Ritual of Battle was horrible. I did like "Swords Drawn" "Black Christmas" "Seven" and "Strike Back" Though. But the 5 Perfect Extertions days were better. I spoke to stoupe though, he's working on History Of Violence (New JMT w Jus Allah)

MM Food, Madvilliany, and Viktor Vaughn (First one) are ill albums by MF Doom.

Yeh I got to say, Ritual of Battle isn't as good as torture papers. Doom is indeed a very dope MC.

I didn't like torture papers. Only gorillaz and Narrow Grave were ill on that one. Yea MF Doom is dope. Haven't heard much from him lately though. The game is getting wacker and wacker. Hopefully it will come around again. My goal is to help do that.

Yeah, Blue Sky Black Death are pretty tight (two producers). Liked the Hell's Ladder joint with Hell Razah (Wu Affiliate). I also like the Dirtnap Mixtape they did recently as well. Finding Forever was a great album by Common.

Renaissance Child is one dope album..I mean seriously Hell Razah is soo underrated.

mbfraser (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/members/mbfraser-154324) pretty good list you got there, I think you should get some Big L, Talib Kweli, Little Brother, Dead Prez, Masta Ace and Gza's and Gang Starr stuff I'm sure you will like most of that.

It's a tough game on their my friend. It ain't easy. Meeting people and even working with them means squat if you don't have a budget, label support or enough talent under you. But thanks for the good luck, i'll definitely need it if i have any chance at succeeding.

Twista is pretty fast but nothing special, get some stuff by 'bone thugs and harmony' if you like fast shit that is also lyrically dope.

I have alot of songs and cds from these fast rappers. Twista, Bone Thugs together and solo projects, Trae, Z-Ro, Mr. Lucci, Mr Sancho, Mr Pookie, Califa Thugs, Poetic Vandals, Immortal Soldierz, U-Dawg, and others but was looking for more artist not yet famous maybe even local underground qwik tongue flippers in different cities who just released 1 or 2 cds but are worth listening to is what I am looking for.

Yes old Bone Thugs N Harmony (Eternal 1999) also the Family Scripture album in 1996 was dope too.

CunninLynguists has my style of music. I make beats similar to Wu-Tang, Jedi Mind Tricks, and Kno from CunninLynguists. I have some Necro type beats too. The death rap king lol. I like Ill Bills old album from 2004. Necro can't spit but he was funny on albums like I Need Drugs and The Pre Fix To Death. Beats were sick too. Circle Of Tyrants was another good album from Psychological records as well.

Actually I don't really like necro lol, I only find the song 'World Gone Mad' other than that, the whole death rap thing ain't for me.
