Re: New A Tribe Called Quest Album
Going to be hard to hate on this LP, but I'm confident that these angry dinosaurs will find a way. Don't let me down now!

Re: De La Soul - and the Anonymous Nobody
I dunno, I'm a huge De La Stan, so maybe I'm a tad biased, but - after about a half dozen listens front-to-back - I'm floored by this LP. To me it's the spiritual heir to Buhloone Mindstate and their best album since "Stakes". And I liked Grind Date quite a bit. There's something for everyone on her...

Re: KICKSTARTER: Onyx vs. M.O.P. Album produced by Snowgoons
Man, it's hard out there for an old-schoolish Hip-Hop act nowadays huh? But, whereas the Ghetto Boys fundraiser made me a little bit sad, I can't say that I have any emotions tied to this shit. Kinda hated both groups and the time and still do.

Re: Who do you miss the most?
I can't help but get down get down with the Gangstarr Foundation, just as a matter of principle. ODB was a slobbery drunk on the mic, but likeable none the less. Pun was nice but unproven. GURU was a part of classic records - 3, arguably 4, of which I really like and still play. Never been a UGK guy...

Re: Black Hippy thread (Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, etc.)
Yeah, this album didn't initially smack me across the face, but it is one of the most excellent "let that shit bubble" records that I can think of in recent memory. I remember feeling the same way about "Labcabincalifornia" and "Donuts". It's probably the best hip-hop record released in the last fiv...

I wish Kendrick went a bit harder on this. I mean, shit's cool and all - it's thoroughly interesting - but my favorite Kendrick is 'Hood Politics' and 'Blacker the Berry' Kendrick. I'm not too sure what the fuck he thinks he's doing with his voice on the second half of 'u' but it annoys the shit out...

Hmm, but to be fair, Rae and Ghost are the only members of Wu that seem to be capable of making a good record anymore. Or ever. I'll give him the benefit. But what was his stash laced with when he gave the 'thumbs up' to that album cover?

Re: Worst Rapper Fall Off of All-Time?
Not to get too cheesy - even though, most of these guys haven't gotten VERY cheesy - but even the most talented artists in any genre of music, seemingly only have a 2 to 5 album window of greatness. There's few, if any, that have exceeded this. Maybe the Beatles. Maybe The Roots. These are exception...

Re: Killer Mike and El-P
Interesting tidbit; this album jumped 46 spots on the Billboard Hot 200 charts, within the last couple of weeks. That was the biggest jump last week on the chart, but I'm pretty sure it's also the highest placing for either of these guys since they joined forces. Not to take anything away from the a...

Re: DILATED PEOPLES - Directors of Photography (streaming)
To me, this shit is great. classic boom bap. Evidence is really in the pocket right now, and Raakaa sounds reinvigorated as well. It's also sort of refreshing to hear scratching on a new release. The beats obviously go, but that should not be surprising.

Hey, it's a FREE mixtape. What's wrong with presenting the world with a fresh take on some classic material? Better yet, your own classic material?

Re: The Making Of Gangstarr's Hard To Earn
My personal fave is this LP. When I was a kid I was partial to "Daily Operation" but over the years, "Hard To Earn" has gotten the most spins. Premo really was in his prime at this time and the beats on this album are ridiculous. And really, GURU was in his prime at this time too.
