Top 5 Dead or Alive Lyrics


[Chorus: repeat 2X]
Who's the best emcees?
Ain't no best
Who's the best who's the best
Ain't no best
Who's the best emcees?
Ain't no best
top 5 dead or alive
Ain't no bestIt started out with the legendary Kool Herc one of
the greats in 1980 Kurtis Blow hit us with The Breaks
from then it was on
two years later Melle Mel dropped the Message
round the same time I was born
grandmaster caz cold crushin it was evident
Rakim campaignin Eric B For President
straight out the Bronx came the one known as Kris
Boogie Down Productions rappers gettin dissed
Kane held the throne the streets knew it was his

ever since they heard him just rhymin with Biz
Slick Rick took us on Adventures with his bling
Kool Moe Dee told us that Knowledge Is King
meanwhile LL was rockin the bells
Chuck D and Ice T told the cops go to hell
G Rap was Kool RUN was the sire
Sucker MC's I never admire[Chorus]10th grade I became a hiphop addict ass backwards
copped It Was Written and then Illmatic
some say Ready To Die was Biggie's best
but then again theres always Life After Death
way before Dame and Jay changed views and split
on the real 22 2's was my shit
just when you thought PAC only brought drama
he had joints like Keep Ya Head Up and Dear Mama
Pun did it his way just like Carlito
Big L murdered it on Stretch and Bobbito
my man B put me on to Havoc and P
Infamous will forever be a classic to me
ODBs soul has just entered the buildin
Puffy is good but Wu Tang is for the children
Scarface ya mind playin tricks just illusions
Pharoah Monch out to Organize the confusion
tryin to figure out this fly chick I discovered
at the same time Common said He Used to Love Her
Buckshot with his Camp Click laced up in boots
big up to Black Thought never forgot his Roots
keep some Dirty Rotten Scoundrel in my stereo
cant forget Bustas verse on Scenario
Keith Murray was a lyrical assassin
when Reggie grabbed the mic it was time for some aksion
party anthems Treach rocked without rehearsal
the Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal
Blackstar better yet Kweli and Mos
the in and out flow belongs to Jada and the Ghost
before every X verse you hear the dogs bark
OutKast changed the game just ask Rosa Parks[Chorus]mic skills ain't got nothin to do with ya gender
Clef 's ill but L Boogie was my favorite member
out the Fugees the tightest to drop
Latifahs the Queen other chicks are Lyte as rock
before NWA's family feud
who kicked that gangsta shit like Eazy E and Cube
but still true lyricists smashin the cuts
up verbally like Ras Kass and Kurupt
e-40 Mac Dre holdin down the bay
still doin the thizz even though he passed away
rest in peace it ain't about west or east
coast beef the media can be a beast
overnight acts just wanna top the charts
no intentions to contribute to the art
I absolutely refuse to let it fall apart
The Emcee is crafty we here to make our mark
they wanna know[Chorus]

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Jin

There are several artists with this name.
1) An American-born Chinese rapper, Jin Au-Yeung.
2) Jin Berekelea (member of the moldavian experimental rock band Headswitch).
3) A solo project by Russian guitarist Eugene "Jin" Mischenko.

1) Jin The Emcee: A native of Miami, Florida, is the son of Chinese immigrants, and his parents own their own restaurant. Jin became interested in Hip Hop when he was in middle school and started battling his classmates in the cafeteria during lunch.

Jin emerged on the scene after winning consecutive emcee battles on 106 & Park's "Freestyle Friday", and after winning 7 weeks of battles; Ruff Ryders came to him and offered him a contract. He accepted and was then part of the Ruff Ryder family and his first album on the Ruff Ryder label. "The Rest is History" (2004) was Jin's rookie album and he released two singles "Learn Chinese" which was produced by Wyclef and "Senorita".

On May 18, 2005 Jin released a song named "I Quit". The song was widely misunderstood because of its name. People thought that Jin had quit the rap game but he hasn't, as he stated that he went off to explore other things.

Jin dropped his sophmore album "Jin Presents: The Emcee's Propaganda" on October 25, 2005, the album sold over 7,000 copies in its first week. The single off his second album was "Top 5" where he talked about who would be the top 5 greatest hip hop artists of all time. He also shot a video for "Top 5".

Jin now goes by the name "The Emcee" and has dropped a new single called "FYI" featuring a fellow Asian rapper Yung Mac. In 2006 Jin will release 2 albums, one of which will be called "100 Grand Jin" with "FYI" as its single which he also shot a video for. Jin is also working on a project where he is planning on releasing a Cantonese album called "ABC Jin", where ABC stands for American Born Chinese. The album will be released internationally and "ABC Jin" will be rapped in all Cantonese.

Jin's style of rapping consists of strong punchlines, and used this skill in the battles he won. His punchlines hardly ever uses metaphors that require much thought to decipher, and his bars are clean cut and powerful when used in battles. Such battles against Verse, Shells, RK, and his 106 & Park battles are great examples of his style of rapping and battling.

2) Jin Berekelea is a talented artist (member of the moldavian experimental rock band Headswitch), who also has a solo project. The musical genres Jin is active in are: Experimental / Ambient / Industrial.

3) Guitarist: Jin is a Russian magician of the guitar. By means of his music he will acquaint you with the world of melody, romanticism, speed, emotions, fantasy and feeling of flight.

At the beginning of fall, the new debut album of a talented guitar player Eugene "Jin" Mischenko was released. “Breaking the Sky”, the name of the album that symbolizes loud and fast appearance on the top of the music Olympus the new generation of the guitar masters. Eugene “Jin” Mischenko, is one of the founders of last year’s Miriada Project, that was one of the most talked about, and received a lot of positive reviews as well as in musical ideas and their execution.

This year, Jin decided to give us his first solo album that promises to send its listeners into a 40 minute travel inside the world of melody, romance, anxiety, speed, emotions, and science fiction. During the recording of his debut solo album, practically all work was done by Jin himself… solos, riffs, bass, keyboards and drums. On some tracks, he used the help of the bass guitar player, Aleksandr Podoroga, known by his work in Miriada. Keyboard tracks and pianos were recorded by Aleksandr “Wish” Andruhin. Riffs for the Phantom track were recorded by Anton Mironkin.

Mixing and mastering were performed in Die Records Studio by one of the best sound engineers, Eugene Vinogradov (Catharsis, Butterfly Temple, Forgive-me-not). With his performance, Eugene Mischenko proves that instrumental music in Russia takes a new beginning, a new spin, a fresh breath. It’s promising and essential. The album was released September 3rd, 2007 on Irond LTD.
