Because that's exactly how I interpreted what you said. I think a lot of other people in here thought the same as me though. If someone asked me for examples of Blackout verses I would think of BDK, Canibus, Chino, OC, etc and not MC's like Biz, Chuck or Doug E Fresh who aren't trying to prove they are the best to ever touch a mic and murder MC's.

See that's where I'm still not clear because I don't think Biz does that. His whole intent is the fun loving, weird, quirky, crowd rocking MC in that Busy Bee line of party MC's and not the Moe Dee or Caz model. Biz is much more concerned with making you laugh than "Blacking out" or "Killing It".

So let me ask you this...can you give me an example of what you're describing so I can get a better clue as to what you mean? You mentioned Dre earlier but he's clearly a producer and not an MC. He wants to let Kurupt or Snoop or whoever handle the real MC shit.
