damn, locksmith has the whole package

[bayGIANTS]

after listening to we dont stunt a few times I was thinking about how he really has the whole package. there arent many rappers that have this, in fact off the top of my head I can really only think of one, eminem. I am sure there are others but that is all I can think of right now.

what i mean by this is he does everything well.
we all know he can freestyle with the best of them but he also has a good charasmatic style and he can write songs too. usually when someone has great freestyles, they cant write for shit or vice versa.

If you havent already, check out the frontline bootleg 2. I think he has the most potential to be a legitimate mainstream artist as long as he makes the right choices.

I cant fuckin wait for the new album!!

what song is that we dont stunt from , i dont think i heard that. I agree though, locksmith has one of the best if not the best lryical skills ive ever heard from the bay area.

If he makes the right buisness choices he has a chance of blowin up , the sad thing is though in this day in age to be mainstream you not only have to sound a certain way you have to LOOK a certain way. And since he is middle eastern alot of people will hate on that , its sad but its the truth.

i agree that the total package is eminem, BUT to me the total package is defined by rapping/freestyling/writing and PRODUCING. eminem obviously is very skilled in all of those areas.

since i havent heard any of locksmith's production (if he does produce), i would be hesitant to call him the total package.

the rapping/freestyling/writing part tho, i would have to agree with chuck.

Majors

Did Locksmith get any kinda of offers from major labels after that MTV contest?

 

[bayGIANTS]

nick, I was speaking in his skills as a rapper. I dont agree that production goes with rapping skills. I think they are two diefferent aspects of hip hop. It is just a bonus that eminem can produce.

bay dezinz- I realize that many people will hate on the fact that he is part middle eastern, but he is by no means an ugly dude. I wouldnt say that I am at all a good judge of male looks, but I think his look is good too.

 

[bayGIANTS]

....Just stopped by to mention that i'm overjoyed to to see that Eminem is now the official measuring stick in hip-hop...its good to hear. {/facetious}

I knew there would be someone that was gonna bring it up and really anyone that thinks he doesnt have skills is nothing but a Hater, racist, and/or total idiot.

eminem obviously aint a measuring stick, and he definitly aint the best at anything he does. but he is great at everything he does and is better at more things than pretty much everyone else.

is there anyone that you can honestly say raps,writes, and freestlyes better than him. I am sure you couldnt name 5 that are undoubtedly better

agree 100% the two are totally separate

bay dezinz- I realize that many people will hate on the fact that he is part middle eastern, but he is by no means an ugly dude. I wouldnt say that I am at all a good judge of male looks, but I think his look is good too. .[/B]

i think his look is kinda like baby bash. the people who will hate on him because he's light skinned or whatever probably dont buy music anyway. he looks like a light skinned black dude, i don't think there's really anyway to tell that he's middle eastern unless somebpdy tells you. Doesn't seem to me that that would be a problem. Maybe if he was a gangsta rapper or something... maybe. but it seems to me that his look is cool. he looks young & confident- thats all you can ask.

 

[Locksmith]

Good lookin yall. Im just tryin to do my thing and rep the the Bay. Me and Left (The Frontline) been in the studio workin hard, the album "WHO R U?" should be out late '03 or early 04. And as far as the image thing goes I'm half Black and Persian, but good music is good music. We just try to let it speak for itself.

Oh yeah, We have a new single on KMEL called "What Is It?" featuring E-A-Ski. Call in and request it. 1 800 955-KMEL.

PEACE

Locksmith is a sick MC but an even better rapper!

 

[RealRich]

YALL MADE ME A FAN

Damn Lock, man I got that Frontline Bootlegg 2 shit...and it's off the hook! You and ya boy got skills. If yall ain't got it find it, it's the best mixtape I have heard out of the Bay...hell period. I see yall got an album comin out, as a fan do me a favor do what yall do. I like the radio shit yall be doin and I luv when yall niggas just go dumb and kill the track.

GOOD SHIT!

anyone that thinks he doesnt have skills is nothing but a Hater, racist, and/or total idiot.

I agree 100%, definitely..
I also think he IS the measuring stick in rap. He can do everything. And to those who say he only raps about "gay stuff" or "the same shit every time" are just digging for the hardest excuses they possibly can.
I havent even listened to him in a long time and i dont jock him.... but im educated enough about rap to know how big his name is and how big it will always be...

 

[SCOCIOUS]

that "What Is It" is the knock!!

 

[jay deuce]

Can anyone post audio for What Is It?

 

[RealRich]

Locksmith said on another post to call up to KMEL and request it. If we all rally behind mothafuckas that we like that actually get the chance to get they shit played on KMEL then we in way will be takin the "peoples station" back. I said it before I got that Bootlegg2, SLAP!! I heard that "WE DON'T STUNT" man, I'm sayin between Locksmith and Left you name a better two man group in the game right now? "What Is It" is the shit and these dudes are stright out the bay! I don't wanna seem like I'm on they dick or somthin, but man this is the Bay's chance to show the industry that we got niggas that can compete all-out wit the Eminems and Jay-Z's in the game. These dudes can open the game up for the Bay and all they gotta do is put out a HOT ASS ALBUM! Lock or Left if you are readin this shit TAKE YOUR TIME AND PUT OUT A HOT ASS ALBUM!
