I'm a fan of Tech N9ne, although his new album a bit disappointing. Although In The Trunk still gets plays from me because it makes me laugh.

Sounds familiar to what I've been through before. As for you being over this site. I am as well. I'm only here for this crew and that's about it. It's my only link back to this site since many of the people that made this site worth going to ain't here no more. Plus I mod on a Bone Thugs N Harmony's official fan site. Where you can get all the cuts left off of albums and so on for free. As for health, I haven't seen a doctor in 5 years. Plus I've had grey hair since I was 16, I'm 22. Hopefully you get well soon.

I'm no fan of Kanye, although Eminem ok. Check out his album Infinite. In my opinion, that's his best work. As for joining. Name your top 5 favorite rappers and albums and you're in.

My favorite rappers are Eminem, Snoop Dogg, 2pac, BIG, Big L, Eazy-E, Outkast, Dr. Dre, Jay-Z, and Nas.

Best album I've ever heard has to be The Marshall Mathers LP.

Favorite Hip Hop song at the moment is "Kill You" by Eminem.

TheBoneThug is MattTheParanoidKat. He's had that name for a good two years. I remember when he changed it to SystemOfAThug. This right here does a have a meaning though. It keeps some of the members here who have gotten tired of the rest of the site a reason to come back for the most part. The Rap Crew is what keeps me here. And for others that have been here longer than me. It's thought to be the same. A reason for them to keep coming back.

Restoring Poetry In Music
In Love In Lust & A Quiet Taste & Poetry Bum

Enjoy. For further tracks, there's youtube. Between Panacea and RPM. I got all their albums. Both groups are so damn good.

At 10/14/09 10:28 PM, Shy2Authentik wrote: Wow dude Panacea is pretty dope! Is that you or a friend? Or someone you discovered?

He's an underground artist from Washington. He's Raw Poetic. He's also apart of the another group, I'll show you that group tomorrow. You'll hear me and my work later. I'm currently working on some.

To keep your mind off mediocre artists. Check this group out and tell me what you think.

Panacea - Birdfeather & Limitless Page

Hip-Hop like it's meant to be. Refreshing with a message. Enjoy.

I nothing Drake so that's pretty much my stance on him

Welcome to the Crew. Since you like those artists. I'm definitely sure you'd like Restoring Poetry In Music (RPM).

My favorite artist by far is Lupe Fiasco.

I'm pretty open to any artist who at least looks like they put effort into making great music.

If you can name 4 for of your favorite artists and perhaps albums then you are in. If you don't have anymore favorites then I can suggest a few to check out.

When the last Wu album came out. Raekwon and Ghostface Killah were vocal about not liking the production. That and Ghostface sued RZA over fees of the past.

We start with a album full of covers of Avril songs, and then a tour France with the Backstreet Boys. We are sure to make an impact!

I remember at one point this group was cool with The Rap Crew and The Anime Club I think. I forget who we had the most problems with, other than spammers. But that was then.

While I was never big on that group since I'm more of a Midwest, and West Coast listener I find myself only interested in their first album. Their other stuff is fine though.

Since I joined back in 05 nearly exactly 1,200+ pages ago followed but by my waning interest NG. And most of the fun times I had back then were here. It's considered old school to me. I remember Joic, -Rocketman-, and mrtrivia. As well as Charlotte. For me though, when I showed up, the regs here were Speedy1234 who is now just Speedy. Droopy, BigLundi, IrishPimp, TheBoneThug, Blinkybabe every now and then, Joic, Redviolator, Ocelot, and very much Blinkybabe, SDG.

Obviously Method Man and ODB hold a special place in my musical heart, and RZA is my favorite hip-hop producer, but my favorite all around member.... Hmmm... Probably GZA, "Liquid Swords" is awesome.

ODB may be facing up to 4 years in prison due to Tax Fraud. Other than that, Inspecta Deck and Masta Killa are my favorite members.

Just the way he enters in the song Protect Ya Neck is enough to get me hooked.

I heard that members Ghostface, Raekwon, Inspecta Deck and Masta Killa are making an album without RZA on production. Should be good.

I only like Wu-Tang and the crew not Lil' Wayne or anything such as that.

Who's your favorite Wu member? Mine is a toss up between Inspecta Deck and Masta Killa.

Its not a real genre, but his lyrics are often so brutal and satanic that its compareable with death metal, and i don't think any other rapper has equally as violent lyrics, so he needed to call it something else than horrorcore.
Also he often has musicians from metal bands as guests in his songs.

Necro didn't invent Death Rap. It was there before him. Gravediggaz and Three 6 Mafia beat him to the punch years ago followed up by Esham.

That's what they are. The last real Monarchies with any power used to be Russia and France.

Please do. I know how their system work. As them being figureheads. But that's the system. They still have Monarchies by definition. For Japan, especially. Especially back in the Meiji Era of the country. There was no Prime Minister to make decisions. It was the Shoguns.

far as Iran goes, they're a shining example of why a theocracy is not a good thing.

Italy and America has bouts of Theocracy to certain extent. Italy has the Pope. While America has it's bouts with the Holier Than Thou Syndrome that nearly killed off the Republican Party. The use of Religion and Belief to get elected. It's a colorful mix. As I said before, every country has it's forms of Democracy as earlier pointed out. Although some delve in others. Especially since Nepotism is a trait shared by almost all countries. Simple.

At 9/23/09 12:30 AM, animehater wrote: Is democracy right for you? If so why only you and not others? Is it because they're poorer and not as privileged as yourself that they are somehow incapable of thinking for themselves?

How hard is it to understand? Democracy doesn't always work out for nations, especially if they are being forced into it. You have Nations that fall under Theocracies, and Monarchies. They are able to think for themselves, for the most part. Minus a few freedoms here and there that American's have. England seems to being doing fine under a Monarch followed by Japan. Iran also seems to be doing fine, granted inner turmoil. What they call Democracy they got from the States. Having been there before in the 50's. I believe.

Each nation I suppose has Democracy, you just have to remember how each Nation plays the term, Whether it's under Authoritarian Rule, Monarch, or a Theocracy. Simple.

Winning is pointless when it comes to this topic. Because even after, what the hell do you have to show for it except for the fact that our resources are tapped. If anything for the people that stay glued to these topics. One of the goals of this "War" on the other side was to do just that. To keep spending money on something that will more than likely turn into a stalemate later.

No matter was the US is trying to do over there, is moot now. Especially since all attention has been diverted elsewhere since 2003. That wasn't a smart move since the troops that were there were underutilized then. Now that attention has shifted back six years later with these two wars tapping resources and life as expected. No one wins this. It's going to end like the Korean War did. Bloody stalemate. A nation can never win against man's Religion and belief. It took 4 or 5 nations to figure that out that hard way. Oh well, whatever. Not like anyone really pay's attention to history since it keeps repeating itself.

I think this should be enough. There are still many artists I haven't labeled yet. The thing about me is that I listen to artists from every coast, as well as foreign Hip-Hop. Japanese/Korean Hip-Hop is some of the best out, but that's just my opinion.
