Depth In HipHop Lyrics (My Tribute To THE-R)
Is Rakim The Ultimate "Rapper's Favorite Rapper"WHY/WHYNOT
IF NOT WHO IS?

Growing up I was inspired to step my rap game up by Rakim.Most of those who I politicked with would listen and break down Rakim lyrics.He always had something new that grabbed you in his songs.You always found one more meaning/perspective for the same line in the same song.Is Rakim "The ultimate Rapper's Favorite Rapper" Tell Why or Why not?
Peep The Deepness!!
The Depth Of HIPHOP Lyrics.
For example Jay-Z's verses on Jigga What-Jigga Who, is way different from his verses on My Presidents Black Remix. Both are deep, with different forms of depth. Ones a battle type depth Jigga What Jigga Who, the other has an esoteric depth or a more charismatic depth. Although both are good, the esoteric is my favorite. I like rhymes that you have to think about. I remember listening to emcee's of old like Rakim and KRS-ONE. Everyday I listened to them it seemed like I learned or heard something new that I didn't hear the last time. The first Rakim Joint I heard was "Eric-B is President" . When it began with "make,make, make,make,makem' clap to this" I knew this wasn't going to be like other rap joints.Rakims "attack" at the start proved me correct when he started by saying "I came in the door,I said it before,I'll never let the mic,magnetize me no more,but its biting me,fighting me,inviting me to rhyme..I can't hold it back,I'm looking for the lines"!He was spittin' rhymes like this, when Run-DMC and others were still forming rhymes with basic type,SUGAR HILL rhymes.I didn't understand his passion until I became an emcee. The mic is very "MAGNETIC" to a Mic Controller or Emcee.I could hear (and feel) a beat and it would put me in a zone that kept my brain creating and developing one of HIPHOP's greatest works of art,HIPHOP Lyrics.I listened to Eric-B is President, but I didn't "HEAR" until I started Spittin'(Rapping). I guess its true that everyone that listens don't always hear.

DJ Kinetick-An Artist Review
Kinetick Bass From B-More To L.A!
DJ Kinetick's rhythmic EDM(Electronic Dance Music) style gave him his reputation as a funky producer with an energetic vibe.I recently checked out the material of this award winning and very accomplished artist and found his music to be very hypnotic.I sank into track one "XTERMIN8 (Kinetick Remix)" and was very impressed with the way this remix was built.The sounds and tones all were in sink with a build up of momentum throughout the song that lead to an ending that could transition into your favorite masterpiece with ease.
DJ Kinetick's contest winning remix is soon to be released on Beatport,Itunes under Away Records.
His bass driven sounds of Fidget House and Dubstep can be heard online at www.soundclick.com/Kinetick .For information and booking visit DJkinetick.com or visit

IS HIPHOP TRULY DEAD?

YES(EXPLAIN WHY)
aprilmay22 says:
It died as a culture a long time ago.Rapping for the culture is speaking from the heart/mental..commercial rapping is rapping with the intent to sell records or gain a monetary or material object.Any type of commercialism is done with the intent to sell..not out of love and charity..great topic!HIP HOP IS DEAD!
