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.

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...Last edited by winoman; 11-19-2005, 08:02 AM.

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 ...Last edited by Lamb Boy; 11-20-2005, 07:51 PM.

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."
