Yo that nig look so familiar....i might have seen him around at school, i know he from VA somewhere but im not quite sure if he works in our parking department...but then again i could be wrong. :?
Unfortunately Skillz is like a lot of mixtape artist. He's mad talented but he can't put his own stuff out there because he's not marketable or just can't write for an album. Thats why we don't see alot of these undergrounf cats who can freestyle come up (like punchline and wordzworth). Those cats were raw but I don't think they appeal to record companies or people in general.
They have their following tho but not enough to get paid. They gotta stick to their day job unfortunately.

Thats good to hear. I was listening to my old Lyricist Lounge vol. 1 yesterday. Those cats are sick. They have punchlines that'll make Fabolous cringe and drop. I realized there are some who made it tho... like Black Thought, Common, Pharoah Monche (<--slacking). Others need to take up the baton and get out that local rapper mindset.

2003 was mad funny...wish I had a copy of that...
Well, The rumors were wrong..."Rap Up 2004" is up on Allhiphop...Skillz didn't let us down.
