Historian Himself enters a Rap Contest - Micah B - Cannon (Lil' Wayne)

[TheAcerbia]

Your voice is soooo unique, it reminds me of AesopRock a ton, your lyrical content is mesmerizing, you've got such a presence behind the mic. I'd seriously fallen out of rap, it went bland to me, it got repetitive--you reminded me why spoken verse is compelling, thank you for that.

[HistorianHimself]

@TheAcerbia

hahha i agree rap is fucking boring these days. glad you enjoy my stuff. it's nice to hear that there are other people out there who don't just want to hear the same formulas regurgitated endlessly.

[TheAcerbia]

@HistorianHimself By the way ! Right after I posted that comment, just found you the other day, sadly. I went and downloaded your album. Holy shit man. You've got everything. Shit with a hook, shit with pure flow, power tracks driven by pure verse. I haven't got that fucking amped in a long time. I'll be spreading your name everywhere I go. Talent like yours doesn't come around everyday.

[HistorianHimself]

@TheAcerbia thanks. the support is appreciated.

-h

[Cowboi559]

Still one of my favorites of yours

[ifitsalrightwithyou]

I still can't believe this only has 12k views. That is ridiculous. I come back and watch this every now and then just from it getting stuck in my head at random

[HistorianHimself]

@ifitsalrightwithyou

share it more. again.

[jegz55]

how does this guy not over a million views?

[ashtondrakestorm]

still one of the dopest emcees...

[ifitsalrightwithyou]

This should have 111, 000,000 views.

[Taunt86]

this still after countless times of listening sends a shiver down my spine ^_^ dud thats really some legendary work.

[jamessclar]

duuuuuuude, Your music is THE Cooooooolest I have EVER HEARD!!! THANK YOU ! your AWESOME!

[kylegreene1]

i cant even describe in words how good i think this is. original flow, unmaterialistic, and incredibly smart. you sir are my inspiration.

[PervertedTV]

u r funny man!

[satanismylovechild69]

I find myself coming to watch this video just about every other day. This is sick, wish it was longer. Every time when it's over I'm just like damn...it stopped.

[numchaps20]

HA HA!

you did it again my dude, this is as raw and gritty as hip hop gets.

odb would be proud

[liquidmetal12]

Holy shit, bro. Can I give you 19 stars?

[HistorianHimself]

yeah, but you gotta make some more accounts...

[GreySparks]

Nice tunnel. Would have been cooler if it was natural though..... Unless you were creating a connection between cavemen and the constructs of today...?

[HistorianHimself]

I agree, but I was on a tight schedule, don't own a car and this tunnel was within walking distance of my house.

That said, the connection you mentioned did occur to me, as did the connection to the urban myth of "sewer gators," so I felt like I had enough justification to not use a proper cavern.

[GreySparks]

@HistorianHimself Haha, yes, fair enough. If only there were unlimited resources..... then again, that would make life much more boring.

Good that you thought of a few more (creatively-viable) reasons for using this tunnel though.

Your way with words is awe-inspiring......

[BretMenoche]

this is my first time listining to ya man but honestly u should be called the rap philosopher cuz all ur rymes are philisophical

[666yousuck666ha]

The onIy rap I Iisten to is yours! It's fucking amazing!

[mishrathium]

EPIC. ~ Raz

[ifitsalrightwithyou]

I mean "enough to crush bones, rip limbs and disable vital systems." ...damn thats good

[StoneCrowUK]

the only good rap remaining is the stuff thats too weird for radio. or kids bedrooms

[OfficialTwigg]

haha I'm 14 and I don't listen to Soulja Fag and I don't jerk, I hate all that mainstream shit, when i go to my room and listen to music I'm listening to Nas,Big L,2pac,BIG,Cypress Hill,De La Soul,Lupe Fiasco,Krs-One,Rakim,Mos Def,Mc Serch,Wu-Tang, The old eminem,Talib Kweli,Redman, and the list goes on man. Just to let you know not all teenage kids are listening to garbage radio music.

[StoneCrowUK]

you got good taste man,

[hereswhatisee]

rap sucks, hip-hop is barely tolerable repetitious crap, you are neither, so why build a box around yourself with labels you walked away from the moment you smelled the stench their limititations?

with you the box is already nearly extinct, indistinct, faded to 10 percent opacity, I know this to be true cuz you banged a chord inside me like I wanna twang in you

WAKE UP and smell your own coffee brewin, dinosaurs spewin fire into the unknown screaming I...AM...ALIVE!

...and the box fades

[HistorianHimself]

Aaaaahhhh... someone gets what I'm going for...

but you think I don't?

Also, for the record: there is some good rap/hip-hop, it's just buried by a bunch of bullshit. I hope you'll join me in digging for it...

[hereswhatisee]

sorry, of course you know, my enthusiasm and frustration got the better of me, my apologies.

enthusiasm at something of this level, frustration at the limitations inherent in Man's slow uptake on yet another vital element.

but life is a work in proress, mass has enertia to overcome, etc... I'll try to be more patient. :)

[HistorianHimself]

Oh, no worries.

I certainly wasn't offended by the challenge in your comment - more than anything I find it deeply encouraging!

And indeed, I agree, the box could stand to fade some more...

[oakr8r]

Just found you about 10 minutes ago on that THUNDERING EARTH BEAST TECHNIQUE rap battle...

At least from what I heard already... your shit is fire dude

Glad to see a lot of people still know what HIP HOP IS ABOUT... not killing your people or showing off how much money I don't have.. haha

Downloading the album now...

Heh. Yeah, I didn't want to say anything because I appreciated "conceptmuzic's" compliment, but, yeah, I'm pretty sure I don't sound anything like Immortal Technique...

Thanks for the compliments and discourse, both of you.

[FrankinStoner]

[ScErYFrAnKLaNk]

[cwazmann1]

Twisted, morbically sick!!! Your song is tight homie!!

[taleslo]

that shit was pretty sick, your voice reminded kinded of aes rock at the end of the second verse.

Either way, your the first person ive seen to put some trippy abstract underground on youtube. i hope someone with a label sees some of your stuff someday.

[haphmanhaphamazing]

[HistorianHimself]

Hey thanks man. I don't expect to win either, just wanted to put something different in for everyone who likes hearing rhymes that aren't just about rhyming, bitches, guns and material bullshit. Glad you liked it.

[YouIAmMusic]

haha this is tight dude!! love the voice homie!!

[jlopezmuzik]

dirrrty, but i think the beat didnt fit the lyrics:P

[HistorianHimself]

when i hear this beat the hand claps sound to me like croc jaws and tendons snapping. the brass sounds like blood and adrenaline and the bleating of ruminants. i also hear poacher rifles. that's why i wrote what i did.

[jlopezmuzik]

ic, lol , to each his own

[ifitsalrightwithyou]

well whatever made you write it...its tight as shiiiit

[HistorianHimself]

Crocodiles made me write it.

[tokemyoak]
