Is x-raided really getting out in april?
- Thread starter Southernhumboldt707
- Start date
On top of that trying to clown where other people are from to try and avoid taking the L acting like im from Yugoslavia or some shit. Ive been in the Eastbay all my life, i knew about all the local artists in the mid 90's cuz of word of mouf seeing i was in middle school/high school around that time. I never needed the internets to discover talent around here
I think it's not going to prison, but it's a matter of utilizing the time. Some rappers have got locked up and you can tell they practiced their craft. 2Pac being an example. Mac Dre also another good example. Mozzy stayed working when he was locked up. X has kept a workflow and continues to have a high output despite incarceration. A lot of the rappers that fall off I don't think we're focused and lacked drive locked up. I think if you listen to him now you should know what you'll get. X Raided, but with different beats, and a lot better quality.

Yea but even when he didn't write raps he was writing screenplays, and keeping his mind active and working and reading books....the focus was there

Only time Raided has been off point, either the beat was weak or the quality was low. When he's out he's got more control.
Dj Fresh tonight show tape would be a good look for both sides....we all love the real world tapes with Stalin, but we're on 5 now?
It would be unexpected, and somethin I think everyone would fuck with off top....

X-raided is one of best lyricists out there. Its funny to me, because even though his delivery was on point on Psycho Active, he wasnt very lyrical back then. The beats carried that album more than his verses. Around the Unforgiven vol. 1 era, we really get to hear a much more lyrical X. All thru Vengeance is Mine, Initiation, Ignition, and the new Unforgivens, X has gotten so much better with the wordplay, metaphors and so on. Sacramentally Disturbed was hugely underrated and that album had some amazingly potent songs. Being locked up has made him really hone his craft and if he gets out, i believe he can make an impact. Yeah, he is in his 40s. But so what? Good music has no age. You ever heard Johnny Cash's last tunes? Incredible. I hope he does get out. Then maybe these confused kids can start looking up to someone real. X is a bad muthafucker and deserves his respect in this business. I don't know too many others who have continuously put it down like him, and especially while being locked up. X has served his time. Give the man a second chance at a normal life.
X is the hardest rapper ever to come out from anywhere... Cuz has been locked up since the earlry 90's & is still relevant today. There's gonna be a lot of rap cats tucking their tails when he's back on the streets. Once he gets some real studio time it's a wrap. Check out all his Black Market shit. That's the hardest gangsta rap ever made...
Dude got jumped on the yard, got shanked, ko'd a couple of em, then C-walked over em. Do some research youngsters...

I can't agree with that part. Psychoactive wasn't carried by beats, it was carried by lyrical CONTENT. And the Album cover helped. Incidentally tHe controversy surrounding "still shooting" also got some attention.
But really a 17-18 year old kid from a gang rhyming about how crazy he is, pimping, selling dope, using guns in the street in the early 90's is what carried it.
Wordplay, metaphors, rhyme patterns, multi-syllables Don't carry a damn thing if there's no emotion behind them. I mean to some people they do, but The term "lyrical" is subjective anyways.
