Lyrics of Fury

Now, far be it from tbdcdcdbdc to disrespect the dead. All condolences to the friends and family of this gentleman who was killed as a result of freestyle beef. That said, no such compunction is needed when addressing the hilariously oblivious proofer who let this headline pass.

Detroiter Killed In Rap Battle

Anyone who knows what a rap battle actually is would have to wonder if, like Cappadonna of the Wu, this deadly emcee's paragraphs contain cyanide (@2:50):



I'll admit, I wanted to hear this emcee with verses so ill, so malignant, that he can slaughter his hip-hop adversaries at the drop of a sick stanza. Years ago, Monty Python jested about a JMD (Joke of Mass Destruction), so funny that it took lives. Perhaps hip-hop had finally been refined down to it's purest form of rhyming sarin. I was disappointed upon clicking through to find out after the jump that not only does he not slay wack emcees lyrically, but in fact, unlike Inspectah Deck (above @1:00), he doesn't even lyrically commit armed robbery.

He just gets pissed off and grabs a gun.

Come on. That's just not impressive.

Let The Eagle Soar

Eagles, natch, are like totally best. See below.



And goats? I guess they're totally alright.

But when are eagles and goats better then the sum of their parts? When they form like Voltron, and the eagles are the head. Let me put it in layman's terms - when the eagles are throwing the goats off of the mountains. That's when they cease being eagles, and start being the bombdotcom (dotcom.blogspot.com).

For the impatient, the good bits are at 0:35, 5:00, and 6:30





It took all the energy I had not to bring up this guy:





But it just didn't seem appropriate for this time of affirmation and renewal - my maiden post, and the 100th here at TBDC. All the same, you need to brush up on this. All about Eagle-Eye Lanoo Cherry.
