^thats a link to a song entitled - "John" on Below Zero's album - Beginning Of Forever.

Listen to it, it really comes out strong with dope emotion and a REAL story topical.


Is there any more rappers who do this kinda thing reguarly, cos this is the type of shit i'm into.... Is this 'Weak' rap, is this taking more into Poetry or whatever rather than what raps about?

Discuss..

*Ehhhhhhhh, not really feel'n this playa...

It sounds like a new age Bone thugz cd......shit is weak 4real, 1

no its not weak, neither is gangster, neither is self portrayel, neither is super intelligence confidential shit.

As a matter of truth, hip hop is a family of 5 elements, and rap in itself is split into so many forms. Gangster has the club feel to it, how can u flex a girl in a club whilst playing fucking jedi mind tricks - 'immaculate conception ' on? it wouldnt feel right. But if you had sum commercial shit on like - Joe Budden, u can get ya bitch :D. Logically, story telling and self-portrayel is where most skill is involved, and deep thoughts need to be taking into account for it. Rap has developed from a =

'Im gonna rock that in the street"
"I got that big, phat funky beat"

to

"And in a slug fest I get physical like physicians"
"Invisible like magicians with mystical mic traditions"


See...............


personally, i like self-portrayel and story/message telling

i wasnt really feelin it, it wasnt weak, i dunno though, i just didnt think it was all that great, keep droppin though, with a little more work that could be pretty damn good.

peace......

/:Ayura:\ knows his shit... i agree with him 110%... theres many different types of hip hop to suit different pplz tastes... storytelling is the shit... this guy wasnt weak; he came off quite good

yeah that ayura dude knows what he talkin bout, and if u can tell me who spit that second line u used as an example thatd be tight too
