NWA were not great in any way apart from saying fuck the police; a statement i agree with 100%. The second album is disgraceful. Cube obviously had a great deal of sucess after NWA but even he is vastly overrated imo. Songs like cave bitch make me sick. That is indeed ignorance. I am at the stage where i am not feling fake gangsters portraying themselves as tough guys. It's pathetic. Ice t on the other hand was a real gangster; not that it makes him a great rapper. The point is NWA were not all that great imo. Gangster rap was NOT a good thing and they made it popular which meant after that everyone had to be the tough guy.  That part in bold PROVES you don't know Hip Hop. At. All. Do your homework on Ice T and you'll find th error in that statement.The statemnet is absolutely true. Ice was a crip who used to rob banks, drug dealers, shops etc. He was later a pimp for 3 years. I know all about his life story. NOBODY can question his credibility. | |

You missed the whole point of NWA, it wasn't about them being tough guys/ gangsters etc..... They talked about a culture that existed, and still exist in most hoods BTW, they picked up where Ice-T started. BTW Easy was a real gangsta too yes eazy was crip affiliated and started ruthless with drug money. The rest were fake. Cube was in high school with a jerry curl and dre was dressing up, wearing lip stick. I didn;t miss the point. I just think they weren;t all that. Rap went from the message to songs about preachers daughters swallowing cum. | |

As the door close, the cold wind blows
Down America like the Wall of Jericho Some will walk the sheet close Many are called but few are chose Who knows until the day they be exposed UFO's surround the globe The world is prepared to explode So I grab hold of the North Pole Not tryin to meet the lost soul, at the crossroad We're bein sucked up into the black hole Young becomes old, mighty clouds roll Unfold the scrolls that were foretold by the forefathers, the end of the world saga Streets flooded with lava, mommas and pappas Toddlers, hip-hoppers, and rastas Rock stars and mobsters, above streets in helicopter Filled with doctors, readin the death roster Guts spillin out like pasta Sky, misty, often tipsy, from off the whiskey The gypsy, told me, my chances, were risky Cops, pull up and frisk me but never could they get me, too shifty I will go, into my dungeon, and summon up the second comin People started runnin, Aliens with hair like rastafarians Captured, placed inside of aquariums, studied by scientists This is it, The Apocalypse I see the mother ship, above the cliff, over Egypt It made me sea sick I see the eclipse, and the abyss, the night shifts It's Repentance Day! Repent for your sins when the gates of Heaven open up and Hell's closin in! The archangel imprison my soul into a prism Usin cell division and molecular collision within me He listen and analyze the heartbeat and rhythms of children livin brutalized My ears became used to the vibes of ruined lives Sounds in the chamber I was hiden in was so spine-tinglin I was tremblin Envisionin the fear, here within a new Millenium Where rain became toxic, the air's stale and noxious Comets hit co-ops with force that made blocks split Flocks tried to escape a fate that made even hardrocks slide as nuclear dropped out of the sky, causin burns too severe, for hydroperoxide and sodium oxide Deep down outta basements Fish turned lopside and upside down from atomic facelifts Through the blackness I saw John the Baptist, on the atlas Holdin the masters to my Psalm under his arm But long before I even wrote 'em 23 elders each wrote me a Psalm and placed them within my motor neurons It contained the aproximate date of The Apocalypse Deposited in scripts of the 20th century prophets The clock ticks, tick, tick, tick upon the land borders I count down the manslaughter Military camcorders under ocean waters Red October causin fish to grow arms, legs, tits, and double heads Mutating the eggs as the radiation spreads over the water beds I watch Mother Nature as she bled Grym, was placed in skin casing to begin lacing hyms through the basement Won't be no escapin from the South to the North Where you run ten paces and your face is fallin off! Raised in Hell, waitin for angels like Rafael Comin from space to trace, they race Thrown in jail cells I had a purpose since the sperm cell to bail out and get braille For the blinded children in Israel Kids kill forget the bill for, dollar bills and drug deals by the mayor Controls the people livin legal Sit back and chill, until time will reveal Two thousand and one holy men with force fields Levitatin space ships, earthquake hits, United States splits Projects turn to snake pits Secrets of the Masons came to Revelations Babylon destroyed by the nations aggravations Riots in the train stations, criminals grabbin cops Snakes rattlin, angels draggin Seven head dragons out the Roman empire, surrounded with fire Liars in the Pentagon drop their nuclear bombs, ran, panic But still, was trapped on the planet Died before the mothership landed Only the chosen ones understand it Some can't cause of TV brain damage, no time to be romantic This day your independence and repentance, pentance, pentance Now I see the light, my whole life is moving in one direction. I see that now, there never has been any choice for me. Chorus and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

Started in 1984 at five listening to Run-DMC, Kurtis Blow, Dr. Jeckyl & Mr. Hyde, T-Larock etc..... shit you couldn't turn on a radio, walk down a block and not hear Hip Hop blasting through speakers.

Exactly, Ice T was the original gangsta, he was a pimp and a hustler and a gang banger in the early days, and his rhymes were raw. He only cleaned his act up later (About early 90s).
Songs, like Squeeze the Trigger, Colours, Power, Iceberg, High Roller, I'm Your pusher (Where they are peddling rap, and the guys buys everything but LL Cool J), are gangsta as. Some of his sex rap was funny Girls LGBNAF off Power 1988 " DJ Islam creates a picture, And girls, I'm a say Evil E is gonna getcha Get ya illing in a nude mode A triple x rated episode Hotel Rooms will explode When my posse unload Sex in Effect when we on the road (Push it) Put your hands up in the air If you love sex, I know youre out there Say sex that is U got to be careful with this 88 sex biz But thats another song (Shake) It will come along Homeboys move in on that butt and say GIRLS, LETS GET BUTT NAKED AND FUCK!!" [Edited 4/18/09 18:01pm] So what are u going 2 do? R u just gonna sit there and watch? I'm not gonna stop until the war is over. Its gonna take a long time | |

Giovanni777 said: RAKIM.
Microphone Fiend (1st verse): I was a fiend before I became a teen I melted microphone instead of cones of ice cream Music orientated so when hip-hop was originated Fitted like pieces of puzzles, complicated ’cause I grabbed the mic and try to say, " yes y’all!" They tried to take it, and say that I’m too small Cool, ’cause I don’t get upset I kick a hole in the speaker, pull the plug, then I jet Back to the lab ...without a mic to grab So then I add all the rhymes I had One after the other one, then I make another one To dis the opposite then ask if the brother’s done I get a craving like I fiend for nicotine But I don’t need a cigarette, know what I mean? I’m raging, ripping up the stage and Don’t it sound amazing ’cause every rhyme is made and Thought of, cuz it’s sort of...an addiction, Magnatized by the mixing Vocals, vocabulary, your verses, you’re stuck in The mic is a drano, volcanoes erupting, Rhymes overflowing, gradually growing Everything is written in the cold, so it can coin- Cide, my thoughts to guide, 48 tracks to slide The invincible, microphone fiend rakim Spread the word, ’cause I’m in E-f-f-e-c-t A smooth operator operating correctly, But back to the problem, I gotta habit, You can’t solve it, silly rabbit The prescription is a hypertone that’s thorough when I fiend for a microphone like herion Soon as the bass kicks, I need a fix Gimme a stage and a mic and a mix And I’ll put you in a mood or is it a state of Unawareness? beware, it’s the reanamator! A menace to a microphone, a lethal weapon An assasinator, if the people ain’t stepping You see a part of me that you never seen When I’m fiending for a microphone, I’m the microphone fiend...  | |

Pacifics (New York is Red Hot) - Digable Planets
Butterfly. Searchin for a relax Pullin from the jazz stacks cause it's sunday. On the air is incense, sounds to the ceiling, Tried to get this feelin since monday. Lookin out the window Watchin all the people go Buggin off a funny vibe Cause now it seems they're equal Wonder what would trane say? Wonder what my pop say? Buggin off the calmness in the Apple. Who me? I'm coolin in New York, Chillin in New York. The hoods is on my block and the brothers at the court. The baseball hats is on And the projects is calm. Dreamtime's extended - and highly recommended! But early birds like me's up checkin out the scene The early worms jog, forget about your job, Just come dig the essence while the decadence is hidden When people act like people The theory ?? If you know the norm, It's like Hades transformed. On Sunday's early hours The city sprouts its flowers. So get with the rhythms while you gettin with the planets Vibe off the jams but don't take them for granted. Just Chill... We venture through the streets in search of funky beats Extensive is the travels and it's heavy on the sneaks. ya, it's kickin out the speakers of the sunday morning jeepers My man, do planets do it lovely? Am I my brother's keeper? We foot it to the park Where the swoon units walk and sit with the Phoenicians Diggin on musicians. Hangin with the rebels Sippin on a snapple Buggin with my crew Just trippin in the Apple. You be thinkin peace When you're vibin with your flock But you be thinkin damn, 'everybody's got a glock'. If you got some beef Please express that in silence. Or else violence. But right here is the life It's the children of the concrete Livin off the fruits and the functions of the fat beats. Hiphop's all around The members is growin Please dig on the sounds cause the good vibes they snowin'. Chill Wake up Prayin that the game's on Maybe it's the Runnin Rebs Maybe it's the Knicks. Maybe it's a rerun of an old tv show like hawaii 5-0 or karate flicks. Maybe if the phone rings Butterfly will take wings Speakin on some cool things Frontin like i cope. Born under flat ground Now i'm chillin shaky ground Reachin for Pacific Heights Sunday is my rope. dig it Sunday's to relax - Sunday's to relax Some sunday morning drama Is callin up my mama The hot line is in I guess the Sylvers knew the deal Vibin off the jams of the crews on Sugar Hill Lay around and think Ain't nothin to do Checkin out some ???, some ???, ??? Minguses are hummed, Damn! Roach can drum! The dp's are life There they go Here they come It's time to grab some loot Put on the timber boots Checkin out some dollies Like Tasha and Kamali New York is a museum with its posters and graffiti if you're in the city on sunday come check me get with me. | |
