Official RapDogs E-Zine #16
Wow, and how long has it been since I have sat here and typed something like this? Much Too long, I say. I give props to everyone who ran the mag, though it does disturb me about the inconsistency of the owners. I felt it was about time for me to take this thing back, and inevitably, try and make it better. There are a few things I would like to say, since I have the wide scale exposure to do it, again. ( As if I didn't have it before. )

1. 3-6 Mafia is the greatest Southern group ever assembled. Yes, you have your Getto Boyz, but I don't care. Three Six has been putting it down for a decade, and a half, and they STILL remain
at the cutting edge of Southern Rap. Pay respect.

2. I am Great. Think you knew that already, though.

3. Rapdogs is the best Hip Hop related site on the web.

And Now, I must pose a question to all of you devoted readers..What you gon' do with all that junk? All that junk inside that trunk?

I'd also like to dedicate this issue to PushingTheBoundary and Gemcee. I originally wasn't going to take the mag back, yet when they opened their mouths, and "Showed Me The Light" I had no choice but to "Release" my pent up energy, and write this edition of the mag.

Stewie Says
I have a new consultant, for the Newbie Tips, and General Tips. Most of you know him as Stewie Griffin, personally, I know him as Master Of The Universe. Listen to him well, or die.

"You insolent bastards. Rap? Who resorts to those means any way? retards Attempting Poetry, I always say. HAHAHAHA. I made a funny. Now, bow to me."

Graphic(s) Of The Week(s)
As you all very well know, the mag has been absent for the past few weeks, and I didn't think it was fair to just showcase one graphic. So here are multiple choices.

You know he was going to be on here. Arguably the premier sig maker on the site, and on the web, from what I've seen from many different Forum groups. Props to Jkeith.

One of THE best photomanipulations I have ever seen done. I love FURIOSO, and the fact that he gets little respect on the site, is just a travesty. Put this man in the Hall Of Fame.

The text royally sucks ass, but nice for Hazardous nonetheless. How the fuck did he get that good? :(

Another FURIOSO masterpiece.

Listening Of The Week

3-6 Mafia "Knock The Black Off Yo Ass"
Lol, as you can see, I am currently infatuated with the mafia. Start listening to them, you assholes.

Kanye West "Brand New"
Kanye is the hottest thing in Hip Hop right now. He continues to hold it down on this track. There is a featured artist, however I can't think of his name, and am too lazy to look him up.

Papoose ft. Murda Mook "You Can't Murder Me"
Love Mook. Love Papoose. Listen to it, bitch.

Royce Da 5'9" ft. Kanye West "HeartBeat"
Yes, it's old, but I don't give a damn.

The HeiroGlyphics "Lyrical Fluctuations"
Don't feel lke explaining. Just listen to it.

BRING BATTERY BACK, GOD DAMN..

We now return you to your normally scheduled programming.

Editorial
By EmceeSmythe

Welcome to the Editorial section. Here you will have your personal views challenged and made fun of every week, by none other than Smythe. Hope you enjoy!

This week's topic? The gargabe that you listen to! Jay-Z? Horrible. Game? Trash! Jadakiss? Weak. Rapdogs listens to ridiculous mainstream commercial sell-out GARBAGE. Complete and total worthlessness. The majority (and I do mean the vast, vast majority) of you pump mainstream into your veins like Uncle Sam pumps oil. You listen to bullshit!

Try listening to real MCs. A few labels that should get you started on the underground are Def Jux, Rhymesayers, Legendary Music, and Quannum. These are the most "mainstream" of the underground and there's something for everyone. Don't listen to dumb rap about guns, drugs, and sex. Listen to intelligent rap. Your colleagues will respect you for it!


Veteran Battles
*Editor's Note* Short battles list this week, people. I wasn't planning on being sick 6 days, so I didn't get to cover the whole 2 weeks' period of battles. KMA stepped in and did about a week's worth for me, though. Thank him.
Brought to you by: The Infamous Mr. Kaiser A.K.A. KMA

-Green Machine-(0) vs. Baby_uzi(3)
Uzi took Green down with a KO. Many props to baby_uzi for that. Dude's been elevating a LOT. Congrats.

JuJu(4) vs. CiXelSid (1)
CiX came as hard as he could, which is pretty fuckin hard, but like me, is not quite at Ju's level just yet. Props to JuJu and CiX for this loverly battle.

JuJu (3) Vs. KMA (0)
Yay! I elevated! However, FURIOSO and I agreed JuJu's first bar killed my whole rap. Oh well. Someday, I'll eat his bars for breakfast BUAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH! Or I'll just cry. Something like that.

Mc-K(0) vs babyuzi(3)
An almost close battle. Both emcees came correct, but Uzi came away with a KO. Props.

Venomous(5) VS CiXelSid(4)
A close battle with great verses from both, with a whole lot of foolish hubbub and freeposting. Takes one a while to read through all the bullshit. In the end, Ven came away with the win.

Power Rankings
Didn't have much to go on, at all, man. Though, I tried. I apologize.

5. Baby Uzi
We all know what Uzi can do, and how he can put it down. So I guess it's no surprise to any you, that he cements himself into the top 5, once again. From what I can understand, he'll be looking for a lot more opponents in the following weeks. Be on the lookout for him to come up.

4. Venomous
My man Ven pulls out an ass-biter against CixelSid. Personally, I'll be looking for him to get way more active. P.L.L all day, bee-yotches.

3. Illbert RhymeStein
A fairly new face on the scene *COUGH* makes his rookie debut on the Power Rankings with two impresssive outings this week. I think I want to battle him. :twisted:

2. ToxN
However much to my dismay, ToxN makes number two this week. I don't even remotely like this man, but I am committed to giving you all an unbiased perspective on the Power Rankings. And here you go ToxN. *Hands him the number 2 badge*

1. JuJu
DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK. Ju had some impressive shit this week, so I had to put him atop the totem pole. Been much too long since your name has been on here man, welcome back. *Plays The Ma$e music*

Under The Radar
Watch out for Illbert Rhymestein. He;s the hottest up and comer out there. *COUGH*

Top Punches
JuJu To KMA
I spit kerosene, mixed wit a cannon-team... I dunno how u chose to challenge-me… wen u “FALL OF YA BARS” like a “Nervous Gymnast On A Balance-Beam"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ouch!
LoL.. I Loved that Gymnast Shiz. JuJu is truly one of the best thinkers, in terms of concepts and punches on the site.

Baby Uzi To Green Machine
Itz like your holdin a "Wesley Snipe Movie" how i "blade-ya-hands", watch as you "disappear to rock particles" like you fade-to-sand...and ya verse, its "not gettin viewed" like fuckin "paid-programs"!!!!....
Uzi is really underrated on the site. He makes the top 10 current easily, man. Easily...

JuJu To CixelSid
nigga i'm always on point n my flow's-gun-play... ur whole verse was wack plus ya punches "CAN'T LAND ON ME" like "CLOSED-RUNWAYS"!!!!
LOL. Closed Runways. LOLOLOLOLOL..

~*So, That's What They Think*~

Anesthetic About Gopha:
LoL. As always, I respect Gopha to the fullest. He's been putting it down on a consistent basis for so long, that it's just insane. The King Of Punches, The Master Of Massacre, The Sultan Of The Slugfest, the Great Rhyme-Bino. Well, as you can see, I think highly of the man. He prompted me to change my whole rhyming style, in order to form more punchlines into my work. As far as I'm concerned, this man should go down on everyone's list as one of the greats, if not, the best.

Baby Uzi About Sinis:
Well wat i think of Sinis is he's really sick....He really has the talent for battlin.......for a battler he comes wit everything....
Everything he drops is fire....From Wordplay to punchez and he evens add visuals to it...When i sit back and and read all his verse's
i see a canibus kinda style in him wit all da visuals he brings....
I think his flow is also sick..He's one Rd's finest and das why he's a hall of famer..

Rhymestein About Baby Uzi:
I think Baby_uzi is one of the most underated emcees on this site...He had amazing wordplay and concepts...just needs to work on his wording...If he'll battle some of the top cats on this site..he would gain more respect easily...Ya'll better watch out for this cat...hes a force to be reckoned with.Hes also a good friend of mines...He helps me with my craft and I do the same for his....Its likea tag team...so if n e of ya'l wanna go..get at me lol..but yeah hes very nice...-uno-


*~LEGENDARY INTERROGATION~*
I Felt that I should do something better.. So I'm going to be interviewing Hall of Famers, "Legends" as some might call them, for the next few weeks. This week's piece is dedicated to the Man, The Myth, Flawless.

Alright. Welcome to your official Ezine interview. State your name on Rapdogs, and your real name, please.

FlawlesS7283: Flawless
FlawlesS7283: and Joe

Aight, aight. No doubt. What parts are you represnting, homie?

FlawlesS7283: Long Island NY

Another New Yorker. The home of hip hop. I feel you. So, how old are you.

FlawlesS7283: 22

A TRUE veteran. So, I don't really think I need to ask, but for all those people who are mentally challenged, why'd you pick the nickname 'Flawless'

FlawlesS7283: ya boy be perfect son....or the closest to it, nahmean
FlawlesS7283: lol

Lol, true, true. You think you were one of the top headz in your time?

FlawlesS7283: definetly...anybody around at that time knew it too, and admitted it

Lol, Ive checked some of your old shit, and you were hot, no doubt about it. So, how long have you been into rap?

FlawlesS7283: man...the first shit i ever wrote was at the age of about 11 or 12....and i been doin it ever since...but was only really like putting effort and shit into it for the past 4 or 5 years

Cool, cool. So, how and when did you come across Rapdogs?

FlawlesS7283: i came across rap dogs about...2 years ago...and that just happened kinda outta the blue...i was just surfin the web and came across this shit and was addicted to that shit for the first couple of months...improved my game by leaps and bounds too...

Man, seems like everyone found RD on mistake, but now its one of the largest on the web. So, are you glad that you discovered your talent for writing and rapping?

FlawlesS7283: oh fosho...ima blow up one day..yall'll see....im currently working on a mixtape...ive performed plenty of times over the past year and a half...and i got a lil followin goin...so, thats wassup

I guess I should be on the lookout for it. As we all should. So, your parents know about your rapping talent?

FlawlesS7283: yea..well, my pops died when i was 7, so my mom knows...she aiight with it..

Sorry to hear that homez. Does that effect you at all, in your writing. A horrible loss like that?

FlawlesS7283: thanks...i think that mightve been one of the main reasons why i started writing at such a young age, u nahmean, tryina vent my feelings and shit....so yea, i guess it did effect it

Yeah, I like to focus on the emotional perspective when I write my deep lyricals.. Though I don't draw an anything, quite the way you do. Much props. On a lighter note, however, who is your favorite rapper?

FlawlesS7283: favorite of all time is biggie...but theres so many that im feelin...pac, big l, big pun, nas, jay z, lloyd banks, cassidy , murda mook, jae millz, eminem, jada, immortal tech...the list could go on and on..ya dig?

Props to having Hova and Murda Mook on your list. So, is there anything you want the RD audience to know. Any comebacks or anything you have planned?

FlawlesS7283: any comebacks..i doubt it, im gettin focussed on gettin this $ now, u kno? but i give mad respect to RD and everyone up on there...and basically, i want yall to just watch out for me...ya boys gonna be doin it real big..and i owe a lot to RD ... and if yall got some time peep this site im workin on www.askflawless.bravehost.com

Ill be checking it out man. Much respect to you, for being one of the OGs that influenced me to do my thing, and put it down, how I put it down. I looked up your old Ish, you were one talented mother-fricker. You have mad respect from me homie. Well, I guess that concludes it man. It's been a pleasure.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That concludes this week's interrogation. Check in next week for another Hall Of Famer, Interview.

If it was changed on admin's request, then the next one will be The Dogg Pound. There really was no reason for it, I was rushing the mag, and just put E-Zine #16.

Gratzie.
