lol what the fuck is this? corny lines and nothing really profound to say These are the lines you put up as best ever? It's carpe diem whether the fact or word is your way Comprende? The people versus, you ain't no Sensi Teaching that style of word-play We got the words they Regardless of what your friends say They're all disable Striken from the record and deemed indimissable And this long arm of the law grabs a mighter Shoot dope lines first and ask questions later The death sentence of this live litagator Close the case tighter than the jaws of a 'gator Stenonographer, that study law again, the jargon hahah . I think the problem here is clear. You listen to corny, stupid shit. What you consider dope consist of standard lines that say nothing real.
Rakim is one of my favorite rappers, but it's a joke to post this as evidence of great lyricism. Actually, the lines are pretty basic. I made my debut in '86 Wit a melody and a president's mix And now I stay on target and refuse to miss And I still make hits With beats, parties, clubs in the cars and jeeps My underground sound vibrates the streets MC's wanna beef then I play for keeps When they sweat the technique Compare that to Killajh Priest's first verse on uprising and it sounds like something from decades ago I draw deep ryhmes in hieroglyphics and tribal pictures of *****s survival, some are trifle endings stuck in the beast of three sixes, Bush recycled Hitler I swam through menstrual cycles bitches, blowing the widow spider kisses word to christ a disciple of them bible scriptures decipher my lyrics you see my coming, my predictions witness my mind dimensions, my rhyme adventures, quick, rewind the sentence check for clues, some are missing it stuns my vision, but my third eyes like a cyclops it sees deeper than the *****s on my block, to comstock .......
Is this a joke? While Biggie talks about his everyday struggle, Killah Priest goes further and talks about the struggles of blacks throughout histroy and how it still relates to today. His subject, black history, slavery, is much deeper and profound than biggie talking about selling crack to survive. also, compare the rhymes, rhyme schemes and flow of both songs. It's clear as day that Killah Priest has the more advanced song [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AHzkg7yxww]Killah Priest - One step - YouTube[/ame]

You should apply to review for The Source and put your talent for discerning great lyricists to work. I bet they could use someone as certain as you are.
Dude, you are a fuckin' idiot. If you need any evidence of this, scroll back through your posts on this thread.
Fact is you haven't given reason for anything you've said, yet I'm the idiot? Prove how I'm an idiot. At least use some effort to back up the things you say. Anyone can call another person an idiot. So far, the only thing you've done is post a bunch of songs and call me an idiot.
You sir, began with the insults. You came into a community, started a conversation, and systematically belittled anyone who failed to share your opinion. The funny thing to me is that you ignored the one poster who sort of agreed with you. You are not any kind of authority on the subject, you are a 20something midwestern ignoramous who is spellbound by hocus pocus sprit rap. Priest is good, far from the best ever.
fail to see how expressing my opinion, even if it disagrees with that of others makes me an idiot. This is a music forum where you post your opinions. If you don't like it, you can simply get the hell out the thread. I didn't insult anyone(before being insulted first). I didn't initially call anyone an idiot, you did, nor did I tell them they were a dickridder. These are essentially things you've done. You tell me until I come up with a more scientific method to gauge rap skills and then turn around and tell me I'm too invested when I do just that and also turn around and do nothing but post videos as if that somehow equates to good discussion. Also, how can one be an authority figure on opinions? You went from saying music was subjective, to claiming my opinion doesn't matter as much because I'm not an "authority" figure on the subject. What a joke.
except your "opinions" are not facts, as you clearly have been trying to assert. Honestly it sounds like you just can't handle someone who disagrees with you. Next time make a thread "Do you think.....is the best?" and encourage some discussion rather than "This dude is the best, fuck you."
fuck sakes, I never said my opinions were facts. This is a discussion. At least I'm giving reason for my opinions. The damn a hole just posts videos and tells me I'm wrong and don't know what I'm talking about. For christ sakes, at least provide reasoning for your opinions, unless you're just some airheaded fool that does not really have strong enough intelligence to explain your opinions. Again, this is a discussion forum. Seems like some of you on here are too high to do anything other than post videos and spew random bs.
more complexed story... more original concept and better storytelling [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEkFUISMVAE]Killah Priest - Déjà Vu - YouTube[/ame]
To answer your question in a simple, concise answer, No Killah Priest is not the best rapper ever. Why? Because it's totally subjective and there is no "best rapper ever" category. I've never seen someone try so hard to push their musical opinions on somebody as you have in this thread. Just kick back, enjoy his music and converse with others on how much you all appreciate Killah Priest's music. No need for nonsensical arguments.
Props to the person that posted this. I've thought this for the longest time. Priest is the finest rapper I've ever heard. He paints cinematic scenes with his lyrics. Technically, I'd put his rhyme skills, flow, content and lyrical skills against any rapper to ever do it. The person I'd compare him to is Rakim, but I think his lyrics are a little deeper than Ra's.
