      Бедный уличный рэп умер давно 🤔
      Рэп богачей его полностью уничтожил в начале 00-х годов.
      Вы помните, чтобы хоть кому либо давали музыкальные премии из уличного бедного нищего рэпа ?
      И вообще крутили его на телеке или радио или в трендах ютуба ?
      НЕТ.
      Бедный нищий уличный рэп давно погиб и мёртв

      its the education, most of the new rappers haven't picked up a book no have they made time to learn bout their self so they have nothing to actually talk about apart from the 3rd dimensions desires and even then it's very hard for them to get their point across. That's why they all sound the same.

    Defeat em and mistreat em, so what if that I’m cheating

    I’ma show ya how, come on, all in together now
    Yeah oh yeah yeah that’s how it gotta be
    So stop trying to be loud as me 'cause you can't do that

    Stab and step and repping and run, packing a weapon is wild

    That I provide, I abide the U.S.G
    Besides the ghetto vibe, make me flip like Jekyll and Hyde
    Of course, I come across with the pure for sure unadulterated uncut raw
    Disgusted, busted, you wanna touch it, too hot
    You forgot, you’re not ready, your head could get ruptured
    Hit between the eyes, I plan to vandalize
    I supply the static, I run with the bad guys
    The villains, crooks, highlighters and the fighters
    See the big black picture if you look inside of my mind
    It’s graphic, expressed it drastic
    So kill the copycat act kid, it’s all mastered
    Directed it, when y'all least expected it
    And thought it was safe, Onyx hit you in the face so slam
    Slam, da duh duh, da duh duh
    Let the boys be boys
    Slam, da duh duh, da duh duh
    Make noise b-boys
    Slam, da duh duh, da duh duh
    Let the boys be boys
    Slam, da duh duh, da duh duh

    I’m a b-boy, standing in my b-boy stance
    Hurry up and give me the microphone before I bust in my pants
    The mad author of anguish, my language polluted
    Onyx is heavyweight and still undisputed
    You took the words right out my mouth now walk a mile in my shoes
    I paid so many dues, I feel used and abused and I’m so confused
    Excuse me, for example I’m an inspiration of a whole generation
    And unless you got ten sticky fingers it’s an imitation
    A figment of your imagination
    Bu-bu-bu-but wait it gets worse
    I’m not watered down so I’m dying of thirst
    Coming through with a scam, foolproof plan
    B-boys make some noise, and just, just slam
    Slam, da duh duh, da duh duh
    Make noise b-boys

    Hah I love it. I remember where I was when I bought this album, too. We lived about 90 minutes from Atlanta as a kid, and one weekend we drove up there to shop in their various signature indoor malls of the day. I remember we were at Lenox Square leaving the food court walking toward a record store and I asked them if they would get me a cd. I had turned 13 earlier that year, actually not long before this, back in 1993. Lucky for me my parents, who were good well meaning parents, never censored my music choice. I have never ever had any doubt that they did me a favor as a human being. It certainly did nothing to diminish the lessons they taught me about respecting adults, other peoples property, etc. Your kid did bad shit and had to do a bid in juvenile, and you blame the music, you say? Denial says what? Weird how i cant remember so many everyday things from back then yet my memory is peppered with countless high resolution memories of the most obscure shit.

  •  5 лет назад +114

    These are the dudes the breakfast club compared Tekashii 69 to. The only thing they have in common is the aggressiveness that’s it. But lyrically they’re nothing alike. This track takes me back to 1993. That was one of the best years for Hip Hop in the history of the genre. Wu Tang, a Tribe Called Quest, Onyx, 2 Pac, Digable Planets, Cypress Hill and others released classic Hip Hop albums that year.

    Did these guys name themselves after a high-end stone? ...
    I search onyx on youtube and all I get are these rappers? Where are the shower walls and other fine surface videos? :(

      that's funny, because last time I was at the slab yard I only saw muliticolored slabs of stone under the label "onyx". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onyx
      So Jason, ONYX is a BLACK gemstone, right? Right? Riiiiight?
