Who are you and what have you done with Guru? Seriously, we go from the emotional rollercoaster ride of thinkin' we're gonna lose one of the game's greatest MCs to some sick pathetic soap opera involving a man of no blood or kin relation denying family members the right to see their loved one. Now yes Keith Elam may not wanna reconcile with folks he hasn't been on good terms with for the past seven years but that's his decision not yours. From the outside lookin' in, you seem really shady. And if Guru's nephew claim is true that you signed documents as Keith Elam's brother and your wife as his sister than that's just plain alarming. An abuse of power. Releasing statements to websites and official Twitter accounts in Guru's name when he doesn't appear to be able to speak on his own behalf is also misleading and completely wrong. Be clear: At this point the only thing relevant and important is the status of Guru's health. Nobody gives a fuck about you or 7 Grand. Guru's legacy is Gang Starr. DJ Premier and Guru made classics. You and Guru make crap. And you should get slapped for meddling in family business.You Played Yourself
I'm not dissin' but you shoulda stayed missing. Everybody in the club get tipsy. Nobody in the club remember your name. Damn shame.

paychexx I think what you meant to say is that Mos and Black had to go hard….they knew they were rhyming with the white boy
^ lmao
Mos & Thought were doper than Eminem, but they all ripped it. I dont really understand how some of yall are acting like Em crushed Black Dante or Tariq. Listen to the content, then marinate on the flows … Em coulda re-taken that verse to get that flow on-point more … but he WAS nasty tho, just not sharper than the other cats
Flow: Em
Lyrics: Mos
Cypher: Black thought… he is the complete deal!
Actually fuck it… All three killed it.
Lets stop the contest & simply enjoy this special moment in hip hop!
If you relly lisin to Ems verse hes actually saying somthing ..wut i got out of it is that hez crazyer now that hes sober…….Nd the line “Beware the wear wolf will kill ya,thats him in his sheeps cloths he just shaved his hair of cecelia” wow tht to me meanz he wuz just chillin on Relapse and hes gona go bizzerk! on R2!!
all 3 killed it but em is the best it was 2 many rememberable lines that made you just forget about what mos and blacc thought was saying Like 2 tell the truth it got better with each person then half way thru im like blacc thought took it then em went to that dali lllama line and the shit was over
look at the vein n the side of eminems necc its like rapping is how he breahes and if he doesnt rhyme a word fast enough he going to sufficate all i can say is that this shit was the Highlight of the Night and Cube Speech the crowd in Atlanta is dead like they are no where near as loud as the crowd in la niggas was asking the crowd to join in you couldnt even hear them I mean Snoop did Gin N Juice and nobody wasnt even rapping along to it and i thought the crowd wouldve went ham when Gucci Was up there but it didnt like they act like they too good to cheer and applaud and shit they need to move that shit to New York or Philly or LA or Miami somewhere else
but this by far was the highlight of the night Ice Cube acceptance speech and TI acceptance speech everything else was boring i turned to the lakers game waitin for em’s cypha and Nipsey Hussle Verse on Dorrough shit
yea but who won lyricist of the year
[...] Rippage courtesy of RR [...]
Were these ALL supposed to be FREESTYLES? I’m only asking because at the 1:57 mark you can see Mos Def hit black thought’s punchline.
WOW !! so cool~ three guys did their own thing. But i wanna raise EM’s hands. His lyrics is briliant not just joking around & most of all, his flow is really awsome. EMINEM is still EMINEM. It makes me exciting that R2 will be coming soon.
EMINEM DID GREAT BUT I THINK MOS DEF GOT EVERYBODY IN THE ENTIRE CYPHER.
EMINEM FUCKIN DESTROYED THAT SHITTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That Yankee fitted is not a good look for the Phillies…
..but I guess this was pretaped…
…but its still not a good lok at all. haha.
Honestly this was Mos Def chance to outshine Em, and didn’t. Remember a few months back he said he would body any mc in the game and how he started naming who he wanted to battle, this was his chance and he was SOso
Eminem is the greatest rapper to ever grace the face of earth.
Joey went at Jay-Z it feels like..
1.eminem
2.mos def
3.black thought
4.joe budden
5.nipsey hussle
joe Budden murdered this shit the most… cypher with em, black hought and dante was great though
All 3 where dope,but Em fuckin killed it
Joe budden didn’t went at jay, he did that SAME verse on stage and It was Rumored 2 be directed at Rakwuan
Its between Black thought and Eminem, I’d say Em eas good but Black came out on top…I’m a HUGE Eminem fan btw
em killed it
oh shit, what the fuck is going on? eminem ripped it harder than ever
Em murdered this!!! All three ripped it!
slim killlllled it
OMG..WTF..!!
I had to use abbreviations cuz there are no words…EM killed that shit..
Lucky for nigga eminem really like most MC’s he does this with because he inadvertently be manhandling dudes. He’s like Sam I am with a eye brow fake that’s got you all in the air, just to step left and J you.. lol http://www.reverbnation.com/blastmusicconcepts
They were all NICE. And for all you EM stans RELAX! Em is very nice but DAMN….. Just because his flow is like the first white boy that dribbled between his legs in basketball don’t make him the GREATEST. We BEEN doing that. PEACE. Buddens & KRS went in too
First of all…Black Thought has to be the most underrated rapper in the game. This nigga said “bipolar like Phyllis Hyman” (google her) LOL!
Secondly, Em.
Thirdly, (and I ain’t tryna start no beef), but did anybody notice that there were no southern rappers in any of the cyphers? *hmmmm* (just something to chew on).
^ they already used bun b last year who from the south could’ve been there? Maybe luda. Em and budden killed it.
Just happy they put a Tanzanian dude in it!!yep they all killed
Eminem’s verse.
Like a dope fiend,opening up a bottle of Dopamine,
he goes to get the rope to your throat he can choke anything.
Oh and just think, how dope he could be if he smoked anything,
Oh, there goes the bell, the sound of the opening ding.
I hit you as hard as barbiturates in the ribs with a switch,
and stitch you at the same time before you can flinch to it.
My dick is so big if I add another inch to it,
You would swear when I rape you that you were actually into it.
I’m not a baller but you can bet your fuckin bottom dollar,
that I remember when I was without a dollar bill in my wallet.
Now watch me kill a koala, while I maul a chihuahua,
bum a pill off of Paula like let me holla at you mama.
It’s like I’m off the ba-ba when I bring the fuckin drama,
I used to bomb ya like Saddam but now that I’m a little calmer.
I’m a fuckin cross between Osama, Dahmer, Obama, and Dalai Lama,
,told Miley I’m a knight in shining armor.
Mail a gift to Taylor Swift’s trailer, a picture of my genitalia,
with a note sayin bitch I can’t wait to nail ya.
Drug paraphernalia, beware the werewolf will kill ya,
that’s him in his sheep’s clothes he just shaved his hair off, Cecilia.
Eminem was really good, the quality to his voice is just one your not gonna find anywhere else.
Black Thought.. WOW WTF!! He was great but was it just me or did his part take the piss? Or is it just because he came right before Eminem and I was really just waiting for Em lol < Most likely.
Joe Buddden closed that cipher great lol. I was like WOAH nice line.
[...] Swooped from RR [...]
anyone have the mos and black thought lyrics?
Eminem had the best flow and sickest verse!!!!!
who the fuck said Hip Hop is dead oh my GOD!!…this what its all bout…im not even gona judge who the fuck killed who….this shit is CRAZY….i loooove it!!…
Some people will always say that Eminen’s verse is the best, no matter what. I wonder who they are? Hmmmm. The Mighty Mos got geopolitical on muthafucka. Eminem’ s flow was okay, but that psycho shit is boring and tired. Say something out the world, not you mom and ex-wife. Pussy.
^um… were you even listening? he said nothing about his mom or ex-wife. stop, look, and listen before you type kid.
I try not to cuss… I really do…
But Eminem…that nigga is a F**KING BEAST.
End of comment.
Black Thought KILLED IT TOO. Him and Eminem co-mvps. lol
they all killed it, but Thought, sup with the Yankees fitted???? rep your city bruh
@Bo.
Pussy? Don’t you laugh at how nigga’s be talking shit behind a computer screen but got nerve to call someone ELSE a pussy?
Eminem’s verse was ill.
You just don’t understand because you ain’t breaking down his bars, you just think he STRICTLY on some psycho shit.
“I used to bomb ya like Saddam but now that I’m a little calmer.
I’m a fuckin cross between Osama, Dahmer, Obama, and Dalai Lama,”
Eminem’s saying that he used to just straight up unleash on motherfuckas with insatiable rage.
But now that he’s more laid back and just spitting crack bars and still able to kill you…
it’s more sinister. He’s terrorizes/mass murder/inspires and spits clever and wise content.
Don’t sleep on white boy.
That’s my nigga
“I hit you as hard as barbiturates in the ribs with a switch,
and stitch you at the same time before you can flinch to it.
My dick is so big if I add another inch to it,
You would swear when I rape you that you were actually into it.”
Word play was soooooo sick, it just wasn’t even funny.
Who else was looking at the screen not blinking when he was spittin his shit. Niggas mouths was open wide than a hoe and they ain’t even know it.
That taylor swift line was hilariously dope. and the last one was showing that he’s back on that bullshit. Wolf in Sheeps clothing.
Em did damage, Mos was nice, Mouse Budden was almost regular Joe again.
Black Thought really made a case as a Top 10 MC.
look. i love em. since the beginning but he didnt belong in that cypher! he is hard but in a Completly Different way than mos and black. come on….. really… watch that shit again. eminem is rapping like a battle with his slim shady moniker. matter of fact new question. who else would have been better suited to be in eminem’s place. much love to em but….you didnt belong there because your style is soooo left field of theres. tight by itself, a mess amongst the others. case closed.
it’s funny, as you watch it, it doesn’t look like black thought or mos def were really feelin what em was spittin
Black thought is a big Em fan you idiot!
@djdoit
The fact that he uses his slim shady persona means he can’t lose!
Shpke value ftw.
shock value for the win!
Lyrics: Black Thought
Remix.
Rising up outta the flames like a Pheonix.
Straining to carry the weight of my brain like a genius.
Knowing I’m sowing seeds, let’s see who’s thumb is the greenest.
If I said it I mean it, and did it because I need it.
Eat, sleep it and beat it, write it down and then read it.
Asphalt to the cement, your trash talk is deleted.
Blast off, I lay em out like a tempur-pedic.
Black Thought, I told you I’m a winner eventually this,
unsung, underrated, underappreciated.
The one, them under-acheivers had under-estimated.
Finally graduated from something that’s so hated.
To one of the most sacred, nobody gonna take it, face it.
I keep doing it well.
Doing it sans assistance, it’s do it yourself.
Doing it below the radar, we doing it stealth.
Doing it again for Illadelph, and who else.
You see I’m on the job, see my eyes focused where the prize be.
I’m like Martin Luther King, you like Rodney.
The difference is, I give it everything inside me.
Dear Diary, my fans still swear by me.
Even though I’m late night now, like “here’s Johnny”.
Swimming with them great whites now, that’s how to find me.
Funny how it break right down, but never mind me.
I’m forever grimey.
Guess it’s just philly signin.
Roc rolla, Bi Polar like Phylis Hyman.
MOS DEF , BLACK THOUGHT and EM ALL had us sit’n at the T.V. like……DAAAAAMMMM!! Head bob’n HIP-HOP!!!!! I know that Mos and Black was going to rip!
But Em, I like him! Never bought any of his cd’s.He got enough money with out me. But will get his 1st and latest CD.
The thing I like about him. He’s Golf’s Tiger wood! His Tennis’s Venus and Serena I like the fact that his a white kat that spits with the best of MC’s!
Those 3 and KRS1 made the show for me
THE ALL REPRESENTED!!!!!!!
If you love shady..make sure buy Relapse and his next album Realpse 2 . if you saw his Rock the bells and Cypher performance i dont think u need any more skill check to decide the best rapper alive no mattr who ur fav MC is
