Get goosebumps listening to this still and seeing all the real hip hop fans in the comments even to this day just makes me fuckin' smile. Seems like no one I show these guys to can truly comprehend or appreciate their craft. Literal Gods of the Mic.
"Unable to break the habit, I've been taking acid chasing dragons, inhaling gases through my nasal passage a brigade of savage trained assassins as fast as shooting stars moving past surveillance cameras" - Plazma!
These men are real artists. This is more than rapping, this is fucking poetry. They aren't just telling stories through spitting, they are painting pictures in the mind of the listener. Every line contains insane imagery, and yet they can still hold down relentless flows and multi-syllabic rhymes. Rap groups get no better than this.
KDoubleU Music "sleep is the cousin of death." That part of the line they sampled from Nas' : NY State of Mind, the add on of body bags under his eyes was unreal though 👏
Detriment Hip Hop Lol yeah thats what I meant when I talked about the shoulder wordplay, its subtle but obvious at the same time when you really start thinking about it. Thats the genius of it. 🔥🔥
Detriment Hip Hop Haha yeah thats the part I was talking about being subtle I spent a while trying to figure that one out too lol but then one day it clicked
@@ishaking6278 DOOM fans find a way to shove his fucking name into every single conversation. You don't need to remind everyone that you think he's the greatest of all time, Jesus fucking Christ.
These tracks are always great, where every rapper spits a few bars, it gives them a chance to deliver a short verse but one that is full of rhymes and awesomeness, and Rhyme Asylum does this best.
Possessed was definitely the best lyricist in the UK, shame him/Skirmish and Psyclone aren't doing it any more. Both albums were classics, though my favourite was Solitary Confinement
@@Fvckedwithaknife That was an old recording still, manage just produced it into a song. Says it in the description. Hopefully possessed actually does return though.
@@turul44 it’s still crazy to think that he didn’t release ‘Don’t Like’ when he was still making music. That song is fucking crazy from a lyrical standpoint!
Some of the best bars on this: "Yo, we get the ball rolling like Indiana Jones, So much willpower I’m lifting Atlas stones with fractured bones" - Possessed "Drain immortal life force from Dracula’s veins, Strapped in a straitjacket underwater, cracking a safe" - Possessed "In deep sleeps meat-racking my brain, My unconnected punch shatters Wolverine’s adamantium frame" - Psiklone "Only book flights for September 11th and rip the cancer from Constantine's chest to prevent him entering Heaven" - Psiklone "Unable to break the habit, I’ve been taking acid, Chasing dragons, inhaling gases through my nasal passage, A brigade of savage trained assassins as fast as shooting stars moving past surveillance cameras" - Plazma "We’re the things that go bump in the night, Sleep’s the cousin of death and there’s bodybags under my eyes" - Possessed "My only passion in life, to hold you captive at night, hack in your mind, implant an explosive tracking device" - Plazma "I’ll punch the Hoover Dam with titanium fists And stand in a tidal wave to wash away all my sins" - Skirmish "I use the Third Rail as a balancing beam, I’m high-jumping power lines with hammers strapped to my feet" - Skirmish
@@d.pinit7796 lol that's an expression that's been around long before nas or rap in general. I don't remember who but an old poet hundreds of years ago made that expression.
Thanks man! I saw your comment randomly, i was thinking. Dont flop or Kotd need to bring these guys in to battle, im glad Possessed got in Wrc back in the day.
Possessed actually used to battle a few years back, he made it to the finals of the world rap championships in 06 with Reain (Whashisface) just by freestyling alone.
This was removed from iTunes Store several years ago. I remember I bought it in high school and then I was trying to make space on my iPhone and deleted the purchase instead of the music 🤦🏻♂️ and now you can’t buy it. I would love this album in high quality to blast in the car speakers
I feel so sorry for some guy that battle's even ONE of these guys.. Psiklone would tear him apart with horrorcore and leave his limbs still attempting to understand the surgeon like references. Possessed would rip him from the fabric of space and time with metaphorical sentences. Skirmish would slaughter him with killer heavy hitting lines causin him to choke on his own breath.
