I'd say the Life of Joseph McVey would be the best introduction to his content. It stands still as the best effort Z-Ro put out that I know of. I haven't checked for him in a long time, but Life still to this day gets played all the way through on a constant basis.

Someone just put me up on this artist Boogie, and I fucks with the above track. Anyone can recommend any other projects or tracks by him?

Oh My is a standout banger. I thought he would blow up off that alone.

Everything Boogie touches has been great.

How do they determine that? Traces of gun oil or something?

Scratches and indentations made in the shell casing from the action of the firearm, mainly the ejector pressing on the casing to eject the cartridge. The magazine and feed ramp will also leave markings. Consider all these markings a fingerprint left on the casing from the weapon in question.

Wayne is that kid who keeps forgiving his alcoholic rear end moms for her chronic child neglect immediately after she sobers for a day and a half to find the energy to take him to the park and buy him ice cream, getting his hopes up because "this time I know it will be different."

Although Brotha Lynch Hung is somewhere near the epicenter of horrorcore, and I'm not a huge fan of most of his catalog, this poo poo still bumps:

You could probably quote half the greater Hypnotize Camp / older Memphis joints for spooky poo poo.


Pastor Troy is a huge favorite of mine that has some darker material. His We Ready / DSGB tapes are both personal favorites I hold high. Face Off was probably more well liked as an all around studio effort and is filled with bangers, too.

Most poo poo coming out of the 80s had stilted, simple deliveries. Hiphop was young and still finding its place. Look up Kurtis Blow / Grandmaster Flash and it may make more sense.

It wasn't until the 90s before MCs began to steadily push the envelope of what was considered high tier lyricism. Kool G Rap paved the way for a lot of the guys considered GOATs today.

Edit: Forgot to add, Beastie Boys' production was always on point.

You are definitely right about Kool G Rap being really influential. But I would say that the simple delivery was more the early 80's because by the late 80's you had some pretty talented and influential lyricists like Rakim, Eric Sermon and Parrish Smith from EPMD, Big Daddy Kane, and Chuck D. And I know I am missing a bunch of others.

My post was a no doubt a huge generalization as it would take too much time to cover all the bases. I passed over a lot of artists that I would have gone into depth about if I had cared to actually type a ton of poo poo.

In hindsight Slick Rick is probably my most favorite artist, who coming out of the 80s, was well ahead of his time as far as lyrics go.

I'd still say the following around that time were fairly simple structured in regards to lyrical content (to me these artists were more about the message than how that message was being delivered, although extremely talented and pushing hiphop forward, all the same):

Kane's Ain't No Half Steppin
Eric B & Rakim's I Ain't No Joke (a personal favorite) or Paid In Full (I'll give Rakim credit where due, he killed the late 90s)
Public Enemy's Fight the Power
EPMD's You Gots To Chill
ATCQ's Kick It or Bonita Applebum

I chose to single out Kool because, IMO, he pushed the game further away from the status quo of prior lyrical style and continued to influence everyone after him for a long rear end time. Thats not to detract from all the great lyricists that came up in the early to mid 90s because the list could go forever and it was a extremely pivotal and amazing time for hiphop.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that, at least for me, it was Kool that was the starkest in comparison to the people who came before him.

Apologies for that long rear end derail.

I know I'm probably forgetting or overlooking someone, but this Lucas/Lanez battle is the first one I can recall in a very long time where both keep coming out swinging with quality poo poo. I've thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. I was thinking that Joyner was going to have the whole thing in the bag and over quickly but I've been surprised by Tory everytime and can see someone going either way with who they think is getting the upper hand.
