      @@ockbah wow dude, thanks for sharing that! watched it all. Very cool. There is definitely tons of skill and dedication in that. The main skill being the mixing and arranging of the instrumentation.. which a musician/band also does ON TOP of learning the actual skill required to play the instrument they play. At which point one could argue "yeah but J was only one person" which is a fair counterargument but then I invite you to check out Tame Impala, who writes, plays, arranges, records, and mixes every single piece of music and rhythm on his record himself.

      My First Worship and Sex Mother Monica ("The First Night," "Angel of Mine," and MANY other classics) made this instrumental beat "Dead Presidents." She made it for ME, her son and only child EVER, Jah Jesus Christ Snoop Doggy Dogg. She made it in '94. I was supposed to Rap on it and it was supposed to be released on my '94 Snoop Doggy Dogg album "Murder Was The Case," but Jay-Z stole this beat from us and Rapped on it and released it as a Jay-Z song in '95 on his '95 album "Reasonable Doubt." My name is Nishith Vijay and my First Worship and Sex Mother Monica's name is Ritu Vijay.

    that last hit, that we took.
    You cross my mind every time I rhymes in my books,
    cant nobody feel the pain or all the times that I shook,
    in my sleep.

    had me wondering if i'd die like you did in these streets. - Rip to my older brother Saia

      I know there are ALOT more beats for people and me personally as well, but at the very least, to me, these are some of the greatest rap/hip-hop beats
      Of course there's Eminem, wu-tang, NWA, the game, MC eiht, 2pac, biggie, immortal technique, bone thugs, and countless other older, younger, AND underground artists that have plenty of great beats; but to me these are some of the top ones, if that's even possible

    Fuck y'all mean? Handling since a teen, I dish out
    Like the point guard off your favorite team, without doubt
    My life ain't rosy but I roll with it
    My mind was fine 'til the dough hit it and told me that the Mo' did it
    And now it's kosher, shit is so Hasidic
    I blow a digit on a diamond in a minute but no bitches
    Watch how I'm walking cause even the thoroughest niggas be narc'in
    Tryin' to strike a bargain hoping that they might get pardoned
    Shit I'm involved with got me pins and needles
    And my cerebral breeds the wickedest evil thoughts that this sport'll feed you
    Peep facts, in the game so deep fiends could catch ya
    Freeze off my knee cap, can y'all believe that?
    Got the city drinking Cristals, re-up the fee
    Rappers going broke, tryin' to keep up with me
    My rise to riches surprised the bitches: think harder
    You know this nigga, Jay-Z, Shawn Carter
    G.S. the fuck up, dress the fuck up
    Watch me shine like a Breitling, begets the fuck up
    All rhymers forget it like Alzheimer's
    Small timers, I said it, I'm addressing all dramas, talk to me
    I'm out for presidents to represent me
    I'm out for presidents to represent me
    I'm out for presidents to represent me
    I'm out for dead fuckin' presidents to represent me
    I'm out for presidents to represent me
    I'm out for presidents to represent me
    I'm out for presidents to represent me
    I'm out for dead fuckin' presidents to represent me
    So sick of niggas, "I want money like Cosby" (who wouldn't?)
    This the kinda talk that make me think you probably ain't got no puddin'
    Niggas got them kinda dreams from Jay
    You in the streets, nigga, make your moves, get your mail
    Niggas'll coast in the SL but can't post bail
    Niggas'll roast a L but scared to throw your toast, well
    I'm here to tell niggas it ain't all swell
    There's heaven, and then there's hell niggas
    One day you're cruising in your 7, next day you're sweating, forgetting your lies
    Alibis ain't matching up, bullshit catching up
    Hit with the RICO, they repo your vehicle
    Everything was all good just a week ago
    'Bout to start bitching ain't you? Ready to start snitching ain't you?
    I'll forgive your weak ass; hustling just ain't you
    Aside from the fast cars, honeys that shake they ass at bars
    You know you wouldn't be involved
    With the underworld dealers, carriers of mac-millers
    East Coast bodiers, West Coast cap-peelers
    Little monkey niggas turn gorillas
    Stopped at the station, filled up on octane
    And now they not sane and not playing, that goes without saying
    Slingin' day in and day out, 'til money play in, then they play you out
    Trying to escape my own mind, lurking the enemy
    Representing infinity with presidencies, you know?
    Dead fuckin' presidents to represent me
    Dead fuckin' presidents to represent me
    Dead fuckin' presidents to represent me
    Dead fuckin' presidents to represent me
    I'm out for presidents to represent me
    I'm out for presidents to represent me
    I'm out for presidents to represent me
    I'm out for presidents to represent me
    I'm out for presidents to represent me
    I'm out for presidents to represent me
    I'm out for presidents to represent me

    Remniscing over the top, tryin stop this vision
    No one to listen and now dont even got a pot to piss in
    I was top condition never worried bout opposition
    Used to glisten till you left this earth
    But for what its worth i was here n now it fucking hurts
    I dont know whats worse,
    Using these words , my voice will never be heard,
    Its absurd , sleepin on the curb ,is this the life i deserve
    I dont even know ,
    My paths through sleet n snow
    U watched me eat n grow
    So now i guess i gotta leave n go

    damn this beat tickles my throat. you get transported to an unknown place, where everything is black and white, it's after rain. early in the morning, not many people outside. couple of dudes on the block, leaning against the wall, smoking. you haven't slept all night because you've been working on something and you're satisfied with what you have done in life. you walk to the store to pick up a bottle of beer and you're gonna go home, let the cool beer run through your throat and fall asleep. then you'll wake in the afternoon and get back to work. and repeat.
    ps: sounds so much like something j dilla would've produced.

      "Brace yourself for the main event
      Y'all impatiently waiting
      It's like an AIDS test, what's the results?
      Not positive, who's the best? Pac, Nas and Big
      Ain't no best, East, West, North, South, flossed out, greedy
      I embrace y'all with napalm
      Blows up, no guts, left chest, face gone
      How could Nas be garbage?
      Semi-autos at your cartilage
      Burner at the side of your dome, come outta my throne
      I got this, locked since '9-1
      I am the truest, name a rapper that I ain't influenced
      Gave y'all chapters but now I keep my eyes on the Judas
      With Hawaiin Sophie fame, kept my name in his music
      Check it
      I've been fucked over, left for dead, dissed and forgotten
      Luck ran out, they hoped that I'd be gone, stiff and rotten
      Y'all just piss on me, shit on me, spit on my grave (uh)
      Talk about me, laugh behind my back but in my face
      Y'all some "well wishers, " friendly acting, envy hiding snakes
      With your hands out for my money, man, how much can I take?
      When these streets keep calling, heard it when I was sleep
      That this Gay-Z and Cockafella Records wanted beef
      Started cocking up my weapon, slowly loading up this ammo
      To explode it on a camel, and his soldiers, I can handle
      This for dolo and it's manuscript, just sound stupid
      When KRS already made an album called Blueprint
      First, Biggie's ya man, then you got the nerve to say that you better than Big
      Dick sucking lips, whyn't you let the late, great veteran live
      Y'all niggas deal with emotions like bitches
      What's sad is I love you 'cause you're my brother
      You traded your soul for riches
      My child, I've watched you grow up to be famous
      And now I smile like a proud dad, watching his only son that made it
      You seem to be only concerned with dissing women
      Were you abused as a child, scared to smile, they called you ugly?
      Well life is hard, hug me, don't reject me
      Or make records to disrespect me, blatant or indirectly
      In '88 you was getting chased through your building
      Calling my crib and I ain't even give you my numbers
      All I did was gave you a style for you to run with
      Smiling in my face, glad to break bread with the god
      Wearing Jaz chains, no tecs, no cash, no cars
      No jail bars Jigga, no pies, no case
      Just Hawaiian shirts, hanging with little Chase
      You a fan, a phony, a fake, a pussy, a Stan
      I still whip your ass, you thirty-six in a karate class
      You Tae-bo hoe, trying to work it out, you tryna' get brolic?
      Ask me if I'm trying to kick knowledge
      Nah, I'm trying to kick the shit you need to learn though
      That ether, that shit that make your soul burn slow
      Is he Dame Diddy, Dame Daddy or Dame Dummy?
      Oh, I get it, you Biggie and he's Puffy
      Rockafeller died of AIDS, that was the end of his chapter
      And that's the guy y'all chose to name your company after?
      Put it together, I rock hoes, y'all rock fellas
      And now y'all try to take my spot, fellas?
      Philly's hot rock fellas, put you in a dry spot, fellas
      In a pine box with nine shots from my glock, fellas
      Foxy got you hot 'cause you kept your face in her puss
      What you think, you getting girls now 'cause of your looks?
      Ne-gro please
      You no mustache having, with whiskers like a rat
      Compared to Beans you wack
      And your man stabbed Un and made you take the blame
      You ass, went from Jaz to hanging with Caine, to Herb, to Big
      And, Eminem murdered you on your own shit
      You a dick-riding fagot, you love the attention
      Queens niggas run you niggas, ask Russell Simmons
      Ha, R-O-C get gunned up and clapped quick
      J.J. Evans get gunned up and clapped quick
      Your whole damn record label gunned up and clapped quick
      Shaun Carter to Jay-Z, damn you on Jaz dick
      So little shorty's getting gunned up and clapped quick
      How much of Biggie's rhymes is goin' come out your fat lips?
      Wanted to be on every last one of my classics
      You pop shit, apologize, nigga, just ask Kiss" - Nas

    Focusing my mind on Dead Presidents,
    While every other rappers live life irrelevant,
    There cranium be corrupted; be filled with dents,
    Living my life lavish - all derived from a pen.
    Thinking about random ideas and I hesitate;
    To drop a niggas life and watch his body elevate,
    Inspired by legends with this pathway to emulate,
    A new breed of rap - Watch me begin and to create,
    Introduce a new vision and I hope I'm not too late,
    With these hoes I like to conversate but, will never take,
    The love-life which always ends with divorce as fate.
    My mind be filled with thoughts with this stressful mental state,
    Decrypting words of wisdom I constantly translate,
    Dome coated with the roughness; I'm talking about sand papes.
    Illustrate blurry imagery as I eventually portray,
    Homeless individuals strolling through these switchblades.
    So?
