Hip Hop Forum

An emcee. Someone who writes poetry and speaks it to a rhythm. Underrated artform, a way of self expression through creative lyricism. Associated uncorrectly with overuse of swear words and talking about drugs and bitches: this only applies to a minority of rappers.

Just make a giant list of underground rappers with talent, so people know what to look for

Take samples of my dna, new borns, grow horns, placed in uniforms,
Shipped off to the military, with they killed and buried...
Active tv sets will be watching us, just as we watched them,
They will also report back to the beast at computer headquarters,
Out telephone conversations will be automatically wire taped,
And transcripted by the national security agency,
Honesty, modesty, poverty, famine,

Killah Priest Off Heavy Mental which came out before the iraq war. What a prophet, eh?

not really safe to call him underground but he isnt mainstream either so ill just post him here to get your attention.. my nigga SunNY has potential like hell but his promotion staff sucks ass obviously check out SunN.Y - Soul Of A Hustla, pretty old but i still listen to it.

his album was horrible it had nothing to do with promotion

and you can't buy masters of the universe, just look online for it, binary star got jerked and never got a cent of the profits from the distributor and it sold a shitload of copies, thats one of the reasons why they broke up

Its on amazon, but yah, see post below

Don't buy it, It's pointless dudes ain't getting any money from it

I'll look up there site later, its Free on their cause they got dicked

Basically what killah said, but heres the wikipedia for them

The duo started as an independent record label group, under their own Terrorist Records imprint. In 1999, they released Waterworld, which was recorded on a budget of only $500, because they could only afford studio time for a single take per song. All 17 tracks were produced by Trackezoids, formerly known as Held Hostage Productions. Only 1,000 copies were printed. Later on, they were signed up by a distributor. This allowed Binary Star to re-mix and re-arrange the WaterWorld tracks and also add new ones. The final creation was Masters of the Universe. It sold over 20,000 copies, but Binary Star was never paid by the distributor. The album was released after the group had broken up almost a year ago. OneManArmy states that the main reason for the break-up was on creative differences, and says that although him and Silla have never had an unfriendly conversation, they have done venues together, but the group will stay disbanded. Currently, OneManArmy records under the name of One Be Lo under Subterraneous Records. Senim Silla is coming out with a new album soon under Sleeper Cell Records.

senims locked up for something now
