I don't rhyme for the sake of riddling. - Chuck D

Chuck's first and foremost reason for rhyming was to inform so if you are just impressed with just the technical part of Hip-Hop, you don't need to listen to Chuck D. There is a reason why this man is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Idiot.

The average rapper does not flow on time today. The average rapper of the 80's and 90's did, simple as that.

OP, go to about 2:45 mark on Don't Truss It and listen to chuck bust (I doubt you listened, or you're avoiding it). Dude is rippin the beat.

Are we really here arguing w someone about the greatness of vanilla ice and chief keef while discrediting chuck D?

This young generation is fukked.

Let me put it to you this way.

If Chuck was rhymin in the same style about hoes and rims, yall same nikkas would be on some :camby:

Chuck D is a legend DESPITE his below average rhyme technique. And frankly that should tell you more about just how potent his actual words were. You had no choice but to LISTEN because that nikka demanded your attention and he damn well got it.

All BS aside...

Can this man rap..?

Tell me what makes a good rapper to you and give me an example of a good rapper (other than Chuck D), and I will use it as a template to judge Chuck D as a rapper...

I don't care about hip hop before Doggystyle (except for 2Pac) that's the context from which I am coming from...That's why I am asking for an example of a good rapper so we can compare it with Chuck D...

This dudes really can't rap...Vanila Ice on "Ice Ice Baby" is a better rapper than Chuck D has ever and will ever be..

Put all the "he is a legend" ear plugs away and tell me is "technically" speaking (to use Coli Lingo) if Chuck D is a good rapper...


:comeon:

little boy go listen to "My Uzi weighs a Ton" and listen to the lyrical gymnastics on that song and then come back with some feedback


The match up title, the expression of thrill

Too to elite to compete and attempt to get ill
If looks could kill, I'd chill until
The public catches on to my material
YOU KNOW!
:ufdup:
The Ducks criticize my every phase of rapture
Can't wait to read the headlines of my capture
Accused of assault, a 1st degree crime
Cause I beat competitors with my rhymes
Tongue whipped, pushed, shoved and tripped
Choked from the hold of my Kung Fu grip
And if you want my title, it would be suicidal
From my end, it would be homicidal
When I do work, you get destroyed
Make all the paranoid, try to avoid
The Public Enemy seat I've enjoyed
This is no kid and I'm no toy boy
:ohlawd:


u fukking fraud :camby:........you was up thier dissing Michael Jackson for not joining a pro black group like the NATION OF ISLAM

and here you got CHUCK D. one of the earliest if not first strongest advocates of the N.O.I ..and you up here QUESTIONING HIS RAPPING SKILLS and comparing him to VANILLA ICE??!?!?

YOU NEED TO GO KILL YOURSELF :stopitslime:

TRYING TO PASS YOURSELF OFF AS A BLACK HIP HOP PURIST AND YOU AIN'T NOTHING BUT A FLAMMING NO IDENTITY SHOCK VALUE PHAGGOT..

Where is your example for comparison, because anybody can say that about any rapper...

That is as vague as it gets...If I said the same thing about Ballout, my negative reps will be in the minus 1000....:mjlol:


you are using aesthetics from a listener.
who suffers from only being a westcoast gangsta rap era style fan from 1993.
as opposed to being a real knowledgeable listener of rap.
who understands the styles and era's.
that predate the popular gateway gangsta rap mainstream era that arose in 1993.
you are trying to superimpose rap practices from a degradative time and era.
to the golden era culturally and business wise for rap.
while also, ignoring that without chuck d and the bomb squad to give cube life, as a solo.
gangsta rap would have never recovered to be the pop gateway draw for rap that introduced you to rap.
as westcoast gangsta rap was done, after cube left nwa.
if not for the bomb squad, giving cube the cosign in the new school way of thought.
after, the eazy/heller republican party and evil business practices made them completely attackeable.
to the point that they had to diss cube to save face, before cube dissed them back.
as nwa's entire draw to save face was going over the top and making disses before cube bust back.
even then, after sales.
in a time where sales did not save you from being a non-defunct draw culturally.
perception was waning, for nwa.
it would have waned all together if not for the bombsquad/chuck d.
to give cube a more respectable cultural standing and focus draw wise.
to counteract the lack of culture that nwa portrayed as a business/draw.

so, you are out of order.
on more than one issue as far as rap is concerned.
especially, when chuck d is concerned.
