school these niggas on Log Cabin for real Log Cabin is actually very, very dope. Released one tape and then almost immediately broke up to pursue careers as both solo artists and groups. Thier shit was on some mystical, vision-quest type vibe at times but they've got skills for days. According to s...

Nightlife This song is the shit, one of the first joints that really put me on to the LL Crew. Eligh was on point here, and dropping some serious end-of-the-world, post-apocalyptic hermit-in-the-mountain type shit. It's too bad a lot of the Legends have started following trends instead of setting t...

Which one?

People have spread the idea that the beats on SOI are somehow far below par because they are fucking idiots who are incapable of interrogating a claim made in a print magazine and/or they have no taste or sense of discernment of their own. Their isn't a single beat on SOI that is grating or weak. T...

Hmm. Is this guy still affiliated with at all?

I remember liking "AKA The Rugged Child" and "The Lost Generation." Has anyone listened to his more recent material? If so, how is it?

50 Cent said it, not me

Apparently my quote game is all fucked up. My bad.

Point taken.

My own overanalysis kills my argument once again.

What a daring and original opinion. Never said I was being original; I'm actually pretty sure that what I said is almost exactly what the Ego Trip cats write about Ras in the "Rap Lists" book. I just happen to agree. You could make that argument for many emcees though, some of the best even. From a...

It's been said many, many times before but I'll reiterate; Ras Kass is a tremendous lyricist with absolutely terrible taste in beats. He's definitely released some bangers and "Soul On Ice" is a near-classic in my book, but he rarely hits the right combination of lyricism and beat choice that makes ...

This shit cannot come soon enough. "Ain't Nothin' Changed" is an absolute banger.

Hopefully the rest of the album sounds that good.

ALL of this is my shit. I love rap music, but this is the shit that I grew up with. Money Gripp, your mix should go down great at my next family reunion, where there is sure to be lots of cheap beer drinkin', butt-smoking, horseshoe playing, and a sizable pig being roasted on a makeshift oil-drum s...

Thanks for this, just got around to listening to it.

The beat on "Billy Bathgate" is

Cage's music was better when he was smoking dippy sticks with Tame One.

Props for part 2, Vincent.

The thought of jamming it when I get back to the shack tonight is getting me through the workday.

Another $80 saved!

Propers, chillhood.

I revisited this track and I stand corrected. Previous statement rescinded.

Props for the upload, Jaz.

I used to have a Cross Movement album...I think it was "Holy Culture." Not too bad, I usually don't get down with Jesus rap but these guys seemed genuinely talented, pretty nice on the beats and thier flows weren't too shabby either. I seem to remember that they shied away from that narrow-minded pr...

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6c/Futuredevelopment.jpg For me, this album is :rockout: I know a lot of people on Phila prefer "No Need For Alarm" or "I Wish My Brother George Was Here," but in my humble opinion this record stands out as some of Del's best work.

Very, very nice Vincent...praise due.

Redman all day. In my mind, Redman's 90's albums combined are better than Nas' 90's albums combined.

"Still On The Grind" = Classic Pimp C.

Can't wait to hear the whole album.

Certainly simpler times.

I've never heard this, but I'm looking foward to it.

On a side note, I have a vague memory of being in Athens, Greece and buying a bootleg of his Kamikazee album out of some street peddler's hand for like 2 or 3 Euros. Needless to say, very disappointing record.

...and yes, this is definitely a dope mix.

I feel like Ap is a good (coulda been great) rapper whose tough-guy posturing turned me away from his music. Personally, I think that Apathy's biggest problem has always been failing to mature away that stupid, thugged-out cokehead battle-rap shit that was so popular in the late 90's and early 00's...
