Is this true? I'd never really heard any of this. I remember him from Stetsasonic and 3 feet high (one of my favorite all-time albums). The first horrocore I remember was Ghetto Boys - my minds playing tricks on me. That was '91. I just remember the Bushwick Bill line "I chopped her up until her guts were like spaghetti". There probably were horror raps before then, but I don't remember them.

kinda....prince paul was a member of Gravediggaz, with rza, too poetic & frukwan....that was horrorcore, and one of the first horrorcore albums put out (at least commercially)......although kool keith kinda fathered the style, along with many others.....I wouldn't say geto boys are horrorcore tho....

word @ the guy who brought up Ego Trip
just doing my job
I think this show is fucking brilliant. It is BOTH making fun of different aspects of hip hop while keeping it real at the same time.
The aim is to point out that, yes, there are hordes of teeny-bopper, suburban, white rappers who claim they are "hip hop" while, at the same time, they are fucking CLUELESS about its roots and aboutwhere it came from.
I mean hello...fucking G-Child! her biggest hip hop influence is Vanilla Ice...the fucking ANTITHESIS of hip hop (and a person who was dissed for it by the show's host).
Many of the show's contestents couldn't name any of the damn hip hop songs that were played during the last episode's challenge!
I think for the most part they don't know....but the game show did show that some of them knew their shit....like john brown (suprisingly)....even tho he didn't win cuz he said krs instead of bdp....but that was all based on selection.....I could've picked classics that people wouldn't recognize or pick obvious shit.....and 3 songs? thats kinda bullshit...
The bigger girl Persia claims to be hip hop and dropped the N*Bomb like it was nothing
"dropping the N*Bomb" has nothing to do with being or not being hip hop. it just goes to show the intelligence level of those who chose to use the word
Dasit was toured the Boogie Down Bronx, met Grandmaster fucking Flash, and yet couldn't write a verse about his experience.
his response on the web was that they were only allowed to kick 4 bars to each person they met, and he only writes to beats.....:ermm: if you are skilled at your craft you should be able to write a 16 about it....but he also went on about what an honor it was to meet flash and how he couldn't imagine putting the experience in words.....or someshit like that, there's a thread about it somewhere on here
COME ON! These clowns will be exposed and the white kids on the show who are hip hop (or who are closer to it than the others) should come out on top. Dasit...EXPOSED and now he's gone. Persia...PUT IN HER PLACE when she had to wear the N*Word necklace...it started to sink in just how clueless she was and she actually felt embarassed. John "King of da Burbz" Brown is supposed to get put in his place by Lord Jamar because of his "ghetto revival" bullshit...I can't fucking WAIT for that.
lol...."why would you want to revive the ghetto?"
HOWEVER...some of those kids do have talent. Persia, Sullee, and John Brown are all fairly nice...but even then, they aren't as hip hop as they think they are and this whole show will be a learning experience for them and others like them on the show (while we laugh at their expense) as well as a learning experience for viewer. I wonder how many white suburban kids felt dumb after not knowing any of the songs they playedi n the last show's challenge? or how many learned for the first time who Grandmaster Caz or Kurtis Blow was...
If done right, this show could teach the kiddies a thing or two and I think it will as long as they keep bringing up issues about race, class, and hip hop's history
I think they definetly got skills, along with paul walls cousin.....I forget his name, but the dood with the grill & busted lip is nice too. I can't wait to hear the shit those 4 come out with, especially if prince paul has some kind of input.....someone posted john browns myspace, and his beats were actually coo too
halleluja! holla back! lmao....
