In fact they were quite good posts - of material I am unfamiliar with - so nice there - and you Ratboy - well your post is just typical of the pimply face whiney no nothing little kid that you are - in fact political rap has existed since pretty much the beginning and has always been a significant presence in rap music - dps it

And if you would be so kind and show a little maturity to not interrupt adults when they are having a conversation - the old axiom children should be seen (in your case questionable) but not heard (you really make the case for this one) was once a mantra for a good reason - and you remind us of why that was so...

Hey woman.

Thanks Siam for posting some lyrics and links to the songs! Kid Frost is awesome what’s that song by his This is for the Raza (??) anyway that song has a really nice mellow beat.

Anon your view of how Hip Hop evolved (heh) is seriously negative and stereotypical for a descriptive starting point for Hip Hop. All in all it is definitely not in the manner you described. You only spotlight the negativity or turn something like battling and make it seem like it's a negative thing when in fact it really isn't. The literalness of the terminology escapes no one, so in a tongue in cheek manner ppl use hostile words and ideas projected to each other while keeping everything strictly mental. You of all ppl should understand this ...

Here is another song by Lyrics Born … if you can’t tell he’s one of my favorites. Actually this next song is by what most ppl would consider Latyrx as he rhymes with his old partner Lateef the Truth Speaker who together made up Latyrx. This song is called The Last Trumpet and it takes a look at where we are, what got us as a ppl to our present day state and in the last verse, NOT in the text lyrics following I’m sad to say, how we can mend some of the problems we’ve created for ourselves … This one kinda goes hand in hand w/Company Flow’s Patriotism imo

Artist: Lyrics Born f/ Lateef the Truthspeaker
Album: Later That Day...
Song: The Last Trumpet

Sample: lamentations, lamentations, lamentations worldwide

Watch out (repeated)

LB: In the beginning men and women had an obligation to their children
Lat: Then there was a real and true necessity and need for building
LB: There was still the discipline and will proliferate the lineage
Lat: Matters of the spirit, mind, and body taken serious
LB: But the way that we became what we became
Somebody please explain
Lat: Well we could tell you if you're curious
Those that reign got the masses in chains
And their minds enslaved (And Landmines and Slaves??)
Both: And that's the part that makes me furious

Watch out (repeated)

Both: Cos they're definitely aint no info readily avai'
Lable to the general elect people so let me know x2

Lat: It's easily this multimedia crews that feed you to the neediest
It's the greediest trying to cheat us out of our God given right
LB: To a quality education minimal opportunities available
Limited occupations we are not given a choice
Lat: Or given a voice within a political system pimped and gangsta'd out
Wherein the people are the victim sheep being lead about
LB: While the followers and the patrons of any faith outside the mainstream, are being raided, falsely painted as endangering the way things work
Lat: And the way things are remaing
LB: I can't believe that things aint worse
Lat: When all the wicked seeds we've sown have grown
LB: And poisoned all the Earth
Lat: It serves us right
LB: Can't really act surprised when the harvest has no worth
Lat: The curse that's lurking round the corner
Both: Is the product of our work

Watch out (repeated)

Right now
LB: The holy war's growing opposing forces polling of the origins of which have been historically been ignored
Right now
Lat: Our foreign policy is mallets of democracy, upholding an aristocracy of secret terrorist cells
Right now
LB: The global poverty that we accept so commonly, turns people into property one step away from hell
Right now
Lat: Healthcare battles bioengineering for the worldwide scare of the plague that we're fearing
Right now
LB: They got the right to put our lives under surveillance
Right now
Lat: They got the right to lock us up we don't obey them
Right now
LB: Modern education don't prepare the youth
Right now
Right now
Both: Do what you gotta do
Right now
LB: There's people shooting at people that's throwing stones
Right now
Lat: There's a movement of people across the globe
Right now
Both: Right now is where we're at when what goes around comes around time for action before the last trumpet sounds ...

MISSING FINAL VERSE

Thsi is actually the track that made me want to start this thread to begin with. I thinks it's pretty powerful, truthful, well designed in terms of meter and lyrical delivery. This is the stuff that I am like to all the critics of Hip Hop & Rap "It's not what you think it is!!" or "It can be things other than what you imagined!!" Be open minded ...

[winoman]

Hey woman.

I think it is quite telling that in you view calling someone a woman is the equivilant of having made a (smart a$$) derogatory comment about someone. (But I'll just take it as it should be - a compliment!) (hahahaha - Rat is so clever...he called me a woman...oooooh how could I possibly respond to such an insightful and devastating insult?) This speaks to your infantile level of thinking in the first place - your inability to really discuss/debate something with any sense or make any real points (perhaps Lew Rockwell has something appropriate you might cut and paste to make another [in your juvenile eyes] clever commentary to save you...) and it additionally shows how insecure you are and how you fear/loath the opposite sex...must be rough - I pity you really....dumb$hit...

speaking of GOSSIP!!

i am sure you all heard about "the game"



coming 2 glendale!!

[One-Way]

Yup. The Game decided to move into my city.

What's with everyone living here now?

And what's with everyone driving by his house, not leaving him alone? He recently cussed out my ex, haha. She drove by and he said, "Get the fuck out of here! What do you think this is? Disneyland!" I was like, "That's right. Leave him alone."
