Shabazz the Disciple

[smenkinsa]

all time favourite! dont sleep on him !

[mrpapafunky7879]

alot folks diiss him 4 dat brooklyn niggaz vid.kinda of the 2pac thing

[songotenz02]

"Make It Or Die Trying". That gave prelude to 50's "Get Rich Or Die Trying". In other words, 50 sort of stole that idea from him.

[diro91]

wouldnt be suprised

[songotenz02]

He mentions it in "Audiobiography" with Hell Razah from Razah's Ladder.

[prodigy57]

Be a witness, as I excersize my exorcism

[AfrikanGod1]

great words...

[VocabularySpill]

Shabazz = GOD

[cmschmit]

the God that is anyone, "To check fault in oneself is pure loveliness You break the mirror that remind you of your ugliness" GZA........... this is it 5% for life

[kunsura]

he is talking about waking the "fuck" up and leaving off the mundane things in life, rap "use to" talk about this, what happened, the fucking industry screw things up!

[ultracrunchy]

oh my goodness,....oh my goodness,....rap is one thing but it's no fun and dancing games when you talk your rap about what he's talkin about...power.

[BEDSTUY35]

wow shabazz i remember you oh my god you and my brother fault all the time when we was little hey keep up the good work

[nickrella]

Shabazz-WU Forever

[upabittoolate]

this is one of deepest, most slept on cats. i remember this when i was 19! he was probably a little too deep like on a PRT, or boogiemonsters tip. knowledge + flow= straight raw. 50 who? puffy how? li'l whatsy? young when?

[COJONESDELOSO]

yeah

[AliobotQ]

yeah man well put

[upabittoolate]

maybe im getting old. hiphop was good at one time. its not just because it was from new york because dre made some good music & goodie MOB was good & outkast were always excellent. timbaland made some good music too. but this shit today is mostly garbage. nowadays, they tickle your eardrum with synthesized music a the poetic element is gone. its just hooks, bells, whistles, smoke, mirrors & costume jewelry

[AliobotQ]

I know exactly what your saying (Except for the whole getting old part :P) But yeah, now-a-days hip hop (Or for that case, music in general) just doesnt have any soul. Its just another way to make a buck. Im glad people like beastie boys still rep and come out with funky breakbeat albums and stuff like that, its reassuring, like not all hope is lost, you know?

[upabittoolate]

all hope is never lost. the thing is, this bullshit is winning. i was listening to a song the other day at thebar in which i work. a nelly song came on. it was one that used a particular lick. i wondered who the original artist was aloud. someone thoughtfully said 'PM DAWN?'. i didnt want to laugh at the cat because that would have been patronizing. it was actually spandau ballet...

[upabittoolate]

im telling that story to illustrate how very soon, a black medium will be kayefabed as having white origins a la jazz & rock n roll. why? because too many listeners are untrained & arent scholarly or even serious about what fine music is. and because the masses dont read or think, they react. sad state of affairs; or maybe im jaded at the ripe old age of 32.

[djkillahhhbee]

The Jewelz Dropping Erewhere...

Shabazzz The Truth..

[du0t0ne]

this wu brother is very smart and his lyrics are sooo sick...

one of my favourite

[smenkinsa]

thats the most powerfull lyricist that i ever heard ... may be not the most but is deep

[ATOM09]

How can this dumb ole physical acting nigga come on here talking about, "If you a spiritual brother." Thus and so. He himself don't even respect spiritual things, coming from that Clarence 13X crap.

[settnfires]

how can u dis a hiphop artist dats POSITIVE? ur prolly blak too. or maybe ur a prejudice white dude. who knows! if its "crap", why dont u hav ur own "ministry" or wateva dat isnt "crap"? dude does SHOWS AND SONGS 4 kids, in prisons, 4 charity, abt slavery, etc etc and here u r bein hateful and negative. u eva heard da saying "if u hav nuthn good to say, then keep it to urself"? u should try it.

[illiptical]

yo this shit is ill

im hearin dumb shit about "oh why he sound scientific"

[ReptilianzBlood]

real shit right here. Shabazz is the illest! Maccabeez is the most underated group. real talk

[tariqshabazz]

this was a good interview as he explains the content of his lyrics and philosophy. Too bad he didn't wasn't backed by a good record company--he was talented.
