I don't know many rappers that can write like this:
In a slug fest I get physical like physicians
Invisible like magicians wit mystical mic traditions

^^^What? around that time ALL of the underground emcee rhymed like that, Common, Talib Black Thought, Keith Murry...they all were underground at the same time, and that was 'the thing to do' back then. Underground cats have a image to protray just like commercial do, it just a different image. Your Lord and Savoir Eminem didn't innovate shit, Inifinte is just Slim's basement kareoke verson of Illmatic, and he even said hisself that Masta Ace is the father to his style...
And 40 ounce you on that GOOD crack for what you said.....
