First off, gotta say you ripped it at Rocksteady. The highlight of the whole event (besides nearly getting run over by Herc and his Puerto Rican Flag kite).<P>NBA Live 2000? Is it me or is EA getting some hip-hop heads for their basketball games? DJ Q*Bert did the college hoops one. I ain't mad. They better give you a percentage cuz along with Madden, that's their best seller. Alright enuff of the videogames<P>Did you thank your wife for that blazing jawn she made for you? <img src="http://www.okayplayer.com/dcforum/Images/happy.gif"><P>Hmm...for your section, maybe you get a guest appearance of Sha-Key on Real Audio (maybe some early jawns).

I think that you should definatley get down with your own section but you got to make that shit original and make someting that everyone will appreciate....Do video game of the month or something....Just a suggestion...<P>OMAR--East Flatbush, Brookyln.

I was gonna ask u why you've never posted before, on Power 99 (philliy radio station, which you're supposed to be on tonight). Hopefully I'll talk to ya then. Peace.<P><BR>"It's the dawn of the emcee who thinks before he spits." -Kweli

yo, rahzel you wanna make your own section, five things you need to do! <P>1. call it "bring in the noyze!??!!"<BR>2. have a weekly sound effect<BR>3. faq section<BR>4. pictures!!!!<BR>5. rahzel's top 10......something something<P>peace god.<P>"im the young city bandit hold my self down single handed, born alone die alone no crew to keep my crown or throne"- nas

WOOOOOOOH...I am loving that cover-page for your section. Big-up Angieee. I'm thinking ?uest and Thought might be a little jealous now. You definitely sent "them to where the paramedics are!" The two are going to have to go back to the drawing board with their sections. But don't go and get all big-headed just yet, great content is what's needed to complete that flashy cover. Noyze of the Week? Kung-Fu Battle of the Month, complete w/Fatality? And as far as the album goes, did you really have to ask? <P>Peace.<P>eric

your crew should get on your section too, Eminon(spelling?), Human Orchestra, Lord Sear...and all of them..i was at your show at the Wetlands...it was ill..i would've loved it if you would have battled the X-Men...that would have been amazing..anyway..you are a "Bad Muthaf88ka"<P>ravenous<BR>"we in the house like japanese in japan or koreans in korea"-talib kweli <P>

August 10th. The release date of YOUR album Rahzel...after multiple set-backs due to whatever the time has finally come near. Consider your CD already bought by myself. Your own sektion? Hmm..anything on it would be dope, but the other okayplayers had some good ideas..I was feelin' the soundbyte of the week which would be dope as hell.<P>Oh and maad love goes out to you Rahzel. I met you at the Tibetan Freedom concert in Madison(NOT Chicago which it was very poorly announced to happen in). I was the only cat viewable with an okayplayer sign, and you were dope enough to sign it and tell me the release date...before it got pushed back.<P>p.e.a.c.e.<BR>Dramatik<P>ps. Who was it that you were kickin' it with? He was lightskinned, and he looked like Kid from Kid'N'Play..<BR>"Everything from Rap to Soul is what my rap can do"-Mudkids

when promoting your album because we love ya (the roots family). It would probalby be best if you give us a taste of what is going to be on the album other than beat boxing, which is a talent we know you are blessed with, but what else are you giving us to make us buy a whole album.<P><BR>PEACE AND BLESSINGS<BR>ZEE

what's with all these delays????? need....music,....legendary....not....enough.......ack<P>Ice

I am geeked to see the Rahzel bless the board! Yes, it is about time! If he had his own section, I think anything he does will be cool. Oh yea, I'm buying 10 copys of "2000". To support the Rahzel Starving rapper foundation.

At this point in time, I can only donate emotional support. I'll donate $$ when I can get the CD/LP and see you live.<P><BR>Peace is not the word to play

SIKE!!!!!!!<P>now u know ima have dat shit when it hit da shelf..<BR>and good luck on your album dog...word up...<BR>u have been blessed and im sure your album will be nothin more than a beam of light in this creative abyss...peace zel<P>cunning linguist since 7:25 7/25/99<P>"he is stupid, but he knows that he is stupid, and that almost makes him smart"<BR>-3rd bass<P>yall mufucas is sik, just wait until dat ilwil hit, fuck half ass mc'n i give a hundred and ten percent, until the end of it, awww man fuck it, u just gotta hear it for yoself, u thought that orgasm was good? our rimes is like dat times twelve....feel me yet?<BR>-donwil<BR>

Great to have you here, Rahzel!!!<BR>We're all just itchin' for your shit to drop...<BR>You've got my support.<P>As far as your section, I like all the ideas that are out there, I can only come up with a title:<P>"Rahzel: turn that damn noyze down!!!" (in a fatherly voice, of course...)<img src="http://www.okayplayer.com/dcforum/Images/happy.gif"><P>Don't be a stranger, most of us don't bite...hehehe<P>E<P>Aug. 10th, 1999 - it's gonna be a lot noyzier around here...<P><BR>-'how can you be so thin and live so phat?'<P>

Just to support you i'll buy your album twice, and without my employee discount(even though you don't see the markup)<BR>peace-truly<P>Silversheath<P>--->insert hip hop quote here

whassup rah, it's great to finally hear from the human beatbox himself! the only regrets i have about your post is that you couldn't make it include some mad crazy dundee sound fx for us okayplayers to hear! anyway, about your site, i think tbone's idea to include a sound byte of the week is a great one. props go out to tbone for that. whatever you decide to do, i got your back. one love.<P>~ILLipino

That's right Rah, I'll buy the album. I've already bought 2 cd singles, 2 records, one promo record with sound, and two Southern Girl promos.<P>Give me a call and we'll see if I can help more.<P>-Tom Hayes<BR>San Diego Okayplayer<P>P.S. Say hi to Anita!

Hey Rahzel, <BR>welcome aboard the okaytrain I saw you in San Francisco and yelled "okayplayer!" but doubtful that you heard me...I even got a picture of you that's nicely up on my wall...<BR>I'm getting your album most definitely, four more days!<BR>It was a tight show...<BR>peace,<BR>Amber

Yo, there are a lot of sites out there that have virtual turntables. Glide the mouse over a button and you hear a scratch, over a table and start the beat. For the Rahzel site, why not have a "virtual Rahzel," with Rahzel providing all of the beats and samples. That would keep me coming back.

first mtv, now ea sports? whats next for you rahzel, damn pretty soon he'll be winning sound effects awards for major motion pictures at the oscars and shit.<P>"Most cats, be thinkin with they bozack<BR>I admit in the past I was tryin to break these hoes backs" Guru

One of the SMALLLLLLLLLLL prices I pay for not listening to the raido (what? I'm supposed to listen to Eve fourteen times so I can't hear this one dope song?).
