Video: Slaughterhouse on What City Breeds the Best Lyricists
How is this even up for debate? New York City, end of discussion. I would probably put L.A. and Detroit in #2 and 3 spots, but not neccessarily in that order…Sheeeit, I might even put NY in the #1 and 2 spots and then start listing the runners up at #3.

^
i keep hearin about it. any good? i might have to find that.
***pretty good- it intersplices the narrative/video/commentary from his rise and fall from power, with his 2004 run for city council…I think HBO has it on demand, by now, but it debuted last Sunday…Barry was such a political outsider, and longshot for mayor, that it wasn’t even funny..he got into office by challenging the status quo- rich lightskinned niggas and crackers who ran the city, and appealing to the black majority (70%), most of whom lived in poverty, hidden far behind the shadows of the city’s monuments…

^Yo, this documentary blew my mind. I can clearly see how he was able to be re-elected after being caught with crack. But I don’t see how he was elected as city council in ’04.
But whats worst than that is that in ’08, when we voted Obama into office, Ward 8 voted him back as City Council again. That motherfucker is still in office as we speak. That shit is mind blowing

Marion Barry was born in Itta Bena, Mississippi, the third of ten children.[1][2] His father died when he was four years old, and a year later his mother moved the family to Memphis, Tennessee.[2] He had a number of jobs as a child, including picking cotton, delivering and selling newspapers, and bagging groceries.[2] While in high school, Barry worked as a waiter at the American Legion post and at the Boy Scouts earned the rank of Eagle Scout.[2][3][2]
Barry went to LeMoyne College (now LeMoyne-Owen College), graduating in 1958.[1] While at LeMoyne, his ardent support of the civil rights movement earned him the nickname “Shep”, in reference to Soviet propagandist Dmitri Shepilov.[1] Barry began using Shepilov as his middle name.[1] In 1958 at LeMoyne, he criticized a college trustee for remarks he felt were demeaning to African Americans, which nearly caused his expulsion.[2]
Barry also earned a Masters of Science in organic chemistry from Fisk University[1] in 1960. Barry is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha, the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity founded by African Americans. After graduating from Fisk, Barry joined the American civil rights movement, focusing on the elimination of the racial segregation of bus passengers. He was elected the first chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). Barry began a doctoral program at the University of Kansas, but he quit the program when white parents opposed him tutoring their children.[2] He began doctoral chemistry studies at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, the only African American in the class.[2] There too he was prohibited from tutoring white children, and his wife was not allowed to work at the school.[2] He quit the program in favor of his new duties at SNCC. During his time leading SNCC, Barry led protests against racial segregation and discrimination.[2]
In 1965, Barry moved to Washington, D.C. to open a local chapter of SNCC, where he was heavily involved in coordinating peaceful street demonstrations as well as a boycott to protest bus fare increases.[3] He also served as the leader of the Free D.C. Movement, strongly supporting increased home rule for the District.[4][3] Barry quit SNCC in 1967, when H. Rap Brown became chairman of the group.[3] Two years later, Barry and Mary Treadwell cofounded Pride Inc., a federally funded program to provide job training to unemployed black men.[2] Barry and Treadwell married in 1972, and separated five years later.[2]

Havent watched this video yet but to the writer here riding NY’s DICK>……get gamed up homie. Everywhere breeds spitters. At this point in the game, most NY (well most rappers period) are corny as FUCK! There’s a few….Styles and Jada, Immortal Technique, Joell Ortiz, Torae, Skyzoo,all of the Wu, Saigon, just to name a few. Dtroit is not all that ur makin it out to be. Royce is a beast on the mic but the fact that he’s a lil bitch kinda dilutes that. Em will always b King of the D. LA…..please. Aside from Crooked (who re-defines beast and is probably the sickest rapper out), there’s only a handfull of real talent – Kurupt (actually he’s from Philly), Ras Kass…….damn thats it!! Joe Buddens weak ass should NOT b in this group of giants. He’s a peasant rapper. Pathetic.
But why y’all sleepin on the Bay. I admit that hyphy shit made us look retarded in my opinion, forever catagorizing us as simple minded, one-theme rappers. Cant even call those cats emcess. But fuckin Zion I, ESPECIALLY the big homie San Quinn, X-Raided (Sacramento but close enuf), The Grouch, Yukmouth, The Jacka and people like Topr and a hella others that y’all aint heard of ’cause the Bay gets hated on so hard and put to the sideline and ignored. But hey, if Royce is so raw how come my Oakland nigga ATE him in a rap battle to the poi t where Royce got all butt-hurt and made a diss track. U think it’s all faggots in Frisco?! Come to where I stay bitch. In fact roam most of the City at night alone and see what happens. Niggas out here are hungry!! And all them faggots move here from towns like yours. I was born, raised and still stayin SF and not a single person I was raised around turned out gay. Get past the bullshit u bitxhes. Bay is wsup. O yea….FUCK OBIE TRICE!! Talkin dat shit in ur comfortable radio station, u get caught on the street here it’s a green light on u. Done Deal!!!!!! Dont even try to come back here after dat punk shit u was talkin u bitch.

lmfao look sometimes wifey will cop some cheap cuts like this and put it in the slow cooker all day with some sauces, onions, etc. and 12 hours later the shit will be delcious but if you’re talking skrate up steak, this shit is an abomination. cube steak is cubed up because it’s from every random part of the cow. shit might be the muscle that’s attached to the testicles. who knows(?) it’s been cubed. it’s only one step removed from gyros. for steak, i fucks with t-bone — that shit is delish.

A Brooklyn performance artist’s latest act is fake “candy crack” drug deals – riling neighborhood activists who don’t think illegal narcotics are a laughing matter.
Every other Saturday night, Nate Hill delivers $1 bags of “crack” – really crystallized sugar – to anyone in Williamsburg and Greenpoint who calls in an order.
Dressed in a white tuxedo and a white dolphin headpiece, he shows up between the hours of 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., just like a many real drug pushers.

Havent watched this video yet but to the writer here riding NY’s DICK>……get gamed up homie. Everywhere breeds spitters. At this point in the game, most NY (well most rappers period) are corny as FUCK! There’s a few….Styles and Jada, Immortal Technique, Joell Ortiz, Torae, Skyzoo,all of the Wu, Saigon, just to name a few. Dtroit is not all that ur makin it out to be. Royce is a beast on the mic but the fact that he’s a lil bitch kinda dilutes that. Em will always b King of the D. LA…..please. Aside from Crooked (who re-defines beast and is probably the sickest rapper out), there’s only a handfull of real talent – Kurupt (actually he’s from Philly), Ras Kass…….damn thats it!! Joe Buddens weak ass should NOT b in this group of giants. He’s a peasant rapper. Pathetic.
But why y’all sleepin on the Bay. I admit that hyphy shit made us look retarded in my opinion, forever catagorizing us as simple minded, one-theme rappers. Cant even call those cats emcess. But fuckin Zion I, ESPECIALLY the big homie San Quinn, X-Raided (Sacramento but close enuf), The Grouch, Yukmouth, The Jacka and people like Topr and a hella others that y’all aint heard of ’cause the Bay gets hated on so hard and put to the sideline and ignored. But hey, if Royce is so raw how come my Oakland nigga ATE him in a rap battle to the poi t where Royce got all butt-hurt and made a diss track. U think it’s all faggots in Frisco?! Come to where I stay bitch. In fact roam most of the City at night alone and see what happens. Niggas out here are hungry!! And all them faggots move here from towns like yours. I was born, raised and still stayin SF and not a single person I was raised around turned out gay. Get past the bullshit u bitxhes. Bay is wsup. O yea….FUCK OBIE TRICE!! Talkin dat shit in ur comfortable radio station, u get caught on the street here it’s a green light on u. Done Deal!!!!!! Dont even try to come back here after dat punk shit u was talkin u bitch.

I think everyone stopped reading after you said “Bay” the first time. gtfoh

August 14th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
to put reed dollaz and meek millz against jay and big is like putting lenny cooke(do the reasearch !) against Lebron.. lenny was good against the lil niggas, but shit aint pan out ya feel me?

>>Havent watched this video yet but to the writer here riding NY’s DICK>……get gamed up homie. Everywhere breeds spitters.
how could I ride my own city’s dick? kill yourself twice. sure, there are spitters everywhere, but no city on earth has bred as many spitters as New York, period.
August 14th, 2009 at 5:13 pm
I don’t even know why this is a topic…lolol
NYC…PERIOD and not just bc I’m from there AND we started the culture…
but in terms of lyrical prowess…from Big L, to BIG to Nas to Hov to Gza to BDK to FKN RAKIM!!!! to the new cats like Joel Ortiz, etc…NY is King.
however based on real lyricism and the HISTORY of it..me personally i rank it like this
NY
LA/Chicago (tie – Common & NWA warrants this)
Philly
Atlanta (Dungeon Family warrants this)
Texas…
Then whatever else you want to add…

Hey oatz u punk bitch. Open ur fuckin mind!! Go cop some San Quinn, Equipto, old Nickatina/Dre Dog, Living Legends, The jacka, Planet Asia, The Luniz and actually LISTEN to that shit. Then try to tell me the Bay dont got spitters. Whats fucked up is Bay niggaz give it up for people from everywhere, when we got some of the best and STILL get hated on. WTF?? Personally, I think 80% of the rappers that are popular in the Bay r weak and on sum bullshit. And thats what makes us look bad to ignorant punks like u. Open ur fuckin minds man. People said the same shit about Detroit and Chicago 15 yrs ago and now look whats goin on. Y’alll r fuckin idiots. I’ll b a TRUE fan of hip-hop for life and will never hate on any dope emcee just ’cause of where they from. So to that lil BITCH “oatz” and everyone else whose talkin shit – FUCK U!! Keep ridin alll these places dicks til all that shit gets played out and then you’ll end up lookin to us and sayin “damn, it’s been hella talent here for yrs”. One more thing, if y’all were really fans of Crooked I and bumped his shit you’d hear that he gives hella love to the Bay on hella songs. And let’s not forget the fact that ALL you bitch niggaz stole our slanguage. Credit please? Fuckin punks.
August 16th, 2009 at 2:55 am
and to that shit talkin NY dick riding BITCH ajust – San Quinn, Topr, and Equipto will eat most rappers PERIOD. Ny, Detroit, wherever. Fucked up part is I love GZA, Wu, Killah Priest, damn near everyone from Philly, Apathy…..goes on and on. I love East Coast and Midwest shit. And real niggaz r startin to finally b up on game about Bay niggaz. E-40 got signed with Lil Jon (but now his shit kinda sucks I’ll admit), The Jacka’s been fuckin with Cormega and theyve collabed on hella shit. So has Freeway. Let’s not forget Method Man colabbin with Spice 1 back in 95. Real mafuckas know what time it is. Redmans been featured on some Bay complilations. So keep runnin ur mouth u piece of shit.
August 16th, 2009 at 12:58 pm
I’ll go (if we’re talking the last five years)…If it’s all-time, it’s NYC hands down in my opinion.

7. D.C.
