The Last Emperor

[masta247]

The most underrated rapper I'm bumpin lately. His lyrics are sick! Unbelievably good lyricist with not only great wordplay but also awesome intelligent and meaningfull verses. I always liked "One Life", "Do you remember?" and "Heaven" but now I'm more into his whole albums. Even when his beats oftenly suck when I listen to him rhyme I get shivers down my back.
He definately got in to my top 10 mc's of all times and that means a lot.
Any opinions on him?

YouTube - The Last Emperor - Heaven

YouTube - Last Emperor - Do You Remember?

YouTube - The Last Emperor - Secret Wars Part 2 (Live)

YouTube - The Last Emperor feat. RZA - He's Alive

YouTube - The Last Emperor-Live


This'd be the most touching song I can remember. What makes it the most touching is that Poetic rhymes about his own illness he died of soon after :
YouTube - Last Emperor & Too Poetic - One Life {sad track}

Yeah I really like the one life track. I remember speaking to Calcuo about him a year back and he said hes one of the most consistantly good rappers. I do like him, his beats are a put off though.

yeah but he's so underrated that it's nearly impossible to find his album online, not to mention european stores. To me he is the missing chain in hip-hop, when I first heard him I thought that it's what I've been looking for. It's a shame that half of his songs have wack beats but he always makes it good lyrically.

I have always liked him. But like Thug Style said, his beats are ehhh. I still like him though and im pretty sure I have atleast 6-7 albums/mixtapes from him.

wow I can't find anything else from him. I just have "the legend of bigfoot" and "palace of the pretender/music,magic,myth"

emp's dope... but yea his beats are hit or miss... cuz he does have some ridiculous production done on some tracks (One Life, Suzy Wong, Caravan, Single Mother)

and yea the only shit i heard outta him is legend of big foot an music, magic & myth

His last album that he released was great. It was a double album with the song with Poetic which was his last verse.

I forgot the name of the album and now that i think about it i can't find it on my itunes.

It was a great album.

Has he released anything since?

It's either called "Music, Magic, Myth" or "Palace of the pretender" - the first was released in the us while the second one is the european version with few different tracks.
I'm looking for any other mixtapes/albums but I can't find them. It's even impossible to find mmm or bigfoot online too tho.

this is why i made a download thread a while ago with tips and hints, because people call things hard to get when they are in fact not the problem is that there is a movie with the same name so you have ta be clever ehehehe.

 

[masta247]

thank you very much sir.
yeah I typed "the last emperor rapidshare.com" and all I got was movies. Then I typed the names of his albums and I couldn't find them on first google pages so I stopped searching.

+ I'm slowly becoming a fan of Emp. Palace of the pretender is wow. Much better than Bigfoot. I have to admit fully liking only 1/3 of his songs but those songs are really great. He's lyrically untouchable, I love the optimistic vibe on his tracks, the only downfall - 1/2 of his beats.. but when he finally has a nice beat it's just great. Is there any video to any of his songs?
