I personally think eyedea is the greatest story telling rapper ever. the way he just flows while telling a story is quite impressive
and his freestyles arent to shabby either
 
this is some real real early MF Doom shit, back when MC Serch was cool I guess



I will fuck with Prince Paul as the producer though

King of the Dot chain holder Dizaster defended the title against former champion Arcane at Blackout 3, co-hosted by Drake. Arcane won the 2012 KOTD grand prix, earning him $5000 and a title shot against Dizaster. This battle was Arcane's second shot at the title after winning the chain against TheSaurus and later losing it to Bender.

The battle proved to be one of the most controversial battles in King of the Dot history in more than one way, with Arcane releasing the following statement after it's release:

Wuddup y'all, hope you enjoy the battle. i feel like this shit is entertaining on so many levels lol. And, even though i know this wasn't my best performance, i am proud that i was able to hold everything together and deliver my material under the circumstances. Bottom line it was the most fucked up environment I’ve had to face in my entire battle career, but I know Organik and staff did ever...ything they could to control the chaos and the video quality and editing looks amazing.

As for the manufactured scandal with Caustic, shit was mad overblown and taken way out of context. People need to recognize there's a big difference between "buying bars" and breaking off a homie who got screwed out of a tournament finals appearance by border patrol. Me and Caustic used to be friends and we shared a FEW ideas for ONE battle. This happens all the time. I'm not gonna start airing out names, but most of these emcees don't battle for money so none is ever exchanged. Since dude got stopped at the border, I did what i thought was the right thing at the time and broke off the homie

Ultimately did i need help against Chedda? No. Did i need help against Dizaster? No. Did i ask Caustic for his help? No. Did Caustic ask for any money? No. Is there anything on that paypal statement that says "$$ for bars"? No. it actually says "Merry xmas homie". And i defy anybody to provide any evidence that would prove otherwise. Plus, If anyone conspired with Caustic for this Title match, it was clearly Dizaster, not me,.. so to go on for three rounds about it was just redundant IMO.

The way this shit has been twisted is ridiculous really. I’ve helped countless emcees over the years, free of charge, and never breathed a word to gain any praise. My biggest mistake was hooking someone up I considered a friend. The sad fact of this battle game is that there’s very little room for true friendships. Shit is mad grimy out here. So the doors to the factory are now locked. Lesson learned. I will never put myself in that position again.

All in all, the battle def didn't go as smooth as it could have, but to all the fans, battle emcees, and KOTD staff who have reached out to offer their respect, recognition and support, I'm honored. Real recognize real. To all my haters, doubters and detractors, i will def be back to defend my title and the 2nd reign of Cane will be brutal for y'all. Heads are gonna roll..

~Peace

I cry for Hip Hop these days i really do .

IMO we have had the Golden era's of the 80's, 90's & nothing will surpass that . Of course their will be some good stuff out their but it's just not exciting like it was .

Like when you were taping MIx shows of the radio n waiting for the next hot 45 to drop .
 
my top ten:

MF DOOM
Dre
Eazy E
kweli
immortal technique
m.e.t.h.o.d. man
Andre nickatina
Ghostface
mos def
mad child

(really though, my top 5 is honestly DOOM, viktor vaughn, zev love x, king geedorah, aka daniel dumile). the rest is just secondary

if I had to pick my ten favorite producers itd be something like this

Premo
Pete Rock
RZA
Buckwild
Joe Mansfield
Subroc
Kanye
Alchemist
Da Beatminerz
Just Blaze

honorable mention to Sam Sneed but anything Dr. Dre related starts getting into conflicting stories so who really knows how much Dre did and how much he used guys like Sam Sneed and Scott Storch to his advantage
 
Any 'top producers' list that doesn't include Madlib or J Dilla is bunk.

Jaylib - The Red

you know Max I used to get annoyed when you came at me about rap music

now I just dont give a fuck. You just dont want to admit to yourself that we really dont listen to much different shit, but it's w/e man keep up the antagonism
 
I don't listen to Drake, Lil Wayne, etc so yeah, our tastes are different. Not that it's a bad thing.

pretty sure ive never heard shimazu mention anything about lil whine. it seems like youre just using that to intentionally discredit his taste in music.

Nobody has mentioned the movie that sums up the sweetness of the Time: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL093F7F11107C7245
That movie is 'The Wackness' and came out in 2008, and is fairly incredible, with an amazing soundtrack.

I would like to add Talib Kweli and Mos Def to the list tho they were LATE 90s... Man I miss that stuff.

Future Thread I might create: 'If You Loved 90s Hip Hop - What You Should Check Out Now'
IE Grieves, Zion I, Common Market, Sage Francis, Blue Scholars, Eyeada and Abilities, Murs, and that whole line of 'conscious hip hop' i think they call it.

Oh Bro I have had a "The Wackness" thread over in the movie sections for most several years.. I love that fucking movie bro.. it went by under the radar that is for sure because I discovered it by total chance. And I love it, its easily one of my favorite "coming of age/that 90's urban vide" movie of all time. Summer of 1994 in NYC.. ha great setting
 
I used to listen to Lil Wayne a lot back in high school and still do every now and then. I don't give a fuck dude im not embarrassed
