Elite Lyricists in S.A

[SIN]

Here is an idea. Since cats is always claimin that they or their peoples are the dopest rappers around( I'm guilty of that and I mean it), I thought why not we upload 5 tracks of a dude we deem to be the illest and vote on em. The rapper that wins most categories will be crowned AG King/ Queen, and this debate can finall rest. Ma proposed categories are
1. Streets
2. Witty
3. Emotional/Real Life
4. Political/Conscious
5.Narrative/Situational
In all these categories the contestants would be judged on swagger, flow, delivery, conviction, content and most importantly LYRICISM.
Ma proposed rappers are Cone, Snazz, Tumi, Captain and Prokid.
Suggestion to make it credible are welcomed. All tracks should be up by next week Friday. I already have five of Cone's tracks.

Wut a deal? Cats don't feel they or their favourite emcees can compete. Don't put up name of tracks. Submitt tracks for each category, so that we can listen and judge. I'll understand if cats don't wanna play, cause we don't play fair! ha ha

wheres the commercial section ? commercial hip hop is the biggest scene in hip hop

[rob_one]

Good idea, but will it be taken up by the ma**es?  :D

Good idea, but will it be taken up by the ma**es?

[QUAN KATA]

f*** being famous and shit..I mean I know cats in my area that will murder the likes of Flabba or Nemza and whoever else is big in S.A. I think the kat must be first of all must be lyrically inclined(no monotonous crap), Must have a skill of sparking controversy at any give moment in the game. And ofcourse must have the stature of an ill MC, I mean you must just get a glimpse of da kat and be intimidated....And frankly I dont see not one kat in the SA game that has that...Well Im not an SA underground expert but if theres a kat in da SA underground regime that has the lyrical capabilty to take on any kat from the USA underground or commercial, he should step up to the podium...Hate it or love, the US scene will always shape Mzansi hip hop one way or another

[Zee-Supreme]

MY VOTE IS FOR MAGGZ

[Dpleezy]

i'm going with KONFAB and Ben Sharpa (aka Kaptin).

(no suprise there).

"Ben Sharpa and KONFAB, two of the most inspired and agile lyricists in the world today..."

- Mary Anne Hobbs (BBC Radio 1).

It can be commercial cats as well, though I don't know any cats locally that would qualify to be considered commercial, check the sales to see wut I mean. Dplanet has proposed Konfab and Captain, Zee has proposed Maggz. I got five of Cone's tracks for each category, if anyone else has tracks of dudes they feelin, then they should upload em by next week Friday. This is meant for AG peeps, not the 'ma**es'. I think the excercise will be a valuable one.
