    J Zone

    I was in my local dope record store the other day (Reveal records) and saw it and bought it...I took Sick of being rich to the counter and the guy at the register even congratulated me on buying such an awesome album. Listened to it on my CD player on the way home and felt it....J-Zone is dope...

    Ne 1 lIsten 2 Canadian Hip Hop

    Yeah Canada got some nice peeps...it sounds a bit like the UK scene. We got similar folks down here bringing political, witty, Jamacian, etc flavour...I think to be honest....in most cases (and no offense to ya'll) but the Americans will sleep on anything not coming out of the States. I'ma...

    BATTLES vs POETRY

    I was only refering to freestyle being dead in the battle scene. My bad that I didn't clarify that...truth is, freestyles aren't likely to cut it anymore in a competitive battle...you need strong pre-written stuff cause if you don't have it...chances are the other dude will and he's gonna win...

    Why do people hate Eminem?

    If I was gonna really compare Eminems style to anyone I'd compare him to Masta Ace. The way Eminem pronounces words, his steez, his attitude, his use of punchlines, etc...he's basically a modern day Masta Ace, which is good for me cause I'm a big fan of Masta Ace. Besides, at the end of the...

    What does 'battle' mean?

    Hmmm...well I am a battle emcee so I'll try and describe 'battle' the best I can. The beat has a lot of criteria which was covered by Duece, however...thats not always neccesarily the structure of the beat and in a majority of clubs where people will battle, it'll just be commerical beats...

    BATTLES vs POETRY

    lol @ Truth Told...yup...sadly the art of freestyle is dead. Although, a lot of the material I come with is from freestyle. But you have to have pre-written punches in your head incase they kill it and you need to take it up another level.

    Why do people hate Eminem?

    Just to set the record straight...Eminems first album was the Infinity album followed by the Slim Shady. By far his best offerings...all his shit from back then was dope. Especially his radio freestyles. So technically his 2nd album (slim shady LP) was also dope...hehehe..sorry Mr.Black...just...

    BATTLES vs POETRY

    Battle rap in a heart beat...being a battle rapper makes this choice susceptable to bias. But I can't resist the allure of battle rappers that can spit witty shit and still spit a dope ass topical. Personally, I'm not a fan of Sage Francis, Eyedea and some of the 'nerd' rappers dispite how big...

    london uk producers

    I'm from Derby, but I'm at university as off next month down in London. I mainly rap and I've been putting my hand into learning this production thing now for a couple of months...so if you're ever looking for someone to spit 16 bars...

    Why do people hate Eminem?

    Yup...just to add to that. 8 Mile was strictly a film about battle rap, it wasn't a hiphop film, adding DJing, breakin' and graff into it would prolly have just complicated things. 8 Mile has actually done some good as well for the underground/battle scene because its exposed it to a wider...

    Why do people hate Eminem?

    To be honest, skin colour shouldn't have much to do with it. Like Mr.Messenger said, most white emcees are dope. There are others he missed off his list like Kno, Apathy, Cage, Copywrite, Esoteric, Scorzayzee, Jehst, Taskforce and J-Zone. The list goes on and I think what takes white emcees...

    Why do people hate Eminem?

    I think its because he's making all the money and its a jealousy thing. Whenever anyone makes a lil bit of money hate tends to appear. But yeah, the white thing does seem to also be a reason. But, why dont other rappers become better rather than hate? :: cough cough :: Benzino :: cough cough ::

    Most Underrated Rapper of alltime?

    Canibus is pretty underated for his level of talent and I agree that AZ is pretty underated. But there are 100's on the underground. But I'm not gonna really go into all of that (eg. Apathy, Cunninlynguists, etc). However, anyone outside of the USA is underated...

    Best lyricist of all time??

    Hell nah...just cause I'm from the UK don't mean I know less than you. Shit, talk about some proper fucking discrimination. Clearly if I'm from a different country my opinion has no baring...well unless you invented hiphop or rap....don't act like my opinion means nothing. I made a statement...

    Best lyricist of all time??

    Hmmmm...well, I'm gonna offend alot of people here with this but...Pac sucked. He never really said anything new to what NWA, KRS One or Rakim (and a list of 1000 others before him) were saying back in the early 90's...he just said it in a more poetic manner. 2Pac is prolly one of the most...

    ...and the award goes to....

    1. If you get the opportunity to really start your professional career making beats for people like Dre and Timbo, clearly you got the skills to become pretty big in the industry. So, you accept what comes with it and do it to evolve as a producer. Then you can quit when you feel you need to go...

    Atmosphere

    Yeah, I heard of Atmosphere from when they signed to Epitaph, which is a punk rock label, dispite signing Sage Francis too. Which I suppose is pretty good for the underground cause it'll hopefully bring in a different angle to look at hiphop from (especially from a marketing standpoint). I've...
