good hip hop

[NESK]

yo, who put me up on that hezekiah lp a while ago? i finally found the lp and its really nice. im gonna find that post and rep a nigga.

[ProfMonnitoff]

K-Os is the only artist ever whose "Greatest Hits" CD (in his case Collected) exceeds everything else he's ever done.

But DAMN that's a good CD.

[Guest DUM]

I downloaded he Hezekiah album ktothe recommended too.

It has since been deleted. yawn.

[NESK]

ya played ya self. it took afew times through to sink in, but im really digging it.

[Guest supernoob]

Hell nah! Q-Tip totally ruins that shit, embarrassing is what it is! That beat was one of the best on Donuts and compared to that this track is nothing short of crap. I fucking hate Q-Tip for spitting such a weak verse on it.

wen was his last GOOD verse??? vivrant, just a vivrant thang??

[ProfMonnitoff]

Yo, I was riding the train

And this Puerto Rican kid said simple and plain

Let's battle

It kinda took me by surprised

Cuz the brother was moving wit his eyes on the prize

I said screw it, I ain't got nuttin to lose but um

But I got to do this shit real quick so um

Hurry up kid, bust your joints and then I'll bust mine

And I be out cuz I got to see this hottie, he said ok

Now check it, check it out, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, that's what he said

Then I came back and just fucked up his head

Cuz yo, he thought an MC who was seen on TV

Couldn't hold the shit down in New York City

Aiyyo, I showed his ass, then I went off on my task

To bless her ass Uptown, real MC's will hold it down

Yea, yea, sonny, to the beat like that

You wanna bring it to me, where you at

[NESK]

id say tip was still pretty okay on the love movement. he been straight wack since, though. he might have had an okay verse on the she wants to move remix. i dont recall there being anything terrible abotu it, at least. but ya, his kamal the abstract and that neptunes track he did are very poopoo.

I was walkin' down the street about three o'clock

When I saw another MC at the end of the block

Talkin' to kids tellin' em, how they had to get the dough

So I rolled right up in the Cypher and said "Yo!"

Here is an example of a whack MC

Caught in the world and he just can't see

He said, "What? Aiyyo, you disrespectin' me?

Now I got to battle you and show them who the best be."

He started spittin', he said, "Somethin' somethin' hot."

Then he tried to talk about the money that he got

I said, "Shhh c'mon yo, that's all passe,

I got to break it down another way like this now.

Follow me here in this moment and time

Follow the rhyme created instigated to see the crime

You commit, when you sit in the past. Don't you know?

You construct a future based on everything that you know.

But to get to the unknown, we surely must erase

All the preconceived notions they keep throwin' up in our face

On the daily. I run over tracks like Donavan Bailey

And break every record, in less than ten seconds."

They said, "Oooooh! That's a real metaphysical.

We pull down the light cause the force is centrifugal"

He tried to act up I had to give in

Because the truth is an offense and not a sin, word life.

[ProfMonnitoff]

I love K-Os but there will never be a similar verse that bests Q-Tip's

Now check it, check it out, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, that's what he said

Then I came back and just fucked up his head

is just perfect

[soundbomber]

Yo the year is 2002

It's the end of the jiggy era

People on the planet Earth are tired

In an effort to aid a great shipment millions of bodies incarnate (GET UP!)

To rock mic's, complex, this hip hop alchemy

When I was a kid I watched Electric Company

Now I'm all grown living life to the bone

New tone, spaceship take me home

Back to the seventh sun the seventh one

When I drop patience, Kevin's Dun

This eloquent macula is black enough

To bring a shake to Dracula

Uh, I'm hitting them with synonym adrenaline

Then I send them to the kingdom of the heavens

A matter of time before this rhyme

Infiltrates the bloodstream into the mind

Of a man living a life in Babylonia

So lonely she went to California

Frisco, hypno's, get clothes

Crystals, take it back to the raw rap

(You, you blind baby. You're blind from the fact oh yeah cause you're

watching that garbage!)

(Chorus)

Ooh I love this girl

She's a superstar

You can change the world

You're a superstar

(Okay, here we go. Verse two.)

Yo, I got a lyrical shot aimed at the T. Dot

Telling me that you are, when you know that you're not

Uptown, chilling at the corner store

Thinking, "Why the hell do I front, I'm hardcore"

Like Castro, master flows pass the golden links

Whatever you think its all old, you get it?

Whatever the cost I will not floss

Emcees act the boss they all get tossed

Off the plank

Hold the dank I don't burn

I got a lot to say but really lots to learn

Turn, baby you're just not concerned

Whatever earned, thinking of the most high earned

I flip with this some hit, some miss

Don't get fooled by lyrical ventriloquist the twist

Most flee I'm Kris ?Najy?

Come back to flip rap

Do it to crowd make 'em clap

(Superstar, superstar, superstar)

(Chorus)

Ooh I love this girl

She's a superstar

You can't change the world

You're a superstar

(Get up! Get up! Come on!)

I'll more than likely enjoy Lupe's new album...but as a personality he puts me off. I remember when he used to post on HB. Posting his mixtapes and just seeming pretty cool.

you mean the blog thing? or he posted on forums?

[Guest DUM]

Lupe used to post on hypebeast forums. When hypebeast v2 started (site/forums changed some) he pretty much only posted pickups (freebies) for a little and now he just does that blog thing I guess.

[drizzle24]

The new Jay is better than I expected...American Dreamin' is fucking nice.

I'll cosign on that too, the last album, sounded rushed, but this one sounds very solid.

[Carl]

I heard a song the other night on power 96 and was hoping someone could identify it for me...did a google lyric search but nothing came up.

All i remember is the first part of the chorus, which went something like this:

"im proud to buy my own bag of weed..."

[NESK]

i cant wait to hear livin for the city. im assuming the stevie wonder sample gets flipped.

[Bona Drag]

Insight is ok. I never really cared much to get deep into his stuff, but Damu is crazy with beats, so this might be worth listening to.
