Lord Jamar vs Eminem

eminem vs lord jamar
Can't understand what all the back and forth is all about. Been doing this in the Bronx, since late 70's. Smack talk without a CALL OUT is NOT HIP HOP. You cannot Be a Top Hip Hop cat, Talk about, have an opinion about, or Discuss the politics of another MC, without having some kind of Battle Plan in your mind. if you are not planning on battling EMINIMEM, you should not even be thinking about why he is, or isn't relevant in the HOOD. WTF happened to HIP HOP? So called Hip Hop heads should be in battle mode daily. But ever since the rap era took off in the early 80's, these newer generation cats get away with shiet they claim white people pull. Truth. How you gonna talk about another TOP RAPPER without the intent of a call out, or at least finding him, and opening a cipher, and go rhyme for rhyme with him in front of a crowd of your peers! TAKE THAT L in front of fellow rappers! hahaha, you ain't built like that smprh. YALL KNOW THIS!!! I am not making this up! The rules never
changed with BBOYS, WRITERS (GRAFFITI) and DJ'S. So why are these famous rap recording artists getting a PASS? I don't even have to get into the political side of this debate, NO NEED! Bro….. prove your point! CALL HIM OUT! Show him how to make a GHETTO BANGER "TODAY"! If he cant do it, then prove your point. Make a HOOD SONG that bangs today! SHOW BY EXAMPLE.
Now as a father of 3 Puerto Rican Boys, and always having a house full of young Black and Latino Kids during the Eminem Era. I can surely tell you all the BLACK and LATINO Ghetto Kids chillin in my house, WERE BANGING EM SONGS DAILY! And still recognize his contributions to LYRICISM.
I can also attest to the fact. That in the late 70's, and early 80's, the BEST MC's were so focused on RHYMES! They could not make a HIT SONG to save they life!
GOD BLESS FURIOUS who were able to do it. Treacherous 3, Moe D, and others, But i don't hear no one in the hood playing "GO SEE THE DOCTOR" And MOE D is one of the greatest of all time. The difference is, HE ACTUALLY BATTLED! IMHO: Em could not even touch the skill level of a MOE D during the Moe D era. MOE was already on the EM style word play back then. That is how advanced MOE D was in his time.
Now G BLESS JAY ZEE who is able to find that delicate balance of Street Cred, and commercialism. For the most part. the BEST MC's were just not great recording artists. Just look at the RAP Battle circuit. most of those cats are so real with the skills, they can't find the balance to make a HIT. it just does not suit them to do a club banger. These are modern day warriors, looking to test skills against the best, not sit in a studio and work on hooks….. smprh =/
In Conclusion, If I mention Brand Nubian to any of these young kids today……….. =/ you get my point
bless up, stay busy on the mic, and lazy on the youtube channels…

DJ Kool Herc is the Official Father of Hip Hop Culture. His music selection, and connection to the BBOY/BGIRL Community, as well as his overwhelming presence on the streets created a huge following that lead to all the manifestations of what Hip Hop is today.

The official year is 1973, the year that DJ Kool Herc had a famous party for his sister, and where he started playing his trademark style of Bboy Music, and how he played his music set off the scene that sparked the flames for what today's Hip Hop represents.

DJ (that cuts break beats), MC (rapper), BBOY/BGIRL (breaking is the original Hip Hop Dance), WRITER (original term for graffiti writer), KNOWLEDGE (of Hip Hop History, of self, Other people, cultures, and the world around you)
the basic elements of Hip Hop Dance are: from NYC we have Breaking, Rocking, Party Dance/Freestyle, Electric Boogie. and from the West Coast influence we also include POPPING, and LOCKING.
Many will say it is BREAKING, POPPING, and LOCKING. Due the popularity of early Hip Hop Movies like BEAT STREET, and BREAKIN. But the real truth would be: BREAKING, ROCKING, and FREESTYLE/PARTY DANCE
YES, HIP HOP DANCE, is an extreme physical, and cardio workout, and also a fund dance. Even if you do basics in any of the styles of Hip Hop, we believe you would receive great benefits in your health.
First make sure you love the music. if you are a fan of real Hip Hop Music (Break Beats & Rhymes, Rap, Electro Funk). First thing any Hip Hop beginner should learn is simple Groove, and 2 Steps. Even for Breaking. Having a good sense of rhythm will take you far in any style of Hip Hop. Make sure you take classes with a reputable studio that teaches foundations in all Hip Hop dance styles.
The traditional way to get your name in Hip Hop Dance, is when your teacher, or someone influential gives you a name. You want a name with meaning, that represents your dance, and someone who has been there through out your journey who you respect, is the best person to give you a name. Other wise, some people choose a name based on his or her movement, add the word BOOGIE and your Initials, Start with MR, or MRS and add a funky move like MR WIGGLES ;), Use your CITY and add your initials. Try starting with a 3 letter word taken from your first or last name, or do like POP MASTER FABEL and open a dictionary, cover your eyes, flick the pages, and point at a random word (true story), then change the spelling of the word to give the name a twist.
If You dedicate yourself to studying basics without getting ahead of yourself, keeping up with social style dance 2 steps, and grooves, learn short 4 count freestyles, and build up to 8 count, 16 count, 32 count freestyles, and battle in open ciphers with other students, you will get good fast. But it takes a patient mindset to study foundation without getting anxious to grow. You are good once you can combine rhythm, groove, steps, and moves with confidence.
