So you wanna be a Rap superstar live large?!
F*** it lets kick this thing of right. This is a story all about how my life got flipped turned upside...... lol Ace that's a little shot from my 9 fired at you my friend.
Thought I'd switch it up a little, I know most you meatheads (yeah I said it 
with a smile) love nothing more than slapping on your leather chaps, sitting down to an episode of sons of anarchy, and afterwards singing the chorus to skynard and miming the rest, or listening to something by those metalic fellows who also enjoy a nice leather outfit from time to time.
However, this is for the old school/new school Original pirate material HIP HOP aka the greatest movement certainly in the music industry for the longest time. Just to be clear (imo) you don't have to rep KRS ONE, Big daddy Kane or the damn S.H.G, from way back in the day as good as they were to know your shit but if it's Good rap, it's good f****** Rap!
If your still paying attention your probably thinking a little background to Monk wouldn't go a miss, which corner he rep, which set he claim. Well, none lol. Most of you have seen the movie Bravehart, round those big hills is where I grew up and at that age I was pumping my tape deck to either something like Coolio, run dmc or Beatnuts lol as you can imagine even in a relatively modem climate at the time the 'Record Shop' didnt have a great selection. Mostly secomd hand or had to order shit in, untill Eminem dropped and suddenly everyone had their Middle finger up and the shelves were full lol and the store workers would even sell the parental advisory CDs (big deal at the time) to me and my friends as young kids which I still genuinely love that fact to this day lol. Primary shool teacher confiscates 'hi my name is' lol I'll never forget the look on their faces and the sheer outcry at The simple fact he said FUCK.
I've waffleed on enough now, down to the meat and potatoes. So what's topic of convo? Top ten Greatest Mc's? best album? Biggie or Pac? etc etc nah nah.
Ive always loved Rappers (legit) go at each other with come back diss records not fake ass shit. If anyone's intrested I wanna hear some of your favourite and greatest diss tracks.
For me it might be an obvious choice to most but Nas was my shit growing up and when "ether" dropped he murdered J. He also went hella hard with "got yourself a g.." And To be fair J's responses over the years were always s*** hot qualty lyrically but for me, Nas killed him.
Benzino v Em was some funny s*** to lol.

This right her' brings back memories of me and the boys in high school crusin' around in an old Honda civic smoking blunts and chowing on Wendy's JBC's. Damn nothing ever tasted so good! Those were the days.
This is kind of a fun thread, it's pretty easy to date some of you old bastards with it.
StevebI would say you're in your late 20's to early 30's being that the Juggalo movement has not been around too long.
Lol, I wish I was in my late twenties. Then I wouldn't have to do all this damn 9th grade homework. Shits hard bro.
These guys were huge around here back in the day. And yes they were really criminals,lol

Ace VenturaOh my, that's good stuff. I never really got into Dayton Family, but I did have Bootleg's 1998 album with the No Future in Your Frontin remake. And I was into MC Breed. Speaking of ICP, I saw MC Breed at the Gathering of the Juggalos 2004. Wussup wit dat
Dayton Family is/was an actual street gang in Flint. they are another perfect example of the shit we were listening to and warping our brains with. I actually partied with them guys a couple times but not in their hood lol
Smokin on refer, and I know it would be cheaper, if I grew a batch of my oooowwn. Lol nice!
Ok, another that got skipped over....
Most of you are probably too young to remember these guys.
Kind of a mixture of Boyz 2 Men, Boyz in the Hood, and Michael Jackson, who happened to love all Boyz.
Ladies and gents I give you the Dirty ROtten Scoundrels.
http://youtu.be/5-eTgbV6XRE
Since no one will mention these guys....
I like to listen to this one when I'm taking hookers to the woods.
Kind of sets the mood.
http://youtu.be/qH9u0IPyTok
Ace VenturaED! You're gonna make me blow a gasket over here!! I mentioned ICP. NoWeakAces mentioned NWA. And DRS came out after most of this other stuff we've been talking about. Maybe you should do a little research before you hurl anymore of these ridiculous accusations! Keep it up and this very well may result in a freestyle battle.
I am white trash. I am a fuckin bum. I do live in a trailer with my mom. My boy future is an Uncle Tom.....
StevebI knew you were a Juggalo.
Lol, I was going to drop a little disclaimer stating that I was in no way, shape or form a juggalo, but I didnt. Hell, even a little no homo would have sufficed.
Ace VenturaSo that makes you a Jugga-Ho?
Nah man, more of a hugga Ho.
We all know I love my hoes.
Ace VenturaLol
How about one of the best collections of talent in the history of rap.
My vote is for d.i.t.c. ( diggin in the crates crew)

BONE THUGS N HARMONY
listening to them got me through good and bad times as a teen.
I was a teenager in the 90's and I spent most of the part of my life in NYC and another major city a stones throw away. So it wasn't just music to us. It was a movement that morphed into a culture. The momentum alone still drives a lot of my thinking and behavior patterns. Some of the shit I had to "unlearn" and reprogram my brain a little. Hip hop culture on the east coast was probably one of the most influential forces in my life early on. My crew were a melting pot of different races from a borderline neighborhood (small section of inner city that transitioned from one race to another. Where the racial lines blurred and blacks lived next door to Italians and Irish lived next door to Puerto Ricans who lived next door to Asians and so on). We used to pride ourselves on being at least partially responsible for kicking down racial barriers. I think my generation can claim that bragging right. In the east coast US anyway. So the best track ISNT going to happen. There is no best track. They are all great if they came from Pac or Big, Pun or Joe, Em or 50, Mobb Deep or Nas. But my hip hop education started with one person in particular. Maybe just a roll of the dice but it was a time when boys start transitioning from wanting to play football or madden to wanting to go crack on that biddy. We had a theme song that we would blast while leaving clubs or driving through the hood at 2am on our way to tear a dinner apart.

:)) I hear that my friend for me was , hanging under the L with a 55 gal barrow to keep warm , spinning , that and under the cross bronx
fucking old times .. everything was good sorry all the l is a above ground train in my neighborhood anyway
We are about the same age and I look back on them years and where we were in the rust belt once Gangster rap hit that was it. NWA, Geto Boys, Too Short, DJ Quick, Comptons most wanted, and Cypress Hill. Not a whole lot of the New York scene rap was that popular TBH. I don't know why that. We were violent assholes and I can see now driving around buzzed up listening to Geto Boys may have played a role,lol
StevebGeto Boys should have been more famous.
I liked Willie D. That dude had the most hilarious raps. Read these Nikes! Bald Headed Ho's! I still talk about leaving my whole motherfuckin logo on peoples foreheads,lol
You Gotta Let a Ho be a Ho. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlu6pQiRHwc
There are some good lessons in that song! lol
StevebGeto boys became more know after their music was on the movie Office space.
office space printer beatdown (and family guy version): http://youtu.be/PywI0BOxJpI
Yea, we were into them before Office space. But yea, they blew up after their second album.
StevebHow did the dwarf shoot himself in the eye and live? I mean how could a bullet go in there and not kill you?
Not to mention it was a little 22 short. If you had the gun pointed straight into your eye from the front it will likely kill you, bur from the sides you have quite a bit of chance for a non-lethal wound.
I knew a gangbanger when I was younger that literally had a 1/4 of his head missing. He blew it off with a 357. He still had both eyes though. On top of that I lived across the alley from another gang banger that actually had one eye shot out in a fight. So it happens more then you would think.
Tha gangsta of love lol
The original version. You remember they got sued and had to change it, the second version sucked.

Ace VenturaSarface did pretty well for himself.

The most underrated rapper of all time was big pun. His lyrics were crazy
"Dead in the middle of Little Italy little did we know that we riddled with some middlemen who didn't do diddily"
http://youtu.be/C-XJiiQft_Y
Was listening to Backspin on sirius on my way home from the gym. Another rapper I thought was pretty good but never seemed to catch on was Gang Starr.
Ace VenturaThey caught on as much as they wanted to I believe. I've been a fan of theirs since about 91-92 I'd say. Guru died a couple years ago though. Dj Premier has produced a lot of shit, including at least one track for Christina Aguilara. He just put out an album with Royce The 5'9"
Yeah I'd say they were actually pretty popular with their kind of crowd.
stunnerhrThe beatnuts, a tribe called quest and of course big L.
banging No escaping this on my nu mark tables and old ass mixer feeling like the shit
good times.
Rakim...
Ace VenturaOverrated. There, I said it.
When he really goes in on beat he's unstoppable but for me his flow never matched up with what he put out. Even in later days when he had more creative control he still never went full in on hard beats.
Look at Biggies soft tone over a mellow beat for example, then lyrically could switch in the blink of an eye to straight gangster and keep it rollin. Rakim had crazy flow, lyrics, occasional dope beat but for me it hardly ever clicked to take it up that elite notch. Individual styles I guess, no right or wrong.
I think 2pac is probably my favorite. His flow may not been as smooth as Biggie's, but every lyric was powerful and had some grit behind it. I think what's makes him one of the greatest is shit that he wrote almost 20 yrs ago is still relevant today. He was also very smart.
If you haven't already, watch his Vibe interview, and his last ever interview on tape. Both are on YouTube.
Currently I've been listening to
MGK
Lil Wayne
Gucci Mane
Tech n9ne
Jeezy
Wacka Flocka
One song that really gets me amped is Never Scared by Bone Crusher
