Part 1 of 2: The rapper most quickly ascending the ranks of hip-hop in 2009 is unquestionably Massachusetts emcee Termanology. In part 1 of this interview Term talks about turning down pussy at a birthday party for Bun B, first linking up with Premo in 2003, and the all-star production lineup on his new album "Politics As Usual", which includes luminaries Alchemist, Buckwild, Large Professor, Pete Rock, Easy Mo Bee, Havoc, Hi-Tek, Premo and Nottz. Modesty is not part of Termanology's terminology (Yes…[Big] Pun intended) and when Van Stylez asks him if he stands by lyrics where he's called himself, "the resurrection of Pun, Biggie reborn, Pac at his best," Term responds, ""How can they be better than me if I'm the one?" Inflammatory? Humble? Cocky? Creative? Pac at his best? Check out interview pt. 1 and leave your comment on hip-hop's rookie draft pick turned all-star at the start of the Obama era!

enough said!!
Newest Album was okay, but if you want hear him at his best listen to the mixtapes.
He is no Pac, Big, Pun, Big L, or Nas, but he is still dope. Give him some credit
Name: S Assassin (Posted: 2/15/2009 12:09:00 PM; Partial IP: 232.187.89) Location: NH Comment: Term sucks. He has a nice flow, but his substance is garbage. I saw him open for GZA and gloat about how his album outsold the new Notorious BIG mixtape at the local Newbury comics. He kept yellin, Termanology- I outsold Biggie yo! and repeatin that shit all night. get the fuck over yourself you outsold a weak ass puff daddy mixtape. EDO. G would smoke Term's ass any day of the week and he's a fool to think he is above him or Guru for that matter. fucking clown
