Re: "Low End Theory & Midnight Marauders are whatever" - Thu
Liquid Swords holds up very well today. It is definitely "out there" though, and for some reason that's more conspicuous now

Re: "Low End Theory & Midnight Marauders are whatever" - Thu
Anyway, my original comments were not about the influence of these recordings, just my current desire to hear them again. The fact of the matter is that most people here have not given Tribe's debut a fair listen. It's just a little too old for most here to have their fondest adolescent music nerd m...

Re: Will Battle Rap Go Mainstream Thanks to a Greek Billiona
Modern acapella battle rap > sifting through a folder of mp3s downloaded from half-hearted blogs of artists who manage to be "trendy" while still in what used to be understood as a demo phase and having no actual fans.
Deal with it.

Re: Outkast or Mobb Deep?
As far as Outkast vs Mobb Deep, I think it might ultimately come down to your general music preferences. If you really like the blues with your soul, Outkast is pretty much the best thing on earth. If you're into jazzy-soul moods that have practically had all obvious blues influence ripped right out...

Re: Outkast or Mobb Deep?
Other than "We Can Get Down" and "Steve Biko" none of the tracks from Marauders get any burn from me these days.
I'd rather be mauled by leopard seals than have to hear "Electric Relaxation" ever again.

Re: Outkast or Mobb Deep?
As far as a bassy NY street sound where super hard drums are placed under tweaked obscure jazz fusion samples that you would never think could sound menacing, yeah The Infamous is better.

Re: Outkast or Mobb Deep?
Yep, seriously. Mobb Deep's sophomore album has aged better than any post-debut Tribe album, and is a better executed realization of Q-Tip's vision.

Other than Tribe's debut, they don't have any albums that I want to listen to front to back anymore. Low End Theory is just ... loungy and pretentious sounding now.

Re: We should turn this forum back into a thread...
One thread is a bad idea but posting every battle that happens as a poll isn't working either.

I don't hate Real Deal, I think he's dope, but lately his angles/approach have been ass. I'm not suggesting he didn't have any good moments in the battle, but it wasn't enough. Chilla anticipated and delivered.
