wtf is wrong with you tom? whether it was by accident or not, "word is
born" has been
around for almost 20 years, and everybody from public enemy to jay-z has
said it. do you
care about public enemy? tribe called quest? de la? i mean c'mon. you are
making a
really stupid argument this time. you said you'd never heard "word is
born" used before in
your life -- first of all, that's nonsense if you listen to hiphop at
all, 2nd of all, we could
easily give you thousands of examples of it being used, dissing and
writing off Run DMC
as if they're the only ones who used it is what's ignorant. i mean point
taken about "word
is bond" being the origin from which "..born" spring, but the rest of
your argument is 100%
ridiculous. sorry.
searching for "word is bond" brings up house of pain (ha), brand
nubian, busta rhymes, wu tang, big pun, redman, ll cool j, jay-z, fat
joe, public enemy, mc eiht, ice cube, gravediggaz, tupac, biggie, nas,
OGC, digable planets, black rob, akinyele, ice-t, snoop dogg, tribe
called quest, roots manuva, freddie foxx, talib qweli, goodie mob,
outkast, lyrics born, gang starr, and many other garbage hiphop groups
as well.
