#Repost @rapquotedotcom ・・・ J-Live looked upon other rappers' brains with disdain on his 1995 single "Braggin' Writes," released on indie label Raw Shack Records. The New York-based MC/high school teacher's emphasis on thoughtful lyrics and clever wordplay coincided with the rise of the Rawkus roster (including Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Punch and Wordsworth). The shared values of this new underground scene was fostered by DJ Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito Garcia's weekly show on New York's WKCR 89.9FM. . "For underground metaphors, you can scrape an inch below the turf/For what it’s worth, my style’s been developed in the core of the Earth/The exhale’s volcanic/The inhale is seismic…" — J-Live, “Braggin’ Writes,” 12", 1995 . @realjlive #rawshack @stretchandbobbito #rawkus @rawkusrecords #bragginwrites #hiphophead #hiphopheads #hiphopjunkie #hiphopjunkies #hiphoplyrics #90shiphop #90shiphopjunkie #hiphop #rap #rapquotes #raplyrics #underground #undergroundhiphop #tectonics #geology #volcano #seismic #richterscale #platetectonics https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm0wKQag0UC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ibngadlgmugl
