theirs wisdom in those words. [youtube]oz3KLKorsnE[/youtube]

I actually wanted to post that! I thought it wasn't on topic though, but shit lets make this an Asher thread!



I love the lines it that song, it pretty much sums up whats wrong with the 'new' hip hop industry.

"My advance lasts me about a week, after taxes, my bills, and a big stack of weed"
"when i get that check imma take it to the medics, 'cause these sick kids need it more than I need a necklace"


Love those lines!

Ash is a hugee pot head if you didn't know.

fucking blowing your mind

[Talib Kweli]
Breathin in deep city breaths, sittin on shitty steps
we stoop to new lows, hell froze the night the city slept
The beast crept through concrete jungles
communicatin with one another
And ghetto birds where waters fall
from the hydrants to the gutters

Yeah to be honest I don't really dig when rappers keep doing comparisons saying, 'i'm like' a lot.. I dig the metaphors and some rappers come up with some amazing shit

Like technique on that was some ill shit, but I didn't like the other dude.... 'blacker than the children of jefferson' LOL hell yeah.



I tried finding this song called, 'seriously' by Cormega ft. Cannibus, but Its so underground it's not on the internet :lol:

anyway, cannibus (play on cannabis ;) ) comes in saying this,

"yo -

The secret of the ages - I illuminate with logic, when I speak it's more than just deep it's bottomless, with common sense - I'm organized like crime in mafias, plus the way I rhyme is prime like optimus... a rap-ologist you can sit and do the knowledge with ...with GED's and different degrees from ivy league colleges..."

then it pops into the next dude

helllla sick on the underlined part

Metaphors are EVERYTHING in rap to me. Like, todays shit...doesnt do it for me because of the lack there of.

I've only recently heard of cannibus, cant find too much on him. You should post one of your favs of him that you can find.

This ones got a good rhythm. My favorite part is at the end, "ay yo 9 out of 10 of the rap artists are garbage" LOL!

Diabolic, he's a tough one for me. I dont really like his part in that song, but this one he really makes up for it:

[video=youtube;_38qINBxq6M]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_38qINBxq6M[/video]

"Can't freestyle, you're screwed off the top like bottle caps
Beneath the surface, I'm over heating your receiver circuits
By unleashing deeper verses than priests speak in churches
but your preach is worthless
Your worship defeats the purpose
Like President Bush taking bullets for the Secret Service"

^Thats some good shit right there by Diabolic.

Immortal isn't as good in this one but heres my fav part. "I'm like time itself, I'm gonna kill you inevitably"
