Hahah

No way

Loud and proud

I was down with Game since day one and still poppin!

My guilty pleasures are stuff like Jojo, Fergie, Christina Aguileriee, etc.

Err, um, I mean....

[Gnnr]

Haha, Logan dosen't want to hear it. He likes The Game and thats that. :P

[slideways14]

Gillie da kid from major figures ghost wrote all of cash moneys new shit. even wayne had admited that himself in interviews. im not talkin shit on wayne cuz i think his style of delivery is clever andi do listen, but he doesnt write his own lyrics.

Deltron Zero aka Del tha Funky Homosapien, they too have sick lyrics but there style of delivery totally kills the fact that they are so lyrically inclined

the game has nasty delivery and nasty lyrics. he brings a different genre of rap that appeals to some and not others. he is one of the few rap artist now who has relased two lp's (the documentery and doctors advocate) where all songs on the cd are good. not just 2 hits.

p.s. dan the automators 2k7 is the biggest garbage ever

Word, my opinion is only the opinion of a white kid who hasn't been in the game (no pun intended) for very long, nor have I listened to much of the Game. I heard a couple tracks, disliked them, and swore them off. I've never heard him live so my opinion is based on limited exposure.

[slideways14]

and you cant forget about Unknown prophets, or slug

[turbozxi]

NAS- would have be number one, solely because of Illmatic.

KRS 1- I think should be up there to, from BDP to present times.

Scarface probably be in there somewhere as well.

[jdm538]

Andrew E - dopest MC from the Philippines YO!

[PBucch]

Throw some D's on that bitch!

[Phlip]

Yo, piss in the staircase, blood on the pavement
I fill the quills with it let it spill on the pages
Compose another anthem for the killers and manglers
Villains and wranglers, fifth still in the chamber
Shit, I'm scientific but my reflex's gangsta
Pull out-rageous arms from the floor of the basement
Then bust 'nuff talons if my people's in danger
I'm Larry Davis, duckin' helicopter, hoverin' government agents
We muscle the language
What 'Riq spit will leave your shit in utter amazement
I'm hot brolic call it contagious
The shit the Roots started got these other artists going through changes
My vision is the strangest, the rhythm is anguish
Y'all n****z on the titty in your formative stages
Is something in the iris and the way I spit
That tell these other crab rappers I ain't fo' no shit
Black traumatic, so there you have it
My battin' average, over a phonographic assault, it's all classic
Thought, put ass-backwards rappers in a small package
Experience is all that is, I'm well established
Me and the mic in holy matrimony like a marriage
The technique in your reach, if only you could grab it
For me it's automatic, it's na-tu-ral, I'm that thoro
Poet for hire pack metal
You feel me?

[Chorus]


Yo, the load heavy
We walk around a little edgy, all ready and steady
Withdrawal like Darryl Strawberry, it figures
N****z mad from them cattle sandwiches and swine
Cryin' hard times, disadvantegeous, man listen
The story in the ghetto the same
Seem like it's just some things that never will change
Give birth to a style and won't give it a name
Talk 'bout consciousness it's a different thang
Envision again, the honorable 'Riq, general Hannibal speak
The understandable diabolique, animal style
Out of your dreams kid, you proud that you seen this
Fifth supreme linguist, a lyrical genius
Inject you with the broke down english
The most freshest and cleanest, 'Riq G's, guess what the fame is
Kareem's beat makin' me fiendish
Don't act shaky and squeamish, if you real make me believe it n***a

[Chorus]


Yo, the rebel Che Guevara
You felt another date, you better
Don't copped 'Thought's theater just save your cheddar
I hit the studio with a pen and a vendetta
Sippin' an ice cold Beck's, huffin' the tenth letter
Driftin', shots lickin while the plot thickens
Sands in the hourglass thinnin', the last inning
The flash and the cash and the fast women
It's nothing, a lust for the craft keep the passion and
Black, kissin' my tablet with firing pins
Poke holes in the plastic for oxygen
MCs jumpin' out shoes and socks again
Must have seen their face in the news it's gots to been
Thought known as the cure for cancer
Same corrupt city as Mumia the Panther
Man to man, hammer cocked, block and standoff
Bang, gun fiya slang up in the dance hall
Yo, I hold the mic that could be thrown as a pipe bomb
Bring it just to sling it at your favorite icon
Thing about my music is it ain't shit like y'all
Thought, diesel like a 28-inch python
You know what I'm saying?

When I'm on the mic there won't be no delayin...



+90 to the person to name the MC, song AND album

[Phlip]

This thread has me active and up past my bedtime:

Yeah, sitting in the staircase, holding back tears
Looking over mad years worth of photographs
Pictures of some places I ain't never going back
Some people I used to love, why I ain't show them that?
The skies was overcast, when I was sober last
My head is spinning, couldn't tell you if it's slow or fast
It's starting to get too clear, I got to go and grass
To y'all it's a shame but life is what we know it as
Waiting, navigating the plot, without plans
In the car, it's hard to read as a clock with no hands
How your man's goin' get up and stop with no yams
All it take is one break, it could pop the program
Whether sinning or not, my back bending like I'm sentenced a lot
I feel some brothers is beginning to plot
It might have been a close friend I forgot
Who started up and ain't remember to stop
I bet these n****s gon' remember the shock

[chorus]


Yo, I'm like Malcolm out the window with the weapon out
Searching for somehow to find a minute or the second now
Precious time is money that I ain't got to mess about
Need it from the horse's mouth or from my eyewitness account
Lessons with my back to the wall, scoping my session out
Stay a little edgy at times when I ain't stressing bout
Haters don't know shit about me, they the ones that talk shit
Those that love me send it out, so I ain't got to force quit
Cause I'm doing better now, don't mean I never lost shit
I was married to a state of mind and I divorced it, man
I'm from where brothers moving product from the porches
People locking their doors, clutching to their crosses
The block hot by the law, there ain't too many choices
So what I do is for y'all, there ain't too many voices left
I watch my back, and watch my step
And I might forgive, but I will not forget come on

[Chorus]

Yo, living in turbulent times
The blind leading the blind
Some call it evolution, some say intelligent design
You say you want a revolution, you out of your mizind
Your sons' destitute, and their pops all in the prison
My man's back in the jam, he like the back of my hand
He just attracted to scam, he right back in the can
I never sleepwalking, you dig
You get your shuteye
I'm on the first thing in, I'm leaving on the red-eye
My brother back in rehab, just had another relapse
Within himself, it's been like he's been fighting in a Jihad
Half telling me nobody true when they pretend to be that
So closer than friends, that's where I keep my enemy at
To many parties concerned, it's time to live it and learn
Until we're able to grow, forever bridges we burn
My thoughts free as a bird, that's just about to emerge
And every action is heard, it speaks louder than words, yo

[quasimoto]

in no specific order (off the top of my head)..
Big L
Son Of Ran
Genelec
Talib Kweli
Murs
Nas
The Notorious B.I.G.
Tupac
One Be Lo
Afu-ra
Quasimoto/Mf Doom (not the GREATEST MCs out there, but love their stuff)..

I really can't put together a solid "top 10."
I see alot of great MCs out there, just hard to decide..

[turtl631]

PHLIP: Second one's "Clock With No Hands" off their latest, Game Theory. I think that's my fav track on the album actually. Good stuff.

That is also correct, I hadn't offered for that one, but + rep for you too.
I am not sure if that song or "Can't Stop This" are my favorites.

[A Spec Products]

lol.. nah man, i asked jeeves.

--
current alarm:

when your mind is acting wild
&you swear you're insane
can't nothing help you out
of this trap you're in
you don't know which way to turn
&your head is in pain
can't nothing help you out
of this insanity
- moka only(swollen members); paranoia

--

forgot to list swollen members &necro.
many people dont really listen to psychological records (necro, ill bill, etc..)
due to the violent &twisted lyrics..
but i seem to love certain styles/tones MCs like necro use.

Haha, no way, I love that song! I'm terrible with song titles usually, but that's one I remembered because its so bizarre.

Funny thing, I have noticed about Blackthought and The Roots' songs and how they're titled.
Sometimes the song title SEEMS rather arbitrary, but you didn't notice that it was something said in a line early in a song. Both songs I named above are examples, so is "Web," from "The Tipping Point."
To jump genres for a second, Nirvana did the SAME thing with "Heart Shaped Box."

[bamaboy]

Nirvana.......man that was great music........oh oh sorry back on topic

[PBucch]

Where is all the love for Gary Grice/GZA/Genius!?!??!!

[Gnnr]

Hey, why don't you guys host the music somewhere. A song with a favorite verse, or a song that you think would help justify your MCs top 10 status. You can use Imeem.com like I did or youtube, google video, etc. Think that'll be a good way to get to hear new stuff. Better if its just the song alone and not the music video so we can concentrate on the lyrics and beat.

Because that oversteps legal boundaries that I do not want to get into.

[Gnnr]

Ahh, ok. True. Anyways, was listening to the new Nas album. He's definitely in the Top 10, crazy...
