WU-TANG CLAN 101:PROTECT YA NECK!!!

WU-TANG CLAN 101: PROTECT YA NECK!!!
Yoa What can I say about these guy’s!!!From the slum's of Shoulin(Staten Island)has come forth the most "Amazing" group of men ever assembled!!!The RZA, The GZA, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Ghostface Killah,Raekwon the Chef, Masta Killah and The Method Man!!!THE WU-TANG CLAN!!! Their first CD entitled… Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers,has to be without a shadow of a doubt one of the worlds most “AMAZING” and “ULTIMATE GOLDEN GEM" Hip-Hop Classic EVER!!! Most “Street ni*%az” “only” like this album because of songs like C.R.E.A.M and METHOD MAN!!! Ni*%az like Meth’s style and all ni#@az LOVE money!!!infact The term C.R.E.A.M. iz now a commonly used term to describe the (Compressed silk cotton)But In retrospective the Wu are the “purest” group of “scientist” the world has ever seen!!! To merely call these 9(now 8) men “just” M.C.’s would be the ultimate insult!!! Yes…They started out as “just” M.C.’s but now they have evolved into a ”GOD LIKE” religion like status in “REAL” Hip-Hop.(especially in New York & Japan!!!) Most of them “ARE” 5%’s so I guess that the “GOD LIKE” status fits!!! There ascension maintained a steady pace, all the way up until WU-TANG FOREVER and their “ULTIMATE” video "TRIUMPH”!!! Bottom line.. ni*$a The Wu went way over most people's headz!!!LOL!!!But Seriously they where on a “philosophical” roll.!!!They had no choice but to do it!!!Ni#!a The Wu released so many “compilation” C.D.s and independent “projects” that the Industry of “Real” Hip-Hop had become oversaturated with them!!! But Like Inspectah Deck said.. “die hard fan’s demand MORE!!!” Man… the Triumph video was so “ILL” that your average nego couldn’t comprehend why it was so dope and tried to lamblast it!!! Check my previous blog at :Monday January 7th 2008 for "TRIUMPH" or this one for the greatest Hip-Hop video ever!!!POINT BLANK WU-TANG FOREVER was The Wu’s “ULTIMATE” Technological CRESEDO!! WU-TANG FOREVER was “Pure”magic and a“Diabolical” and “Utterly” amazing "masterstroke", for those of us who wished to Obtain “KNOWLEDGE OF SELF!!!”I could go into countless “detail’s” about why they are “The Greatest Hip-Hop group of all times” but I wont.(well mabey a little!);) The Wu iz the technological, futuristic “Sh*^t” and the absolute “best“(aside from their closest contenders (THE ROOTS, RUN-DMC,PUBLIC ENEMY, X-CLAN& OUTKAST)BAR NONE they are the greatest group of Lyricist ever assembled, but to discribe that,it would take hour’s and even “Day’s” to explain. But as with all 5% knowledge you must be careful to not “Insult” and "offend" the “God’s" I have peviously “mentioned" the Wu in 1 previous blog as the “THE GREATEST VIDEO EVER” and that’s pushing it!!! I hold nothing but “respect“ and “reverence” for the RZA and the remain 8 original members of the Wu. All I can say is that it is my “UNTIMATE DREAM” iz to pick “THE ABBOT’S BRAIN!!!”DRY!!! LOL!!! The only(supposed)weakness in the Wu’s ARMOR(at the time) was of course Ol’Dirty Bastard!!! R.I.P.“GOD“!!! And Much like Flavor Flav from PUBLIC ENEMY, O.D.B’s unpredictability was so far out there that it was there ultimate foray out of the mainstream(4 now)LOL!!! Peep game…THEY WILL BE BACK B*%CHES!!!THAT IZ IF CALLOUS HAS ANYTHING 2 DO WITH IT!!! AS I TRANSFORM INTO… O.D.B.2.0!!!AND HOW CAN HIP-HOP BE DEAD IF WU-TANG IZ FOREVER!!! Oh excuse me... did I just “rant” sorry about that!!!LOL just kidding, But seriously It just amazes me the Level of "DISRESPECT" that this "Industry" has shown to the “GOD’S”!!!I will openly talk about the 5 other contender’s for the Wu’s thrown on a later date. But let me “just” say this…RUN-DMC was “GREAT” for there period in time but much like KOOL HERC “was” the original “GODFATHER” of hip hop..but times change. The Wu is so "far” ahead of there time “EVEN I” Have a problem keeping up with them!!! LOL!!! That is why it is one of my ultimate “DREAM's” & “GOAL” is to one day become an “UNOFFICAL” member of the Wu like my man Reggie Noble!OUTKAST IZ dope but ya boy Cali feel’s a little indifferent about the whole ”Player image thing” In the Industry now a dayz.ANDRE’3000 iz just that!!! 1000 some odd years ahead of most Rappers!!!Black Thought & the ROOT'S have there very own Fan base but not like The Wu. But this blog is not these other 4-5 groupz It's about the Wu.The Wu iz miraculous!!! The “sheer” and “utter” shining “magnificence” of the Wu is pure “metaphysical” magic!!! With a combination of Middle eastern/Asian Art’s, martial art’s Street Smarts & Ghostface Killahz Paisley Dart’s!!!LOL!!! What up Ghost!!! Bobbie Digital is without a Shadow of doubt one of the greatest scientific mind’s on the planet!!!(Besides THE CANIBUS-MAN!!!) Come on yall you know that This blog could go on for day’s!!! Let me tell you a brief story on how “DEEP” our “LOVE” for the Wu get’s. As Real Hip-Hop HEADZ and Fanz!!!I have a thug friend of mine named “D-LUN” that is just strait up “Out-cold” Street!!! “Gutter” & “Gully!!!” and we would get into these mad debates about how great Wu was (& still is) and who loves them the most, Anyways We went back and forth, up & down, left and right 4 about a month(I liked RZA while he LOVED Raekwon and Ghost)We went on for about a month or so about who the best member’s were ect..ect.. Then “One” Day my boy comes into “WORK“..WITH THE WU-TANG SYMBOL TATTOOED DIRICTLY ON HIS FOREARM!!!LOL!!! Now that’s MAD LOVE DAWG!!! But yoa check it I’m CALLOUS man!!! And I have my “very own” symbol ”THE HAND WITH THE MEAN AZZ SMILEY FACE!!!” So Until I actually meet them and learn there various lessons and or become an actual member, I’m not going that far yet!!! LOL!!! Look at “The Game” he has “N.W.A.” Tattooed on his chest, but because of the “beef” between him & “50” he is branded for life and perhaps will never be able to work with Dre again. I give THE WU the unconditional, unwavering, universal “RESPECT” that they deserve and that’s that. Man this Real hip-hop folklore at it’s best yawl!!! FEEL ME?? The bottom line iz. THE WU TANG CLAN iz the “Sh*t” the do do and yes the bogie D Bop!!! Now come with me to the video that started it all!!! PROTECT YA NECK (KID)!!! Man the first time I saw O’l Dirty I wanted to be just like him, cuz I’m grimy like that!!! U know Because he was so OUT-COLD!!! But I will get “into” all of that later(like I said I can go on for Day’s)But I choose to respect the “GODs” and their lessons. I could mention so many other song’s it would be redundant!!! The Bobbie Digital CD is one of my most ”Diabolical” pieces of source material & I’ll leave it at that!!! Unfortunately Right now iz a time of morning with the passing of the O.D.B. What a damn shame!!! Because much like Professor X, Dirt Mc Girt was one of the worlds Ultimate HYPE MAN!!! So with that said & done let’s get into the guarantied point blank hip-hop classic!!! Ladies and gentleman.. When you mess with the Wu you best to…..PROTECT YA NECK!!!
Peace to all the “GOD’S” and the “EARTH’S“ ya man.. CALLOUS!!!O.D.B 2.0
P.S. and to those of you who missed my blog on the greatest video ever 1/7/08 here in addition to Protect ya neck is the evolution of the Wu-Tang Clan with Da Mystery of Chess Boxing and The Greatest Hip-hop video ever “Triumph”
peace & war CALLOUS:THE FUTURISTIC MILITANT!!!

Bob Diggie yeah you know who M.C.!!!RZA iz without a shadow of a “doubt” one of the Illest M.C.’s Alive!!!(Besides CANIBUS) Combine that with the production know how of an orchestra conductor and you have perhaps the most “Sinister” Scientist ever!!! RZA was so methodical that he entered the Industry as Prince Rakeem with the “Deep”-n-“Dark” intentions “all along” to take it “OVER“ completely!!! RZA is so Sharp that it borderlines” MURDER” Man I am telling you when I first saw “Tragedy” and the way he was bouncing off the wall’s I was like this “NEGO IZ SICK!!!” LOL!!! Then he was like Swinging his arm’s back and forth! I imitated that for like a YEAR!!! Man I could go on for hours about how bad this “Mad Scientist“ iz!!! From taking the work “load” of the entire Wu, to Wu-wear to the Wu’s point system,to BLADE TRINITY, to KILL BILL… to Afro-Samurai Bobby iz just out of his mind yall!!! Man it’s like this he was like and I quote..
” You can’t compare/ to an Atom of my Hair/escape from your Dragoons lair!!!…

” MAN What the fuck!!!? Man when RZA dropped Bobby Digital in Stereo on us 11-24-89 I was like dam this niggaz “FUTURISTIC” as “FUCK!!!” His boy “Meth” said it!!! on ENTER THE 36 CAMBERS that “RZA” was the “BEST” and “better than any rapper any DJ” regardless of ’Meth’s popularity!!! But I didn’t have “ANY” idea on how “melodic” & “methodical” this mad man actually was!!! RZA’s music as BOBBY DIGITAL was light years beyond 1989!!!This is “2008” and I still listen to it!!! It’s that far “ahead” of it’s time!!! Fuck I’m listening to it right NOW!!! LOL!! It still sound’s as “FUTURISTIC”& "FRESH" as the day I took it out of it’s CD case!!! Combine this with all the other various incarnations of himself & Groups like that sick *Rzarector from Gravediggers ,KILLARMY, SONS OF MAN,THE KILLA BEES CD’S,KILLA PRIEST, METH & THE REST OF THE WU, man the list goes on &on!!! Bottom line Bobby iz one of the most melodic men to walk on God’s green earth!!!It’s that simple. Dog RZA just break’s it down like Arm Leg Leg Arm Head!!!(ALLAH)Then there’s those damn ring’z and golden fangz!!! Damn man I got a smile on my face rite now thinking about all of his “Visionary” and “futuristic” antic’s this “man” has innovated!!! Like… FUCK YOU ANOLOG NIGGAZ WE BE DIGITAL!!!

I had a Bobby Digital T shirt when I worked in the Factory and man I wore that shirt until it was Torn 2 shreds!!! I also had a regular Wu symbol shirt with the same result’s!!! Bottom line I was a complete Wu-Head!!! I still am!!! Wu-Colors don’t run!!! I haven’t picked up 8 Diagram’s yet but I am a.s.a.p. Even when people was hating on them after “Triumph” I was like you niggaz iz just stupid !!!LOL!!!CALLOUS doesn’t have any sympathy for idiot’s who don’t study the lessons!!! Hell my name Is CALLOUS!!! I work hard and study even harder than the average man!!! But I digress!!! ”RZA has some of the most “mystifying” material ever in his archives From “UNSPOKEN WORD” to “HOLOCAUST” to “TERRORIST” to “MY LOVIN IS DIGI” Man Bobby even put these “BLACK WOMEN” in CHECK on “Domestic Violence.. HARD!!! HE AINT L.L. man!!! BOBBY DON’T PLAY DAT!!! He’s Prince Raheem!!! Nigga RZA truly tap’s into the mindstate of the endless “FRUSTRATIONS” of the BLACK MAN!!! Nigga you either feel him or you don’t!!! LOL!!!REAL Hip-Hop head’s know what Im talking about!!!I know it seams’ like Im just “ranting” & “rating” 1 album but BOBBY iz just 2 ILL man!!!And The biggest myth in Hip-Hop is His Album "THE CURE" said 2 be the greatest album of all time!!!But he refuses to release it. So with that said let’s get into one of the Illest video’s ever ”Tragedy”!!! RZA I truly hope that we can work together one day.

CANIBUS 101:THE SCIENTIFIC CHAMPION!!!

CANIBUS 101“THE SCIENTIFIC CHAMPION”
What can I say about this man? For starters CANIBUS is the “Scientific Champion” PEROID!!!RZA iz just way to busy rite now “in my opinion” putting the Wu back on the map!!! Believe u “me” that is the “only” man on the “Planet Earth” that can even come remotely “close” to THE CANIBUS MAN!!! Regardless of” L.L.” or “Emenim’s” Bravado The “C” got um lost on “C”!!! Keep in mid yall we are talking about M.C.’s not rappers!!! Im putting it out there just as plain as day so nobody twist & turns my word’s!!! Can’t nobody fuck with the CANIBUS-MAN!!! rite now. Period. He even has his own religion now called the “Nation of Bislam.!!!“ Lookie here man, I’m telling you truthfully…CANIBUS much like Brother J had to have been Abducted by Alien’s!!! For real!!! LOL!!! No mere mortal man could “possibly” know so much about existence. For me to even be writing this blog is highly “Dangerous.” The CANIBUS-MAN eats’ eats’ eats’ M.C.’s for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!!! His scientific knowledge of the universe is “BEYOND LEGENDARY” in the world of “TRUE” M.C.’s!!!“ HELL” even his “Freestyles” are dope!!! “2ed Round Knock Out” was just a mere “sliver” of his abilities!!! His greatest song to date in my “personal opinion” is Poet Lurate2.I like “INFINITY” but I’m still trying to assimilate #2.Because In #2 This brother is “fearless” and “paint‘s” the canvas of the mind like Mica Angelo!!! Witch raises one Question?!?
WHAT IN THE HELL!!! DID THE MILITARY PUT INTO THIS MAN’S BLOOD STREAM???BIOLOGICAL TECHNOLOGICAL CYBORNETIC‘S & NANO ROBOT TECHNOLOGY!!!??? LOL!!! His mastery over the English language iz so dope that he say’s and I quote:

On lyric’s alone Im a Legend/
but I can’t take credit the English language was not my invention!!!

WHAT!!!???NIGGA WHAT!!!???LOL!!!
But as you can see much like Brother J, Canibus is so far ahead in the future that he might be one of the last ”Grey matter” living human beings in “ALL” of known existence!!! Constantly Transmitting his messages “clearly” threw the “celestial wireless”!!! Obviously by the use of some time based quantum physics and telepathy!!! His very “Spirit” has to be sending him messages from the future!!!That’s the only way I can explain it !!!I mean the man iz “that” dope!!! Unfortunately CANIBUS makes very few video’s so I have to start at the beging of his rain. When he “Destroyed” My main man L.L.“L.L” might be the G.O.A.T. but CANIBUS doesn’t care. In fact he is taunt’s him "FLAT OUT" by naming his last album RIP THE JACKER!!!(JACK THE RIPPER BACKWARDS)Because he is so ridiculously & obviously better!!! the “Scientific Champion” Insults Uncle L on so many levels it is ridiculous.!!! Song’s, tattoo’s you name it!!! L went Toe to Toe with Kool Moe D for like forever!!! And did not quit until the job was done with “Momma Said Knock You Out” and with all due respect to Uncle L he is more concerned about his Career than being an M.C. now a day’s!!! Because if he “was” to go another “round” with this Technological “Mad-Man” it would be “OVER!!! Mention CANIBUS to most people and they get all “UNCOMFOTABLE”-n-“SHIT”!!! after all who n the “HELL” want’s to “Look” Stupid & “uneducated“!!! The Rip the Jacker CD and his others stays in my top 5.With song’s like 100 bars,Buckingham Palace ,POET LUREATE II, Genabis & Levitibus it’s “NO WONDER” the Uncle is “Terrified” of the CANIBUS MAN, But to those of you who think I don‘t “respect” the Legend in Leather your wrong .After all if you go to my myspace page and hear me flow you will hear the following in the DNA make up of CALLOUS!!! CALLOUS has..

THE MOUTH OF L.L THE BRAIN OF CANIBUS/ THE SOUL OF RAKIM & THE HEART OF KRS/ WITH THE SKIN OF RED MAN, AND THE DRIVE OF BUSTA RHYMES/ MAKES CALLOUS THE BIOLOGICAL WEAPON BY DESIGN!!!

Also..IM MALCOLM X 2.0 WITH THE SICK FUTURISTIC MILITANT FLOW/SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT BIOLOGICAL NEGRO

It’s that plain and simple.Oh well…this Blog is about the “Scientific Champ” and “NOT” me. CANIBUS if you “ever” get a chance to read this blog contact me threw my myspace. Or my main man Caesar Johnicvs Im a hard worker & as “you” can obviously “see” I have nothing but the utmost “respect” for “you” REAL HIP-HOP and your “Thrown”!!! What LL did on 4,3,2,1 and is doing with DEF JAM is just flat out “WRONG“!!! The Bottom line iz. CANT’T NOBODY FUCK WITH THE CANIBUS MAN!!! CAN’T NOBODY FUCK WITH THE CANIBUS MAN!!!and even though I’m “good” at this stage of creating the Universe of CALLOUS!!!I know with your assistance and lessons I can make it 100 times better!!! Bottom line… The “CANIBUS MAN” iz a “fierce scientist” “Grand free-styler” and a “Warrior” of “epic proportions” all to the extent of “sheer” and “utter” insanity!!! Caesar Johnicvs a.k.a 3ed hoax the Hip-Hop reset button said in one of my Blog’s that when The “R” made “Follow the Leader” He just simply “Blacked out” Well if he “blacked” out when he did that, then the “CANIBUS MAN” is walking around in a COMA!!! LOL!!! So with that all said & done let us travel back in time to watch “The Man” get down & dirty with Uncle L!!! Because like Rick Flair say’s on so many occasions Wooooo“To be the man you got 2 beat the man!!!“ Ladies & Gentleman pay your respect’s to one of the hardest working poet’s in all existence!!! I give to you the current and raining “Scientific Champion.” CANIBUS!!! In “one” of his most “diabolical” onslaughts 2ed ROUND K O!!! And to quote Rick flare yet again ”You don’t like? you better love it!!! Cause it’s the best thing going today!!! “Wooooooooo!!!
-Now that’s CALLOUS!!!




4-17-09
Now a lot of people look bewildered when i say CANIBUS is the best at what he does so I've returned to this blog to add one of the greatest rhymes ever conceived by a mortal man and until I hear this level of Supremacy and complex thought people just need to Stop asking who the Scientific Champ is...this is Poet Laureate II

BLACK STEEL IN THE HOUR OF CHOAS!!!

Once again this comment was so "DOPE" That I had no "CHOICE" but to "INCLUDE" it in my Blog.And I quote...THE GREAT CAESAR JOHNICVS...

Caesar Johnicvs said...
Can you say "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos"? In my opinion the is Public Enemy personified!

January 30, 2008 12:15 PM

PUBLIC ENEMY 101:FIGHT THE POWER!!!

PUBLIC ENEMY 101:FIGHT THE POWER!!!
CHUCK D,FLAVOR FLAV,PROFESSOR GRIFF,THE S1W’S,& TERMINATOR X!!! These 4 gentlemen & the S1W’s have run “PRO-BLACKNESS” in “HIP-HOP” since there debut ALBUM…

1987
Public Enemy
Yo! Bum Rush the Show
To say that these brothers are extraordinary would be an understatement!!! CHUCK D started off as a graphic arts student as well as a college radio DJ at Adelphi University until he meet his “ULTIMATE” partner in “CRIME” the “INCOMPAREABLE” court jester of Hip-Hop None other than(Now) FLAVOR of LOVE STAR… FAAAVOR FLAAAVE!!!*snicker*Snicker*Snicker* When these 4 gentlemen & THE S1W’s entered HIP-HOP the “GOLDEN ERA” Began!!! Aside from PARIS & THE X-CLAN, PUBLIC ENEMY were a world class wrecking crew!!!Nobody knew anything about the Nation of Islam or our sorted history before “PUBLIC ENEMY” because after the civil rites movement in the 60’s and 70’s NEGO’S became complacent.(much like they are now) It would take the meeting of these 4 men & the S1W’s to bring people “up to speed” and that the “Nation of Islam” even “EXISTED” Man…CHUCK D would say it oh so boldly.. Farrakhan’s a prophet and I think you ought to listen to/What he can say to you, what you ought to do…

At this time “NOBODY” and I do mean ”NOBODY” was dropping knowledge like this!!! then PUBLIC ENEMY took it to a whole “notha level” with there next album…

1988
Public Enemy
It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
This is where the “PRO-BLACK ERA” or rather the ”GOLDEN ERA” truly began to pick up speed!!! and this is where “ONE” of the “GREATEST” video’s of all time comes into play. I could go on & on about “PUBLIC ENEMIE’S” political accolade’s and there next album “FEAR OF A BLACK PLANET” but I would begin to sound redundant!!! Also As a POLITICAL ACTIVIST …CHUCK .D’s actions spoke “louder” than his “words” any way’s in “volumes“!!! FLAVOR FLAVE till this day is “STILL” considered to be the “ULTIMATE” fricin Hype man!!! But before I go “ANY” deeper…and this get’s out of hand ..Get it ..out of Hand…CALLOUS?? LOL!!!Let us travel back in time to HIP-HOP’s GOLDEN ERA and perhaps one of the most influential Hip-Hop video’s ever made. Ladies and gentlemen …It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back!!! when you “FIGHT THE POWER!!!”

RAKIM: 101 I AINT NO JOKE!!!

Yoa this comment was so dope... that I had to place it as "PART" of this BLOG!!!

Caesar Johnicvs said...
It Aint No Joke is definetly what started it all for a lot of MCs, even me. Almost every MC out there has biten at least one line from that joint because it was so innovative. Nearly, 25 years later, and that song still is as relevant as the day it was made. That joint is solidly in my 10 songs of all time....NO DOUBT! Everyone out there should go back and listen to "It Aint No Joke" and another one of Rakim's flamethrowers called "Follow the Leader"...my personal favorite. I think he just blacked out on "Follow the Leader" 'cause he just went absolutely bananas! On that one he has no real hook, just line after line after line of pure fire! Ever the video for "Follow the Leader is dope!


Good lookin' out Callous...show these fools what's up!

Caesar Johnicvs aka
3rdhoax aka
HipHop's Reset Button!


Check out My Melody, I Aint No Joke, Lyrics of Furry, Musical Massacre and of course "MY" ALL time favorite... Follow the Leader!!! Have all set a president and bench mark that have yet to be surpassed!!! PEROID!!! These song’s have set an unprecedented level of supremacy that mere mortal men could not have comprehend at the time!Only Brother J from X Clan and Big Daddy Kane are said to be the only one’s who have ever threatened RAKIM’S THROAN OF SCIENTIFIC STYLE AND KNOW HOW. Some people “SAY” that they wanted to put Big Daddy Kane up against the “R” but that is lost in the mist of HIP-HOP Folklore. Brother J from X Clan is the only man in my opinion to talk about time, space and existence even remotely "CLOSE" to The R’s level. But J was far to intellectual for most listeners. RAKIM was the first in my opinion to use 5% mathematics in a rhyme.(I could be wrong.) Saying and I quote the very gospel of the thus come one…

I take 7 mcs put em in a line
And add 7 more brothas who think they can rhyme
Well, itll take 7 more before I go for mine
And thats 21 mcs ate up at the same time

Come on yall!!!RAKIM’s VIDEO’S in my opinion could not even keep up with the MAN!!!LOL!!! Follow the Leader should have been filmed IN OUTER SPACE!!!LOL!! But technology at the time was not that advanced. Besides the “R” iz a Gangster! The way he Jacked Hip-Hop.. so I guess it fit’s!!! X-Clan’s video’s however were rite on point!!! But like I said X-CLAN and KRS ONE were on some next level intellectual sh#*! RAKIM knew how to do it ALL!!! Rock a Party, control the mic, AND Drop knowledge!!! NAS come’s close but this is the "R" man!!!Even CANIBUS the current reigning Scientific Champ rip’s it raw from the “R” when talking about time & space and in the song SPARTIBUS flat out put’s the “R” in the HOOK showing “pure” unconditional respect!!! It’s that simple. Real M.C.’s know. Ghostface Killah from the Wu-Tang Clan has a joint called Paisley Dart’s where he tell’s it like it is. Thank’s Caesar Johnicvs aka
3rdhoax aka HipHop's Reset Button! You TRULY have EARNED YOUR NAME!!!

RAKIM 101: I AINT NO JOKE

RAKIM 101:I AINT NO JOKE
What can I say that I haven't already said in my blog. RAKIM is the "MODERN DAY" GODFATHER OF HIP-HOP!!!{In my personal opinion}. No disrespect to KOOL HERC, But in-between RAKIM,LL,CANIBUS,RZA & THE ENTIRE WU..REAL HIP-HOP has EVOLVED from it's humble origins. This Video "I AINT NO JOKE" started it all for me.The Bottom Line.. All of The R's song's are insightful and ahead of there time. Therefore I had NO CHOICE!!! But to crown "THE 13th LETTER" the "MODERN DAY" GODFATHER OF HIP-HOP! There has been no other like him before him nor has there been any like him after. We can get into a deep conversation about it,go on & on about all these other mere mortal men, but I think Most "MODERN DAY" HIP-HOP PUREST will agree with me.The "R" iz GOD!!!"After all he is a 5%er!!!Seriously... From his re~invention of the 3 bar rhyme scheme,pyramid song building & 5% knowledge plz.-__- "The Master" started it all.Remember we are talking about "REAL HIP-HOP" here, not mainstream rap. Please understand and respect the difference between the two. Regardless of your age or creed.RAKIM is RAKIM and that's that. This Video {I Aint No Joke} also had a hilarious cameo by Flavor Flav of(Public Enemy/Flavor of Love)That made people at the time say..Hey who in the hell was that guy???Also As a contrast from then 2 now I have included Follow the Leader and one of his latest Classic's the song "CLASSIC!!!"Ladies and Gentleman please pay "All" due respect to RAKIM:THE "MODERN DAY" GODFATHER OF HIP-HOP!!!WHY???I KEEP IT CALLOUS!!!

Boggie Down Productions-My Philosophy

I recieved a comment from my man Caesar Johnicvs a.k.a.3ed hoax saying that Boogie Down Productions "My Philosophy" was his personal favorite Greatest Hip-Hop video of all time! I concure that it was one of the greatest by far! Directed by the Great Fab 5 Freddy, Boggie Down Productions "My Philosophy" is bar none one of the Greatest Hip-Hop video's ever produced. KRS ONE is the very "HEART" of Hip-Hop and has been said to be "The Greatest onstage performer of all time!", "The Techa", and "Grand Freestyler" This video goes beyond what MTV or BET was playing at the time. Dropping knowledge back and forth left & right. The reason why I chose Wu-Tang-Triumph as my top video is because of the sheer verity and technological know-how of the entire ensemble of the Wu. All the Wu's various style's combined with cutting edge computer animation (at the time) is the reason Wu-Tang "Triumph" is considered to be my greatest Hip-Hop group's of all time. But much respect to "My Philosophy". You can see "Triumph" on my post on 1.7.08. Here's BDP's "My Philosophy"

What is Real Hip-Hop part:1

What is Real Hip-Hop part:1(THE POST MODERN ERA)
What is REAL HIP-HOP? We all know that the Hip-Hop culture is a state of mind.. including, rapping, scratching, break-dancing, graffiti, music, and fashion. The “culture” of Hip-Hop began in the late 70’s & early 80’s in New York City, evolving from street block parties where DJs would put on instrumentals and rappers would rap over them, challenging each other to see who was the best by either rocking the party, story telling, or battle rapping. Some say KOOL HERC,(Who most say is the rightful GODFATHER of Hip-Hop), GRANDMASTER FLASH and AFRIKA BAMBAATAA started it all, as “THE HOLY TRINITY” of Hip-Hop. Some say BDP vs. THE JUICE CREW started it all with Brooklyn vs. the South Bronx. But… it was in fact all of them INCLUDING other’s such as KOOL KEITH, THE SUGAR HILL GANG, KURTIS BLOW, RUN-DMC, WHODINI, U.T.F.O., L.L.COOL.J, KOOL MOE .D AND THE TRECHEROUS 3, and yes even THE FAT BOY’S who all subsequently started it all together, coming from this “generalized area” as they rapped and scratched about parting, having fun and what was happening on the streets of their neighborhoods and their lives.

What is Real Hip-Hop part:2(THE GOLDEN ERA)
But what is REAL HIP-HOP? REAL HIP-HOP from a true hip-hop purest perspective began intellectually, scientifically, and spiritually with the highest practitioner and forefather of “modern day” Hip-Hop thought, the 13th letter, the R, and the “true” God/Father of Hip-Hop, the one and the only...RAKIM. Where KOOL HERC, GRANDMASTER FLASH, AFRIKA BAMBAATAA, and others brought raw emotion and energy, RAKIM transcended the very definition of (not only) wordplay & metaphors, but also integrated science, supreme mathematics, 5% knowledge, 3 bar timing techniques, pyramid song formation, and complex non-linier thought, Other Conscience rappers at this time included KRS-1, PUBLIC ENEMY, X-CLAN, PARIS, POOR RIGHTEOUS TEACHERS, BIG DADDY KANE, A TRIBE CALLED QUEST, THE JUNGLE BROTHERS,QUEEN LATIFAH and a select few others of “true revolutionary spirit” who would then usher in what would come to be known as the Legendary Revolutionary “GOLDEN ERA” of Hip-Hop, around the late 80’s and early 90’s. Other ground-breaking contributors of substance & style in the “GOLDEN ERA” would include KOOL G. RAP and SLICK RICK(the original forefathers of street swagger), M.C. LYTE, ARESSETED DEVELOPMENT, DA LA SOUL,BLACK SHEEP, and DIGABLE PLANETS to name a few. This was Hip-Hop in it’s most serious and revolutionary phase. At this time Drug Dealing and Pimping(or being a Player) was GENERALLY shunned upon and treated as the low life lifestyle’s that they were and still are! Also those who attempted to “drop knowledge” without studying where shunned upon as well!

Today only a few “Conscience” M.C.’s carry on this tradition of revolutionary thought...Like WU-TANG CLAN, COMMON, TALIB KWELI, THE ROOTS, DEAD PREZ, MOS-DEF and NAS. Other M.C.‘s of the highest “metaphoric” caliber include RED MAN, METHOD MAN, BUSTA RHYMES, The still surviving Legendary L.L. COOL .J and perhaps 2 of the GREATEST scientific and battle M.C.‘s on the planet...CANIBUS and THE RZA. Hear in lies the RUB, At this level in the game of REAL HIP-HOP (not mainstream rap) unless you EVOLVE to understand complex scientist like the CANIBUS-MAN and THE ABBOT, it is suggested that you read no further, continue to listen to the radio and enjoy your MINDLESS COMMERCIAL RAP MUSIC ONLY! And furthermore.. You should refrain from the use of the term REAL HIP-HOP! Including term’s like “I AM HIP-HOP!” and the continued use of the ridiculous catch phrase “PLAYER HATER” all as an excuse to remain ignorant. Because REAL HIP-HOP is about REVOLUTION, DEEP THOUGHT, and SUBSTANCE! Not just simple street rhetoric, it’s all about pushing the envelope and the listener’s limits while breaking the hypothetical constructs and paradigm shifts of the mind in the form of science, metaphors, NEW complicated techniques, wordplay, deliverance, depth and of course at it’s highest levels the REVOLUTIONARY AGENDA! REAL HIP-HOP is what it was and still is at it’s peak “SERIOUS REVOLUTIONARY MUSIC!”

What is Real Hip-Hop part:4

What is Real Hip-Hop part: 4(THE FUTURE)
Why is REAL HIP-HOP “SERIOUS REVOLUTIONARY MUSIC”?
Because.. if not for the aforementioned Legendary Revolutionary “GOLDEN ERA” in Hip-Hop…none of this would hold precedence or substance because the “bar” and “tier” would not have been set!!! Think about it… if not for the “SERIOUSNESS” of our civil rights forefathers like MALCOLM X or HEWEY P. NEWTON, would we even have the freedom to speak on such idiotic nonsense and buffoonery? The Black Man is far more than a “Drug dealer” a “Pimp or Player” a “Thug” a “Coon” or a “Dancing Jiggabo”!!! That is why REAL HIP-HOP is not about that. Today, there are even more and more hard working Black People who go to work every day to provide for their families and are respectable upwardly mobile urban entrepreneurs that are sick and tired of the nonsense and blame REAL HIP-HOP! As an entertainer you put yourself in the position and in the spot light to make a difference! Do you have to be perfect? No. But at least show “some” respect for yourself and your culture!!! Art is art but come on!!! Contrary to what some may lead you to believe, fashion does not automatically make you hip-hop! Just like foolishly going to PRISON, dealing CRACK, KILLING your own kind and PIMPING women does NOT make you Hip-Hop! Because even though you can dress a monkey up... that doesn't make that monkey a man. Just like any boy can lay down and make a baby. But it take’s a MAN to be a FATHER!!!

Everyone is entitled to their, opinion give me yours.
