a dying breed, and I'm almost extinct so I'm saying it loooooooooud!!,
say it with me, emcee means move the crowd!
What I do best is emcee. What I'm most known for is emceeing. So that's
what that is then! I consider myself a lyricist first and foremost. A
poet wit the capabilities to express the feelings of my people. A man of
the people. I speak for the people. It seems now a days everyone is a
"rapper", or your best friend or cousin raps! For Christ sake! Let the
bitch breathe! Not calling hip hop my bitch, or even a bitch. She is one
of the most beautiful women in my life though! However cats today are
treating my love like a dirty whore!
Some folks need to fall back and just be fans of the music, because
everyone can't be behind the mic! Plus there is an artform to true
emceeing and most cats don't get it! So instead of studying the game.
They rush and disrespect the game. I've been a student of this music,
culture and artfor since the 80's. I know wassup. I feel as if I have
grown with this music. I was first introduced to hip hop by my cousin in
the 80's who was a dj. I used to sneak and listen to him play records at
my mom's basement parties. The music was amazing! From then on I was a
skateboard riding, hip hop junkie (I was rocking vans, and skating
wayyyyy before Lupe came out with "kick, push" and the pack was rocking
vans!). As a matter of fact Will Smith and the Beastie Boys influenced
me to write my first rhyme about my cherry red skateboard! I've been an
emcee ever since.
I love this music and culture we call hip hop. I'd take bullet for the
art. For real.
Life is what you make it......Lets make money!
