"YO-YO" Theory

[TATEguru v.2K9]

Yo whats up with all these emcees on some "Yo-Yo" ish before they jump on a track?
They be running out of time & they didnt even flow,
Get your lyrics right, " :roll: YO-YO"
We could get 5 year olds on a track going "Yo-Yo"
Release their Cd & say they "rappin, Yo-Yo's",
SO many Yo' that we could throw a "Yo-Show"

I agree man mcees be takin up to 8bars worth of "Yo-Yo's"
Can somebody explain this phenomenon?...

[eraze]

YO YO...WASSUP YO MY MAN...YO YO WHATS UP TATE        

[TATEguru v.2K9]

When you step up to the mic like "Yo-Yo"
Do you think you sound tight like "Yo-Yo"
Get your LyriIIIcs Right "Yo-Yo",
You out of time & you didnt even flow! :wink:

[machiavella]

hahah shits annoying cats got nothing to say..

what even worse in my opinion is the

cats saying

"rappin on the mic"
"and i do it like that"
"this is how i do"

there is a string of bars that give away cats who can't freestyle for shit

[BHLAKHROZE]

what kills me is ' CAN YOU FEEL IT!!!???' and the crowds on some 'YEBO!!!!'
'I SAID CAN YOU FEEL IT!!!??'
'EVERYBODY SCREAM!!!!'

(repeat sequence a few more times)

...* she chuckles to herself *

[MaddStone]

What bout at them big concerts with them big acts going:
"We love you South Africa"
and the crowd going crazy

and then they they drop
"say Oh, say Yeah, say Oh, now scream".

This reminds me of that track of Common of the Like Water for Choc cd called Funky for You.My sis put me on that one.Superb:

"I'm a child of the ahh - The 87 ahh
From the streets - Get on a beat and go ahh
I could break it down like whatever ya ahh
On some K-R-S be here forever type unh
You-you-you-you know you shouldn't rhyme like unh
Let them pussy niggas get in your mind like unh"

Classic.

Its like u gotta drop it like unawares these days on an SA track:

"Yo yo yo
yo yo
yo yo yo
yo yo
yo yo yo
yo yo
yo yo yo yo yo yo yo
Jou ma se^ jy luister te veel kwaito
maar jy's 'n white ou
hoe werk ie vibe nou?"

[briCK]

hahaha yeah..

half these MCs dont know what they saying on the mic..or rather dont know what the audience hears and reacts too..

i was in a cypha and some cat was like

"i am the illest MC in this Cypher
who ever wanna test come test"

excuse me for being ignorant and listening to what you so i steps to him and throw a few batle lines and he was on some

"ayo why you always tryna test cats when we having a nice cypher?"

i was thinking to myself..but you asked me to est..needless to say i proceeded to test and squash him and get labelled a cyper interupter..well i'm sorry if you dont expect people to take what you say seriously under the guise of it just being a "normal" happy kiss ass cypher"

Mcs watch what you say coz ppl is listening

[MaddStone]

Mcs watch what you say coz ppl is listening

Yep, so rite, but in some cases not really applicable.If ur Mystical (on some songs) or Janet or u rhyme like Toni Braxton sings on some songs........ppl dont need to really hear what u say cause if u rhyme like the previously mentioned utter sometimes, then it sounds more Duke tryna utter "Chippa, go get me a drink" but no one really cares.lol.

[the brandｮ]

yo yo
i go like yo on a track like yo
next thing iam like whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They trying to "catch" the beat.

Good Freestylers do it too. Its just that it sounds worse when wack rappers do it and dont actually drop rhymes after that.

So I dont have a problem with it.

[triplelife]

well said eff_haf.............

[MaddStone]

SO why not just say "go go go" or "here we go", repeatedly?

Why the Yo Yo Yo then?

[triplelife]

started back in the day when the word was fresh, but now its kinda stale to use it in ya raps even though the reality of it is......the word is used ever so often in conversation by lotsa cats...ya dig?

[MaddStone]

No doubt Trip, I dig it suckaaaaaaaaa............sorry just some Booker T steam being let off.

All good bro.
