smh at Phonte making it this far and a GOAT like Keith not here. LMAO Keith should be in the final four of a nonunderground tourney, smh, SMD

Slang, ?

yeah Kool Keith and Rugged Man should definitely still be in it.

If you look at this list for what it is, it's pretty dope. Still, there are a few absences that make it tough to take this tourney too seriously...Keith, Doom, Rugged Man & Apathy namely.

Whoa when did Doom get knocked out? How did I miss that? ridiculous

you're complaining about Phonte, but the biggest one missing is DOOM..how in the world is he not still in a best underground emcee tourney??? now that is where the bullshit lies....DOOM should easily still be present and accounted for at this early stage of the tourney...

I know it all has to do with match-up, but Kool Keith, DOOM & Rugged Man should/could easily be 3 of the final 4.

Rugged Man was properly eliminated IMO....

Kool Keith is extremely dope, but any vote I have for him would be as a part of Ultramagnetic as a whole...so by himself he was properly eliminated as well IMO.....

Phonte is right where he should be IMO

and DOOM not still being in it is what I'm questioning??? DOOM should have won the whole thing IMO...or at the very least came in 2nd place...but to who I'm not so sure.....maybe Jean Grae or numero uno below???

I like Ace better than Doom personally but I agree with the rest of what you said.

Mr Monchichi is the best overall MC in this tournament IMO, I said that from the beginning. Whether or not he wins remains to be seen but I feel he's the best spitter remaining.

MC's just come on 'round, you're the next contestant on "Catch A Beat Down"!!

I think the only thing we agree on is that DOOM should still be in lol

Brother Ali should still be in this thing. He has more talent than Doom, Keith, and Ill Bill.

Completely false...you & Powell (Rugged Man & Phonte both are where they should be?) ought to learn to admit when you don't know what you're talking about. And, if Doom, et al aren't your type, just say that shit then.

Ah to me Bro Ali is better than them. Fa real. He is what I look for mostly in an artist. He's just better than them and I can debate it easily.

You can debate that Ali is more talented than Kool Keith and Doom? Weren't you the one who had only heard Hour of Reprisal from Bill, and can't tell him apart from Slaine on LCN? Don't really see where you're in any position to debate that one...

Like I said, if you don't like them dudes then you don't like em. I think Doom & Keith in particular are a couple examples where skill is skill. Vote for who you like...like who you like as a matter of fact, but I don't think anyone needs to underplay these guys.

I'm really diggin Bro Ali as well. I wouldn't take him over Doom but I like him better than Keith (solo wise) and Ill Bill.

The two best MC's remaining IMO are Monch (who I picked to win it all from the beginning) and Del

Keith solo wise >>>>>> most of the rappers you big up

and who eliminated Mac Dre?

Ummm joseph you are really starting to remind me of good ol' jeffrey little mane.....a lil guy not much taller than bushwick smalls who constantly stays with his thongs wrapped around his kneecaps....whenever someone says anything about any emcee whom he deems to be the dopest, most evolved emcee of all-time


IN MY OPINION Rugged Man is eliminated quite properly...he is a good emcee who gets a bunch of heads on his dick because of Uncommon Valor....his biggest splash in the industry that he's been a part of since the early 90's....in other words HE HASN'T DONE ENOUGH, and he was eliminated right where he should have been IMO......that combined with him being nice but not that damn nice on the mic is enough for me again IN MY OPINION.....Phonte has quadrupled his work output and has put out much doper material IN MY OPINION....is this alright with you joseph jeffrey little???

as for DOOM well I've already said I think he should win this tourney....so obviously I like him and respect his work alot......

is Keith solo wise better than Ghostface?? how about Raekwon??? maybe GZA??? how about RZA as an emcee?? how about Masta Killa?? is he better than Cappadonna?? possibly Meth?? is he better than Killah Priest??

hey slango be quiet mane, you're just ranting again as usual....lol

Keith ain't fuckin with GZA or Ghostface even if you throw in the Ultra albums.

from a rhyming standpoint, he DEFINITLY is, lyricaly, style, flow, everything...

Kool Keith is not a better emcee from any standpoint (lyrically, flow, voice, rhyme cadence..etc) than Ghost or Meth or GZA!




you're ranting again....would you cut that shit out mane??

Look, saying Uncommon Valor is some sort of fluke performance is completely ignorant...he's killed every verse in the last ten years just as nicely. And that's all I'm saying here...you don't know what you're talking about. At all.

R.A. killed this song with his verse.

The crazy part about R.A.'s verse on Uncommon Valor is that shit is a true story, reliving his dad's story.

The dude's flow is on another level. I would love to see him and Ghost go at it, these guys could rhyme for a long minute w/o running out of breath. Ain't no way Phonte is touching him (except putting out more materials & singing).

I'm sure sexually, too.

Phonte is touching Rugged Man?

He wishes.

In his grizzly pants-basket.

just because your fans on this forum agree with you joe little that R.A. is the nicest most evolved emcee on the planet doesn't necessarily mean it's true mane

that motherfucker is living off of Uncommon Valor whether he's talking about his dad or your dead dog leonard...he's nice but he ain't that nice IMO.....Phonte is flowing just fine whether you like it or not...it's not relevant mane!

Ignorant

SENSITIVE!

I'm not sensitive...no emotion suggested in anything I've said. Ignorant is an actual word with an actual meaning. Your statements on Rugged Man prove entirely that you are ignorant on the matter. As per the definition of the word ignorant. Ignorant.

I'm ignorant in regards to R.A. to you because you're crying over a bowl of cheerios...you're upset that anyone would not see the dopeness in one of your favorite, most evolved emcees of all-time...plain and simple....most hip-hop heads already know that R.A. is nice, but they also know that he is not the nicest emcee...and that the best thing that he has done is Uncommon Valor which was a minute ago, and he hasn't done much since....that is his shining moment would you agree? he is NOT an all-time emcee IMO...you are upset about this so you're not trying to hear anything about it...you're completely shut off to reason when it comes to R.A.

you will defend his turf and believe that he has changed the game...he has evolved the art of emceeing IN YOUR OPINION

IN MY OPINION he is a nice emcee with ONE main shining moment....that is all lil joe.....don't take it personal mane!

Uncommon Valor is waaay to over hyped. He has better songs imo. That I prefer I must say. And he uses that same Big Pun tongue twist in almost every song.
