When he developed that style post HNIC where his lines wouldn't always rhyme, but just the way he delivered them was so powerful. yeah my dude, like "Mac 10 Handle" love how he starts "By myself in my four cornered room watching "Hard Boiled" / I feel like I'm crazy..." No rhyme, obviously, but shi...

P-dub shines regardless

I'm trying to party like it's 2002 when I go to NYC this weekend.

Yeah, I know...

I want to download music like its 1999. What do you use? Is soulseek still viable? I know mediafire went down - any alternatives?

Oh yeah, hey Philaflavanoids - how you doin?

This man was next-level freaky. The kind of freaky most can't even dream of reaching.

R.I.P.

I forgot to say this before, but props for the Clockers quote sig.

Best Dis Rhyme I've ever heard- Yo, yeah I heard of the Boogieman when I was a youth, scary And I found out that he was as fake as a tooth-fairy Since my last mission this nigga's been ass-kissing I took a minute, I gave your single a fast listen Tell me this, no pot to piss in? How you dissin' You...

Album bangs. I prefer Illmatic to just about any rap album, but I definitely place this on a par with Outkast's best work, and above a lot of similarly acclaimed 90s albums like, say... Ready To Die . Lately, "Goodie Bag" has a way of implanting itself in my head for about an hour at a time. God dam...

I don't like the pachyderm/taciturn rhyme from the jump - it's awkward, and throws off a verse that sounds smart and slick overall.

Part ways as rays tonguekissin' terra firma
Breaking north, freshly dipped in Buenaventura

is a highlight for me.

Are you on some spoken word? I checked for this because I remember that I've liked stuff you've written before. This piece seems somewhat rambling, but the repetition in the last line is a great finish. I like the mood throughout - it's emotional but not histrionic, pensive but not mopey. And the li...

Dope rhymes about an unusual topic. Usually when I hear or read verses focused on atypical subjects in rap, it comes off as stilted or hamhanded. I don't get that feeling from this - it seems inspired and careful. I like the blunt images ("Sent to the front to fend amongst men on stretchers with stu...

Eighty Four out of Two Thousand Nine My rhymes trace my steps right back to my birthplace My birthdate blessed me with the illness to reveal through ink What I think to articulate my fate so y'all can feel this And captivate onstage when church is in service My purpose: deactivate the fangs of cynic...

Most of the ones I've picked up have sucked. However, the Master Of Reality one didn't feel like a waste of time. I liked it.

Fuck that shit. This is the first I've heard about it. Thanks and peace to Frosty Freeze. Rock steady.

Yes. And Norman Blake.

They're produced by Dave Fridmann, who was a member of Mercury Rev. He's produced about a million Flaming Lips albums.

Haha no question: "Black people, black people, steal your mind back / Don't die in their wilderness - fuck that"

When I focus on that shit in "Dial 7" and not all the "Heyyyyyy"s, that's when I come around to it.

The common consensus seems to be that the first LP is better (well, maybe not here, but elsewhere), but I disagree. This album is solid and not bland like the first one can be. No arguments here. I've listened to Blowout Comb so many damn times, it's almost at that It Takes A Nation Of Millions lev...

I definitely hope that I remember to check this out sometime soon. Many thanks for the post, man.

i'm a member of the "beatles are overrated" camp I think I have honorary status in that club too. The White Album is bloated. "A Day In The Life" isn't very good. "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" are both pretty terrible. But word to "Happiness Is A Warm Gun" - probab...

Glad this thread was made. I've started digging into their earlier stuff - just listened to House of GVSB the other night. "Disco Six Six Six" has been and still is a personal favorite. How does House stack up to Venus ? I actually didn't get into GVSB until Freakonica, which in retrospect is their ...

Step In The Arena.

Basically.

I like Black On Both Sides enough, but I'd opt to hear "Vapors" 17 times in a row before sitting through BOBS front to back again.

Goin' The Fuck Off.

Man, thinking about this now - it's maybe a little too Atmospheric

Damn, chump change, that sig is dope

It Takes A Nation Of Millions because it blew the top of my fuckin head off. My favorite album 'til I die trying to clock what Flav said.

Some nice lines in this one. I like the way that "word, but this isn't either" seems to punctuate the verse.

Thanks for the words, gentlemen. Do you see any flaws or improvements that could be made?
