i hate how ppl complain about today music but y'aLL don't spread the word or support hip hop when it's in your face. - DJ LEZ CHECK ME OUT
Give me a chance and read this! I'm a Producer and DJ from NY and I've been making music for a long time. I spend almost all my time on my dream, so please check me out and listen to my music, I don't want my efforts to go to waste so I reach out through messages like this. Thanks fam, peace! PS if you thumbs this up it will help alot!
Whazup! I am a 17 year old producer who tries to make his dream come true. I have been doing this for about 4 years now but started posting on YouTube just a few months ago ... I have had great messages from people. but I only got 200 subscribers so if anyone wants it would be nice if you could listen to my stuff, and you might want to Subscribe me after that. one more thing, if you like my shit you can of course thumbs up this comment so other get peoples get the chance to listen!
Eminem showed that he is sucker MC by doing a song whit Lil wayne, Rihanna... and all about he is rapping is about bitch mother, sad and rough life.......two words SUCKER MC.....no way that he is king of hip hop he is not even close to KRS ONE.....RAKIM GOD.....SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH I AM FROM CROATIE (EUROPE)
As much as I love music like this, we can never return to this. Times have changed, technology has changed. Starter jackets, coogi sweaters, kangol, are all in the past. The best we can hope for is progression in the right direction. A rebirth. For hip- hop culture to find its place in this new day and age. Thats all I want.
It amuses me that people are peddling "How To Rap books,"and here is Hip-Hop's most erudite brother spitting lava - and where did he learn this from? Well, it wasn't a fucking book, that's for sure! It's called swag, talent, skillz
If ppl from the ghetto had money to buy cd's, probably real hiphop still would be on top. Rap about ghetto ain't interesting no more, people who listen pop dont buy underrated rap no more.
I'm sick of all these How To Rap books. Just plain stupid! And it's laughable to try and sell something that brothers like Big L and Rakim NEVER needed in the first place! Inspiration is all you need, and skillz! Some don't have it, some do. If you need a book to tell you how to rap, logic dictates that we'll never hear your name in the same sentence as, say, Rakim, KRS-One, Nas, GZA. How to Rap? If you have to ask this, then do us all a favor: don't fucking Rap
There is no way Eminem is the king of hip-hop. Despite what Rolling Stone says. Rakim is uplifting, socially conscious and hardcore. Never had to use shock value or crossover.
@Rakabash ur 100% percent right even 2pac and everyone said rakim is none the best he set the beat for hip hop but eminem is not as good as rakim but eminem is one of the best i consider rakim first and em is on pacs level people say no just cause pacs dead but listen to eminems lyricks from recovery and the song infinite but any way rakim rules lol
@Rakabash You do know the rolling stone is run by "people" that look just like eminem. As a result, of course they will pick one of "their own" to be the so called king of something original people created. Don't sweat it....it's all tamahu bullshit.
@Rakabash That was back then, and after that he faded once he and Eric B split ways while Rakim tryin to compete solo with the mid 90's artists because Rakim 18th Letter and The Master wasn't the same as his early music in the 80's.
@Rakabash you are undermining ems musical talent. just because he has made songs that are controversial doesnt mean he depends on it. em in his prime (2000-2003) is right up there with rakim
@Bendotizzle let the kid have his opinion, he'll find out that pure coke shit he's listenin wudnt even be rappin if it wasnt for Eric B & Rakim layin the foundation
@sdotalfc no this is talent, i bet you cant do it, it takes skill, having intelligence to know what your talking about to the crowd, and its hard to keep up with a beat and flow at the same time. That is ignorant. That means no one would have talent because music is samples from different genres, either it be Hip-Hop, R&B, Pop, or Rock
All the guy said was that you guys sounds like your from a farm, and talk to a educated black person he or she would probably say the same thing but wouldn't say farm probably say you guys sounds ignorant. How is he racist relax EVERYTHING IS NOT RACIST. I'm Black and I'm saying this.
@sdotalfc What, you sound like a god damn hillbilly or something. And what lot? You must be some racist cracker pig. Well screw you, slavery is over, you can't control us anymore.

Rakim = better than 2pac and Biggie, just because they died they get it all! this guy created this style of rhyming, why isn't he as well known as big stars like Elvis and MJ? this dude is hip hop, it's like the way the rolling stones and the beetles get there respect in rock n roll, there's people in my neighbourhood in England who don't even know Rakim! Microphone fiend doesn't even have one million views! from now I'm starting a war! copy this on every youtube video to get Rakim even bigger!

92% of teenagers have turned to New school and Pop.If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music,copy and paste this message to another 5 videos. Don't let the real hip hop die
Rakim didn't flow on a beat, he RODE the beat like a 4-foot wave on a surfboard... Delivery and breath control perfect. When God thought of an MC, he HAD to have envisioned Rakim...
Some may follow, but nobody will get ahead, it's that simple. Rakim is impeccable, so fluid he's off-the-hook Dope, liquid Gold! Man, this brother is like opium to the ears; you can free-base The "R" off the speakers, no other MC comes even close: he was at his zenith in 86, and today he's twilight years ahead, both lyrically and philosophically.

Greatest rap group ever! Greatest MC ever! Greatest DJ ever! Anybody see Michael Bivins and Dolemite cameos. These dudes weren't a rap group, they were a revolution.
He is Muslim, and REAL Muslim people don't swear or talk negativity. The prophet Mohamed (PBUH) said "If someone is wanting to speak, either talk good or be quiet". but still most of Muslim people don't respect that rule because they forget it.
I thought the ghetto was the worst that could happen to me I'm glad I listened when my father was rappin to me/Back in the days they lived in caves exiled from the original man the ways of slaves Now that's what I call hard times I rather be here to exercise the mind.....Who the hell could fuck wit that? NOBODY lol
After all these years, I wonder if ERIC B is MUTE...LMAO....If he is, that is the BADDEST MOTHER F-ING MUTE ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET! I don't think I have ever heard him talk. He always looked so smooth and deep in all they videos.

Rakim = better than 2pac and Biggie, just because they died they get it all! this guy created this style of rhyming, why isn't he as well known as big stars like Elvis and MJ? this dude is hip hop, it's like the way the rolling stones and the beetles get there respect in rock n roll, there's people in my neighbourhood in England who don't even know Rakim! Microphone fiend doesn't even have one million views! from now I'm starting a war! copy this on every youtube video to get Rakim even bigger!

I split seas For Moses Shine permanently Only my mind’s Concernin' me Fire burns in me Eternally Times Eternity Followers turn on me They’ll be in a mental infirmary Determinedly Advance technology Better than Germany Since the first days you know of Til the last days is over I was always the flower I made waves for Noah From a compound To the anatomy To the breakdown Of a atom Some of my rap patterns Still surround Saturn From the ancient hieroglyphics

You say Justin Bieber-I say Tupac
You say Lil Wayne-I say Biggie Smalls
You say Drake-I say Ice Cube
You say Soulja Boy-I say Rakim
You say New school-i say shut the fuck up
You say Pop-I scream Hip Hop!
You say Hannah Montana-i fucking punch you in the face
92% of teenagers have turned to New school and Pop.If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music,copy and paste this message to another 5 videos. Don't let the real hip hop die

Some may follow, but nobody will get ahead, it's that simple. Rakim is impeccable, so fluid he's off-the-hook Dope, liquid Gold! Man, this brother is like opium to the ears; you can free-base The "R" off the speakers, no other MC comes even close: he was at his zenith in 86, and today he's twilight years ahead, both lyrically and philosophically. God said: Let there be Hip-Hop. And there was The "R".

He is Muslim, and REAL Muslim people don't swear or talk negativity. The prophet Mohamed (PBUH) said "If someone is wanting to speak, either talk good or be quiet". but still most of Muslim people don't respect that rule because they forget it.
