DITC Vs. Wu-Tang Clan

In the event of me having to defend King Of tangible in the cafeteria tomorrow and a new DITC album coming out in like 2-3 weeks, I've decided to do a post on who would win in a lunchroom-style battle between my 2 favorite crews in Hip Hop, DITC and the Wu Tang Clan. Obviously I'm not going to do every MC in DITC versus every MC in the Wu, because there's only like 4 compared to 8-9. Of course I've paired cats with their rappin' equivalent in the other crew for maximum accuracy or whatever. Also, I might pop in tomorrow and add pictures for greater effect.

Big L (RIP) vs. GZA
Now this is a pretty hard one. GZA is widely considered to be the best lyricist in the Clan, despite Rae dropping the best solo album (Cuban Linx for the bebbies), and Big L is probably the best punchline rapper in history. But I'm gonna go with the late Lamont Coleman on this one, because while GZA's artistic output totally schools L, his raw talent can't stand up to Corleone's multi-syllabics and abovementioned punchlines. It would be close though, damn close.

Lord Finesse vs. RZA
I think RZA has it on Finesse in this case, primarily because he'd be rhyming about all sorts of weird spaceship shit and Lord wouldn't know what to come back with. Also, RZA is just the better rapper. Not to diss Lord Finesse but I can't remember him having any crazy ass lines like "Here to stop the inauguration of Satan, some say it was Reagan, for I come to slay men"

U-God vs. Fat Joe
When I was talking with Zodiac Digital about this, he said that "U-God vs. Fat Joe...heh" was the rap-nerdiest joke he ever heard. Which is probably true, being that Joe Crack is widely considered to be the weak link in DITC much like U-God is to the Wu. Anyway I think Diamond is wacker than Joe but that's beside the point. He would totally slay U-God.

O.C. vs. Raekwon The Chef
This one's probably been the hardest to decide so far. Raekwon is the "master of slang", but O.C. is one of the dopest in DITC and was in serious shape around "Bon Appetit". In the end though I have to give it to Lex Diamonds simply based on his wordplay and "fresh slang". He'd get the crowd's mouth waterin' on some "oh shit!". Rap nerd joke number two.

A.G. vs. Ghostface Killah
Now in terms of albums Ghost hasn't dropped anything aside from Pretty Toney that even comes close to "Runaway Slave", but his bizarre choice of words and furious vocal style would shred Andre like confetti. Not to be "all, like whatever" but to me A.G. was like the precursor to "cookie cutter thugs". Either that or Guru.

Diamond D. vs. Cappadonna
I know, I know 'Chino isn't original Wu member but he's pretty much the only Wu MC aside from U-God that would be a fair match for Diamond. As much as I love "Stunts, Blunts, and Hip Hop" Diamond's rhymes are really corny and boring to me after rocking that shit nonstop all summer. I know Cappadonna himself isn't really the God MC, but he has it on the Best Kept Secret.

Well from what it says up there (4-2) the Killa Beez have it on the crate diggers pretty well. In terms of artistic output they also totally destroy DITC, which only produced like 3-4 classic albums. I'll post a picture of my lunchroom battle tomorrow (en battle, so as not to show a crying freshman, which would just be undignified). Peace, and maybe I'll do Native Tongues vs. Boot Camp Clik next time I can't think of any shit to post.

Blogger Is From Satan

If you're reading this, I fixed my blog. If not then that really sucks.

You Must Learn!

Yeah I know I said I'd only be posting on Tuesday and Thursday, but I'm at LCC with some time to kill so 'ere it is. I was doing some internets stuff, and decided to check on the Temple Of Hip Hop, which in turn produced this interview

Templeofhiphop.com sez:
"ZIN- But what is the focus? What should we be focused upon right now?

KRS- Well, first let us define WE. WE means OUR. It means US. So, what is it that creates US? Answer? Shared interests. The concept of WE, US or OUR is born out of shared experiences amongst a specific group of people. These people share interests that are directly related to their unique experiences. In fact, these people are even defined by the rest of the world according to their collective experiences (history). Now Hurricane Katrina has displaced over 2 million people and a large percentage of the displaced are clearly part of the Hip Hop community. THESE ARE OUR PEOPLE! This is OUR “WE”, Hip Hop Kulture. Not Black folk. Not White folk. Not Asians, Native Americans or Mexicans; but HIP HOP! This is our WE. This is our US. Hip Hop is US!"

Looks like the Teacha is up to his old science droppin', which is good to hear. I was waiting for his response. Also, this review says it was conducted after a concert in the park in Detroit less than a week ago with KRS, and I'm not even going to think about the possibility that I missed a KRS-One concert. Nofuckinway. I'm at the LCC computer lab right now and don't want to scream loud profani-tees and have a fit rolling on the floor. Man I sure hope KRS is on Saigon's album, no disrespect but he's like a young KRS. They even share a penchant for self-contradiction.

What Is This? Walt's Back To Business.

Hey hey hey, what's happening. From now on you miscreants only get posts from yours truly Tuesday and Thursday night because I'm puttin' m'edacashun first. However for those of you (Lame Girls, relatives, Wisemen) that wanna read more than that you can check me on Bol's site on the weekends. Other than that, I've just been kickin' it, waiting on Street Talk and the Minstrel Show, and like sleeping and stuff.

Went to Cincinnati with the folks over the weekend and visited Newport,KY (new sister city to Dansville), which was quite an experience. Await a post on it on Thursday. It involves shootings, homeless drunks, packin' steel at a firework show, and most importantly spending 24 hours more than 30 miles from a Quality Dairy. Aside from when I was in Europe that was a whole new experience. So that's pretty much it I guess. See you all on Thursday.

Bonus:
Showbiz ft. AG, Ruck & Party Arty "You Ain't a Killer"
this album is going to be sooooo bananas.
