Spray Paint & Ink Pens - Lupe Fiasco ft Mike Shinoda & Ghostface Killah

 

I like what this song is trying to tell...

Yeah, I got that on the Fort Minor mixtape; I really like Lupe's verse on it. It's so different to anything else you'll hear.

[Gantons Most Wanted]

Anyone here listen to AZ??? his new album was alright but it was nowhere near on the level that A.W.O.L. and The Format were on.

For me the best rappers in the world is Eazy E and Tupac. They are the godfathers of rap. I love all of their lyrics.

NEW YORK - Wayne “Frosty Freeze” Frost, a hip-hop pioneer whose acrobatic performance with the legendary Rock Steady Crew in the 1983 movie “Flashdance” helped set off a worldwide breakdancing craze, has died. He was 44.

 

Frost died Thursday at Mount Sinai Medical Center after a long illness, said Jorge “Fabel” Pabon, a senior vice president of the crew where Frost and other so-called b-boys (for beat or break boys) made their name performing complicated and daring dance routines.

 

“He was one of most charismatic b-boys that ever lived,” said Benson Lee, director of the new documentary film “Planet B-Boy.”

 

Breakdancing emerged from the Bronx and Harlem in the early 1970s, part of the hip-hop culture that also included graffiti, MCing or rapping, and disc jockeys scratching and mixing vinyl records on turntables.

 

During extended pauses, or breaks, in the music, b-boys would mimic James Brown’s showmanship and footwork and Bruce Lee’s martial arts, adding their own signature moves.

 

Frost was known for his energetic style, intricate choreography and fearless moves including back flips and head spins. One was even dubbed the “Suicide.”

 

Frost got his start in 1978 with the Bronx-based Rock City Crew. In 1981, he became part of the Rock Steady Crew, joining such acclaimed breakdancers as Ken Swift and Lil Crazy Legs.

 

Frost toured the world with the Rock Steady Crew and other hip-hop artists, including Fab 5 Freddy, Futura 2000 and Kool Lady Blue.

 

Frost’s appearance with Rock Steady Crew in “Flashdance” spread the breakdance phenomenon globally, said Joseph Schloss, a visiting scholar in the music department at New York University. “He was one of the first B-boys that most people ever saw,” Schloss said.

 

Graffiti artist and close friend Zulu King Slone, who knew Frost for 15 years, said he was “like a walking hip-hop culture encyclopedia.”

 

As a member of the Rock Steady Crew, Frost also appeared in several movies on hip-hop culture, including “Wild Style,” “Beat Street” and “Style Wars.” He also appeared on the cover of the Village Voice in 1981.

 

Funeral arrangements were incomplete.

 

I caught news of this last night, and to be honest, well, I'm f*cking speechless. Seriously, I can't even think of anything to write here. RIP, you'll be missed greatly.

Eric B. & Rakim

Follow The Leader

Paid In Full

 

Gang Starr

Hard To Earn

 

 

That's probably a good place to start and then in the future you can get more albums by them if you wish.

Carter 3 comin soon...

Waitin for it, won't be buying it though, just downloading it, I haven't bought a cd since I don't know when.

[niccOGan]

Carter 3 comin soon...

I hope it won't be a majority of synthesized stuff that stuffs annoying.

Well it got pushed back to June 10th now. Honestly Carter III won't live up to the hype because he's trying to include something for everyone meaning there's thing's that people with certain taste aren't going to like.

 

I personally don't like Lollipop but all the girls love it. Seriously, this one chick I know she usually listens to like rock and whatever and she LOVES lollipop.

 

I downloaded the Drought Is Over Part 5. Not that great. He got Jae Millz on there since he signed him to Young Money though.

 

I can't feel my face with Juelz is gonna be FIRE, Dedication 3 with DJ Drama is gonna be FIRE. Carter 3 I'm 50/50 on but like all my music it's gonna be downloaded.

 

Also I heard a rumor that lil wayne is gonna do an album with just synthesized voice called Love Muzik or something like that. An R&B CD...

Lollipop is trsah and I can't believe he made that sh*t. If this cd bombs I'm going back to Carter 1 and his mix tapes.

Lil' Wayne - I'm A Motherf*ckin Mennace

 

one of his better songs.

[Statutory Ray]

one of his better songs.

If it's one of his better songs I'm glad I've never taken the opportunity to explore his entire collection.

 

There's very little hip-hop nowadays that excites me, even underground stuff. A few years ago I was a sucker for all things hip-hop, but recently I've been more into metal/punk. Anybody have any recommendations on something relatively new, though stylistically oldschool. The rhymes don't necessarily have to be smart or well put together, but I can't stand the style of most crunk/hyphy/club stuff that I hear. The beats, simple and jazzy, little to no synthesizers or electronic bullsh*t, at least not to the point where it's the main part of the beat.

 

Lots of bass.

[TommyVercetti.]

I actually thought that song was trash. Try Drought 3 if you're on the fence about Wayne.

Drought 3 can kiss my ass

 

Only songs worth mentioning off that album is "The Sky Is The Limit" And "Live From the 504"

[TommyVercetti.]

[Vanillainy]

I heard this on Ghostface's The Big Doe Rehab the other day and it was stuck in my head for ages, I love his voice:

 

 

 

Papa Don.

[TommyVercetti.]

This album cover cracks me up

 

 

Imagine if you saw a baby like that?

Did you just quote a year old post from the first page by a now banned member?

 

 

Anybody know of any new albums or mix tapes that have been released lately and are worth getting? I haven't been following hip hop too much over the past month or two.
