Congrats to all of you
Not a single entry from outside america. But they will happily sell the beats world wide to all these suckers. Stay woke people
“Stay woke”. lol
Also, considering the main prize is that you get to do a show with them, it’s probably best that it’s restricted to America because what else would they do then… fly the person in from the other side of the world just for the show? If they weren’t going to that particular country on the tour then it would create a huge hassle.
And yet they sell these beats for $10 a pop and tell them that everyone has a shot. Money hungry labels trying to tell these kids its about the music
If the beats were free, a lot of people would just download them and not even compete. Being a rapper isn’t cheap.
Yeah I’m from Canada. Fuck that shit.
I know two ppl on Thar list tho. Sleep and cryptic wisdom. If i remember right, wisdom is kinda wack. Sleep is pretty dope tho.
Lol I really did think final outlaw was going to win this. Then I checked the “top 27″and realized he’s way overqualified for this. No longer have an interest on this contestm
Seconded.
I submitted my entry & got my 250 votes but for some reason I feel they never seen my video. I would of made this list easily. Petty lol go search Lewiee Blaze – Make Room on YouTube
ehhh I don’t know about that man. Better luck next year
These submissions all sound like shit, every one of these guys sound boring and similar.
Sounds like you either listened to the first 4 entries or you’re not a hip hop fan. But your loss
Sounds like a American contest
theres nothing more i hate than hip hop fans who want hip hop to stagnate
this shit been evolving slowly recently, a lot of artists want to take things back to lyrics. but no one is thinking about the music behind the raps. and i seriously doubt anyone is going to be successful without dope production.
Im not saying lyrics should be ignored. Im saying, dont be scared to experiment with the vibes. This whole street shit thing has gotten old, again…
Listen to I-Khan’s entry though, super on point
I just went through each song and it every single one is garbage accept for Lil’O….
Okay Lil O
Accept for? You mean ‘except for’? Idiotic Lil ‘O. That actually rhymes well.
What happened to Keats. I thought he was dope.
Gotta say thats some bullshit. VI Seconds definitely murdered this shit hands down.
Fuck this shit, i got my own winners.
Yeah fuck this bullshit. VI Seconds murdered it. And props to Drama B and Toxsikk. Ya 3 murdered it. You guys are the winners on my list.
looks like Trippz Michaud had been chewing a yellow crayon before he rapped.
Same yellow crayon he wrote his raps with.
#RocknRollDX
VI Seconds & Flawless did it for me
Thanks FV for another year of DFUOB! No hate over here
