"One More Chance - Remix" is my favorite BIG song of all time.

Ha! Yes. Some of my fav lines.

I stay Gucci down to the socks
rings and watch filled with rocks
and my jam knock in the Mitsubishi
girls pee pee when they see me
Navajos creep me in they tee pee

Not even a great line, but one of my alltime favs.

"Lyrically I'm supposed to represent
I'm not only the client, I'm the player President"

Two Albums I'm Bumping that just came out are SPM, When Devils Strike and the New TechN9ne Ever ready, two tight new CD's

 

[Brandon_Webb]

I really dont like Jigga all that much, I dig about two of his songs (D'Evils and Dead Presidents II are ill) but I dont really like his rhymes at all. I def think that The Game and Ludacris are the best mainstream rappers out there.

My top 5
Biggie
Eminem
Immortal Technique
Pac
Nas

Honorable Mention
Wu-Tang

You need to dig up a mp3 out there Philly called "I'm a Biter". They basically take nearly every lyrical sample that Jay-Z has lifted and plays the original and then his. It is laughable how many of "his lyrics" arent his.

does anyone have this? i would be interested in hearing it.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

...still waiting for NEZ's and abomb's top 5 artists.

Heard it abomb. Cam is a f*****' clown. Granted Jay uses a LOT of other emcees lines, but not for lack of originality. He references a lot of dope lines by some of his favorite cats. Nothing wrong with that if you're puttin out fire yourself. Cam's tryin to discredit Hov's spit game which is damn near impossible.

I grew up with it. It was literally the first type of music I listened to that my parents wouldn't. The kids in my block would always dub something off for me.

BDP
Eric B and Rakim
De la Soul
Leaders of the New School
Public Enemy
A Tribe Called Quest
EPMD
Slick Rick
Brand Nubian
Kool Keith
Gangstarr
(leaving off so many)

Some newer ones:
Freddie Foxx
Big L
Redman
Black Moon

NEZ, I likey, I likey!

It could possibly be that it's Notorious B.I.G, and not Biggie you should be looking for. As far as availability you should be able to find it virtually any store. One of the greatest albums ever.

Be sure to get the reissue. It has a DVD of all his videos.

"Now I'm on the scene smoking blunts, making CREAM, on the drug scene f the football team, risk it, ruptured spleen by the age of 16, hearin' the coach scream ain't my lifetime dream, I mean, I wanna grow up, stack my dough up..."

 

[Brandon_Webb]

Huh, I really dont think i've seen it in stores. I've heard all of the songs I just want to have the CD

 

[Brandon_Webb]

Is anyone picking up the new Eminem Presents CD?

 

[Louis]

Got it.

I like it very much.

Eminem is back to his old self. Rippin' shiz up.

50 sounds hard on the cd too.

Not a big fan of fiddy. How many tracks in Eminem on?

4 or 5. He's got a solo track "No Apologies" where he just rips it. Check out cdnow.com and listen to samples of the tracks.

The new guys aren't too shabby. Cashis, Obie, Stat Quo, Bobby Creekwater.

Apparently the cd was intended to be a mixtape but it was too good to not have it as a major release.

My head hits the pillow, a weeping willow
I can't sleep, a pain so deep it bellows
But these cellos, help just to keep me mellow
Hands on my head, touch knees to elbows
I'm hunched over emotion just flows over
These cold shoulders are both frozen
You don't know me
I keep saying it, I can't stress it enough
So keep playing it, and stand next to the subs
I choke mics like affixation
When I'm strangling my own throat masturbating
F**k yeah I'm a basket case
And I mastered this rap sh*t till my a*s gets wasted
Till my assassination, till I'm slain cuz of some f*gs infatuation
.44 Mag's fascination a taste for disaster and if that's the case then

I'm waitin for that Ghostface myself. Soon as it hits the shelves.....

 

[schutd]

Look up Ratatat's underground remix vol 1. I think the versions are bettter than the originals in many instances. Also been listening to a lot of Busdriver and Aesop Rock. Also recently found out about babbletron. None of these are new releases (Busdriver has a new one coming in Mar 07) but I just discovered all of them, and they are excellent.

 

[Brandon_Webb]

Downloaded most of the songs off the re-up, has some pretty good songs, my favs so far are 'Talkin All That' and 'There He Is' just ill beats. Also downloaded the new Jeezy CD, not that impressive most of the beats are too alike.

Busdriver, ehhhh. He's okay. I just got turned on to him, but I think I have to hear more before I can endorse him. His flow is crazy though, that's for sure.

[Avondale Red Rage]

Just picked up 7 CD's for Christmas

GZA "Liquid Swords"
Dead Prez "Lets get Free"
Big L "Lifestylez Ov Da Poor and Dangerous"
Clipse "Hell Hath No Fury"
Ice Cube "Amerikkkas Most Wanted"
Atmosphere "You Can't Imagine How Much Fun Were Having"
Raekwon "Only Built 4 Tha Cuban Linx"

My favorite would have to be Atmospheres CD, so good, and least would def be the RZA's CD, not feeling it at all.

Brandon, are you talking about Raekwon's Only Built For Cuban Linx or are you talking about the RZA's last album?? If you're talking about Rae, I would have to go the complete opposite way with you on that. OBFCL is one of the top 25 best hip hop albums EVER!!!!
