Signifying Rapper by Schooly D

Licensed to Ill is some classic shit! And I like Paul's Boutique, too.

Don't you mean The Leaders of The New School.
Come on now, get it straight.

He must be talking bout Busta's part where it started his solo carreer from,, " The Scenario"

In my opinion the best rap song.. ever...is my mind's playing tricks on me.. by the ghetto boys...

That shit is so real.. is not even funny...

Not enough people give Beastie Boys credit for pioneering hip hop,

Beastie Boys and Run DMC turned rap into the mainstream radio stations

I thought that was Q-tip's

I was waitng for him to figure that out on his own but
that probably would have taken all night...

Black moon- I got ya open
50 cent- how to rob
eminem- I am
Alcoholiks- Only when Im drunk
Pharcyde-Passin me by
Mobb deep- Get away
D.O.C- The formula
tupac-I aint mad at ya
Too short- Gettin it
Wu tang - Cream
South central cartel - Servin em heat
MC Eiht- Duck sick (all of em)
Az- (not jay-z)- Sugar hill
Biggie -Big Popa
Brotha lynch- Loc to the brain
Celly Cell- Its goin down tonight
dj-quick Tonite
devin the dude- Do what the fuck you wanna do
Ghetto boys- My mind playin tricks on me
Goodie mob cell therapy
Grand puba- slow down
Slick rick- Rick the rula
Ice cube - The nigga ya love to hate
Ugk- Pocket full of stones
Scarface-finer things
Redman-time for some action



Ah fuck man the list goes on and on and on.

All KRS1

Ditto.

I figured he was confusing The Scenario (remix) as a group song. But you can't go on living a hip hop lifestyle without knowing about The Leaders.

its exactly where it started from. his appearance on tribes album got him far more exposure then anything he ever did with leaders.

The Low End Theory - Scenario (tribe's 1st CD)
Release date: 09.24.91
Label: Jive Records
Distributor: BMG
Mono/Stereo: Stereo

A Future Without A Past... (leaders 1st album drops)
Release date: 06.14.91
Label: Elektra Entertainment
Distributor: WEA
Mono/Stereo: Stereo

3 months apart. Scenario was realeaed about the same time as future without a past as an EP. And If i do recall correctly, scenario video hit mtv and scenario single hit radio before anything leaders put out

no, my life doesn't revolve around gfy so i don't sit here and refresh threads in anticipation of being able to reply

The list goes for a while but i still think one of the best lines in rap history is from 50 cent how to rob on his old album that goes. I have dreams of fuckin an r&b bitch then i wake up early and bounce with all her shit. or I ran up on timberland and missy showed em the pound like you gimmie the cash you put the hot dog down. If you havent heard it. Go find it. The song is funnier than hell.

2 Live Crew - Me So Horny :thumbsup
Naughty By Nature - OPP

suck my dick bitch, suck my diiiiiiiiiiickkkkkkkkkkkk!

You haven't recalled anything correctly through out this thread,
what makes you think you can start now? Tap out, your done!

I thik one of his best rhymes is the: I love you like a fat kid loves cake!

I think THAT rocks! =)

I agree thats probably the best analogy i've ever heard in a rap song.

That is the jam....

Oh yeah.... Sir Mix A Lot - I Like Big Butts :)

Every song u mentioned is about chicks :Graucho

ahahah..fuckin amateurs..sometimes MTV is a curse

Grandmaster Flash - White Lines (Don't Don't Do It)
:thumbsup

:1orglaugh ... ok how about NWA's Fuck The Police

funk dubious

Are you a moron? You replied 4 times already!

Good try, if you were in 2nd grade at the time say so and I will give you a pass.

Leaders had a couple songs buzzing before the Scenario Remix.

"Case Of The P. T. A." was on Yo MTV Raps (the only voice of hip hop on MTV at the time) non-stop in 1991 There was also a lead off single called "A Sobb Story" but it was only played by NY djs at the time.

-insert Scenario here. mid 1992 release. Late 1992 chart peak.

"What's Next" on Leaders second album picked up and blasted Busta off fully in 1993 which allowed him to sign his solo deal with Elektra records. This was also an MTV and BET video classic.

Too short had this one song back in 91 i think.. bitch aint nothing but a word.. it is bad ass.. it is crazy.. it gets me going.. and right after that track he has one with ice cube.. bitch killa pretty crazy too!

NWA and many of their great songs like

...bitch iz a bitch
...str8 out of compton
...fuck the police
...100 miles running
...real niggaz dont die

and much more...

too many to chose just a few
