Do you guys write and then find the beat, or find a beat and write to it? I write in advance most of the time, and about 80% of the time, to no beat at all.

Makes it that much easier to track something down later.

Im always writing. ALWAYS. I sit at my pc, do homework, dig thru pornsites, and write to whoever or whatever I can. Mixtape shit, "freestyles", whole songs, throw-away verses, the works. So it makes the song creatin process a lil easier for me. I can dig thru the files and see what fits or I can write from scratch.

If I get a beat that I feel needs immediate attention, I'll probly write from scratch. A lot of niccas like that shit cause I write nice shit in a short period of time. It's also a crutch. But I dont mind writing around a beat either, cause sometimes, you hook up with someone from online and they wanna hear your spices over they meat, so they shoot you bounced down tracks. I work with it.

I had writers block back in '98 and aint had it since.

*FYI, I started rappin in '99.

Some beats I have to write to, period. Some I can just lay down whatever on. But I find more comfort with a beat in my ear because I can present more emotion that way and really master that specific beat in a way. Writing bars is one thing, writing a song is completely different.

But yeah I probably spend about 30 minutes a day writing. And then probably about another 30-45 minutes just freestyling to instrumentals.

I spend about 85 seconds a day freestyling, and about 5 minutes a week writing. Nothing has really sparked my interest since the Smack DVD battles. Once i watched them, I realized how futile this shit really is.

Only way I'll start full-time again, if I hear a NorthWest rapper that I think can write better than me. And honestly.....I still ain't heard it yet.

Check out the Jae Millz vs Murda Mook battle



If you listen to that, and HONESTLY BELIEVE that there is ANY rapper in the NorthWest that can rap better than EITHER of those two.....I swear to JESUS....i think you're retarded and don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

Again...SWEAR TO JESUS. Certified retard status if you even ATTEMPT to name someone.

^^ Yes. Yes there is a way, and you being a rapper, you should know it already. I repeat: there is NO RAPPERS in the NorthWest that are better. It's really not happening.

And Chino would die. In the first place Chino don't even battle no more. Ras Kass would REALLY get fucked up, I can't believe you even mentioned either of them.


I mean, is this supposed to be jokes or something? Fuckin around just to be fuckin around? Level with me here.

jae millz ? well ras kass or chino would chew that dude up but there not from the nw
Chino Xl (that's who I'm guessing you mean) is from East Orange, New Jersey...not the west coast at all...you are way off with that one. He couldn't touch either Jae or Mook in a battle anyways. Chino does have skills though.

Ras Kass is dope as fuck and is one of my favorite artists out. He can freestyle his ass off...but...there is no way in hell he would "chew up" either Murda Mook or Jae Millz in a battle. He would have a better chance then Chino XL...but it still wouldn't even be close.
He could easily keep up with them on a just plain freestyle tip though.

As much as I hate to say it...I agree with Tadou on this one.

^^^ Okay I got you now. Just seeing that Tadou asked for NW artist and then you spit out Ras Kass and Chino XL I thought maybe you that he was from the west coast (for some odd reason a lot of people do think that.)

Both them dudes albums been pushed back more then once. They tight with them battles but mook hasn't droped one thing I liked. Millz singles all where garbage even his cuts on mixtapes was garbage. If you didnt know most battle rappers is what they is battle rappers. Nine times out of ten if you buy one of there albums its going to be garbage. Cassidy even has a hard time doing good numbers and he is a battle rapper that puts out okay albums.


The northwest has cats that can do way better then both then dudes. There no bigger then 151 and U.A. You look at things the wrong way fam you really do. The northwest is going to blow without having to battle all dame day. All I can say is I hope most of yall dont give up and stick wit it. Cause the time will come for the northwest to be on top and I promise that.
