Rakim_Interview

...i don't know where this french bitch gets the nerve to fix his lips and butt in to Ra's points like that...Ra shoulda bitch slapped him like, "you know who the fuck you talking to?"...

 

[thatguy]

there is no point arguing this in here, too many em fans for that, i can talk and talk and talk, you wont get it, but i dont care what you say, from writin shit like rock bottum and still dont give a fuck, and writen shit like infinite and 313, to writin the shit he does now, i see a pretty good sized change in the formula, fuck it though

I completely agree.

 

[thatguy]

Oh yeah, this is Eminem baby, back up in that motherfucking ass
One time for your mother fucking mind, we represent the 313
You know what I'm saying?, cause they don't know shit about this
For the 9-6

[Verse 1]
Ayo, my pen and paper cause a chain reaction
To get your brain relaxin, a zany actin maniac in action
A brainiac in fact son, you mainly lack attraction
You look insanely wack when just a fraction of my tracks run
My rhyming skills got you climbing hills
I travel through your mind into your spine like siren drills
I'm sliming grills of roaches, with spray that disinfects
And twisting necks of rappers 'til their spinal column disconnects
Put this in decks and check the monologue, turn your system up
Twist 'em up, and indulge in the marijuana smog
This is the season for noise pollution contamination
Examination of more cartoons than animation
My lamination of narration
Hits the snare and bass in a track for duck rapper interrogation
When I declare invasion, there ain't no time to be staring, gazing
I turn the stage into a barren wasteland...
I'm Infinite

[Chorus]
You heard of hell well I was sent from it
I went to it servin a sentence for murdering instruments
Now I'm trying to repent from it
But when I hear the beat I'm tempted to make another attempt at it...
I'm Infinite

{*scratches "time" and "is money"*}

[Verse 2]
Bust it, I let the beat commence so I can beat the sense in your elite
defense
I got some meat to mince, a crew to stomp, and then two feet to rinse
I greet the gents and ladies, I spoil loyal fans
I foil plans and leave fluids leaking like oil bands
My coiled hands around this microphone are lethal
One thought in my cerebral is deeper then a Jeep full of people
MC's are feeble, I came to cause some pandemonium
Battle a band of phony MC's and stand a lonely one
Imitator, Intimidator, Stimulator, Simulator of data, Eliminator
There's never been a greater since the burial of Jesus
Fuck around and catch all the venereal diseases
My thesis will smash a stereo to pieces
My a cappella releases classic masterpieces through telekinesis
That eases you mentally, gently, sentimentally, instrumentally
With entity, dementedly meant to be Infinite

[Chorus]
You heard of hell well I was sent from it
I went to it servin a sentence for murdering instruments
Now I'm trying to repent from it
But when I hear the beat I'm tempted to make another attempt at it...
I'm Infinite

{*scratches "time" and "is money"*}

[Verse 3]
Man I got evidence I'm never dense and I been clever ever since
My residence was hesitant to do some shit that represents the M-O
So I'm assuming all responsibility
Cause there's a monster will in me that always wants to kill MC's
Mic Nestler, slamming like a wrestler
Here to make a mess of a lyric smuggling embezzler
No one is specialer, my skill is intergalactical
I get cynical, act a fool, then I send a crew back to school
I never packed a tool or acted cool, it wasn't practical
I'd rather led a tactical, tactful track tickle your fancy
In fact I can't see, or can't imagine
A man who ain't a lover of beats or a fan of scratching
So this is for my family, the kid who had a cammy on my last jam
Plus the man who never had a plan B
Be all you can be, cause once you make an instant hit
I'm tensed a bit and tempted when I see the sins my friends commit...
I'm Infinite

[Chorus]
You heard of hell well I was sent from it
I went to it servin a sentence for murdering instruments
Now I'm trying to repent from it
But when I hear the beat I'm tempted to make another attempt at it...
I'm Infinite
You heard of hell well I was sent from it
I went to it servin a sentence for murdering instruments
Now I'm trying to repent from it
But when I hear the beat I'm tempted to make another attempt at it...
I'm Infinite

95...96...and on and on....



here is the lyrics to the self titled track, from his cd he made before meeting dre, now tell me the formula never changed wise ass, yur speaking to a guy that used to be an eminem fan till he sold out, i know everything you know about him and more, so your not winning at this arguement. ill even post the fuckin song for you

[thatguy]

A-yo!
This song is dedicated to all the happy people
All the happy people who have real nice lives
And who have no idea whats it like to be broke as fuck

[Verse One:]

I feel like I'm walking a tight rope, without a circus net
I'm popping perkasets, I'm a nervous wreck
I deserve respect; but I work a sweat for this worthless check
Bout to burst this tech, at somebody to reverse this debt
Minimum wage got my adrenaline caged
Full of venom and rage
Especially when I'm engaged
And my daughter's down to her last diaper
That's got my ass hyper
I pray that god answers, maybe I'll ask nicer
Watching ballers while they flossing in their pathfinders
These overnight stars becoming autograph signers
We'll all gone blow up and leave the past behind us
Along with the small fry's and average half pinters
While playa haters turn bitch like they have vaginas
Cause we see them dollar signs and let the cash blind us
Money will brainwash you and leave your ass mindless
Snakes slither in the grass spineless

[Chorus: repeat 2X]

That's Rock Bottom
When this life makes you mad enough to kill
That's Rock Bottom
When you want something bad enough you'll steal
That's Rock Bottom
When you feel you have had it up to here
Cause you mad enough to scream but you sad enough to tear

[Verse Two:]

My life is full of empty promises
And broken dreams
I'm hoping things will look up
But there ain't no job openings
I feel discouraged hungry and malnourished
Living in this house with no furnace, unfurnished
And I'm sick of working dead end jobs with lame pay
And I'm tired of being hired and fired the same day
But fuck it, if you know the rules to the game play
Cause when we die we know were all going the same way
It's cool to be player, but it sucks to be the fan
When all you need is bucks to be the man
Plus a luxury sedan
Too comfortable and roomy in a six
They threw me in the mix
With all these gloomy lunatics
Walk around depressed
And smoke a pound of ses a day
And yesterday went by so quick it seems like it was just today
My daughter wants to throw the ball but I'm too stressed to play
Live half my life and throw the rest away

[Chorus]

There's people that love me and people that hate me
But it's the evil that made me this backstabbing, deceitful, and shady
I want the money, the women, the fortune, and the fame
That Means I'll end up burning in hell scorching in flames
That means I'm stealing your checkbook and forging your name
Lifetime bliss for eternal torture and pain
Right now I feel like just hit the rock bottom
I got problems now everybody on my blocks got 'em
I'm screaming like those two cops when 2pac shot 'em
Holding two glocks, I hope your doors got new locks on 'em
My daughter's feet ain't got no shoes or sock's on 'em
And them rings you wearing look like they got a few rocks on 'em
And while you flaunting them I could be taking them to shops to pawn them
I got a couple of rings and a brand new watch you want 'em?
Cause I never went gold of one song
I'm running up on someone's lawns with guns drawn

[Chorus]



http://s29.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=36Y7FZ12XC4RS0RXSZ6CS5NTZZ



here is a change in the formula already, not saying this is a bad one, i just feel like proving you wrong for now

 

[thatguy]

[Chorus]
The way you shake it, I can't believe it
I ain't never seen an ass like that
The way you move it, you make my pee pee go
Doing, doing, doing

I don't believe it, it's almost too good to be true
I ain't never seen an ass like that
The way you move it, you make my pee pee go
Doing, doing, doing

The way she moves she's like a belly dancer
She's shaking that ass to that new nelly jam, I
Think someones at the door
But I don't think I'm gonna answer
Police saying "freeze"
Doing, doing, doing
What do you mean freeze?
Please, I'm a human being, I have needs
I'm not done, not till I'm finish peeing
I am not resisting arrest, I am agreeing Mr. Officer
I'm already on my knees
I can't get on the ground any further, it's impossible for me
And do not treat me like a murderer, I just like to pee, pee, pee
Yes, I make r&b, I sing song it go
Ring-a-chong, a-ching-chong-chong-chong-ching
Psych, I joke, I joke, I kidd, I kidd
If I offend I'm sorry, please, please forgive
For I am Triumph, the puppet dog, I am a mere puppet
I can get away with anything I sing, you will love it

[Chorus]

Jessica Simpson, looks oh so temptin'
Nick I ain't never seen an ass like that
Everytime I see that show on MTV my pee pee goes
Doing, doing, doing

Mary-Kate and Ashley used to be so wholesome
Now they're getting older, they're starting to grow bum bums
I go to the movies and sit down with my pop corn
Police saying "freeze"
Doing doing doing
What do you mean freeze?
Geez, I just got my seat
I have ticket, look, I put away my zipper zipped
Please do not remove me from this movie theater please
I did not even get to see Mary-Kate shower scene
I didn't mean to be obscene or make a great big scene
And don't treat me like I'm pee wee herman, this movies PG
Mr. Officer, I demand to see my attorney
I will simply plead innocent, cop a plea and be free
Free, yes, free, right back on the streets
What you mean my lawyer's with Michael, he's too busy?
I am Triumph, Britney Spears has shoulders like a man
And I can say that and you'll laugh cuz that is a puppet on my hand

[Chorus]

Hilary Duff is not quite old enough so
I ain't never seen a butt like that
Maybe next year I'll say ass and she'll make my pee pee go
Doing, doing, doing

The way she moves she dances like a go-go
In that video she sings get out your bozo
I need a new boyfriend, hi my name is JoJo
Police saying "freeze"
Doing, doing, doing
What do you mean freeze?
My computers would be seized and my keys to my ranch
I just baked cookies Mr. Officer, looky, take a whiff of these
Here, I make Jesus juice, take a sip of this
Nobody is safe from me, no not even me
I don't even know if I can say the word pee pee, pee
On the radio, but I think I did
Janet, is that a breast, I think I just saw a tit
Psych, I joke, I joke, I kidd, I kidd
I don't think my joke is working, I must flee quick
Get to the chopper, everybody get out
I am not Triumph, I am Arnold, get down

[Chorus]

So Gwen Stefani, will you pee pee on me please?
I ain't never seen an ass like that
Cuz the way you move it, you make my pee pee go
Doing, doing, doing

What the fuck is wrong with you? (ha!)


this is the biggest change in the formula, this is selling out in the truest sence

[8FIVE8]

stop hatin on Em.

Tha muthafucker is tight. Let him make his money. I think he is the still the tightest mc/rapper out there. If anyone comes close its Ras Kass or Kam. If he wanted to prove that he could spit hot fire like Dylan he would BUT tha game isnt all about that no more. Its all about how much drugs u sold and what kind of guns u got and how many bitches u can get on tha dance floor. Eminem would tear apart all your favorite rappers in one verse with no hooks. Name 1 Mc that could realistically take him out.

 

[thatguy]

sure he rips alotta people with lyrical complexity, but i can name prolly a hundred rappers that make better songs, better hooks, better concepts, better flow, better perspective on things. if you wanna include all these elements, then ill make u a big list, and post a couple songs to prove my statements.

 

[MOREBASS]

^^ Better concepts ?? ^^

You ever heard Stan, or The Way I Am...I mean...I agree...he doesn't have the best hooks...but concepts...he's lightyears ahead of your favorite rapper man. And theres not a lot of songwriters in Hip-Hop better than Em.

I dont know if you've seen Beef but it has Krs One sayin he writes a battle rap for everyone in Billboards top 20 every year that will destroy their career. I would like to see what he has written for em.

you keep sayin that but you dont know my favorite rapper, second, yur sayin the same shit as me pretty much, i said his new shit has bad concepts, you named shit from his first 2 major realeses

 

[UsA'sMostWanted]

^^^^No.




em was sicc when he had is own style, but when he used chino xl's on his second album on aftermath, he lost my respect....the first album was alright, i admit i burnt me a copy cuz he sounded like he did in the song off SWAY & TECH and DJ revolution's "THE ANTHEM"....but for real, dont be talking about he's got production skills....dont forget he fucked up LOYAL TO DA GAME

 

[thatguy]

x raided would eat eminem up i think

 

[MOREBASS]

^^^ Apples and oranges man...X-Raided is a rapper...Em is an Emcee...big difference. Shows how much YOU know.

 

[BzNutz]

good collab lol^^

 

[D-Locc60]

Now he seems like he aint even trying. . .writes his rhymez while in traffic or while he brushes his teeth.

that is sign of skill, not lacc of

 

[thatguy]

^ not really, what hes sayin is that now days there is no thought put into his shit, its just all freestyles it seems

 

[Hovy]

I found this online at yahoo....

"Even if he calls it quits, he's firmly asserted himself as the best-selling rap artist ever. All his albums, including the 8 Mile soundtrack and both D12 releases, debuted at number one, except for his '99 debut, The Slim Shady LP, which opened at three and peaked at two. The Marshall Mathers LP currently holds the record for first-week sales by a solo artist, moving more than 1.76 million copies in its 2000 debut. Eminem has earned an Oscar, nine Grammys and sold over 65 million combined albums worldwide".

I got to say dam 65 million albums worldwide.....what other rappers can say that??? Much respect and no hate, bottom line is the man can sell albums.

Orignally posted by ThatGuy no my friend, you trippin, i was playin on rakims words man, chill. and as far as only needing flow, wtf, yur fuckin stupid, yur sayin a guy can make a song about absolute garbage, but have a tight ass flow, and youll think its a hard track. you cant even call yurself a rap fan. call yurself a flow fan from now on, it fits you better.

Isn't that what rap is all about? The flow and the lyrics. Doesn't matter what he's rappin about. What do you mean by hard track? wtf... we aren't talkin about gangster rappers. The fact is...Eminem is a great MC with a great flow.

Orignally posted by ThatGuy He aint the closest thing to a "real artist"

People are talkin about how em fell off. The man stopped what he was doin to work with D12. He kept it real by helping D12 get there shine on. Remember those D12 videos?

Orignally posted by ThatGuy but he sold out, that aint real

Like i said uptop. If he sold out. He would of said fuck D12. But he didnt. He layed low and tried to get D12 face in the game.
