As I mentioned on the "4 bars" thread, I think it could be a great thing if we made a tribute for Marley Marl's classic mega-collab, the Symphony. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiUsXm-ElOc
Someone could flip the sample : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZxN9iQM7OY (if no one else wants to, I will)
There are 4 rappers in the song. Craig G, Masta Ace, Kool G Rap, and Big Daddy Kane. If 3 of you want to rhyme on this, we could base our verses on their's. Since I'm trying to set this up, I claim the final verse, going off Kane's (rewriting his verse as mine, in a way)
That leaves 4 open spots. One for the beat and 3 for emcees. Also, someone could speak for Dusty Marl, if they're so bold. If more than 3 rhymers step up, they can have a verse too. and if less than 3, i'll ask the homie Ryan for a verse.. probably should ask him for one regardless, actually.
Respond!
I hope we make this happen. At best it will be classic and at worst it will be fun.

I'm down. How about 12 bars each verse? Not too long,not too short and just right for 4 emcees.
If you going for that Symphony flavor, its more than a piano over drums loop. That beat had to blend with the emcee style as well displaying each emcees highlighted skills. Like Masta Ace's drum off part, Kool G Rap's intense flow and Kane. Listen to their sections closely and hear how Marley puts them through the coarse and watch them run through his beat labyrinth. Thats what its about.
Dope rhymes comes from dope beats, now who is gonna bang it out? Don't fuck it up

Right on! Glad you're up for it. Now if one more rapper steps up we will have enough, if the homie Ryan is down. Pretty sure he will be.
Good point about the beat. It should have many variations. If, in the next few days, nobody offers, I will go ahead and do my best at designing the labyrinth.
