Jin
The Emcees Properganda
25.10.2005 Draft Records
遂にアルバムの発売決定!!
Draft Recordsってメジャーじゃないよね?
アマゾンなど大手での取り扱いは無理かな。
今のところ私が見つけたのは
Underground hiphop.comくらい。売上にはこだわらずにHipHopを追求するそうです~。

Jin改め
The Emcee、残念ながら復帰直後のバトルに負けてしまいました(涙)。
詳しくは、オザポンさんの
あの人今何してるの? ジン敗れるを参照。
それでも私は、今後も
Jinを応援していきます!
ってことで、
Official Siteにようやく新曲のPVがアップされました。
(Media→Video)
Top 5 (Dead or Alive)という曲ですが、なかなか面白いビデオです。PVの中では街中の人たちが「好きなラッパー5人の名前」を書いた紙を掲げていて、リリックとしては
HipHopの歴史を振り返るような内容になってます。
下線太字部分が、アーティスト名もしくは曲名・アルバム名です。
(見逃してる部分や勘違いもあると思いますが、ご了承ください。)
The Emcee "Top 5"
*Who's the best emcees?
ain't no best
who's the best who's the best
ain't no best
who's the best emcees?
ain't no best
top 5 dead or alive
ain't no best
2x
It started out with the legendary
Kool Herc one of
the greats in 1980
Kurtis Blow hit us with The Breaks
from then it was on
two years later
Melle Me l dropped the Message
round the same time I was born
grandmaster caz cold crushin it was evident
Rakim campaignin
Eric B For President
straight out the Bronx came the one known as
Kris
Boogie Down Productions rappers gettin dissed
Kane held the throne the streets knew it was his
ever since they heard him just rhymin with
Biz
Slick Rick took us on Adventures with his bling
Kool Moe Dee told us that Knowledge Is King
meanwhile
LL was rockin the bells
Chuck D and
Ice T told the cops go to hell
G Rap was Kool
RUN was the sire
sucka Mcs I never admire
*repeat
10th grade I became a hiphop addict ass backwards
copped
It Was Written and then
Illmatic
some say
Ready To Die was
Biggie’s best
but then again theres always
Life After Death
way before Dame and
Jay changed views and split
on the real 22 2’s was my shit
just when you thought
PAC only brought drama
he had joints like
Keep Ya Head Up and
Dear Mama
Pun did it his way just like Carlito
Big L murdered it on
Stretch and Bobbito
my man B put me on to
Havoc and P
Infamous will forever be a classic to me
ODBs soul has just entered the buildin
Puffy is good but
Wu Tang is for the children
Scarface ya mind playin tricks just illusions
Pharoah Monch out to Organize the confusion
tryin to figure out this fly chick I discovered
at the same time
Common said He Used to Love Her
Buckshot with his Camp Click laced up in boots
big up to
Black Thought never forgot his
Roots
keep some Dirty Rotten Scoundrel in my stereo
cant forget
Bustas verse on Scenario
Keith Murray was a lyrical assassin
when
Reggie grabbed the mic it was time for some aksion
party anthems
Treach rocked without rehearsal
the Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal
Blackstar better yet
Kweli and
Mos
the in and out flow belongs to Jada and the Ghost
before every
X verse you hear the dogs bark
Outkast changed the game ask Rosa Parks
*repeat
mic skills ain’t got nothin to do with ya gender
Clef ‘s ill but
L Boogie was my favorite member
out
the Fugees the tightest to drop
Latifahs the Queen other chicks are Lyte as rock
before
NWA’s family feud
who kicked that gangsta shit like
Eazy E and
Cube
but still true lyricists smashin the cuts
up verbally like
Ras Kass and
Kurupt
e-40 Mac Dre holdin down the bay
still doin the thizz even though he passed away
rest in peace it aint about west or east
coast beef the media can be a beast
overnight acts just wanna top the charts
no intentions to contribute to the art
I absolutely refuse to let it fall apart
The Emcee is Crafty we here to make our mark
they wanna know
*repeat
「
RUN DMCを凄いと思ったことなんてないぜ」
【訂正】 ↑こんなことはJinは言ってませんでした。
魂小僧さまより、訳の訂正をしていただきました。
正しくは「RUN DMCは偉大な父だった/クソなMCはクソくらえ」とのことです。
「sire」と「sucka MC」の意味を正しく読み取れませんでした(>_<)。
大変失礼いたしました。
「
パフィは良いけど、
ウータンは子ども向け」
←これは合ってる?
とか・・・かなり挑戦的な部分もあるみたいです。
それでも、汚い言葉をほとんど使わずに、アーティスト名や曲名を入れつつリリックに意味を持たせるテクニックやライミングはさすがです。
