IT IS BEEN A LONG TIME

It is been a long time like Rakim said, that I wrote rhymes. Couple of years ago I used to write daily. I wrote few freestyles on this blog to find out if I still got it. I asked a friend of mine to check it out. He was like I can not give a opinion by reading your rhymes, you got to drop it. Now he is actually asking me to rap again. It is been almost 3 years ago that I dropped some lyrics.
So long I live with my parents I don't think I am not putting any time into rapping.

But I freestyle alot, when I am biking toward my work. Then nobody can hear me.
I can not write about a certain topic. I am a brag an boaster, freestyle lyricist,

I started rapping in 1995. I have not picked up a microphone since 1999. I think I will write some lyrics on my blog, this is alot of fun for me to do. I have been performing once as the support act of the famous Dutch hip hop band called Osdorp Posse. At that time I was not surrounded by the right type of people to get me to a better level. I also did not had the right state of mind to propel in the rap game.

NOREALITY

This is some great news for the hip hop fans who loves music of N.O.R.E. I have been a huge fan of N.O.R.E ever since the CNN dropped their first album. They put Q.B on the map with War Report. I enjoyed the beats and all the versatile lyrics with the cocky edge. The features on the N.O.R.E's first album was all tight rappers such as Cam'ron, Jadakiss,Big pun spit the hot lyrics.

I have been waiting on his next album. I thougt that the album called God's favourite will be dope as the N.O.R.E's first album. The lyrics were dope, but the beats were not what I expected.

I think the upcoming album going to be a sraight banger. The guest appearences are very promising rappers such as Kanye West, Jadakiss, Three six Maffia, Prodigy,Bun B, Tru life,David Banner, Capone, Kurrupt. Swiss beats provide the beats.

DISTRIBUTE YOUR MUSIC DIGITALLY

I can imagine any rapper who at first picks up his microphone hopes to be a pro someday.
I know it takes much practice to get to a level that the listners starts to get to know what you are about. It also takes a good connections with the insiders of the industry. Not everyone can stand out in this game called rap. You know the hip hop community is very critical when it comes to rhymes and beats.

So you might got the skills, then you also need the perfect network. There are some talent scouts out there looking for the hottest kids to bring out. There are also alot of kids out there giving 100% and can not get any exposure, because the record company is prefering rappers appealing their self a certain way. What I mean is they only sign Gangsta rappers, not the rappers who is dropping freestyles with dope metaphores.

Now it doesn't matter if you are a underground rapper or a gangsta rapper. Now you can distribute your music digitally. If you don't have any money to press LP's, MC's, CD's. You can sell your songs through online music stores. All the indie music lovers will be able to shop for your music now. I got this good news for all the rappers who are looking for a way to sell their music. Go to www.kudos-digital.co.uk/

4 ELEMENTS OF HIP HOP

I got to tell you the facts about the hip hop culture, It is something we live, for short eat, dress, talk, walk, learn, earn is hip hop. It is not a trend as some think. It is a way of life, it is a mindstate, hip hop culture is about peace,love and unity, it is not about bitches, bling and bricks.
It is not about cars,clothes and cribs. Let me break down the 4 elements of hip hop for you.

1. Rapping: Rappers such as Sugar Hill Gang, Furious Five made hits in the beginning of the
hip hop culture. They are the pioneers. Also rappers such as Afrika Bambatta

2. DJing : spinnig records so that the rapper can drop his lyrics over the beats.
DJs such as Kool Herc , Grand Master Flash and DJ Red Alert were the first ones
to do this.
3. Breaking : Dancing to the beats of the DJ and the Rapper . The legendary Rock Steady Crew
is world wide known for this element.

4. Graffiti : airosol art, the urban youth would express their creativity on trains and walls.

You see these 4 things are the elements of the hip hop culture. If you are a rap listener and you dont't know what the the true purpose of the hip hop culure is. You are told that rap music is all about guns, drugs and sex. You got the wrong idea. I speak for the underground minority of the B-boys, who are keeping the community authenic with preservation of the culture. I suggest you go and listen to old school rappers such as Rakim, Krs-One, Big Daddy Kane.
Or the new rappers such as Atmosphere, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Planet Asia, Peanutt Butter Wolf.

I AM KIND OF ADDICTED TO THE RAKIM'S ALBUM CALLED 18th LETTER

I can not find no better album , than this album, lyrical wise is the alltime classic, this is the most dopest album Rakim ever dropped . Rakim has been claimed a living legend. The pure authenic hip hop is here, on this album. Songs such as Saga Begins contains samples of Prodigy.

This album has been droped over 9 years ago. This is a mile stone in hip hop history. 18th Letter is produced well by Clark Kent. He deserves the title superman when it comes to producing, what this album makes special is that the beats are so futuristic with all the classical old school breaks, from Rakim's previous albums.

I can not remember how many mics this album got in the Source. It got to be 5.
Yo!! in 1997 I was pumping this album constantly, in 2007 I am still pumping this one.
So any cat thinking and claimed by their hood as a legend,please wake from your dream and listen to this Rakim's album from 1997, then you will realize who is a legend, the lyrical master mind.

ASIATIC BROWNSKIN KID

You wack lyricist spit the weak shit, about drugs, guns and sex,
my plan is demand respect from any set, make a timeless hit,
Let me difine what hip hop is, dropping dope rhymes getting props kid,
making heads bob, you kind of laim, you pose no threat hops,
so stop the bullshit, your steady bragging about your full clip,
I see through your fronts about your stunts and blunts,
What about having some fun, True brown skin kid from Asia running this son,

Yo! the Island I am from ain't nothing nice, everything got a price,
My niggas eat 3 times a day rice, Where the women got more flavour than spice,
2500 years of culture is fading, war makes my people fall apart,
I creep deep in the dark, with art from the heart, I gain knowledge from the start,
I let God guide me, I deside to write tight scriptures
Representing the authenic hip hop, my paragraphs displays graphics like pictures,
It is the Asiatic brownskin kid, back again, to entertain and maintain
on the microphone, either it is rain,snow,hail or I never fell,
I got to tell you I can help you to propel, I sell my texts well.
The realest of the real.

GET YOUR MIND RIGHT

I have learned a lot the past ten years, especially about what the vital criteria is to propel in this western society. I have made a lots of mistakes too, I have actually learned from my mistakes.
One of the things I lacked was the right mind set as a person. One of the important things is the right mind set to get the things done you have in mind. So, what does this got to do with hip hop.

Hip hop is about chasing you dreams. Hip hop is about positivity. So now I got the right mind set. I think all the b-boys and fly girls should chase the dreams and get their mind right. If we as a hip hop nation should spread love and help each other to progress, We can make a differance.

In the media rap music is seen as a violent and women unfriendly, which some of the mainstream rap acts are. We got to make a fist and show hip hop is more than that. Hip hop is some thing we live. I am not hip hop, because of my race, religion or background. I am hip hop, because of my state of mind.
