      Al Capone may have been a bad guy, but his evil was focused purely on rival gangs and the Lawmakers.

      ​@@FrinniferFran...no? Al Capone was suspected to be behind the murders of over several dozen people. Not all of which were rival gangs.
      Being against prohibition is a very low bar to clear for being "good". If a crime organization happens to do a good thing every so often that doesn't excuse the evil acts they commit.
      Edward Teach (Black Beard) is not much different. He, among most famous pirates during the golden age of piracy didn't actually kill people all that often. The only reported murder from Blackbeard was when he was literally fighting for his life (and lost it). However, he did still make sailing in the Caribbean far more dangerous. And he greatly impacted the economy of port towns on the southern east coast.

      @@pacmonster066 well, a Silver Tongue certainly got Al Capone far. Being perceived as a Robin Hood (even when he really isn’t) and doing good despite the Evil Acts committed, sure they were all basically publicity stunts, but can you deny the positive effect it had on people going through the Great Depression and all the lives he’s touched through his acts of Charity? I will admit that he was CERTAINLY no saint, but if people even after ALL this time, are still willing to speak of him in such high esteem these days (namely those who were affected by his charity) it speaks volumes on who is more fondly remembered.

Al dente is considered the perfect way to cook pasta, and it's not easy to master: it requires measuring the timing to perfection to avoid overcooking and messing it up. Both making pasta al dente and rapping hard require superior skill in their respective fields; as such, this is a boast by Al about his top-notch rapping skills, which he is claiming to be comparable to the top-notch cooking skills required to be able to make perfect pasta al dente.

      As Italian I can tell you 100% that "pasta al dente" is a specific tecnique to cook the pasta to let it intentionally hard. This come with some clear advantages: hard pasta last longer (perfect for cold pastas or buffet/brunch situation) or when you have to pack pasta for a fast lunch (example: wifes pack pasta lunchbox for husbands). Finally, is the only correct way to do the famous Pastapie (in italian "pasticcio di pasta).

I have a lot more stories about my family and the ties between them and Al Capone, and I always like coming back to this to remind me how important my family is and what they've done leading up to my generation, or the 3rd Italian-American generation, after my great grandparents moved to the U.S. from Italy.

    Someone needs to tell EpicLLOYD he needs to go into acting. He plays the part of his characters so well: just look at the face he has when he plays Capone. It's the kind of narcissistic, disengaged look of someone who has seen so many people die he could paint his house with their blood. It's a dangerous look, and not many people can pull it off on acting alone.

      The History Of Rap: Vol. 1: The Genesis
      In the early 1970s a musical genre was born in the crime-ridden neighborhoods of the South Bronx. Gifted teenagers with plenty of imagination but little cash began to forge a new style from spare parts. Hip-hop, as it was then known, was a product of pure streetwise ingenuity; extracting rhythms and melodies from existing records and mixing them up with searing poetry chronicling life in the 'hood, hip-hop spilled out of the ghetto.
      From the housing projects hip-hop poured onto the streets and subways, taking root in Bronx clubs like the Savoy Manor Ballroom, Ecstasy Garage, Club 371, The Disco Fever, and the T-Connection. From there it spread downtown to the Renaissance Ballroom, Hotel Diplomat, the Roxy, and The Fun House. It migrated to Los Angeles, where a whole West Coast hip-hop scene developed, sporting its own musical idiosyncrasies, its own wild style.
      Through television shows like BET's Rap City and Yo! MTV Raps and a succession of Hollywood movies, hip-hop gained millions of new fans across America, in places far removed from the genre's Bronx roots. It spread to Europe, Asia, Africa, and nearly every continent on Earth, gaining more cultural significance as the years rolled by. Today it is one of the most potent and successful musical forms of the 20th Century.
      Hip-hop is the voice of a generation that refused to be silenced by urban poverty, a local phenomenon fueled with so much passion and truth it could not help but reach the entire world. Like every musical genre that came before, hip-hop has its pioneers, artists who were essential in defining and popularizing the art form. This CD series showcases those legendary artists -- their songs and their enormous talents -- who created what today is known as rap.
      The History Of Rap. How can we truthfully tell this story? There are so many different versions. Who is correct? There were approximately ten different pioneers, each of whom stakes a claim as the originator: Pete DJ Jones, Kool DJ Herc, DJ Hollywood, Eddie Cheeba, "Love Bug" Starski, Grand Master Flash, Afrika Bambaataa, Kurtis Blow, the Sugarhill Gang, Run DMC.

    This was obviously a very good, close match. But BlackBeard won, its easy not to notice BlackBeards strong history references, but are very, very clever lines. BlackBeard Wins.

      At first, I really thought Al'Capone Easily won, but after looking at all of the strong history references and even Al'Capones life references really gave BlackBeard the win, also, Edward should have been on BlackBeards side.

      You can't beat Blackbeard because he pwned Al Capone "The valentines massacre bought your condemnation, but I'm gonna sink you faster than your income tax evading, toss you overboard like a mob abomination, so prepare to learn the Davy Jones locker combination.
      Forty cannon on the Queen Anne your gang can't stop it, pilfer all your rim an sell it back at a profit.
      Cos I'm a criminal legend with a badass name, you're just a fat thug with an STD in his brain.
      One does not simply beat Blackbeard...

  • @michelejones4844
    @michelejones4844 5 лет назад +863

    Am i the only one who felt that the background action seemed to almost match the flow of the battle on who had harder lines? During capones first verse where he starts hard, we see his men in the background hiding their booze. Then in blackbeards second verse where he seems to recover, we see blackbeards men steal capones booze. But then in capones final verse, you see his men hire the assassin who then slaughters the pirates while capone slaughters blackbeard on the mic. ...........................
    ...... no, just me? Lolol
