Alphabetical Slaughter by Papoose

[Lex Diamonds]

One of the most lyrically skilled songs I've heard in a while. Check it out if you aint already. (y)

Any comments? Look at this. (http://www.hhdb.com/lyrics/598/Alphabetical-Slaughter-Lyrics) It's quite amazing when you actually see it written down. (!)

[Rip Round'n Roc]

didn't blackalicious do this already A2G???

[Vladimir]

yes.

AtoG came out in 2000 and Alphabetical Slaughter dropped in '03.

A to G is nowhere near as complex as this song. Have you listened to them both? A to G uses a bit of alliteration in it's verses, and takes it up to G. This man does 26 verses, and in each one uses words beginning with nothing but the respectful letter of the alphabet from A-Z. If you wanna refuse to listen to it then fine but don't just try that "it's been done before" bullshit.

[SobaViolence]

Alphabet Aerobics just does alliteration for each 2-line rhyme, and starts every rhyme with the next letter in the alphabet. The words in those rhymes don't even all start with the same letter. It doesn't do long 8 or 10 line verses like the other song does and it doesn't flow or rhyme as well. Yeah it's fundamentally similar but nowhere near as complex as this song.

If you don't want to listen to it then just say, but don't try and claim that because you've heard another similar song it is of no interest to anybody.

I hate this music forum sometimes. Why do so many people see it as a battleground for proving their knowledge of hip-hop? This place is for discussion you idiots. I was merely suggesting you listen to a song, and tell me what you think of it, not tell me about some other similar song with a superficially similar lyrical scheme.

see now this is the thing that bugs me about the internet, everybody is an expert but only because you can google anything and find anything in seconds. I'm not saying you don't know the song but i reckon you searched the lyrics in some way because you breaking down the sentences, it's all so fucking easy. Despite what you'll think from my recent alias this is not a personal attack on you just a bug bear of mine

also i haven't heard the song so i didn't compare it, i was just putting right what was wrong

If you send me the song i will listen to it and give you my opinion

and finally calling people idiots is just not nice

[Lex Diamonds]

I know what you mean, I hate it when people use Google to act like they know more than they do. That's basically what I'm saying; who cares what you know unless it adds to a discussion. I did have that song downloaded on my computer and have listened to it before, but it didn't really impress me in the way that this song did. Whatever man, maybe you won't like it, but I just thought it was something I should share.

[Lex Diamonds]

Yeah man I have enough respect for Blackalicious, and to me Papoose is relatively unheard of. But this song is skills. Anyway, check it out, hope you like it.

[Ally Al]

Thats not bad at all, same ol same ol subject matter but at least he tries something diff with it, thanks

i think in NY he's being tipped as the next big thing, but i thought that was supposed to be saigon. Apparently he's signing to flipmode so we'll see how that goes

DJ Kay Slay, Busta's Flipmode Ink Joint Venture Deal To Push Papoose

DJ Kay Slay's Street Sweepers Entertainment has inked a joint venture deal with Busta Rhyme's Flip Mode Squad and the two entities will combine resources to push the career of Brooklyn, New York rapper Papoose.

The union has produced the upcoming Swizz Beatz produced single "Get Right" featuring Busta Rhymes.

"Busta Rhymes had been watching what I was doing with Papoose in terms of getting him to the level I have taken him to," Kay Slay told AllHipHop.com. "We already had situations on the table, but we knew if we formed some kind of alliance, we could help get Papoose into a bigger deal and we are talking seven-figure ones."

While Papoose remains an artist signed to Street Sweepers Entertainment, Kay Slay said the new joint venture with Flip Mode would help elevate Papoose's career because of Busta Rhymes' pop appeal.

Papoose recently completed several high profile collaborations with the likes of Busta Rhymes and Nas, several performances like Hot 97's Full Frontal fashion show, Power 105.1's "Birthday Bash" at the Nassau Coliseum in New York and a well-received performance during BET's recent Spring Bling party in Miami Beach,Florida.

"When the world sees the response that he got when he came out with Busta on Spring break on BET, there's probably going to be alot of A&R's that lose their jobs," Kay Slay joked.

According to Kay Slay, Papoose has deliberately avoided signing a deal, despite releasing numerous mixtapes and enjoying steady airplay on New York radio.

"We need priority status, because the kid is the future of Hip-Hop. And that's not coming from me, I heard it from come from a lot of people," Kay Slay continued. "He kills the block every now and then. He is only talking about what he sees in his ventures through life. He talks about the knowledge, wisdom and understanding, I mean dude spits lyrics that I would be actually let my own daughter listening to on some occasions. And its certain records people gonna hear come from him that they gonna love."

"Get Right" featuring Busta Rhymes is slated to hit radio airwaves next week.

Safe, man. Looks to me like this guy's got a future. (y)
