I'm starting a rap thread

[GonzoStyle]

Eric B & Rakim old school hip hop to the fullest.

Don't forget KRS

[Kid Afrika]

try to remember krs... would be a more accurate statement. his skills are revered, but he's never sold all that much... why?

is it because he's not "commercially viable"?

Look at Scarface.

Scarface has been doin it for almost 15 years now with little or no recognition from the mainstream public, yet the man is an icon and one of the top 5 of all time. Plus the only man 2pac trully ever respected.

Picture a perfect picture, picture me in the paper
Picture me starting shit, picture me busting my gat,
picture police man Dan gotta picture of that,
picture me being broke, picture me smokin a sack,
picture me comin up, picture me rich from rap,
picture me blowin up, now picture me going back,
to my momma basement to live, shit, picture that

Big L has to be one of the greatest rappers to have ever lived.. But he done got a cap busted in his dome piece... He was from harlem.. Check out his freestyles.. Theres one floating around with Him, Tupac, and Biggie.. its called "Deadly Combination".. Its funny.. because they are all dead.
