@@Empirebusiness "on the off beat" is a musical term it's not disrespectful... it means he was rhyming on the upbeat instead of the downbeat, chill lol.
@@Empirebusiness "on the off beat" doesn't mean he was "off beat" it's the beat in between 1 and 2. So he's rapping on the "and" part which is hard to maintain smoothly off the dome.
man ghost was straight coming into his own right here. this has gotta be 96. ghost swag is ridiculous. side note: Joe Claire was the best Rap City host of all time.
The stash well hidden in the cash box with a padlock. Slid uptown and bagged a fox. Now back to the projects where I settle, sportin gold medals and guarding the base like Greg Nettles
That's some real street 90s gear they had on. Both those emcees are nice on the mic to this day: Very dedicated in their craft: Great role models to me in how prolific they are having such long successful careers. They've come a long way from this.
Originally, in Old school hip hop of the 1980s, the term ‘freestyle’ referred to a pre-written rap verse that was not on any particular subject matter, but rather was written for the purpose of demonstrating skill.[8] The term is still occasionally used in this way, though since the 90s, the majority of today’s artists use it to mean improvised rapping.[1] Contents [hide]
I remember watching this in 10th grade. Back when Joe Claire hosted Rap City. I never thought back then that Ghostface would be the 1 left holding the torch. This was before Ironman though. Hip-hop was so fun back then. Everyone is a phony thug now.
hiphop died as a progressive artform in the early 2000s...im not sure what modern pop rap should be called but it aint hiphop. (just to be clear the guys that were rockin in the 80s and 90s are still rockin today)
Never seen this before?? Ghost Face and Rae are incredible.... And the sick thing is, after all this time from the early 90's to now {That's allot of time}... Their flow is still remarkable! Wow.... The Wu
GZA uses the sword as a metaphor for the tongue From darkness to DNA, I move with my brother And we resonate, energy that shifts in colors Bringing MC's punishment, then I'm done with it The meter leave way on the fast break, I run with it It was not a hobby, but a childhood passion That had started in the lobby and was quicky fashioned Every line to line, bar for bar is clockwork Hazardous and powerful enough to have your block hurt
Its gratitude when you understand this shit i love these guys man Raekwon looks like a real kool nigga you and ghostface murdered the Observatory show it was an Honor WU Forever!!!!!
