- Rakim (widely considered the best MC of all time) and
definitely in my top five

- Ice Cube - his early stuff is still amazing

- Biggie Smalls - see "Ready to Die"

- Nas - see "Illmatic"

- Ghostface - see "Supreme Clientele"

It's all about personality.
That's what separtes Jay-Z and Cam'ron from your typical
gangsta fare and what separates Dizzee Rascal from your
average grime MC.

Personally I would say in no particular order:

Jay Z
ODB
Notorious BIG
Chuck D
Ice T

Yes, they're all famous, but that's because they deserve the
love.

i dunno, i just dont like beans and cloudead and atmosphere
and all these backpacker types, they may be different but
theyre not good

offline swears from junk sleep on 2006-07-19 16:36 [#01940101]
Points: 6474 Status: Lurker



Hmmm...ok.

But I like ODB because he was so weird and different without
being backpackerish or "underground" at all.
I like a few undie rappers though: Mos Def, MF Doom, Necro,
Kool Keith, the ginger fella out of Company Flow....but they
lack the swagger that's made hiphop so good since the
mid-nineties.
Anyone remember Camp Lo? They were great too.

prefuse-73 is a f*cking

rapper.

either way he is a full on genius.

rapping is:

a) a novelty stretched thinner and thinner
b) for angry white teenagers
c) the blast

"I like a few undie rappers though: Mos Def, MF Doom, Necro,

Who cares if they were a-t the beginning of the movement or
not? Rappers can have improved the way they rap over the
years can't they? BTW I'm sure that MF Doom and the other
guys u name have been in the business for years.

As for Prefuse 73 : no it's NOT a rapper, at least wai.t for
the "best hiphop producers" thread please

Put some wax on the trax and slide on onta here
Hane hane hane hane hane

Hatchets in the corner ears to the ground
Improve to the groove get down to the sound
Buttons and bows and bleu blanc rouge
All things lively must be used
Liberte, egalite, au jour dhui cest tres tres tres
Voici lopportunite nous incroyables

I got the moves they got the grooves
Summoned the gods and they all approved
Bad vibes akimbo on the shelf
Bit of a rap thing going for myself
This gold on the teeths no sense at all
It only matters when its on the wall

Im standing here with my four men
Lets start that rapping thing again:

Marco, merrick, terry lee, gary tibbs and yours truly
In the naughty north and in the sexy south
Were all singing I have the mouth
In the naughty north and in the sexy south
Were all singing I have the mouth
I have the mouth

So tired of anarchists looking at me
Dont need their credibility
Destroy, they say, defy! condemn!
As long as you dont destroy them
With twenty years of drugs and drink
I thought the time had come to think
About standing up and saying that
Its tragedy and such old hat

Im standing here with my four men
Lets start that rapping thing again:

(I got) marco, merrick, terry lee, gary tibbs and yours
truly
In the naughty north and in the sexy south
Were all singing I have the mouth
In the naughty north and in the sexy south
Were all singing I have the mouth
I have the mouth

These happy feet are all we need
Summoned the gods and they all agreed
These feet wont stop theyre in such a hurry
I knock it on the head and I go for a curry
Staying sober can be neat
Get drunk on these here happy feet
Keep on trying to pin me down
Why a title for your sound?
Im standing here with my four men
Lets do this rapping thing again:

I got marco, merrick, terry lee, gary tibbs and yours truly
In the naughty north and in the sexy south
Were all singing I have the mouth...

and you cant fuck with that.....

you know those pictures of people when they take half of
someones face and mirror it and you get this weird
completely symmetrical version that makes you feel a bit
queasy when you look at it?

now look at The Schwarz's face, especially round the
nose/teeth/chin area.
