Re: MC Battles Round 1 Rakim Vs KRS One

Excellent thread! Finally a contest without Manc contestants.

Clean the thread up and pm battle suggestions to OP, PLEASE.



Best MC? KRS ONE
BETTER LYRICIST? RAKIM

Manhattan keeps on makin it,
Brooklyn keeps on takin it,
The Bronx keeps creatin it,
And Queens keeps on fakin it.
 
Re: MC Battles Round 1 Rakim Vs KRS One

I've thought about this all day and I reckon that Rakim is among the top two rap artists of all time (the other being Nas).

I really like KRS-One, he was unvelievable on the mic. It was said that he could out perform ANYONE live on stage. So can I have one vote for him juts for sheer respect and two votes for Rakim because he is arguably the greatest!? :)

my lad was trying to explain how good the battle of the rappers is when watching 8 mile(?) seemed to me the winner is who can inult each other by speaking the quickest

All rappers are boastful, it's an inherent part of the culture.

8 Mile/Eminem is shit. You can't judge an entire culture on one whining little ponce with bleached hair.
Spot on. To the point where Eminem wouldn't deserve to even enter an early round of a tread like this because he's too shit! Very annoying and whiney voice, shit beats and tunes, and bang average lyrics. The film is crap, the battles in the film are crap too.

Maybe we should just have this as a rap appreciation thread as there's enough battles in Hip Hop.

Rakim's probably gonna win anyway ;)

If Rakim didn't win I was ready to raise hell like RUN DMC!
