Depth In HipHop Lyrics (My Tribute To THE-R)

From all the dance rappers, to the so-called Gangsta rappers,not many emcees are putting deep messages into their music. Anyone who "claims to be HipHop" must own two classic albums(Rakim's "Paid In Full" and Nas's "Illmatic").These are two of the Deepest albums in HipHop. Depth is todays most under-rated aspect of rap in the Hip Hop Culture.

Peep The Deepness!! 

The Depth Of HIPHOP Lyrics.

I'm asking all the younger generation of "hiphoppers", do you listen to BIG? Now I'm asking, do you hear BIG? There is a difference between listening and really hearing an emcee. Depth is the key to understanding or really hearing the most skilled emcees inner being.
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.

Eric-B is President 

Eric-B And Rakim (HIPHOPS FINEST "Spittin Flames").

Rakim is an emcee that "paved" the way for artist like Jay-Z, Nas, Tupac,and even RunDMC by making them step their game up. Rakim (the TRUE G.O.A.T) is one of HIPHOPS greatest pioneers.He developed a lot of the slang and word play used by emcee's today. As a member of The 5% Nation,he helped to usher in the knowledge based rap styles you see in artists from around 1986. Rakim was seen as one of if not "The Innovator" of Complex rhyme schemes with internal metaphores. Listen and Hear the way he makes you internalize the words he say.

Glossary of HipHop 

HipHop Terms And Artists

Eric B. & Rakim were a hip-hop duo composed of DJ Eric Barrier and MC Rakim Allah (born William Michael Griffin Jr.).

Hailing from Long Island, New York, the pair is generally considered by hip hop enthusiasts to be one of the most influential and innovative groups in the genre. During hip hop's so-called golden age of the mid-1980s to the early 90s, the duo was almost universally regarded as the premier MC/DJ combo in hip hop. The two had a potent chemistry and each represented the height of innovation in their respective roles: Rakim was the master lyricist, an innovative talent who pushed the art of hip hop lyricism to new creative heights with his use of internal rhyme, sophisticated metaphors, and with a methodical-yet-effortless delivery; the duo's beats built on the hard-hitting sound of Run-D.M.C. by adding James Brown samples and Eric B's extensive scratching skills, setting the stage for hip hop's late-1980s/early-1990s infatuation with samples from the Godfather of Soul.http://music.aol.com/artist/eric-b-and-rakim/biography/1039109

From Nothing To All The Above

I done been to the bottom,
I done suffered a lot,
I deserve to be rich,
Headed straight to the top.

Sometimes a mans story can't truly be felt unless you "walk a mile in his shoes".Maino is telling you what he is about. From a fellow emcee standpoint,this song should be the "BANGER"!!WE all need this kind of "inspiration"
