this is long overdue probably, so im startin it now and well just due like WWE and admitd a class every year of hall of fame inductees.. kinda came to this idea back wards liek, after makin that thread that i have so people can skim through my stuff easier i realized we should have a hall of fame for mpeople.. people voted in will have alink like mine chronicling all their influential stuff and put in here.. of cousres like the other threads, voting will be needed for this.. so lets see what we can do guys! also lets try this all one at a time..one category i mean for this year.

[puertolumbian]

ok then, why not. lemme give the breakdown then of what i think.


Top 10 on my list (in no order):

1) Anaktix - you was killin from the beginning when i first came here, i remember when you was "Talent". You proved that you have it.

2) !nfinite_ - I know you changed your name, but thats still what i know you as cause you helped out a lot with everything from the forum to helping individual heads tips and pointers or just straight dissin them when needed. I guess now you can look in your reflexion and see that you go beyond !nfinite_....

3) Awe-Dio - I don't see you around all that much, but you still got that talent. You were killin it since i been here too. The whole audio scene you had gripped in your palms along with anaktix, but now look, you've helped to get some heads off their seats with your music and lyrics that you had. Especially the battles.

4) Hangman - Wow. I cant say how much you inspired me, when i first started, to twist my stuff around, to think darker and deeper. I would read your stuff, and just be like "what the hell? this guy thinkin up stuff i woulda never thought up." It's crazy. You were consistent with your voting, if i remember right, and you were active like no tomorrow. I guess your name shows that you hang men with ease cause you have some sick talent, especially in yuh battles and VV. You owned VV.

5) Subject - Another ill head i have not seen in a while. Kinda crazy. You was holdin the VV down with hangman and holdin the battles down with Mode. I remember those days. You were pretty active with your posts and votes too, and you helped out with some tourney's if i remember right. I know you do boxin, but hit this site up again man. Fa reals. Ima get mode to stop by yuh crib or sumthin, we'll see. lol.

6) Mode - Raian does not count, you got booted from that, but you learned and from that experience, sprouted something more than just another emcee, you became Mode, one of the illest i know of to date. You were the first i battled and i lost miserably, eventhough we both sucked. I still remember how good we thought we were. You're staying active with the voting, feedback, and helping out with the site. You've improved since you first started. We both started at the same time about, but you took it pass me and ran with it. Keep it up mode. You mos def have a spot in this class.

7) Razorbrain - You was ill before, and you still are. You were always mellow with everything, and i dont remember you gettin too agressive at all. You started up some threads that are being used everyday, and that helps to add to the site's participation. You make sure this forum runs smoothly (along with the other mods) and i havent seen you slack your ass off. You keepin it real, and thats what counts. Your audio's and lyrics both have mad talent in them, so stick with it. You have more that just skill in you...

8) Flobotopics aka Goddi - You are one of the craziest kids i know. Holdin down the freestylin and Cypher scene with ease. You kept constant with voting and posting, even when the site had its multiple times of dead boredom. You have a spot in the class because you came with skill, and you came with diligence (if thats how you spell it). Keeping yuh head up throughout the whole thing, i havent seen you slack your ass yet, maybe in the writin a lil bit, but thats nothin.

9) Boogey - You were the most active mod ive seen in this forum until you got married. You was ill in everything you did fa reals, no lie. Your rhymes came and so did your helping around a lot. You helped out the most man, and you deserve a spot here as well.

10) Gorganus - I know you dont come to this site no more, but still, you held it down as far as claimin a spot. I remember you being ill wit mode and what not, but now you gettin married (unless it happened and you didnt tell me yet!!). Came with the flows, and you started up with audios, but i havent heard all that much lately, and i havent talked to you in the longest. But you was holdin it down in all categories if i remember, just not as much in audios as the rest.


ok, thats my top 10 breakdown in 10 minutes. So please tell me this is efficient enough for this topic and the class of '05. Thank you. If i forgot someone, then please forgive me, but not everyone is gonna be included in this class.

[Anaktix]

[Mode]

ok, i'ma break it down real nice like ok.. for the class of '05 due to outstanding talent displayed and contributions to the FRS.

razorbrain - dudes been here since day one almost.. introduced such threads as the ever popular freestyle cypher thread, one step to stardom etc.. a heavy influence a while back, influencing many emcee's with his in depth rhymes and ability, always able to pull shit-talkers into line.. also, one of the forerunners in the FRS's audio history.

awedio - another old school head, not as active nowadays but still made a large impact while he was here back in the day.. famous for his dope punchlines an flows, champion of the first FRS tournament (still holds the title, undefeated battle champ).. a heavy influence on all who witnessed his battles 'n shit.. a very versatile emcee on the mic also, like razor, awe was a large part of bringing the audio side of the FRS into fruition.

mr.boogie - was a pioneering memeber in the begining along with awe.. he is the one who originated the topical, was known for his dope battle skills and had alot of creative ideas that helped organize the site and make it accessable to everyone. got to implement some things as a mod.. and still hleps clean up every now and then.

poptart - was the first truly good femcee.. no one else came close.. not feliciaten, not avel 'n def not bali hahaha.. poptart was recently discredited with being caught biting once.. but it doesn't detract from her hard hitting punches 'n stylish wordplay.. she proved the girls could hold it down with the boys.. poptart an boogie also are the first Mr. and Mrs. bboy.org.

lunatic lines - wordplay wordplay wordplay.. the illest to drop crazy insane wordplay on bboy.org ever.. no real amazing achievements with luna, but his meta's 'n shit were just unparralelled.. i think he took out the second battle tournament too.. props.

razzle dazzle - this kid just killed it with flows 'n punchlines.. could prob contest awedio for battle champ.. best known for his ability with the multi's an razzle invented the incredibly popular 'diss the previous guy' thread.. i'm sure he's been a heavy influence on many a new emcee to bboy.org looking to master flows 'n punches.

Jroc - another old schooler.. banned me lol.. jroc has contributed so much towards the FRS.. was the only moderator here for a while when everyone was away.. he invented the battle box, jroc also single handedly held down the tournaments.. setting 'em up 'n shit.. always the first to close a thread 'n shit too..

blaze - the founder of the FRS, so immediatly deserving of a spot here i think.. he created the newbies thread also.. this in turn made it more inviting an less intimidating for new rappers to enter the frs, blaze was a great help to help out newbies in that thread too.. i remember he could throw down some sick flows too..

reflexion - probably the newest person to the FRS to be included in my list.. reflexion has been a massive contributer to the FRS, once he aquired modship, he set out to re-format the FRS making it more accessible etc and made a great rules thread that no-one reads.. reflexion also has an outstanding knowledge of hip hop. nice rhymes too haha.

hangman/yosh one - deep, philosophical/make you think kinda rhymer.. probably the dopest cypher or topical emcee back in the day.. another one of the old school audio heads too, one of the only beat producers also..

anaktix - one of the most popular emcee's on bboy.org these days.. dominating all recent tournaments (audio, topical).. anaktix is also a very helpful and approachable emcee who helps out alot of the newer peeps.. anakitx has proven he can throw down in the audio department, was one of the biggest contributers to gettin audio's set up in the FRS an encouraging others to follow suit.

flobotopics - always overlooked.. flobotopics has come to shine in recent times, but past achievements would include keeping the FRS alive when no-one else was around.. now considered one of the illest 'n realist cypher emcee's with his clever wordplay 'n catchy flows..

angel - famous for being banned oh so often, angel just wouldn't give up 'n kept commin back.. he is also a pioneer of the audio department.. angel also holds the title of having the longest rhyme in the FRS (30,000 characters).. angel also introduced the Verbal Violence to the FRS.

mode - the dopest. nuff said.



now thats who i think are deserving to be inducted in the the class of '05.. i'm hoping ya'll can break it down like this because it's a pretty important thing.. put some effort into your votes.. not just "yeah he's dope" think about what people have done for the site etc..

peace.

awedio - this dude is the first person i heard a track from and i couldnt believe he was unsigned, after bein here a while i discovered he has awesome skills in topicals, battles, and pretty much everythin else he tries his hand at.

reflexion - this guy is almost solely responsible for me being able to rap, his rap guide is dope and his organisation of the site made it possible for me to understand what was goin here when i first arrived.

razor - he's been here forever, i've never seen a poor drop, his audio is fantastic and he never sugar coats things, good advice, good feedback and honesty.

subject - every rhyme i've read has blown me away, this guy can really hold it down, not active anymore but his presence is still felt.

jroc - without this guy the frs wouldnt be near what it is now, since i've been here i've witnessed him battling over and over and he's constantly elevatin, he organises most of the tourneys and drops some of the better rhymes here.

razzle - completely dope, his text is always of a great standard and his flow is something i've strived to compare with since i first read one of his verses, a truly influential mc, if any1 deserves this, he does.

anaktix - he's dominatin the forum battles, he has unfathomable skills and 'talent' in his audio and his text, an mc who makes you think with his raps, relax ya mind was the audio track which inspired me to keep plugging away with tracks, a great guy with great talent, even if he's short lol.

flobot - the mc who i enjoy reading the most, always active, always drops quality, his humour is unparralelled on this forum, i've yet to see an emcee who can keystyle better than goddi, overlooked too much, goddi is in the tops 5 emcees here no question.

mode - biter, but he learned and overcame the bad reputation to gain respect on the board, possibly the best emcee in the frs right now, flow is unbeatable, wordplay is awesome, and easily my biggest influence in rap.

[Enkore]

okay, i figure i might as well drop a little suttin...

razor: maybe one of the most influential members of the FRS's audio scene, i know he was one'a the reasons i got a mic in the first place. gives good feedback, quick to discipline random idiots, and honest with anything he says.

awe-dio: probably the tightest emcee overall on the FRS, FRS champ, semi-finalist in audio tourny, and another dude who was holdin it down on both audio and text. influential in my own development with skills in audio, battling, verses, topicals, cyphers, etc....sux he dun come anymore though...

flob: HOLDS THE CYPHERS DOWWNNNN. rarely seen a verse that aint worth readin by 'em. hits up cyphers like a madman, hella active and entertaining. underrated but respected.

anaktix: audio champ, real open guy, and his positive vibe def makes it easier for newer folks to assimilate into the forum. skilled in topicals and audios, as well as poppin into the cyphers every now and then.

i'd like to mention reflexion and jroc for their outstanding job moderating the forum, organizing and settin up a bunch of events (cyphers, tournaments, etc.) and contributions to those cyphers and tournaments, etc.

[flobotopics]

awedio - the man on this site when he was here. illest battle mc ever, wordplay and flow was all off the hook. 1 inductee on there

razorbrain - ill in use of words. is sharp as a razor wit lines. originated amny of the best threads and always stops in here to drop that hottness

mr.boogie - organized alot on here and always drops some stuff that i'll read. kept the forum clean and tidey and always has good advice for heads on here

razzle dazzle - MULTI's R' US should be his name on here. his punches infused wit the multi's are off the radar. one of the ill battle mc's also.


Jroc - kept the forum alive and clean as a mod before i got on there. i think he has the best one liners. i can't get enough of his intelligent rhymes wit the raw style. J gets mad respect from me.

reflexion - has the illest advice and great ideas. very well versed in his lyrics. brings the knowledge errytime he drops. i am glad he is a mod on here and does his job wit the upmost professionalism. and he got some ill topical stuff.

hangman/yosh one - mad fuckin skilled in the battle scene. also can cypher and session wit the best of em. hangman was prolly the illest mc when i first got here. just love the way he drops. i always look out for his posts. and am happy to see him back

anaktix - tourney king. very personable and has a great sense of direction wit his drops. always on point. i never read a rhyme he wrote that i didn't like.

mode - best battle mc that is consistanly on here these days. has elevated from nothing to being one of the hottest mc's. i think mode has elevated more than anyone else i've seen om the site. has great wordplay and is good at every aspect of this forum.


i hope i didn't leave anyone out, but this is my votes

[Bboy Jroc]

razor - did his thing since day one-a FRS.. text, audio, battle.. ya name it.. he deserves a spot hands down..

boogie - pictured him alongside razor.. held it down back in the day also.. dope punches 'n similes from this guy..

zen master - y'all musta forgotten.. this dude dropped it with style 'n creativity in the early days as well..

s@cred - another old head.. mostly revered ta drop illness ('cause-a the name maybe?).. definitely deservin' of a spot though..

awe - everything's been said 'bout the guy.. he's in, no questions asked..

razzle - king-a multie's, ridiculous flow.. known ta have had the longest winnin' streak (in the teen's i believe)..

flobot - a heavy influence on my behalf.. religion, politics, anything.. it's either off-the-dome or better.. much respect man..

reflexion - the best mod ta my knowledge, contributed a whole lot.. never ta be under-estimated, his philosophical rhymes are "infinite"..

anaktix - "talent".. his elevation was inevitable, bound ta happen in a sense.. his drive to drop sickness is what makes him deservin'..

yosh one - the one 'n only "hangman".. FRS wouldn't be the same without his crazy meta's 'n provocative rhymes.. an influence on my behalf as well..

lunatic - wordplay master.. i don't know how he did it but the dude's crazy..

mode - most elevated without a doubt.. his flow is seemingly beyond reach these days.. "raian" is waaaaay behind him now..

angel - very versatile.. from machine-gun rap ta r&b.. again, able ta drop long-ass rhymes..

jroc - like y'all thought i wasn't gonna do it.. guess again.

i know there's more that should be up there (i'll edit if need be), but they're the one's that come ta mind at this moment..

[Mode]

ya'll startin to get lazy!! c'mon we need some real valid, on point reasons for the class.. anyone can be "dope" or have "nice wordplay 'n flows".. whats important is specific reasons, like contributions, standout/memoriable achievements etc.. i know ya'll aint wanna sit down 'n type some long ass shit, but this is our 'hall of fame' lol it's important

just the reason i want peoples full opinion is 'cos i would like some of their shit to be quoted in the interviews.. or even before the interviews, kats who are interviewin should ask some kats what they think of the inductee na'mean?? that way people can react to it 'n help the overall interview..

please! thanks ya'll.

peace.

[Yosh One]

Just read the "monkey" battle- hilarious. Shit son, there's so many people who need shoutouts here. Remember when I first came here and the level of support from the mods/vets was top (better than any other hiphop board) and I just got to know everyone real quick. Hehe I don't deserve any mention here - I'm a traitor hehe.


Gotta give respect to Razor, Awedio, Razzle Dazzle, and JRoc - these are the heads that probably schooled me the most, in the cypher and on the battlefield, and taught me what this shit is all about really.


Also, Zen, S@cred, Angel - some more oldschool heads who's rhymes I always enjoyed. The kinda cats who have you sitting on a battle or on the cypher waiting for their next drop hehe.

So many people to mention - everyone that's already been mentioned. Anaktix is keeping me chill with his "relax ya mind" tune which is practically on repeat on my media player. Plus hats off to Enkore for that "meditate" track - real nice. Loving Dobb's audios - and Mode. Much respect.

[XxNameLessxX]

Oh, shit . . . Well, this's gonna be hard to call; I took a break from the board for a while; that don't make it any easier . . . A'ight, here we go:

Mode -- One of the few peepz here I talked to outside of the board, I know he's kept it real on the battlefield, in cyphers, audio; this guy gives 110% on it all. I peeped his old shit, too; damn, he's elevated ...

Awe-Dio -- A respected vet for good reason. Damn, this boys kept me entertained with his cypehrs and audios. I got "Tear Drops" playin' enough that my teachers got the beat memorized . . . lol Few deserve a spot as much, no one deserves it more.

Yosh One -- Sorry if I got the name wrong, I'm too lazy to go back and look. I disappeared for a couple weeks whenever this character came into play. If I read right, and it's just a Hang-man alias, this mo'fucka deserves in for a single battle I recall reading. I can't recall his opponent (I'm embarrassed to admit that), but the battle was linked to in the rules thread. Damn, son; you got my highest respects.

Flobotopics -- Well, besides helpin' me kill, maime, then eat the souls outta couple bitches on another forum when I came here an' asked for a partner, this man's always kep' it clean an' real in his shit. Never gets old seein' his cyphers. I see more skill in his cyphers and freestyles than battles; but, I'd still not enjoy crossin' mic's wit' this kat.

Dobb -- Honestly, most of the things I've seen (probably just my imagination playin' bullshit) from you's been random bullshit--not in terms of quality or skill, but in terms of topic or reasoning in it. For that reason, I gotta admit you weren't one o' my favorites early on . . . But, I got lucky enough to catch some o' your more in-depth an' meaningful drops. That seriously upped my opinion on you, dawg; you got skills . .


I'd like to list off a dozen like everyone else here, but I haven't been here enough to know why to put them here; plus, when you load down something like this with dozens of people at a time, it kinda loses it's prestige.

[flobotopics]

so uhhh how long is this going on for???? i was just wondering.

[Zeke1]

im gonna get in on this cuz ive been around for a couple years....


1. Razorbrain - The one and only, when i first came here he gave me tips on how to start out, and he was so active in so many ways. Lately he's been busy which means his forum activity is laking, but thats life. He held it down in the cyphers, the sessions, and even in the b.s., droppin hot audios was something he did more then shittin. This man deserve to be in the hall'o'frs for sure.

2. Jroc - The mod of all mods (imo). Another cat who has been here before me, but was incredibly nice and helpful. The organizer would be another good name for this dude. Gettin all the tournies together, lockin threads, cleanin up, and just keepin the forum the way it is now. Without this cat, the FRS really wouldnt be what it is today.

3. Awe-dio - Best overall MC on the boards (imo). This cat can battle, cypher, session, and he drops audios so hot. Im surprised he doesnt drop albums. Love his sense of humor, and underground music taste. Plus, he's a vancity native rockin it till his eyes bleed. Another cat who made the frs what it is today. It wouldn't be the first hall'o'fame without him.

4. Hangman - MY favorite MC on in the forums, besides my best friends. A humble dude with amazing skill and vocab. The first dude here i battled, and he handed it to me proper. Anytime i see him post i gotta read it. Thought process that is unbelievable. Droppin cyphers, sessions, audios...you name it, this cat tops it.

5. ANGEL - The most contriversal MC on the boards. His ability to shock shows why he's ment for this spot. He's another cat who made the FRS how it is today. Plus, hes the first dude i got into it with. Not affraid to hurts feelings, even if it isnt a battle. He had the longest raps out of anyone to ever visit the site, that alone gives me reason to vote him to the hall'o'fame.


....honorable mention....MODE....for abvious reason....this cat has elevated to a level no one thought he'd reach. I don't think even he thought he could reach this high. Keep elevatin homie!

[mothafunky]

yo, i'm a take some time to think on this...but in my opinion its wack some of the people gettin voted up in here. like jroc voted zen master n, i remember that kid from back in the day, an he held that shit down...but it's not the class of since this site existed, its the class of 05, which would be the late 04 an early 05 time in my opinion.

[Zeke1]

NAAH MAN, THATS NOT WHAT IT MEANS....ITS THE HALL OF FAME....THINK ABOUT IT...05 JUST MEANS THIS YEARS INDUCTEES, IT DOES MEAN SINCE THE SITE EXSISTED.....THE NBA DIDN'T START THEIR HALL OF FAME WHEN THE NBA WAS ESTABLISHED, IT TOOK SOME YEARS, THEN THEY HONORED THE ONES WHO MADE THE SPORT GREAT...NA'MEEN...IN A COUPLE YEARS OR WHATEVER, THEN THAT WHEN WE MENTION THE NEWER CATS, BUT UNTIL THEN THE NEW CATS GOTTA PROVE THEMSELVES...

THE AWARDS THREAD IS FOR THE CATS OF THIS YEAR AND LAST...NOT THE HALL OF FAME
