      Rap wasn't dead, but it's on life support.
      Thank you for bringing the essence of Hip Hop back. I mean, there are others (not mainstream), but I appreciate you guys.
      Hell...can I help you guys in any way to hype everything? Seriously, I'm a 44-year old Marine Corps veteran with a Mass Communication (broadcasting/journalism) degree, minor in PR.
      I'm an artist. You name it.
      Let me be a part of the rebirth!!!!

Gab as the ultimate legend and wicked flow, R.A. has the funny lines and the overall bravado vibe, and AFRO is the new kid on the block being taught by these two while having his own style and spectacular rhyme scheme.

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    [Verse 1: Gift of Gab]
    Enter my imminent energy element
    I am an entity walking ahead of the pack
    I really am out of my head and it's evident
    That I will never be able to ever quit
    Melanin fellow with helluva relevance
    What isn't elegant, metaphors ready to set it off
    Dead on your pettier levels
    I'm ready and able to murder and tear emcees
    All into pieces and murking embarrassees
    Honoring easily crumbs
    Chill it easily comes like breathing
    From deep in the seat of your lungs
    I creep to the beat of a drum
    That's unique to me
    As I keep it a hundred
    Leaping through regions and leading the dumb
    And feeble emcees sinking deep in the mud (the mud)
    While some of them keeping it thug
    Like there is a leak in their mug
    We better start reaching above
    We headed for economic
    Decay what you thinking of bro
    I'm creeping beneath [?]
    The surface will purpose I'm healing delinquents of
    What emceeing should be
    It's no interest of me if their mission is weak
    And they're keeping it dumb
    Keep sleeping, I'm tweaking the frequency of
    Emceeing and being a piece of the puzzle
    Rhythm we seeking the freedom and what
    It means to be free and be equal as one
    The nation is bobbing and weaving
    Afraid of the awful and evil
    Don't make it their power to lead you
    Away from the power proceeding creation
    See all of the leaders to take us up
    Out of the season
    I hang with the laws of receiving
    And giving and living
    If y'all are believing
    And evident knowledge is breathing
    And [?] and [?] and topple the greedy
    (it's indeed a great pleasure to present
    To you at this particular time-)
    (word is bond) X 4
    [Verse 2: A-F-R-O]
    One two 'fro Thizzle
    Free flow unh yo
    The path of the righteous person
    Laughing and tired of hurtin'
    I'm asking erratic emphatic combatative idiot
    When is it past the millenium
    Pasture rising to surface
    Snatching your wifey's purses
    I'm a little brother like Rakim
    When I gotta rhyme on the stage for a good amount of time
    I'm grabbing the mic in an urgent
    Smashing the dime for certain
    Splashing the ice with bourbon
    Fro gon' spit so crazy
    Hoes wanna give Fro a baby
    Crashing me driving you're burning
    I rap, you rewind it
    The speakers ain't working
    I flap in the night at your jeep and you swervin'
    I'm black with the eyes of a serpent
    Back with a knife of purchase
    Immaculate rhymes and the heat is conversin'
    Attackin' the spine on your evil you worship
    Here with a vengeance of fear appears in the mirror
    Sentence you be the apprentice
    Fro on the track with Gab and R
    Combined with the beat that we murkin'
    Drama unraveled no commence
    Lama in the shadows no defense
    Calm in the battle, hoe's intense
    Honey dips and them silly broads they got to do me
    I throw dick for money clips and the melly cars
    Is not usually fo' shit
    The ether rider the frequent feeder
    Feeble freedom fighter with dope steez
    The heat defier the reason he beast
    Cause he admire the OGs
    (and now) (what?)
    (R.A. The Rugged Man)
    [Verse 3: R.A. The Rugged Man]
    Yo, Kubrick ride with us
    Rivals fighting five of us
    Bitches slide with us
    My dick is harder than elephant ivory tusks
    Baphomet bison bite the dust
    Slime and crust, life of lust
    Tyson biting, knife slicing guts
    Sniffing cyber dust
    Filling their mind with the hatred and jealousy
    Fro and the Rugged like Mayweather / Ellerbe
    Rakim and Eric B, check out my melody
    Duckin' a felony, nothing they tellin' me
    Never forget 'em, I send 'em to heaven
    I went independent position
    I been in again and again
    And I'm ruling the throne
    It will never be ending the message
    And lesson I'm sending is killing civilians in Yemen
    The bigger the spending the people pretending
    The freedom of speech is it hateful offending
    The weapon possession the second amendment
    It's me
    I'm back bitches
    Gift of Gab, Blackalicious
    You could watch that Harry Potter Radcliffe rap his shit
    Like when I gotta drop and it's hip hop
    And it don't stop with the whole block
    And the hoes hot
    Do the windmill, do the wop
    Do the robot, flow hot, never go pop
    No shot, soul sock
    Diggin' the dick in a nun, hun could blow cock
    At the church pope Benedict flopped
    The white flame Night Train name James Brown
    But the bitches be riding my dick like greyhound
    I ain't playin' with no gimmick
    When they faking every minute and I take it to the limit
    And they aching when I'm in it
    When I'm making an exhibit is it entertaining is it?
    Hey president race bigot
    Slow deadbeat James van Bebber reign forever
    Act like a dick I'll beat a pussy til he change gender
    Switchin' launchin' the rocket and leakin' their brain on the ceiling
    Revealing opinion is sinnin' the fish in the sea
    And the birds in the heavens
    We living and given dominion
    And in the beginning the women I've been in
    The devil is grinning
    The end of the inning, the evil
    And tricking the murder
    Religion the media
    Spinning this pain that I'm bringing
    I'm out.

      If you know what these words mean... then it gets hard to listen to this. There is no meaning to these lyrics and there is no story just rhyming of complex words and beautiful flow which I will compliment them on.... still better than mainstream however

      I actually found out most of these trap groupies barely have pubic hair and idolize crackheads like Lil Peep because they just hit puberty! They clearly have no idea what they are doing and just follow the mass.

    I'm pretty sure half of this video's 10 million views came from me. Just incomparable flow, lyricism, and pure style. Can't believe that you're gone, G. Rest in power, sir. You were truly one of the greats.. and your legacy to the game shall never be forgotten.
