Next Up… Face, Willie & Bushwick. Solo or as a group….

Im going to be selecting some of the top groups/MC’s and asking what you dont like about them. I will try to hit up one each day. Its easy to talk about the things you like, I want to see if there’s something you think they couldve done better or that simply turned you off about them.

Star if you like the idea and leave it alone if you dont.
@ Nexx: haha.. that album cover is classic.

Here are the lyrics to The Arsonists’ “Underground Vandal.” How many names (rappers, rap groups, graf writers, graffiti crews, DJs, producers, record labels, etc.) can you identify within the lyrics?

Some of the spellings of the references are not exact.
There are over 65 names within the lyrics.
See how many you can identify:

“See there’s one hundred and eighty seven reasons why to be a necrophiliac,
I’m in a cage where only non fiction could see me at,
thirstin’ to howl within the third hour of the night,
ducking vandal squads, sprayin’ hard & avoidin’ the search lite,
using the shades of Brooklyn,
to cloak from blue & white problems,
switch tips on krylons,
meanwhile I fondle ‘em, the click-clack’s, the knick knack,
finish the piece, step back,
mad skills, hispanic, urban thermodynamic, pitch black,
here comes the boys in blue, ’cause of mass influence,
they have intents to harm me,
they’re coming at me wit’ a killer army,
I’m pf cutting corners like tron, it’s on the go,
you know how my company flow to XL like chino,
I dipped through kalodge projects to the house of reps,
where n*ggaz like “‘ey L got skills,”
absolutely!
cops didn’t try to shoot me & I lost em,
but when they get back to the precinct, believe me,
it’s gonna cost em,
but I don’t give a f*ck like slim shady,
godfather don of organized confusion, hi tek,
with my illusion in this subculture,
I dwell amongst the sharks and vultures,
you don’t know the sciences of life’s trife,
the streets’ll coach ya,”

“caught in the middle of breakin’ & being mister live at block parties,
status of mister man,
I have a change of plans,
sprayin’ elements of style, so graffiti is survivin’,
TC5, TCK, NBK… y’all keep it live, sky’s the limit,
either that or nose dive,
it takes practice to make your J live,
so I shoot to swish in this business,
making records from the heart and soul,
when it’s crunch time,
all it’s gonna boil down to, are my words worth the punchline,
the gifted one,
like a gemini,
double trouble, triple metaphors,
I’m mister complex,
and always rock steady in my context,
I X men,
til they’re invisible,
like them scratch masters, supernatural,
resource disaster, black star in Bushwick,
I’m known to mop tops with natural elements,
the juggernaut that can’t be stopped,
last emperor from Socrates to Toynbee,
makin’ no dead presidents,
but don’t know label own me!
my cartel consists of shabbazz and beat nuts,
crash dummies & fifth platoon supplying the killer cuts,
I’m in a room with MF Doom,
doctor octagon & killer priest,
they’ll all have you underground,
restin’ in peace.”

panda_chibi asked:


My friend and I are looking for our first apartment, but our budget is kinda tight, since we’re both 20 yr old college students ($1300/mo + extra utilities).

How safe is the area around Dekalb-Wyckoff station in the Williamsburg/Bushwick area of Brooklyn? We know how to be street smart and mind our own business, but as I said we’re both 20 years old + female and Caucasian (well, actually, I’m Cuban, but I don’t look it at all, so screw it).

How safe is the area for living? Since there is definitely the possibility of getting back late from Manhattan, what with possible night classes, work, or just hanging out there, and we’d be traveling alone most days.

Any other safe areas in Brooklyn you’d recommend that don’t have that bad of a commute via subway to Manhattan? We’re also looking in Queens (Astoria/Sunnyside/LIC). Any suggestions within our budget would be great. Thanks.
Astoria, et al. does seem safer to me. Bushwick seems ok, but I’ve heard some stories… And I’ve never heard anything bad about Astoria.

However, the reality is that Bushwick has many more listings in our price range, and the commute isn’t too horrendous. So any info about the safety of Bushwick would be best.
