Whats happening fam,
I was shuffling my winamp playlist when I came across this old-school Malaysian rap track, guess I better write about it before i loose my ideas!
Years ago, when www.bazement.net forum was still up, I was part of the community. This was indeed the place where new artistes dropped their demos and singles. These were uncut, dirty and RAW. despite all the critics and such this place was good in terms of the presence of the scene on the internet and a spot for sharing ideas. skills, productions and such.
I came across this emcee from the far north side of Malaysia(Penang) called Potentialz. Most of ya'all who bump to THR Raaga would smile about since he is familiar with Psychomantra's track on the radios called, Sirayin Vaalkai boldy translated from Tamil to English to yield 'Jail Life'. What brings me to dig my crates and post this is of course the track Verbal Guillotine. With Nas's vox sample from Automatic Combat Pistol and a Japanese feel on the beat, the emcee nailed the best wordplay to a relaxed flow. Of course there wasn't any choruses to follow since it depicts the emcee's style.
This track was underrated years back ad still is, but personally, it is one of my favorites when it comes to lyricism in Malaysia.
This captivated me for real -
im so ill i suck the cancer out of Richard Boeken/
i'll leave your close casket wide open/
I've attached the lyrics in this post together with Potentialz's Myspace and the song link. Listen to it and get connected to this player.
Ladies and gentlemen this is Potentialz, RAW
Verse 1.
watch my pen bless this verse with murder ink/
i'll blind you in a blink of an eye so that
you'll never flinch/
bleach my features and take the spot under lime-
light/
and stack corned-beef in-between D12 and Royce
the 5'9/
your plight is my pleasure/
poetic fractions of undiscovered paragraphs are
my treasure/
i blast in both ways like double speakers when
i spit this shit/
I break your fist with brick hard enough to
split your wrist/
its the blissfull black kid wrappin emcees up
in plastic/
you know how drastic I get in flesh kid/
Im tighther than those books that you kept
under your armpit/
Im lyrically armed with despiteful vicious
tongue/
Verse 2.
I disclose the bomb on my palm with Saddam/
in less than few yards i planned to drop unless
you call it enough/
malicious mind deeper than coal mine/
I'll pass you the hook like candyman when you
call my name 3 times/
but till then let me expand my verses with
extended rehearses/
the blood thirst vampire curses/
i keep the motion disturbed in this minus one
with add verbs/
like apples emcees tries to bite me you f***ing
assholes/
my written sh*** and spoken will leave your
eardrums broken/
im so ill i suck the cancer out of Richard
Boeken/
i'll leave your close casket wide open/
and take a piss at the host approach the God
then Im ghost/
it goes on like porn flicks till i cum on the
set/
rhymes on the track at the same time pay
respect to the blacks/
now catch me wreck this microphone in half/
my flows surpass your glass now quit being an
ass/
watch my pen bless this verse with murder ink/
i'll blind you in a blink of an eye so that
you'll never flinch/
bleach my features and take the spot under lime-
light/
and stack corned-beef in-between D12 and Royce
the 5'9/
your plight is my pleasure/
poetic fractions of undiscovered paragraphs are
my treasure/
i blast in both ways like double speakers when
i spit this shit/
I break your fist with brick hard enough to
split your wrist/
its the blissfull black kid wrappin emcees up

Finally I'd love to hear this emcee drop a solo project and by all means I'm speaking as a fan! I'm beginning to loose this kind of feel now days, my bad!
