Phonte appreciation

[Mike Statik]

this track

Phonte feat. eLZhi - Not Here Anymore (Prod. 9th Wonder) - YouTube

came in here to post this...although i think El's verse was the best...phontes 2 verses were nice as fukk too tho

"Wind blowing through the trees
Blue Bull City skies, 70 degrees
Te' embodies a architect and when he rhyme about it
He body the whole alphabet, so bury me a G"

 

[TrapHouse Rock]

i wanna post links in here, but seriously any fukking little brother song will do. he never took a verse off and when you put it all together, you've got an arguable top 10 all time talent

but i'll try

my reaction after hearing Phonte verse and realizing what he did with it

Spoiler

It didn't rhyme

this shyt had me at first for wasting such a ridiculous beat

then for realizing what he did

to at this being one of the most audacious things i've ever heard on record

 

[RickyGQ]

Him and Median could have been a dope group too...
anyone else heard Median's album?

median is severely underrated, his original ep on the scene in 2003 and then his debut album. i heard the album on FE music, but i havent had enough time to digest


he's extremely dope

Some of his best little brother verses were on his mixtapes though...
Another okey-doke verse:

Realest verse for anyone who worked retail:

Dope verse about fukking up a relationships:

Boondock Saints comes to mind, his verse on All For You, Away From Me, etc


I'll go with the first one I remember hearing:



Literally had to bust out the handkerchief like afterwards

 

[Big Mel]

Phonte and median have a joint on the new JR & PH7 album that's everything you love about Tiggalo. He kills the sung chorus. I've played it over ten times in two days.

PHONTE ft. EVIDENCE & BIG K.R.I.T. - The Life Of Kings (Official Music Video) - YouTube

Phenomenal song and video

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Uh, it seem like, the more I achieve the more they expect
'Cause it ain't nothing that breeds seeds like success
And though you might expect nikkas to lose their cause
Or drop the ball, that nikka Tay ain't like the rest
I'm built a little bit different, my specs is more rigid
Phonte's the medicine, a fine black specimen
Of Afro-engineering without no interference
To get it short, I'm more than just your average rap nikka
Or whatever you wanna call it
Call it music, I call it my life performance
Call 'em fans, I call 'em my life supporters
Whether they paying or they sneaking through
These are the people that now I'm speaking to
I speak to you, and this is the year that I'm gon'
Schiavo my rivals, nikka pull out the feedin tube
'Cause y'all porch monkeys, that shake spears [Shakespeare's]
And make a killin', my Wordsworth worth a million
Phonte and LB, the last temptation
Give a fukk if our shyt is played on every station
So y'all rap nikkas can't follow me up
You can't bottle me up, shyt, I'm the well of inspiration, nikka!

He made Mos Def an afterthought on this.

Why did Phonte delete his Twitter?
