The Choice Is Yours "Engine Engine Number 9, On the New York Transit Line, If that train falls off the track Pick it up! Pick it Up! Pick It Up!!!!" Sorry I used to love when this part came! 5.Digable Planets- Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat) Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat) "We be to rap what key be to lock" "Ask butta how I zone.. man Cleopatra Jones" "7 and a crescent" 6.

Eric B & Rakim- Follow The Leader Follow The Leader Just... DAMN! Good Lord... If rappers were like him.. good lord!!! unh... His flow is freakin RIDICULOUS!!!!

" I got a question... serious as cancer" 9. Queen latifah- Ladies First Ladies First Queen Latifah] The ladies will kick it, the rhyme that is wicked Those that don't know how to be pros get evicted A woman can bear you, break you, take you Now it's time to rhyme, can you relate to A sister dope enough to make you holler and scream [Monie Love] Ayo, let me take it from here, Queen... Excuse me but I think I'm about do To get into precisely what I am about to do I'm conversating to the folks that have no whatsoever clue So listen very carefully as I break it down for you Merrily merrily merrily merrily hyper happy overjoyed Pleased with all the beats and rhymes my sisters have employed Slick and smooth throwing down the sound totally a yes Let me state the position: Ladies first, yes? (Yes) (Yeah, there's going to be some changes in here) [Monie Love] Believe me when I say being a woman is great, you see I know all the fellas out there will agree with me Not for being one but for being with one Because when it's time for loving it's the woman that gets some Strong, stepping, strutting, moving on Rhyming, cutting, and not forgetting We are the ones that give birth To the new generation of prophets because it's Ladies First [Queen Latifah] I break into a lyrical freestyle Grab the mic, look into the crowd and see smiles Cause they see a woman standing up on her own two Sloppy slouching is something I won't do Some think that we can't flow (can't flow) Stereotypes, they got to go (got to go) I'm a mess around and flip the scene into reverse (With what?) With a little touch of "Ladies First" Who said the ladies couldn't make it, you must be blind If you don't believe, well here, listen to this rhyme Ladies first, there's no time to rehearse I'm divine and my mind expands throughout the universe A female rapper with the message to send the Queen Latifah is a perfect specimen [Monie Love] My sister, can I get some? [Queen Latifah] Sure, Monie Love, grab the mic and get dumb [Monie Lovie] Yo, praise me not for simply being what I am Born in L-O-N-D-O-N and sound American You dig exactly where I'm coming from You want righteous rhyming, Imma give you some To enable you to aid yourself and get paid And the material that has no meaning I wish to slay Pay me every bit of your attention Like mother, like daughter, I would also like to mention I wish for you to bring me to, bring me to the rhythm Of which is now systematically given Desperately stressing I'm the daughter of a sister Who's the mother of a brother who's the brother of another Plus one more; all four Have a job to do, we doing it Respect due, to the mother who's the root of it And next up is me, the M-O-N-I-E L-O-V-E And I'm first cause I'm a L-A-D-I-E [Queen Latifah] Contact and in fact, the style, it gets harder Cooling on the scene with my European partner Laying down track after track, waiting for the climax When I get there, that's when I tax The next man, or the next woman It doesn't make a difference, keep the competition coming And I'll recite the chapter in verse The title of this recital is "Ladies First" Okay just for fun: Remember this ??? UTFO- Roxanne RoxanneRoxanne Roxanne KRS "The Bridge Is Over" and Roxanne Shante's "Have A Nice Day"KRS and Roxanne Shante  Peace, Khalliqa "The Goddess emerges as the evanescence of the inferior dissipates....

Outside of NY & tri-state, does anybody remember "The Power" by Chill Rob G? Not the one by Snap, but the original one, which Snap stole from Chill Rob G, and which came out a few months before?
Lyrically it was similar to the "Snap" version, but hotter, grittier, and more real. It contained this nugget... Young boy without substance or content U need to slow your speed, stop the nonsense These are the words or the risin' sun, surprisin' son Who thought I was just another humdrum? I'll take a page, write a phrase, and rephrase it Treat it like a national flag and upraise it So a nation of people can feel proud About a brotha that speaks out freedom loud ____________________________________________________ |

 *Khalliqa head nods* Gentlemen... don't you miss hip hop that you could identify with and feel? That had relevance? Do you think its possible to resuscitate conscious rap? I mean a lot of these guys were influenced by 5% or were members of the parliament... so conscious rap came about because... well... guys were more conscious... Hip hop as a form is something I can get with, especially when it is layered with jazz, conscious lyrics, powerful classy styles and grooves .... What are your thoughts?
