Its secondary user name defense time now

We still waiting for anybody to money up on that. All get together, put your money together and we will do this lol.



Shout out to @The Beast though, keeping it real, as always. Real recognize real. And he knows more about Hip Hop than 95 percent of people here, as do several of the others who have said real shyt.

Dope E wrecked that C.O.D 2 album, I went back and started checking his shyt and he is DOPE.... I guess hence the name lol, but he really is a very capable MC, he got any solo albums?

K-Rino and Dope E in the 80's, that legendary longevity....



All theTerrorist albums are basically Dope E solos...

The 1st one "terror strikes" is one of my favorite rap-a-lot releases ever...but the 2nd one "Full Scale Attack" is an album you definitely gonna want to check out...lot of socio-political and concious shyt on there...and he spittin his ass off

Track with Rino on it

Nearly 3000 views in a day, this is impressive....

All I can say is Don't Stop....

Here's a few quotes of the song from GENIUS.com

Featuring the great brother Z-Ro in the video...

[Hook]
Don’t stop talking, don’t stop lying
Keep on bashing, and I’ll keep flying
Keep being mad, and I’ll keep laughing
Cause y’all ain’t even hating right, y’all need practice
Y’all ain’t even hating right, y’all need practice
Cause I’m still hard, while you softer than a mattress
Steady getting money, skills sharper than a cactus
Y’all ain’t even hating right, y’all need practice



[K-Rino]
Keep telling people that I’m trash, like you ‘spose to
Keep mean mugging, everytime you see my poster
I’m still accomplishing thangs, that you could never hope to
While I keep getting doper, you at home looking at Oprah
You still slandering, but my status never drops
Everytime you hate I get greater, I hope you never stop
How do you hate homie, let me count the ways
You the type of dude to tell the roaches, where I sprayed the Raid

The prophetic wisdom.... :blessed::whew:

K-Rino has a number of inspirations to him in his music, Grandmaster Melle Mel the legend is 1, as is T-La Rock who he is cool with, little known fact (Cliff) talked about doing a joint together, think it was gonna be on the Time Traveller album.

The reason I mention this is this quote came to my mind....

Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Run-DMC, T-La Rock, Sugar Hill Gang, KRS-One to name a few. Sam Cooke is also a major influence, along with Dolemite"

Some of the other influences, but big up the great Martin Luther King JR, someone I love and admire, always have, despite the philosophical differences he may have had with someone like Malcolm who I also hugely respect they were both true soldiers who genuinely cared and died for the cause.

Hip Hop has done some great things to bring people together, I have met people of all different races, backgrounds and locations through Hip Hop.



Malcolm X is often championed in Hip Hop and so he should be, but I'm glad Martin has his fair share of admirers too. I even liked the joint Game and Nas did about Martin, it was kind of raw in the sense it wasn't necessarily catered, but it expressed the feelings some have about Martin when they are young but when they grow up and start to understand more and gain more knowledge they start to realize what an incredible human being we had in Martin, everyone is flawed, no-one is perfect, but he was an amazing orator and a wise brilliant individual.
