Actually his album Million Dollar Backpack was a pretty good album. Last year I thought the exact same thing about him, Rap Up was good, video was funny but he didnt have an album, then he dropped one and I downloaded it and liked it so I bought it. I suggest anyone who doesnt think this guy can do any more then make a good rap up cop that album.

"the economy, thats a wrap no doubt
the whole world in debt...
how the hell you bail that out?"

The new year doesn't hit me until I hear a Skillz Rap UP! Welcome to 09!

PS: I didn't realize you had to be black to understand what skillz is saying. That girl must be as dumb as the person who threw a bottle at KRS-1.

I'll put my money on Skillz spittin Acapella vs. "ANYONE" you can think of, on any beat, AND... Skillz writing thier rhymes. (And Spit First) Their verse would basically be Pointless.

HE'D BASICALLY OUT SPIT HIMSELF...

Tell me I am wrong. OKAY PLAYER WON'T. NO ONE HERE CAN.

Maad Beatz: ...
Mad Skillz - Skillz... Either way, he's outspitting everyone below The Top 4... Rakim, KRS ONE, Ice Cube, Black Thought...

I heard Mad Skillz the first time when I bought FROM WHERE???. There hasn't been too many albums since that I can play ALL THE WAY THROUGH and be able to say here's an album that Hip Hop is going to grow from and with.

Ain't no one comin like Skillz, If you Got "Kane" givin him props, Timbo "HANDS" him beats, and there isn't anyone rhyming Lyrically like Skillz thats worth listening to. How can you SECOND GUESS WHO OR WHAT SKILLZ IS and can do to anyone on the mic.

Any one who probably would, would be Big L. (R.I.P.)

Skillz??? I'm waitin for The Billboard Album ("...I had a hundred songs on the Billboard List, So ask again dog, How I got your deal on my wrist..." With you rippin over them tracks like if you were spittin for FROM WHERE???

Ha Ha!!!

I went to sckool with Skills at Westover High in the 80's "THE VILLE BIGUP" and got loads of respect. That is how life goes, the best one's never get a good look, that is what's called underground.

This dude is one of the most underrated emcees in the world!!!!!! He is a true lyrist...Just to think, he been doing this year end "rap up" since like 2002. That's talent...More of these "so=called" rappers need to go to SKILLZ ACADEMY OF RAPPING and EARN their degree!!!

He always comes correct with the rap up's. Main reason why he is famous. However, I was glad that he finally released another album, and it one of my fav's of the year. Can't wait to see THE VIDEO!!!
