[Wireless]

classic!

[TheDKSN]

@ThaPacsta are you joking right now? Cause if not you are one of the stupidest people Ive ever seen talk on the internet.

[Nanakiih]

@ThaPacsta So, what ideology you defend that hard that you have to go that far as shouting to others, like you have done in previous messages, harassing me in almost every message you have sent to me here. ..Thank god im not taking you personally, why should i. =)

[Nanakiih]

@ThaPacsta I give up on you. ='( ..dont blame the reality; you're the one controlling your own life. Should you take the responsibility for your very-own life already? Question your own thoughts, opinions and reactions the most.

[Nanakiih]

@ThaPacsta Sigh, I repeat, I am not saying anything about wutang clan being a legend, if asking me, my opinion? Im sorry, im not going to attack you back if thats what you want, no, i am not going to defend my opinions, explain them.

Tell me mon, in which part of my messages you got the picture of me suppoorting Wutang clan or any other "legend" as their title "legend" says? Nada. If someone sees an artist, group as a legend to him/her, let him/her. What do you lose by doing so?

[Nanakiih]

@ThaPacsta Did you just readed what I just said, or ended up reading your conclusions? I am not, saying, a thing about wu-tang clan here being a legend or such. And, if I were, are you really saying that I need a professional help in a case where I like different kind of music than you? You're actually starting to get a bit more interesting to me now. :)

[Nanakiih]

@ThaPacsta :'D Anyway, why are'ya so angry 'bout this ? And no, im not categorizing music into a right or wrong -kind, I have no need to. *referring into your comment about Wu-Tang Clan.* I like their music too, some songs, that's it. Im not going to preach my every opinion like as if they were more right than yours.

[Nanakiih]

@ThaPacsta hey dude, chill more, blame less. Words can't be retarded; they're related to culture, people are grew in different kinds of culture, just like you have. Sayin' that certain word is "retarded", you have just proven yourself being just as worthy as a retarded -being, whatever it stands for you. Peace.

[TheDKSN]

@capsule56 Neither is butt sex but clearly you do it cause only a fag would say that. Weed is why i live.

[McLovinMcNugget]

@ThaPacsta wtf? i wasnt being an asshole when i said that, and ur gonna come on to me and call me a capitalist dumb brained cunt? first off, i dont vote, i dont trust the government, and i get A's and B's in all my classes. why do u judge me just because i expressed my opinion? if anything, ur more likely to be some government asshole who questions my patriotism just because i said something thats not what the establishment wants me to say, so fuck off u ignorant dumbshit.

[McLovinMcNugget]

@ThaPacsta ouch, idk about that, C.R.E.A.M.? ur talkin about one of the best songs ever in hip-hop history. its a great piano loop in this song, but i cant say it matches up to C.R.E.A.M. maybe thats just my opinion, but Wu-Tang are legends, RZA was my all-time favorite producer. 2nd, primo, 3rd maybe dre, 4th, 7L, 5th, DC The MIDI Alien.

[boligrapho]

they come up with some sick beats!

[TheRealEMURSE]

I think back to when this album dropped I was just getting into smoking weed and drinking booze

[capsule56]

@TheRealEMURSE

That's not healthy. 

[HighandMighty609]

This is tough man....real music for real ears...you gotta love it....underground artists like MURS, CYNE, BLU, BRO ALI, ESOTERIC, TOP SCHOLARS, Jay Electronica, Big KRIT ALL NEED TO BE LISTENED TO BY THE MASSES!!!Please pay them their respect!

[Ironbuns123]

let's take a step to think back...

[leppinky26]

sad there is only a litttle bit of views

[IRS320]

7L is the most underrated producer of all time

[cry12344]

i want to hear someone sample this in a song.

[djbenzo]

HAAHAA 95.3 Street Beat Harvard radio back in the days. I used to listen to that too. DJ Def Jeff from RSO. BACKINDADAY

[TheWorldrider]

DOPE!!!!

[johnjnukemsheridan]

Awesome post :)

[FilipinoKid1337]

Don't get me wrong, I like these guys, but they are far from the best

eminem is better.

[PositivelyPoeticMc]

@FilipinoKid1337 shit eminem ain't even in top 30 all time,eminem is okay but he's not as good as these cats and a lot of others emcee. And eminems new shit is getting weak.

[RADO420]

@PositivelyPoeticMc yo eminem is on the top 30 all time list, hes not top ten, hes not even be the best white rapper all time, but hes on the list, don't fool yourself lol..

[PositivelyPoeticMc]

@RADO420 Yeah I know Eminem is good,but better then Esoteric,nope,Eso will beat eminem in battle,Esoteric is better then Eminem in my book,I still look as Eminem as being good real emcee,he's not like the other mainstream pop rappers. Eminem is actually pretty good,he's new music is okay,whether listen to that than any other song on radio,or then soulja boy or justin bieber's whack ass.

[PositivelyPoeticMc]

@RADO420 oh and did you know eminem got his style from masta ace,I swear they sound the same,but masta ace is a legend,and he started way before eminem,so em got his style from masta ace.

[RADO420]

@PositivelyPoeticMc em got his style from ALL the people he listened to growing up pac, big, nwa, the list go's on... you said "(ace) started way before eminem,so em got his style from masta ace." are you shitting me, you must have the rong cd in the deck boy, you should make sure you know what your talking about before you just type shit, next your gonna say necro stole his style from atmosphere... cus you swear they sound the same lol... and personally, i feel infinite was eminem best album

[PositivelyPoeticMc]

@RADO420 Who started rapping first? I'm pretty sure masta ace started in '80s or maybe early 90's,Masta ace is a old school artists,you can't call eminem old school,even though he started in 90 something,he wasn't old school,old school is 80's hip-hop,tupac ain't even old school,and that's just my opinion cause masta ace and eminem do sound exactly the same.

[RADO420]

@PositivelyPoeticMc back to the typing thing.. i never said anyone was old school in my response, so dont say i said it, look back. and why do u care who started rapping first? i said eminem got his style from all kinds of rap growing up? u ok buddy?

the point im trying to make is IN MY OPINION (and thats all we got on youtube) , they are more different, than similar, for example take, eminem - ass like that, try and find a similar masta ace song, or Eminem - Just The Two Of Us. u got one?

[PositivelyPoeticMc]

@RADO420 Yes obviously they write about different stuff,of course their not going to write about the same,real emcee's write different,And I still think of Eminem as a real emcee,don't even need to say real just the word emcee says it all. I was just referring to the way their voice sounds,well maybe not really style then,more just their voice sounds the same,I kind of see your point now,their's a difference between style and just voice.

[mconionhead]

@RADO420 em def was influenced by masta ace dumbass. get your facts straight buddy.

[RADO420]

@mconionhead how about u suck my dick, i never said he wasent influenced by masta ace, i said he was influenced by all the people he listened to growing up, read what i said... fuckin retard

"IN MY OPINION (and thats all we got on youtube) , they are more different, than similar," thats what i said... how the fuck could u miss that lol.. wow get your reading skills straight buddy.

[wasguan]

his flow reminds me of inspectah deck.. both rappers are sick..

[Doodie691]

@wasguan there is only one rapper 7L is a dj

[wasguan]

@Doodie691 i was talking about esoteric and inspectah deck

[BR1AN21SON]

stop complaining about dudes voice. this shit is ILL!

[SeanTheIrishman420]

Buddy of mine introduced me to these 2 guys, been lovin them ever since, they got they own style, and 7L's beats are off the hooook

[123456kyla]

STRAIT KILLZZZ!

[cry12344]

BE ALERT IS DOPE TOO...7L ES !

[centralcoastbum]

n they say white guyz caant rap

[leohumhum]

tres japonisant tout ça

[sonek385]

LOve the beat sick flow

[bphreezy]

whoa, i'm bobbing my head to this, okay...yeah...

[ttaminodnis1]

hes got a lisp hahahaha

[curlyhairedmofo]

yeah so? if he didn't have it, he probably wouldn't sound so flowish... but im pretty its just his accent he got from where he lives/background.

[nemesis700]

you heard of kool g rap?

[janowitsch]

dope shit

[buddyguy1300]

melodic hypnotic...

[straydoglogic]

tetw34...you are exactly right..Eso is a BEAST!!! And 7L's beats are glorious!

[sdman96]

@straydoglogic esoteric always shows up vinnie paz

[RASTAPUNK777]

@sdman96 idk maan its pretty close i think JUS might get him tho

[dAxiNFLueNc]

check out outerspace sick as fuck

[tetw34]

these guys are the best in rap.

Seriously, never in my life, have i heard anyone sound this good in rap:)

[Ironbuns123]

@tetw34 U mean hip hop?

[Ironbuns123]

@Ironbuns123 Yup... you know it.. hip hop 24 7

[dizefx]

@tetw34 look up for AOTP (army of the pharaohs). atop is a group with these guys and some other good crazy mother fuckers: jmt, esoteric, demoz, celph titled and so on...

[TheRealEMURSE]

@tetw34 you got that right

[nemesis700]

this is fuckin dope as hell

[tetw34]

tink tink tink tink tink tink tink tink tink tink

tinktinktiktink

Piano is great.

[LuCaRiOfan94]

"lets take a sec to think, to a time when it was cool to call hip-hop rap"

hell, isnt that the truth. today rap is the farthest thing from hip-hop...

[CantHideSecretz42]

@LuCaRiOfan94 true that these guys are emcees not rappers, but some people dont know the difference.

[LuCaRiOfan94]

exactly man

hip hop = emcees

pop = rappers

hip hop and rap are hella different genres nowadays. should not be interchangeable terms at all...

[TheJuniorAce]

@CantHideSecretz42 I'm sorry but I'm tired of that bullshit, these guys are RAPPERS, they are rapping aren't they? Hip Hop= good rappers Pop= bad rappers. Rapping is what u do when u rap, and rappers are people that are rapping. And these people are rapping, although they are Emcees too.

[CantHideSecretz42]

@TheJuniorAce Ya i understand you, but rap is what people do and hip hop is what people live, theres a difference, but this type of rap is real compared to other rap like on the radio. An emcee is not exactly a rapper, its someone who expresses themselves lyrically....

[byron84]

@CantHideSecretz42

Like Puff Daddy?

[CantHideSecretz42]

@byron84 if i like him???...

[LuCaRiOfan94]

ya i shouldve made myself clearer. your right, rapping is an aspect of emceeing, so in that regard, i was actually wrong. but i think emcees are the true essence of hip hop. i usually dont like to call emcees 'rappers'. its like a demeaning term in my mind. emcees are people who rap but i dont like the word rapper

[PositivelyPoeticMc]

@LuCaRiOfan94 true I don't like the word rapper either,calling myself one or other emcees one,I prefer emcee.

[xfearbeforexx]

Any beat that samples the Crooklyn Dodgers is instantly awesome.

[THEPOPEBANNEDME]

Omg this song remember me of so many things... amazing...

[zwind999]

check out army of pharoahs..fuckin brutal

[ESOTERIC306]

my boi!!!

[penguinsauce87]

you can suck me off and your completely fucking up beast's reputation spamming him like this

[speakeasyproductions]

one of the best eso songs ever, before he got all lame.

[MetalMaskMilitia]

Agreed.

[dondee213]

amazing song

[petugue]

Far Eastern oriental music tone ! Very singular, I love it !

Thanxxx

[tetw34]

piano part is flawless

[robdibbles]

yea, but sage murgers everyone, including adem!!!! He demolished eso but i still love him more than sage! wat bout u dondee213?

[dondee213]

yup i like esoteric moer then any rapper in the world

[nemesis700]

sage is gay as hell...man that emo garbage in hiphop needs to be weeded out

[YoungDirtyCwalk]

the "let's take a sec to think back" sample is also used by Ap on I Remember or something like that, it was on his eastern philosophy album

[penguinsauce87]

if any of yall like to skate, this is the song you need to rock. throw on this song and just bomb some hills, or whatever turns you on. damn i love these guys!

[Bolli7]

the piano is amazing. love it.

[pisello1000]

Esoteric is spitting, 7l is only producing as far as i know.

[CrazySnakeManJaMie]

Or is 7L the producer?

[CrazySnakeManJaMie]

I know people are going to hate this question but I've only just been introduced to them.

Which is 7L and which is Esoteric on this track?

[edpwalters]

Esoteric is spitting, 7l is only producing as far as i know.

[CrazySnakeManJaMie]

thx! :)

[BOX5]

this joint is knot 110,i fuccs with it yell

[leetstyle]

oh my oh my oh my

[xUberdooMx]

Holy fuck this beat is super ill.

[loki1747]

7L makes some of the best beats, and esoteric can rhyme with the best of em.......i love undergorund east coast rap.......where hip hop started......nice to see people keepin the tradition alive =]

[thelakersforlife]

check out Jedi Mind Tricks if you like these guys. Stoupe from Jedi is the master beat maker in my opinion but esoteric can take anyone lyrically in my opinion

[dondee213]

sage franics beat him ina rap battle but ya esoteric is one of my favorites

[robdibbles]

coo, u know wat up! He's one of my favs 4 sure!

[toosal]

jedi mind is the shit, and pretty much all of the good underground like these guys outerspace apathy celph titled vinnie paz etc are in it

[reezellthia]

Soul Purpose best 7LES album.

[r4st4t4st4]

DC is better :P

[byron84]

this shit reminds me of not growing up in boston.

[nettekut33]

they dont represent boston.. they represent hip-hop, like any other rapper.. they are just proud to be from boston

[imtheFreshest]

ah ah ah fuckin awsome hot fuckin beat. straight piano yeah right!!!!

[puffdalah]

I AgrEe wiTh CRYSTALlY GrEEN. geT over The stereotypes AND YOULL SEE THE DOPENESS

[trueschoolmob]

dope!!!

[AlteredBeast81]

the whole Soul Purpose album kicks ass!

[enjoipanda21]

you are all fags 7l and eso have been and always will rep boston and real hiphop true heads know

[MetalMaskMilitia]

honesatly, i can put up with his voice, because of the things he says.

liking an emcee only because of their voice appeal is lame as fuck.

[djskizmarkey]

@MetalMaskMilitia not really,,,,,,its all up to the listeners opinion,,,it shouldnt matter what other people will think of you if you choose to factor that in to your decision,,,

[MetalMaskMilitia]

@djskizmarkey of course it's opinion, and i'm no saying it doesn't matter at all, i'm just saying with an emcee like esoteric, it's lyrics over everything else, at least in my eyes,. but i agree with u.

[johnjnukemsheridan]

@MetalMaskMilitia Uh...Jay Z???? Don't know bout you but that dude's voice puts me the f to sleeeeeep lol ;D

[johnjnukemsheridan]

@MetalMaskMilitia Thumbs up btw! Forgot to say on account of just waking up lol

[PositivelyPoeticMc]

@MetalMaskMilitia 100 times better then what's on the radio now,mainstream pop rap sucks,it's all about real Hip-Hop,underground and old school.

[Fritte656]

Esoteric's flow is insaine .

Great beat on this song .

but hes voice isnt the best .

[Markbeats]

His voice gives him that crazy flow

[tylerofbass]

Esoteric is one of my favorite rappers

he's from Boston, do you listen to the lyrics at all?

[SOLOMONDAYLE]

The Beat is Wicked...But dis kat sounds like he got a speech impedement....

[IslandGrower]

sagacitytheicon your a fuck nut

eso is fuckin ill

[crystallygreenery]

why are people so afraid of different in all facets of everything? i'll tell you what sucks, the mainstream media, that's what sucks. 7L & esoteric are awesome.

[sagacitytheicon]

esoteric sucks.

[Errorkin]

agreed.

[whatsupcuz1]

And comments like these with no logic is why Soulja boy was held up for as long as he was. Assholes who just listen for "big werds" or "a dance" and support it as rap should be drawn and quatered

[jiehercleverhiphop]

damn i live in paris and like so much esoteric and no concert in france how can this be unknown in france and in his own country(is it?)

[koelov]

7l and Esoteric aren't from France...

[playinbout]

actually i did see somewhere that esoterics dad or mum is french.

p.s. koelov, ur the guy who posted : cage-agent orange. keep doin that shit man

[MetalMaskMilitia]

i know hes half irish.

probably half french too.

could explain his accent a bit.

[forum666]

Its a Boston thing

[forum666]

Don't the lyrics alone help to assist you in where he they are from? Boston

[MetalMaskMilitia]

yes, thats where he lives.

but we are discussing his nationality.

which is probably irish and french, hence.. boston.

[14mm2]

do they sound frech to you...

[fullweedman]

this is the good hip-hop

[lowo669]

Guys this is so amazing hiphop !

btw, im telling you, check artist named Cyne. p'z

[UplowdaOvDef]

wow this is on some real shit, it mustve been great and a lot for Es to write about his whole entire past over this outstanding beat by 7l.

[UplowdaOvDef]

Oh and I forgot to mention that dope hook "To a time when it was cool to call hip hop rap." It's so true.

[AlcoholicNYGiantsFan]

this shit is fire. i love 7Ls beats with eso flowin over it. IDK what is is, i love ESO, and i LOVE 7L beats.

[djbjam]

just love it,purely for those hwo know what hip-hop means,not the fake motherfuckers

[ileavitt]

love this shit.

7L & Eso are gangster.

[MetalMaskMilitia]

wooooooo sick fucking beat by 7l

[dsdve]
