rapness

The act of speaking in rhyme. Not to be confused with rap, which is music. Rapness is just a manner of speech. Beats, skills, natural talent, or even basic linguistic intelligence aren't necessary.

Ayo Jo! Woah! What it be like? Please don't mind my chapped lips.
Gimme yo math baby. Don't you love my rapness?

Al-Khwarizmi

" The Father of Algebra." (780 - 845 C.E.) Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Musa Al-Khwarizmi was a Persian mathematician and astronomer. He wrote the famous book "Al-Kitab Al-Mukhtasar fi Hisab Al-Jabr Wa'l-Muqabala" ("The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing") in 830. The book offered a systematic and logical approach to solving linear and quadratic equations. This became the premise of algebra. He is also responsible for introducing the Hindu-Arabic numerals to the West, thus becoming the golden standard in global mathematics. He also refined Ptolemy's theories on geography to design the first map of the then "known world", wrote on spacial, time-mechanical devices such as the clock, astrolabe, and sundial, made a table of trigonometric functions, and geometrically interpreted the conic sections.

Sure. Newton created the calculus. Liebniz refined it. Kepler popularized it. Lambert generalized it. And Euler organized it. If it wasn't for Al-Khwarizmi, however, most people wouldn't even understand basic arithmetic.

Coke La Rock

For practical reasons, he is considered to be the first hip-hop emcee. Originally a member of the Zulu Nation in the mid-70's, CLR used to rock on stage with the big dj's in the Bronx at the time. In 1976, Kool Herc asked him to act as his own master of ceremonies when his gig of spinning records became to intense, limiting Herc's opportunity to directly talk to the crowd. They were then joined by Timmy Tim and Clark Kent, becoming the Herculoids. Kool Herc and the Herculoids used to rock club spots like PAL, Celeb Club, Stardust Ballroom, Hoe Ave Boys Club, Harlem World, and Black Door. Although Coke La Rock, along with the other members of the Herculoids, never had routines as polished as rival crews such as the Furious 5, the Cold Crush Bros., or the Notorios 2, many hip-hop purists give him recognition as the first rapper ever.

If Kool Herc personally recruited him, then Coke La Rock must have been good.

kool moe dee

Braggadocious emcee from Harlem with incredible lyrics and an even more incredible vocabulary. Born Mohandes Dewese, Kool Moe Dee used to kick mad routines with The Treacherous 3 in the early 80's. He is credited with inventing the speed rap (The Treacherous 3 & Spoonie Gee "The New Rap Language") and popularizing freestyling (New Year's Battle with Busy Bee in December '81). After going solo with his single "Turn It Up" and releasing his debut album "I'm Kool Moe Dee", Moe Dee regularly worked with mega-producer Teddy Riley and made great fashion statements with his leather suits and giant blind man shades.

Kool Moe Dee is most famous for his phenomenal battles with Busy Bee, Run-D.M.C. (alongside Special K on the seminal rap television show "Graffiti Rock"), and, most of all, LL Cool J. Ignorant suckas like to say that LL won the battle with "Jack The Ripper". However, Moe Dee lyrically eviscerated LL with "Let's Go" and "Death Blow". Needless to say, Kool Moe Dee was never much of a commercial mainstay. Nevertheless, Kool Moe Dee has had major hits with "Wild Wild West", "How Ya Like Me Now", "They Want Money", and "I Go To Work". Recently, he dropped the "e" in "Moe" and wrote a book called "There's A God On The Mic: The True 50 Greatest MC's", where he put himself at number 5 behind Big Daddy Kane, KRS-One, Rakim, and Melle Mel. Although never humble, Kool Moe Dee knows what he's talking about. He is one of rap's first deep lyricists, he has battle skills like no one else, and if you want an example of real, unadulterated hip-hop, especially from back in the day, then... KOOL MOE DEE IS THE BEST TO LISTEN TO!

"Whoever said rap is not work is ludacris.
Whoever said it must be new to this.
When you hear me,
You'll compare me
To a prophet for profit, not merely
Writing extra rhymes for recreation.
Each rhyme's a dissertation.
You wanna know my occupation?
I get paid to rock the nation."
-"I Go To Work"

Oh, and Moe Dee did not bite Spyder D's "How Ya Like Me Now."

silver anniversary

The 25th anniversary of something. It is called the silver anniversary because the traditional anniversary gift for a marriage lasting 25 years is silver.

My aunt and uncle has been married for 25 years. They recently celebrated their silver anniversary.
