Yeah it's not one of my favorite albums either. But like you said, i need to listen it some more, because i haven't really played it so much. Check out there new album, its really different from there past work. I think its becoming my favorite album from them. I don't even skip any songs on it, proly just one. I'm not a big fan of She's Enough.

Do you believe you can make it relatively big in underground rap?

Would you tone down your lyricism to get more exposure?

What do you think of Masta Ace?

What's the best verse you've ever written, iyo?

Base vs Insider?

Who would you rather debate between the two?

Apathy vs Black Thought? Why?

Favourite rap lines ever?

How would you describe your political stance?

Where would you be without Eminem?

Why is Eminem so fucking great?

Who is Eminem?

Who do you wish would do a Question thread who hasn't yet?

Have you listend to the BME album yet?

Top 5 rappers ever, purely in terms of multies?

Nope, he's the most exciting thing to come out of hip-hop in years. Epitomises everything I love about hip-hop.

Did you listen to Gift of Gab yet?

Fuck, I keep forgetting. I just listened to Lightyears - not really fan of the 'sound' and, although the rhyming was nice and the flow was smooth, the delivery was kind of boring. Perhaps you could direct me to something else

Do you believe you can make it relatively big in underground rap?

Lol I've never recorded in my life. So no.

Would you tone down your lyricism to get more exposure?

Oh, I see what you're doing. Cheeky copy and paste. And I don't rap so not yet, no.

What do you think of Masta Ace?

DA and LHS two of my favourite albums of all time. He is amazing. The most timeless rapper ever.

What's the best verse you've ever written, iyo?

Probably the song for the Writing Competition Round 1 or Vicious Cycle

Base vs Insider?


Insider

Who would you rather debate between the two?


I think I could beat Base, I'd definitely struggle against Insider. So Base.

Apathy vs Black Thought? Why?

I've only heard very few Apathy verses so would be unfair for me to judge. I prefer Black Thought's rhyme schemes and delivery from what I've heard, though.

Favourite rap lines ever?

"We've each gort our own personal hell" - Copywrite

"I guess it's all just dependant who your nemesis is" - Lowkey

"I joke when I say I'm the best in the booth, but a lot of truth is said in jest" - Eminem

off the top of my head.

How would you describe your political stance?

Liberal/left.

Where would you be without Eminem?

Not on this forum i.e. probably doing something useful with my life.

Why is Eminem so fucking great?

GOAT of all time of all time.

Who is Eminem?

He is all of us. He is inside you and me. He is a lonely spirit that abides us all. He's not a rapper, he's a demon that speaks English.

Who do you wish would do a Question thread who hasn't yet?


Maybe
Insider
Block
Amadeo
mcZu

Have you listend to the BME album yet?

Yes.

Top 5 rappers ever, purely in terms of multies?

Eminem
Big L
Masta Ace
Copywrite
Tonedeff

How do you feel about me using your own questions against you?

I find it very, very cheeky. A slight turn on, in fact.

Lightyears is horrendous, lmfao. Listen to Blazing Arrow which is probably his best album , Nia is good, but I doubt you'd like it.

Here's a track, he's pretty good with multies, but he tends to spit a bit of drivel at times, to fit in the scheme. This might be better, but the scheme isn't as good.

Uhm, I never thought Black Thought had that great of a scheme actually, can you direct me to some songs with astounding multies?

The latter. I used to play properly and was pretty good but stopped player a couple of years back and now just play with mates and stuff.

Lyrics were kinda boring, but the schemes are pretty nice and he has a smooth flow. I'll give that album a DL when I get the chance.

He never goes anything over the top with rhymes but his multies are crafted pretty effortlessly. They remind of something like Eminem's My Fault - he uses them quite subtly. He's never spazzed out with them or anything but they're well crafted so well, most notably on How I Got Over

How much do you think people like to hide behind the whole it's subjective argument, and use it as a guardwall to throw up which prevents any further discussion?

How much do you agree with things being subjective, or do you believe if you have higher experience on the subject, you'd more likely than not, find that a horrible excuse to hide behind?

Do you agree that not all preferences are equal, and those with higher experience, have a better opinion than someone who doesn't?

Why is esoteric humor so funny?

Do you agree with the statement equal treatment is NOT the same treating others the same, but moreso different treatment regarding differentiating circumstances?

Is it fair to have lower standards for admission for those who have come from underprivileged background?

People who are good at arguing never used. It's idiots like Trigger that always bring up that shit.

Yeah, a lot of things are subjective. But there's NO point being in an argument if you're going to hide behind it. if you just state your opinion and don't engage in debate, cool. It's when people use it as an debating tool that it pisses me off.

Do you agree that not all preferences are equal, and those with higher experience, have a better opinion than someone who doesn't?

This is a tricky one. I wouldn't say it's a "better" opinion, but I'd respect someone's opinion more who has a higher knowledge of a subject.

Why is esoteric humor so funny?

Cus you can easily exclude people from the joke

Do you agree with the statement equal treatment is NOT the same treating others the same, but moreso different treatment regarding differentiating circumstances?

It's 2AM here and that question is a hurting my brain. I'll answer tomorow.

Is it fair to have lower standards for admission for those who have come from underprivileged background?

That's fair. As Akala said, "poor people are treated as dirt, regardless of shade", so they should have some fucking benefits. Government's don't give a fuck about poor people, there's a fear in the upper class of the working class taking over (see any revolution) and as the government are pretty much all from privileged backgrounds. Notice how someone like Lyndon Johnson in America was one of the few Presidents who gave a fuck about African American Civil Rights and their conditions (as poor people) - it's no coincidence he came from a less-previligied background than most other Presidents.

Thoughts on
1- Go To Sleep verse
2- Tupac
3- Biggie

Better posters than you?

Evan C. or Amadeo?

If Eminem(at his best) would collab with one between those 2, who would it be? Nas or Masta Ace?

Pretty forgettable. I like his delivery and the rhyming is decent but it bores me.

2- Tupac

Could of been great - was talented but so much of his material was forgettable. I loved his passion and energy, though.

3- Biggie

Creative with storytelling and imagery and, although his rhyming was pretty shitty I enjoy most of his music, probably because of his smooth flows. Was nothing that special though.

Better posters than you?

Maybe, Amadeo, Satire, diction, AbramIsaac, mcZu. Only counting people who have a fair post count.

Evan C. or Amadeo?

Evan C. doesnt even post anymore does he? I'll go for Amadeo.

If Eminem(at his best) would collab with one between those 2, who would it be? Nas or Masta Ace?

Probably Nas. At least I could comfort myself with Hellbound, even if Eminem had never heard of it until 2008!
