nasty?
I look 'em in the eye, an' I reply 2 the question-
Game is to be taught-so let me teach your ass a lesson
Bitches love n****s who can pop alot of shit
Sprung on the tongue, so they jock for the dick
I neva met a broad, that didn't like the way I laced her
Poured the ho some game an' served pimpin' as da chaser
Punks can't understand the shit that I teach in the verse
Rappin' bout that bitch, an' how she reach in her purse
It takes a true playah, to really recognize
Its all about that money-not that shit between the thighs!
Suckers love pussy mo' than money, an' they show it
They eat it, an' misstreat it, an' they even pay fo' it!
I truly don't know why the fool's be saltin' up the game
Real N****s Pimp!-But you don't hear me mayne
I know this mutha fucker who won't hesitate to hit a bitch
A right to the jaw, is what I saw, when he got wit his bitch
Showin' no mercy fo' them ho's that be flossin'
Actin' like they all that-when they only good fo' tossin'
I feel the same way about these bitches that be Fakin'
Ho's ain't shit-unless they bringin' home the Bacon!
An' if its like that, then I act like I love the ho
But when I'm not wit her-Man-I'm dickin' down another ho
N****s know what I flow, is nuthin' but tha real shit
Fuck the fakin' broads/shit/Get you a real bitch!

just throwin' the chorus in fo' the fuck of it:

I Don't be Bullshitin' wit this game I be spittin'
So pay Attention to this Game that you gettin'
It's kinda foul, an' sum say wil(d)
But I'm servin' it real the only way I know How

^that shit may not be exact but it's gunna have ta be close enough-;)
yo peace all!

[leatherface187]

damn inna i dont know how but somehow i forgot about the rza when i was thinking of great lyrics, but i still love how pun flipped it, to me a 600 pound man flippin them lyrics how he did was crazy.

nas shit is alway lyrical as hell too, never realy been disapointed by his albums, a couple of songs maybe but never a whole album.

new topic:

if you were gonna be signed to a major label, what would it be?

id probably say def jam cause of the possible collaborations that could come out of that

[Young Ef]

Interscope all day

i wouldn't sign to Def Jam Cause tha promotion sucks if they dont feel u will do numbers only artist they pump hard is Jay-Z and its always been that way even before he ran da fuckin lable

[innaspace]

yeah true forgot about promotion wise but still interscope has had its flops too.

i would be pretty damn mad if i were MOP right now

[Young Ef]

well u can't blame the lable u have to kind of blame M O P at this point

they have been struggling to do numbers for years....shit to even get another album out

and all this gangsta shit robbery shit they talkin u would think that they would have put out they own shit tried to go independant do somethin to get they name buzzin, they vets in this game and kinda just sitting around waiting for a hand out theey dont seem as tho they want to be in the industry witch is fine if that is the case but if they do then they need to do somethin for themselves

[innaspace]

goddamn a new MOP album with the right production and guest spots would be amazing for me right now

MOP + DMX = Classic

never heard a collabo between them yet, dont think i ever will either :(

[Young Ef]

i hope it doesn't come out u no how annoying that would be all dat yellin and barkin on one track would make me throw my pc lmao

New Topic

hasn't XXL become da best magazine ova the years??

Seriously XXL went from shit to da shit and now they own Scratch magazine so jus imajine da flava dey gonna bring ova there

and now they got DVD magazines also

[innaspace]

i hope it doesn't come out u no how annoying that would be all dat yellin and barkin on one track would make me throw my pc lmao

lmao

xxl is pretty tight but i like scratch alot more mainly cause its more producer oriented

[Young Ef]

yeah i think they can do a better job merging the two..like havem ore stories about da producers and what hot records they produce dand have them and da artist in da rom talkin bout yeah this is how we formulated this here

[innaspace]

source fell of hardcore, imo they fell off after they gave lil kim 5 mics

she mustve sucked alot of dick to get that rating

[innaspace]

one more classic verse, had to do it

[Talib Kweli]
Yo Dee (What?)
Come on (Yeah..)
What? What? Come on
(Yeah)
Give me the fortune, keep the fame, said my man Louis
I agreed, know what he mean because we live the truest lie
I asked him why we follow the law of the bluest eye
He looked at me, he thought about it
Was like, I'm clueless, why?
The question was rhetorical, the answer is horrible
Our morals are out of place and got our lives full of sorrow
And so tomorrow comin later than usual
Waitin' on someone to pity us
While we findin beauty in the hideous
They say money's the root of all evil but I can't tell
YouknowhatImean, pesos, francs, yens, cowrie shells, dollar bills
Or is it the mindstate that's ill?
Creating crime rates to fill the new prisons they build
Over money and religion there's more blood to spill
The wounds of slaves in cotton fields that never heal
What's the deal?
A lot of cats who buy records are straight broke
But my language universal they be recitin my quotes
While R&B singers hit bad notes, we rock the boat
of thought, that my man Louis' statements just provoked
Caught up, in conversations of our personal worth
Brought up, through endangered species status on the planet Earth
Survival tactics means, bustin gats to prove you hard
Your firearms are too short to box with God
Without faith, all of that is illusionary
Raise my son, no vindication of manhood necessary

chorus

[Mos Def] Not strong
[Talib Kweli] Only aggressive
[M.D.] Not free
[T.K.] We only licensed
[M.D.] Not compassioniate, only polite
[T.K.] Now who the nicest?
[M.D.] Not good but well behaved
[T.K.] Chasin after death
so we can call ourselves brave?
[M.D.] Still livin like mental slaves
[both] Hidin like thieves in the night from life
Illusions of oasis makin you look twice
[both] Hidin like thieves in the night from life
Illusions of oasis makin you look twice

[Young Ef]

in light of current situations i feel inclined to talk about the possible death of the mxitape..

All of this time where we ranted and raved about hip-hop being dead and right under our eyes the mothafuckin RIAA was building a case against the iPOD king.

Im going to try to write this without biased but some of the articles that are going around and some of the outlandished comments being made by emcees like lil pussy wayne and Duke da god i feel like i should say SHUT THE FUCK UP

First off Wayne...if it wasn't for sucess in the mixtape game in 2006 who the fuck would u be? so allow me to say a big fuck u to well maybe not duke da god but all of these artist who have gotten their sucesses from mixtapes now trying to tell these dj's how they should go about they business

this is the problem...you have to claim anything over 10gs with the IRS...these dj's are making well over that amount with these mixtapes and these RIAA mothafuckas are attaking the dj's because the money is in the underground and independant lables...

understands this...the RIAA directly works for and with the record companies to help regulate the numbers all the polotical shit that goes on behind the music...so basically in the past few years music sales mainly in hip-hop have taken a tremendus fall for the worst so these lable heads and lable directors are wraping their brains around the conundrum that is...failure to put out music...

half of the reason is independant companies such as Koch and Asylum the other is the quality of the music being put out....seeing as tho record companies can't do too much about either they will nip it in the bud from the bottom. Independant companies, lets try to close in on the comp, lets be real most artist get the push for these independant albums to sale due to what their mixtapes do on the streets

If lables shut down the mixtapes its a start to regaining the sales of major lable release because we dont get a new mixtape every week from our fave artist we will have to wait for those albums witch will boost up antipation there for artist will start selling...

i dont no but this whole shit got me tight...and the fuqqin RIAA works directly with these lables so they know jus as well as tha lables know that their is no bootlegging involved in this shyt....man im done

[innaspace]

very true^^^

thew way i see it though is this:

if mixtapes were not around an artist would have no where to spit their "real shit" (you know what i mean, artists will go commercial as fuck and use mixtapes as their outlet to do tight songs and shit). if there were not so many mixtapes and more albums rap today would be a lot less saturated with bullshit

my 2 cents
