ragnarok - n. the destruction of the gods and of all things in a final battle with the evil powers


I'm thinkin of this for my MC name. I need a second opinion.


Week 9 of the punchline league and I'm against a scrub. My punch was constructed in less than a couple of hours and I doubt theres some rappers nowadays who could come up with this shit in a lifetime. The dudes name is "Dubb Cee".


i'll shake this brothers raps and break his mothers back, you shouldnt 'cee' walk on the cement


i'll dust dub: his lifes a wrap, the only way his lines are crack is the powder implement


Lines of coke. Get it? I didnt put much effort seeing that the guy I'm against is not so good. Knowing my luck he'll probably pull out some other world shit. lmao naaahh.


School is almost out. And YESSSSS. I gotta take competency exams because I missed so many days last semester, you know being locked up and on the run and all, but it aint shit. Im gettin my diploma and moving on.


Life's a bitch and she hasnt even had her first period yet. Yikes!!


Every MC has their "married to the game" anthem. This is mine.

just give me the mic and i rock like a fuckin fossil!

defined

hardcore - unswervingly committed; uncompromising; dedicated



My mom pointed out that I bring around alot of Colombian girls. So I guess I have a thing for Colombian girls. Some of the few meaningful relationships I had were with Colombian girls. Brigette sortah, and of course Naah. Naah was an example of how I had something good and didnt appreciate it and let it go. We still friends and we still cool but I kinda regret letting her go sometimes. But I dont like regretting. Anywayz. Of course theres Ms. Unrequited. Oh well.



Im feeling super lyrical like Big Pun.



I'm grippin an ax, mc's get split in half

I dont listen to that, why put that shit in tracks?

Everything you've written's wack

Your whole album should be hidden tracks

You know what? I started typin this but I lost the fuckin paper and I dont remember what I had. But that hidden tracks shit was pretty lethal. So was the rest. But I started this entire blog and had to stop and never got finished. But the fan(s) wanted some more and you gotta give the fans what they want.

Well I've really gotten into that league I was talkin about. It's called Lyric Kings. Look at that initialized: LK. Whoa. lol. Well Ive entered the punchline league in round 7 out of 20. In round 7 I lost but I came back with my first horrorcore win in the league in round 8. Horrorcore is when your verse is gorey and bloody and all that. This was my verse.

straight cuts leave torsos red, wake up to horses heads, he just a 'don vito' wit blood blotched in the sheets
get circumsized with a pocket knife, then jerk them eyez out ure sockets rite? put pupils in ure diet so you can watch what you eat


Pretty gorey right? I won so whatever. Well I go into round 9 and it looks like they started putting me against some wack ass niggaz. In my vic, the votes was 6-1. The most votes you can get is 5. Come on now. And the only reason he got a vote was because someone voted a tie, which counts as a vote for each of us. WTF?? lol


Im fuckin up but enjoyin myself while doin so. But inside I need a change and it feels like I'm missin out on somethin. STILL have that empty feeling. Maybe 'unrequited' is bothering more than I thought. I dunno. I gotta do some soul searching or somethin. Some time to just get away and think shit over. Maybe another fishing trip? I dont even know why I feel like this, but I suppose I need to find out.


I just found out that my suspension for my liscence hasnt been on file so I still gotta wait 6 months after I reapply for it or some shit like that. >=O


I finish school Tuesday. Not graduate. School. =/

Ive been lacking in night school attendance and have become the biggest movie goer lately. Ive missed 5 straight night schools but I saw Iron Man, Speed Racer, What Happens In Vegas, Harold and Kumar dos(30 minutes into the movie), and Red Belt. All in the last two weeks. I dont wanna eat popcorn for another month. xp


I STRONGLY reccomend Speed Racer over Iron Man. People might not understand it, but its probably because they didnt watch the show as a kid. It has more action, better storyline, and is a classic-er than Iron Man.





This shit is my life. Literally. If you asked me what my love life looks like, I would reply with something along the lines of this. Watch it and you will see what I mean. Even the paart where they are upside down and the girls are passing by and feeling their heads as they go. It just explains how my life is upside down while the girl who is on the green side of the grass passes me by without me being able to do anythin. Let me rephrase that. Without me taking action. It's The Pharcyde and its called Passing Me By. One of their better known songs from Bizzare Ride II The Pharcyde. One of my top five favorite songs. Bonita Applebum by A Tribe Called Quest and Take It In Blood by Nas are the only songs I enjoy more than this one.

i seen better punchlines at the prom waitin for drinks

A good number of my blog titles have been lines from songs. Just thought I'd share which songs they are from. The one in my title is from a freestyle Jin did with Cassidy.

"Lyrics are liquor for the fallen soldier"
Common, The People from Finding Forever (2007)

Money Over Bullshit: Nas actually made a song called Money Over Bullshit (2006). I came up with the concept before I was aware of this. Its on his Hip Hop Is Dead album, so of course I'm not too fond of his latter music.

i cant live without my ipod=I Can't Live Without My Radio by LL Cool J from Radio (1985): Basically noone uses radios anymore. I sure wish they would cause technology is going to get people too comfortable with it to the point that they wont be able to survive without it. Plus I would love it if we could take it back to the old school style. Its much more my "e-steelo". lol

"Starvin like Marvin for a Cool J song"
LL Cool J, Rock The Bells from Radio (1985)

"Can I live till my last day"
Biggie Smalls Ft. The L.O.X., Last Day from Life After Death (1997)
(It was actually Jadakiss on that hook)

"Your arm's too short to box with God"
Nas, You're The Man from Stillmatic (2001)

"Bond is my life, so I live by my word"
Nas, Suspect from It Was Written (1996)

"In 9th grade, I aint go to high school, I went to school high"
L.O.X., Recognize from We Are The Streets (2000)

"It's like I'm in a race against time"
Joell Ortiz Ft. Jadakiss and Saigon, Hip Hop (Remix) from The Brick: Bodega Chronicles (2007)
(That was from Saigon's verse)

"I've got sunshine in a bag"
Gorillaz, Clint Eastwood from Gorillaz (2005)

"The pimp in me may have to die with you"
Common, Come Close To Me from Electric Circus (2002)

"Rich man, poor man, read the headlines"
Ghostface Killah, Motherless Child from Ironman (1996)

rich man, poor man, read the headlines

defined



dictionary - n. a book containing a selection of the words of a language, usually arranged alphabetically, giving information about their meanings, pronunciations, etymologies, inflected forms, etc., expressed in either the same or another language




I wondered was there anyone dickheaded to grab a dictionary and look up "dictionary". Just something that crossed my mind.




I almost forgot about this blog yo. I've enjoyed saying "yo" after alot of my statements recently. Its also been enjoyed by other people. YO, YO, YO. So I've realized I'm not much of a phone person. And it was with the help of a number of chicks who are always like,"Why don't you call me?". I tell them I dont have a phone, but realistically I can use my mom's phone whenever I feel. I just don't like it. Mainly cuz I can't multi task while I'm on the phone. If I'm on the phone, that is ALL I can do.







I aint going to prom. I re-changed my mind. Fuck it. A bunch of people that I barely know celebrating shit I don care about. Plus my date couldnt go and I couldnt find a date worth paying 50 fuckin dollars for. lol




So I havent been focusing on school like I should. Its ok to lose slight focus at the end, but I let that slight focus drop to drastic measures. I missed three straight night schools and the last one I missed I went to the movies to see Iron Man. It was bleh. Iron Man was like Spider Man 3 but vice-versa, all the people of color thought it sucked and all the crackers thought it was good. Spider-Man was backwards to that though, cuz I thought it was good. I really wanna see Speed Racer yo. That was one of my favorite shows as a kid. I would go crazy to see a Speed Racer video.




I havent posted any verses or poetry because I am working on my visit to Fate's booth and I'm back on this site for MC's like I. It is "competitive" rap at its highest. I been signed up since last year but I had a hard time adjusting to its style. Not just any old MC could walk up in there and make a name, you gotta have complex lines and sick word play. Lil Wayne would look like a poodle against pitbulls in there. Right now I'm a baby red nose, but it isnt like it used to be. Ive honed my skills and made them more adaptable. Also Ive expanded my vocabulary and grasped the concept. My first battle back, I lost horribly, but I got much credit. I was going against a "vet" dique. He won but I still got credit for mines. Which is more than I could say for my former battles.




My highlight of the week: I had a blunt put right in my face, and I said noooo!!!











This shit reminds me of my brothers that are locked up. It's Nas as if he was writing to his boys in prison. I believe there is production by Q-Tip and I think it's him on the hook. Its classic Nas from Illmatic yo.



"You was my nigga when push came to shove."
Nas, One Love

Photobucket
Free Phaze, Hush, and Chino. I wonder whats gunna happen when you get out. Are you gunna be down with everything thats going on. I hope the best for you regardless. I would be going through that nightmare with you guys if I had went with yall. Yall in my prayers though, keep ya head up tho.....'like ya nose bleeding'.


AMOR to Hush, Phaze, and Chino

the "pimp" in me may have to die with you

defined
mc - master of ceremonies

Yeah, that's what they mean by mc. Betcha didn't know.

So I have decided to go to my prom, problem is I have until te 7th to buy the tickets and until the 10th to get a tux. I shoudl've planned better but I didn't think I was gunna go. I have a date, which is mainly the reason I'm going. I've always tried to get with this girl but she never even let me get close. Now though she starting to let up, so I'm seeing where this takes me. I kinda still have that thing for that other girl, but "unrequited", so yeah.


I'm gunna have a busy summer yo. Summer school, night school, AND online courses. AND work. Well at least I'm getting it over with, finnally.


A million and one things going through my mind. Alot of imbalances. It's all good though.


You ever come across a song in your ipod and your like,"I don't remember this being there.", but when you listen to it, its one of the best songs you ever heard? That is the story of this song. I remember hearing it before, but I didn't listen to it. There is a difference between hearing a song and listening to what they are saying. I also thought that maybe I didn't catch on to it cuz it was back in my "player" days and I didn't relate to it as well as I do know. Cuz for real, I wanna feel like this about a girl. You know, like a strong relationship without the immature cliches of my day and age, just someone who I can share a deep feeling with and it's because of their inner being rather than the extrinsic values. This song expresses a feeling so beautiful, I envy Common for it. lol I swear I listened to it all day at school.

THIS is what happened to hip hop...

in response to Maria's blog with the De La video that I enjoy oh so much. Well let me explain that. De La Soul created the D.A.I.S.Y. age. (Da Inner Sound Ya'll) But when hip-hop got a little hardcore style in it, they were ridiculed and mocked by others for their unique and original style. So trying to transform with hip hop, they came out with "De La Soul Is Dead" which is an appropriate title. It did produce some good jams like this one....







but after this, they couldn't quite return to the rythm of "3 Feet High and Rising", unfortunately for us.


Here is a neat little timeline of hip-hop.


Here are the caveman drawings of hip-hop.








along with one of the most infectious records ever made, which helped moved hip-hop out of the south Bronx and Harlem...








Following the release of "Planet Rock" was the slap bass groove and luxurious keyboards of...








and a song that was ahead of it's time, so to speak...








but simultaneously, this was going on...








which paved the way for hardcore rap. But this affect would come later. Well, after much b-boying and feuds with mtv to play some hip-hop, it actually started getting recognized with...








which broke alot of barriers and changed the style of hip-hop to the folded arms and the b-boy "attitude" that was marked with the shell toe Adidas with the fat laces or no laces at all. This group opened the door to a new generation of hip hop. With the help of this man of course...








This was from the movie "Crush Groove".Even though it was "Run's House", this duo sure jumped the fence and sprayed their music in their backyard...












But then came the rebelliousness of the group with the biggest impact on popular culture that hip hop have to offer...








and the hardcore "reality rap" and the sonic sound of Dre's drum beats...








..who greatly over shadowed










So then came the age that modernized hip-hop. Undoubtedly the most consistent rap group to bless the game with a over a decade of hits, this duo was a perfect example of the rapper's "creed": the skills...








and the group that redefined the art of crate diggin...








and monster jams like..








..I remember as a kid that everytime this song came on we would wave our hands back and forth and go "Hay, hoo, haa, hoo!!".


Then some of the better known mc's of today made their debut or blew up around 93...








...his debut single, he is truly hip hop's chosen one and was deservingly anointed Rakim's successor after dropping "Illmatic". Also, none other than the greatest martyr of rap...








who of course had the infamous beef with...






...who almost single handedly put NY back on the map in the beef between East Vs. West. Of course there was help from the Xiolin warriors who preached that "Cash Rules Everything Around Me" and brang da ruckus that had everyone protecting their necks. The classic from arguably the greatest rap group...








This is where hip hop started to go wrong...







which led to this...






The rest is history. So, that is what happened to hip hop. From here, Snoop, Mobb Deep, and Big L came about. Eventually, the thug "persona" has influenced the 50 Cents, Plies, and Lil Boosies of today. So, now since they aren't "artists" anymore, they come up with...




Hip hop is dead. Its just a bunch of dudes tryna make money by talkin bout shit they never did or stuff they dont have. Its a shame.
