[DemocratSinceBirth]

[DS1]

1. Ice tea, Ice cube, flava flav, all I need is a Paper Cup

;-)

[Malebolgia]

2. Method Man, aka "Blaze"

[ET Awful]

M E T H O D man M E T H O D man

Hey you get off my cloud
you don't know me and you don't know my style.

[helnwhls]

3. the early years dope smoking snoop

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. yeah

snoop and ice cube have been mainstreamed...

which ain't such a bad thing....

[DemocratSinceBirth]

4. I Chose Ice Cube Since He Seems The Most Mellow..

He's alot different from his NWA days..

[jdots]

5. M.C. Bertha and Shecky from 2 live jews are not on the list

[Califooyah Operative]

7. noreaga, kanye west, krs one, mos def, lil flip before he got rich

[ET Awful]

8. I'd have to say Boots from the Coup

along with DJ Pam and E-Roc.

That's some righteous revolutionary shit :).

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. Public Enemy Was A Great Political Rap Band...

I saw them in concert back in 1990...

[Califooyah Operative]

11. hell yea, but flava flav makes a fool of himself on that vhi show

my sister watches it.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. yes...

but even in the day he was the "clown" in the group...

Chuck D was the serious one...

[Califooyah Operative]

24. i agree there, but from what i hear blastin from the living room

he sounds at war with himself on whether he even wants to be flava flav, which is pretty much just an image,

[DemocratSinceBirth]

25. I Just Remember The Big Clock He Wore...

He practically started a riot when I saw him in concert.....

About what I can't remember now....

[Califooyah Operative]

28. yep, public enemy inspired a lot of people,

im kind of embarassed to say i wore a clock once back in middle school.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

29. P E And NWA Were Probably The Most Inmfluental Rap Bands

nt

[Califooyah Operative]

31. yep but i'd put Krs-one in there too, the older the better.

boogie down productions - ghetto music (the blueprint of hip-hop)

[ET Awful]

13. Yeah, but PE was a totally different style . . . the Coup are totally

funked up :). Just some super mellow west coast funk from Oakland.

Presto, read the Communist Manifesto
Guerillas in the Mist, a Guevara named Ernesto, so
(E-Roc: What a brother with a afro know?)
Yo, go and flow for the mack and be the hoe
so grow cause the lynchin brothers might get hung
Better rip flowin from the tip of my Mao Tse Tsung
Deficit (money spent) catch the glint
(E-Roc: of my nine as they cut welfare twenty-five percent)
And I dissent, as I clench and raise my fist
(We did away with, that) so you could get with this
Here's a twist cause we'll overthrow like Kwame N'Krumah
Spread around the wealth as if it were a, vicious rumor
Pam, cuts a record like a surgeon cuts a tumor from a brain
(E-Roc: We're all cooped up so feel the pain)
from four hundred years of exploitation
Anesthesia provided by your local TV station
Patience is not a virtue (I ain't waitin)
Turn this shit over like Bush did a boatload of Haitians

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. P E Had Great Political Songs

like Burn Hollywood Burn

Fear Of A Black Planet


Fight The Power


Pollywannacracka


et cetera...

[ET Awful]

18. No doubt, but they were a little too in your face . . . The Coup

have a super funky laid back groove :) I just like their style better.

PE had too much bullshit with Professor Grif and all.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. Don't Remember The Coup...

nt

[ET Awful]

26. That's because they weren't mainstream :)

They're still around, have been since 1992 or so, they're the ones who had the album cover that was designed prior to 9/11 that had the twin towers blowing up, and they had to delay the release of the new album and redo the cover art.

The Coup is real hip-hop at it's finest.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

27. I Discovered P E Watching Do The Right Thing...

They did a lot of stuff for Spike Lee's movies...

[ET Awful]

32. I first heard them on a bootleg mix tape :)

I can't remember when exactly.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

48. Yo ET - you familiar with Spearhead?

I think you'd like them and their MC Michael Franti.

[tjdee]

10. Hang out as in fun, or hang out as in kissing?

:silly:

I voted for Eminem before I was sure.

Busta Rhymes seems like a fun guy--if I were bored on a Saturday night I'd call him up. And Method too.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. Hang Out...

If I meant make out my choice would have been different like Lil Kim, Missy Elliott, Queen Latifah, et cetera....

[tjdee]

16. I noticed that after I voted, LOL.

:)

[DrWeird]

17. Snoop.

I think he's still got it. And he's making something of a come back.

The only reason his music has mellowed is because it's part of his parole. IMHO.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. The Old Stuff

Gin and Juice...


"Got my mind on my money and my money on my mind"


Also, his signature song is great...


As far as acting I like Ice Cube's work...

His Doughboy character in Boyz In The Hood was great...

The scene of him being arrested as a kid while Ooh Ooh Child plays in the background still stays in my minds...

In fact, of the genre I think Boyz In The Hood is the best and everything John Singleton did after it while entertaining didn't match up- Poetic Justice and Baby Boy though I liked Vin Rhames character in it...

[Rabrrrrrr]

19. Whichever ones dies first

[DemocratSinceBirth]

21. Why

Rappers killing rappers is peurile...


I remember when the whole East Coast-West Coast thing was going on and Howard Stern offered to mediate...

[Forkboy]

23. Paris

[tishaLA]

35. I hadn't thought about him since

1992 I think.

Blast from the past

[Forkboy]

36. For some reason Bush Killa still sounds reasonable

:)

[screwfacecapone]

39. sonic jihad

you guys need to pick up paris's sonic jihad. It came out last year, but it's still got some hard tracks.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

30. Michael Franti!!!

[buddhamama]

63. yeah, Michael Franti

from the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy

Language of Violence (partial lyrics)

The first day of school was always the hardest
The first day of school, the hallways the darkest
Like a gauntlet
the voices haunted
Walking in with his thin skin, lowered chin
He knew the names that they would taunt him with
Faggot, sissy, punk, queen, queer
Although he'd never had sex in his 15 years
And when they harassed him it was for a reason
And when they provoked him it became open season
for the fox and the hunter, the sparks and the thunder
that pushed the boy under, then pillage and plunder
It kind of makes you wonder
how one can hurt another
But dehumanizing the victim makes things simpler
It's like breathing with a respirator
It eases the conscience of even the most conscious
and calculating violator
Words can reduce a person to an object,
something more easy to hate
An inanimate entity, completely disposable,
no problem to obliterate

But death is the silence
in this language of violence
Death is the silence
But death is the silence
in this cycle of violence
death is the silence
It's tough to be young, the young long to be tougher
When we pick on someone else it might make us feel rougher
Abused by their fathers but was at home though
so to prove to each other that they were not homos
The exclamation of the phobic fury
executioner, a judge and jury
The mob mentality, individuality was nowhere
Dignity forgotten at the bottom of a dumb old dare and a numb
cold
stare
On the way home it was back to name calling
Ten against one they had his back up against the wall and
they reveled in their laughter as they surrounded him
But it wasn't a game when they up jumped and grounded him
They picked up their bats with their muscles straining
and they decided they were gonna beat this fella's brain in
with an awful, powerful, showerful, an hour full of violence
Inflict the strictest brutality and dominance
They didn't hear him screaming, they didn't hear him pleading
They ran like cowards and left the boy bleeding

in a pool of red 'til all tears were shed
and his eyes quietly slid into the back of his head
dead...

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

78. Oh hell yeah!

He's awesome!

[AwakeAtLast]

33. I vote other - I've got a major thing for DMX!

Don't know what it is, but I really like him.

[tishaLA]

34. He's sexy as hell

and he's got a great voice

[kitkatrose]

37. Oh, yeah....

Him and LL Cool J. :9

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

79. Could be that... he's hot.

:D

[Deja Q]

38. Chuck D would be #1 on my list.

Flava Flav being a close #2.

[akwapez]

68. Yes, Chuck D.

2nd Choice Johnny Blaze, AKA Method Man, AKA Iron Lung, AKA Ticalian Stallion, AKA........

[asthmaticeog]

40. Kid. Or maybe Play.

Which was the one with the tall hair? That one.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

41. Except for 4 of you you're all fucking INSANE!!!

There is and only will be 1 greatest of all time and he'd be the best to talk to.

And thats Carlton Ridenhour - Chuck D

[dolo amber]

42. Yeah...what he said

:bounce:

(Although I think me and Cube could throw down. ;))

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

44. Maybe Cube pre 1993 - but now - why?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

55. His Work In Barbershop And Boyz In The Hood (nt)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

71. Meh - back in the day he was THE mc. (Next to Chuck with whom he

colabed)

[asthmaticeog]

43. YES! The rhythm, the rebel!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

45. Without a pause I'm lowerin' the level!

:thumbsup:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

46. Oh and by-the-fucking-way - it's Ice T not Ice Tea - good lord!!!

Why do I even bother? :eyes:

[Berserker]

47. None

Long live rock!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

49. Yes - great way to prove the intelligence of "rock purists"

:thumbsup:

[chenGOD]

61. ahem, I think they're called "rockists"

lol
:hi:

[Insider]

50. how about snoop DOOGY dog?

:D

[DemocratSinceBirth]

56. I Did My LIst In A Hurry

At least I didn't confuse him with Strawberry, errrrrrrrrrrrr, Vannilla Ice...

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

70. Ha!

:thumbsup:

[donheld]

51. If were just hanging out it's Ice T,

If its ... It'd be LL Cool J Or Ice Cube

[HEyHEY]

52. Paris or Q-tip

[Rhiannon12866]

53. Why would I want to hang out with a rap star?

And this is not a rhetorical question.:shrug:

[DemocratSinceBirth]

57. For The Same Reason

one would like to hang out with, say


Bill Clinton


Shaquille O'Neal

Jim Brown


et cetera...

[Rhiannon12866]

62. I guess it depends on what your interests are

I would imagine that any conversation with Bill Clinton would be fascinating, though after the speech he gave at the opening of his library, I wondered if he wasn't still suffering from post-surgical stress syndrome. His was a very invasive procedure. I think I would choose Jim Brown over O'Neal, though I'm sure that both men are pretty interesting. But, as for rap stars, I wouldn't have a clue as to what to expect or to say. I prefer rock, as well, but wouldn't necessarily want to hang out with a rock star, either, for the same reasons.:shrug:

[DemocratSinceBirth]

64. I'd Like To Hang Out With Paul and Heather McCartney

That would be cool...


Ray Charles is gone but I would have loved to meet him...

[Rhiannon12866]

65. I'm not sure of the details, but I heard yesterday on the car radio

that Paul McCartney collapsed during a recording session because, at his age, it was too much for him. Like I said, that's all I know. That's really scary, since I never will think of him as old. I like your pix and prefer them to the rap stars.:-)

[Kire]

54. O.D.B.

RIP

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

75. no doubt!

[chenGOD]

58. Prince Paul, Erick Sermon, Biz Markie...

The Beastie Boys (who, whatever anyone says, did some great hip-hop)
De La Soul
Del tha Funky Homosapien


i dunno, I guess poliically minded it wold have to be Chuck D, or maybe Micheal Franti.

Who can tell. Chances of me actually hanging out with any of these people? slim to none, and slim just left town...

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

76. Or Mos Def

He does a body good like wheat bread

[RPM]

59. ODB, but I'll take Chuck D

Actually - chuck D hands down; would like to invite Ice-T if we can have extra people

[blondeatlast]

73. Yeah, Chuck D for sure.

Love him on "Unfiltered" which is a damn fine way to deal with my commute!

[NamVetsWeeLass]

60. i had to go with Eminem... But I would also be really cool with

hanging out with Ice T and Snoop.

[flvegan]

66. Adam "MCA" Yauch

Hands down.

[DemWitch]

67. How come no Xzibit?

Huh? Huh? X to the Z baybee...

[name not needed]

69. Young Buck

:D

[blondeatlast]

72. LL Cool J.

Maybe he isn't PC, but he absolutely makes me drool.

MMMM, mmm.

[arwalden]

74. And HOW!! He's Hot!!

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

77. Kanye West... and FLAVA FLAV

Snoop Dogg comes in third.

Face it, you want to hang out with Flava Flav too.
