Yo know you have been away when....

[Nar8iv]

I have been away from HIP HOP for a while but documenting my world has brought me back in...so here are a few questions just to show my ignorance & be schooled.

1.Did OBD really die of AIDS?(not too hard to believe)

2.Does RZA hav a skin disease?

3.Does WC of West Side Connection cut the "three-bokdrolle" on his chin?

4.Is LORD HAVE MERCY still around?

5.Does anybody agree that JAKEE from Paarl's Koekamakranka LP is probably the best Afrikaans meterial this year/

6.Did anyone see the article in the sunday times a few weeks back where MCdONALDS (yes , the burger people) -are looking for a rapper to drop their name in some songs for royalties?

7.Can Black Thought of the the roots rap about anything except that he's a better MC than anyone else yet.(Please post MP3 to answer this question)

8.Am I the only one that thinks Black Eyed Peas song "Dont Lie" sounds exactly the same as their song "Shutup" - lyrics / theme & all?

9.Has Funk Master Flex done anything about his whiny voice yet?

10.Is ADIDAS really contributing to HipHop?( Im a fan by the way - but they are still just a business.)

Look forward to the answers on this one!

You're kidding right?..aka the "Please post the Black Thought discography" post :lol:

I'm bored so a quick run down...

ODB died from Cocaine overdose. He had a leaked "bullet" in his stomach.

2.Does RZA hav a skin disease?

??
next

4.Is LORD HAVE MERCY still around?

Yeah. He released an album last year to a luke-warm reception. I didnt bother downloading. He is no longer with flip-mode though. check Allhiphop.com interviews.

6.Did anyone see the article in the sunday times a few weeks back where MCdONALDS (yes , the burger people) -are looking for a rapper to drop their name in some songs for royalties?

Old news and it is actually true. Rappers been name-dopping Mickey-d's for years though. I dont see the hype.

7.Can Black Thought of the the roots rap about anything except that he's a better MC than anyone else yet.(Please post MP3 to answer this question)

ha ha

try "Water" on phrenology

8.Am I the only one that thinks Black Eyed Peas song "Dont Lie" sounds exactly the same as their song "Shutup" - lyrics / theme & all?

I do my best to avoid their songs. I'm relatively successful so I cant help you with that one.

9.Has Funk Master Flex done anything about his whiny voice yet?

ha ha

but I still prefer Flex's mixtapes to all these new mixtape DJS screaming all over the tracks. eg. DJ Kay Slay AKA "Slap your favourite dj"/ "Damn!". Why cant mixtape/exclusives djs just shut up and do normal things like cutting and mixing?

10.Is ADIDAS really contributing to HipHop?( Im a fan by the way - but they are still just a business.)

You really been away that long man! Its 2005, does hiphop even support adidas as much as it used to then(80's)? Nowadays I think kids are more into your Sean John, Timbalands, Fubu and so on.
