pick your favorite rapper #23

[Philaflava]

from the list...

[T-Wrex]

T.Kal

[The Frankest]

TOUGH!!

Slick Rick, slightly over Cormega, Method Man and Prodigy.

[mud]

damn..can't choose between prodigy,meth and masta killa...

[Combo7]

I'm glad this said "favorite rapper" rather than "best rapper." That would have been a bitch.

I voted for Killa, slightly over Cormega.

[agent b]

Big Daddy Kane

[Kid B]

Pos

[an-also]

COR MEGA RAW FOEVER!!

[Sankofa]

Finesse was a lock until I saw Kane's name.

[Philaflava]

i picked bdk as well. this thread will seperate the older posters for sure.

i can't imagine those picking guys like masta killa or mega were listening to hip-hop IN 1988.

and this ain't a diss, its just the reality of things.

finesse. kane or sick rick i went with the lord

[ackbar]

i know everyone here seemed to love no said date...but i can't accept that people like masta killa this much. BY FAR the worst rapper in the group...almost everyone of his wu-tang appearances is terrible.

sole has more rhymes than MK...he has a monotonous flow...and raps about the stupidest shit in the world.

This is not a eighty-five affair, made clear
when the Gods get on to perform storms blew up
Wu's up, causin the crowd to self-destruct
Killer bees are stingin somethin while I reveal
Science, that's heavily guarded by the culprit
Bombin your barracks, with aerodynamic
swordplay, poison darts by the doorway
Minds that's laced with explosive doses
Damagin lyrical launcher
Lunge at the youthful offender then injure
any contender, testin the murderous Master
could lead to disaster, dynamite thoughts
explode through your barrier, rips the retina
Who can withstand the astonishing punishing
Stings to the sternum, shocked in the hip-hop livestock
Seekin for a serum, to cure em

The track renders helpless and suffers from multiple stab wounds
and leaks sounds that's heard
ninety-three million miles away from came one
to represent the Nation, this is a gathering
of the masses that come to pay respects to the Wu-Tang Clan
As we engage in battle, the crowd now screams in rage
The high chief Jamel-I-Reef take the stage
Light is provided through sparks of energy
from the mind that travels in rhyme form
Givin sight to the blind
The dumb are mostly intrigued by the drum
Death only one can save self from
This relentless attack of the track spares none

:so?:

[Raphael De La Ghetto]

For me it was between Slick Rick and prodigy. I went with Prodigy though.
Both of those guys are up there with my favourite rappers of all time.

[Rey Slo]

Conflicted between Mega & a slick brother with a fade and a half-moon.


@ Phila for creating a poll, then chastising the voters.

[SoulClap]

Fav: Mega
Leave Fav: Method Man

@ Phila for creating a poll, then chastising the voters.

seriously tho.. what was the point of that post? i mean, i know it was probably great to hear it when it first came out, but some of us really didn't have the option, so should we be considered second class heads because of it? especially if we make the effort to educate ourselves?

i'm 19, so i guess by definition i'm a new jack, but it was between BDK, Pos and Grand Puba for me. All are amazing even to this day on the mic, and their older stuff is still fresh to death even if i didn't hear it in 88.

In the end I went with Pos.

[Stoned Starks]

and whats up with the Masta Killa hate? No Said Date was easily a top 5 album of 2004, and his first verse on the title track is still :shock:

[ackbar]

y'all guys are talkin loud but ain't really sayin nothing.

he doesn't rhyme. his flow is boring. his subject matter...

come to think of it, he almost fathered aesop rock's style.

[ackbar]

i never really listened to no said date...i'm talking about his career pre-solo album.

[Stoned Starks]

i never really listened to no said date...i'm talking about his career pre-solo album.

to tell you the truth, i sort of felt the same way about him before picking up the album. i'll yousendit.com if you want to give it a listen. it's pretty fucking good.

[Funk Docta Bombay]

He may not have as many ill albums, but as far as pure emceeing goes...

it's the Method Man, for short, Mr. Meth.

Masta Killa - No Said Date:

http://s25.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1WXS ... 9G8NUIMF0K

[Snuggles the DESTROYER]

The dumb are mostly intrigued by the drum

His flow can be monotone, but that one line is one of the truest ever spoken.

Personally I voted Pun, with Pos as a close second.

[unAuthorDeezy]

pos.... kane was close, but dela is my shit....

as for the whole masta killa thing... i mean no said date is illy... but what was he really bringin b4 that? he always sounded like gza with less flow... but no said date solidified him as an mc. but this is favorite not best... so cats got they own opinions

[Combo7]

Masta Killa was the shit even before No Said Date. That album just reinforced it and banged it over the heads of nonbelievers.

[Tony Tension]

The punisha gets my vote
