    The Tao of Wu By The RZA iz Mind Blowing

    Wu Tang Manual is great also Though the best book I read on Hip-Hop, easily, is "How To Rap: The Art & Science of the Hip-Hop MC" It's made up from interviews with over 100 MCs, people like Big Daddy Kane, Chuck D, Mobb Deep, Pharoahe Monch, Royce Da 5'9", Crooked I, Tribe Called Quest...

    Kool G Rap interview about MCing

    To me, Big Pun and RA The Rugged Man are the dudes who have the most obvious G Rap influence in their rhymes, though they're both incredibly dope and bring like a twist on the style so it's their version of it

    Kool G Rap interview about MCing

    Word, I'd even say that in some ways G Rap kinda ruined other rappers music for me... because now I'm only impressed if I hear the type of complex rhyme schemes I hear on a G Rap record and there's only like 0 other rappers that do it on that level, so now everything else seems half-baked to me

    Big Daddy Kane interview on MCing

    Word Was this concert meant to have happened when Jay-Z was still the hype man for Big Daddy Kane? If so, there is no chance Jay "destroyed" BDK in concert because at the time Jay was still rhyming like a sloppy version of Jaz-O - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4odAKG0QFEQ Or like a Das EFX...

    Big Daddy Kane interview on MCing

    Word, Biggie had a complex flow though, and used his voice very well... and as Kane says, he was direct and got his point across clearly. It's different methods for different MCs

    Big Daddy Kane interview on MCing

    True, though I think it's probably particularly annoying for BDK when people buy into the whole "writing in my head" thing when it's to do with Jay-Z, because Jay-Z used to be Kane's hype man And Kane can rap circles around Jay-Z

    Big Daddy Kane interview on MCing

    Word, I wish more MCs would go back and learn from the masters, instead of just copying whoever is hot right now

    “Today’s MCs can’t even last a minute with the MCs from back in the day.”

    Check it out 10 years from now, G Rap, Kane, Rakim will still be up there in the top 10 convo None of the dudes now will be That's just how it works kid, I seen it happen over and over In the late 90s a load of dudes were like, "these old rappers are washed up! Mase is the greatest rapper!"...

    “Today’s MCs can’t even last a minute with the MCs from back in the day.”

    Dudes like G Rap, Rakim, and Big Daddy Kane were in peoples top 10 lists in the '80s And they were in peoples top 10 lists in the '90s They were in peoples top 10 lists in the '00s And they're still in peoples top 10 lists in the '10s All these other dudes come and go, but these guys are...

    No, but he's also better at doing the things he invented He puts together more rhyming words than Eminem He tells better stories and street tales than Nas He has cleverer and funny metaphors than Canibus AND he influenced them all, so all that combined puts him ahead
