View Full Version : Ladies and gentelmen, I think that I've just found the greatest rapper ever.
the traveler 08-25-2006, 04:04 PM So, I'm bored as hell last night and I go on soundclick's alternative hip hop charts. I come across someguys message board and I read a message on there that was posted by the same person that left a message on my message board. I click on his name, and I'm blown away. I can't believe my ears.
You know how mother****as say **** like, "this guy's better than Jordan" in mention to an unknown guy. Or they'll say that some of the best performers are people that not too many people have heard of. Well, this guy fits the bill. I'd say his style is a mix between RZA, Slug, and the type of **** that Einstein would say if he were a rapper. I'm feeling Genesis the most right now.

MetalVomit 08-25-2006, 04:30 PM This guy is nice.
the traveler 08-25-2006, 04:45 PM Hell yeah, he's nice. My dude is just listening to one of his songs right now.
Hitman18 08-25-2006, 11:18 PM He's average. Not that good though. He has a real good flow and beat (if its his) but his lyrics don't make that much sense. He's just rhyming a bunch of words together really fast.
"She's free and alone, Just like the ocean's flow, I want to tie her down everywhere she goes."
What the **** does that mean? It doesn't make sense.
mic573 08-25-2006, 11:50 PM Am I missing something?
I don't think he is all that great. His flow was kind of boring and he really didn't have anything that makes me say he's special.
RAESAAD 08-26-2006, 12:34 AM I like it.......I will have to listen to it more when I have some time.
the traveler 08-26-2006, 12:48 AM lol. Hitman, his **** makes sense you just have to have an intelligence and an imagination to understand what he's trying to say. To me, it's really poetic and I've never heard someone with the vocabulary, intelligence, and poetic skills as him tied in one. Seriously, the guy made a ****in song about the heart and how sound processes in your brain.. genius.
As far as that line goes, free and alone just like the ocean's flow-- that means that the ocean moves to it's own beat. It doesn't have anything to effect its flow.. just like the girl. He sees a girl that's moving to her own standards and he wants to tie her down everywhere that she goes. To tie her down would be to take away her freeness, which in this sense means to make her part of him as a couple. He wants to do this everywhere that she goes.. meaning that he wants them to be tied as one everywhere that she goes.
This **** is realyl deep to me. Like I said, I've never heard a rapper with as much poetic depth as this. The only person that I can say that comes close is Slug. His flow is dope to me. It's sort of like Rzas in that it's sounds like he's going off beat because he's going really fast, but when you think about it.. it's ill because it's a raw and original way to flow, and it's on beat when you listen closely. It's just like a "**** the normality" type ****.
I'm loving this.
Listen to conversation and tell me that you aren't blown away. I guess you have to have an original mind to really understand this.
Hitman18 08-26-2006, 03:18 AM That guy is good at everything except making sense. About the heart and how sound processes in your brain song, wow that would be incredibly easy to make. Study the subject, make it rhyme and there you go. And that long ass explanation to the line, still didn't make sense. If you took a girl's freedom away, you wouldn't necessarily be a couple. It just doesn't make sense. Almost everything he said were just smart words that rhymed. But whatever, you have your opinion and I have mine.
the traveler 08-26-2006, 03:41 AM I don't think you'd be too good at poetry. It's called implying. You don't have to explain everything word for word. He's implying that he wants to be with her that's why he wants to lock her down. But, yeah, I guess it doesn't make sense. And on the heart song it's not just that he copied a science book down.. he's relating the feeling of hearing music and how he feels that it makes you hype and inspired.
Hitman18 08-26-2006, 03:45 AM Sure, whatever.
Velour 08-26-2006, 03:49 AM i thought it was ok.
i dont think his flow touches kurupt's though :D
the traveler 08-27-2006, 01:43 AM Hittman, just because you don't understand something doesn't mean that it doesn't make sense. It may mean that you just have poor comprehension skills.
mic573 08-27-2006, 02:31 AM This guy has some good lyrics but his flow is just boring. There is alot of rappers who have nice lyrics but thier flow is boring and then they wonder why they aren't selling.
There is a difference between good lyrics and good music. There are alot of great lyricists who can't make great tracks. Canibus is an example of that.

Totally agree...when artists don't swtich up their flow it makes for extremely boring tracks/albums. Rip The Jacker is an example of that. That album is gay as **** and extremely boring.
the traveler 08-27-2006, 03:24 AM Yeah, it's all a personal opinion. I like that type of flow. Most people hate Rza's flow, but I love it. I'm a really indie guy that loves anything underground.. so I love this type of music or anything that challenges the conventional.
sisforshaq 08-27-2006, 03:25 AM Yeah, it's all a personal opinion. I like that type of flow. Most people hate Rza's flow, but I love it. I'm a really indie guy that loves anything underground.. so I love this type of music or anything that challenges the conventional.
RZA is my favorite Wu Tang member, I think hes a genius. Great producer and the most underrated in the group. His lyrical content alone is the best in the group IMO.
the traveler 08-27-2006, 03:37 AM I agree. Rza is one sharp motha****a. Y'all know that he not only produced Liquid Swordz and Only build 4 Cuban Links but he also engineered both of them? I've been studying accoustics lately, and that's a really impressive thing to do. You need a good deal of knowledge in physics to know how to engineer well.

Just more reasons to add to the Genius status.

I like Rza but this guy is nothing like Rza.
Smokin' 08-27-2006, 03:42 AM what you mean engineered?
the traveler 08-27-2006, 03:57 AM An engineer is the guy that mixes the songs down (equalizes tracks based on the frequency response or what would add a certain tone to a voice.. etc.. **** like that) and sometimes does the mastering of the songs as well. They also sets up the recording area, making decisions on where to add abrobant and diffusive materials based on the rooms dimensions.
They're the guys that the producers and musicians go to to tell them how they'd like a song to sound. They're considered the most important person in the audio food chain besides the musician.
