Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

      I have been reading a lot of your posts since I am a student at UCLA as well and you do not know your "rap" as well as many other things, it is all just a little too one-sided. I read your thread on abortion and etc, sweeheart give it a rest.
      When the World Wide Web was born, things were quite simple. The internet supported just one device (the PC) and the browsers available were too primitive for me.

          Are you talking on the commercial appeal level, mixtape/underground/street level, or now but in general?

          If you're talking about right now but in general....

          Here's my top 5:

          1) Nas
          2) Crooked I
          3) Rass Kass
          4) Eastwood
          5) Sly Boogie

            Right now overall.

            1) Ice Cube
            2) Kurrupt
            3) Sly Boogie
            4) Nas

            Can't really think of a fifth even though Canibus would be up there as well.

            Overall top 5 ever. I think only Cube would crack the top 10.

              Depends what people are into. I see you got the same taste, semi-underground hiphop.

              I agree with Nas too, from illmatic to god's son...he kept it cosistent with every album, as far as lyrics go.

              I agree with the rest of your picks, but don't sleep on Canibus though, his lyrical concept is real complex. Guy is underrated. And who the hell is Crooked I? Is he worth listning to?


              Well right now I'm feelin' the new track from The Roots called Don't Say Nothin'

              Other then that, commercial rap today is pretty much dry.

                I agree with you 100% that commercial rap is dry. That's why I've gone the semi-underground route. There's far better talent there.

                Who the hell is Crooked I ?!

                He's the best the westcoast has to offer now.

                If you want to get an idea of how he raps check this video out:

                Crooked I - On the Power 106 Wake Up Show

                Right click and select save target as and save it to your desktop or something.

                Pay special attention to his lyrics. He's a genius when it comes to forming lyrics. He takes freestyling and Hip Hop to a WHOLE OTHER level. That's why Suge Knight said that he's the best the westcoast has to offer when he was in Deathrow.

                  No doubt...guy got skills and on top of that has some crazy freestyles. I don't know why I never heard of him before...

                  I still think Mad Skillz has the best freestyles though...

                  and if you've never heard of Canibus...then you better get a couple of tracks from him right now...if you want lyrics then thats your guy.
