I am about to commit a hiphop sin, but I never really liked One for All. I always found the beats to be mad annoying.

Roots win for me

I'll go on the record and say i never liked Do You Want More?

Ever

i got it when it came out, didnt like it... and every year or so someone mentions it as their all time favorite and I go back to listen to it, and come to the same conclusion... i still dont understand its appeal...

I always liked their singles because i always thought they "remixed" songs better then the originals

why would u eve ask a question like that?

I will go on the record to echo everything you've said here.

Matter of fact, check Cleanhobo's for sale list on Half.com. I got it going for pretty cheap right now.

CH, who is Tre-8 and why do you think you can get $80 for his album? Is he some kind of Bay Area hero?

clark bent · Post by **clark bent** » Wed Nov 10, 2004 10:44 pm

one for all fuckin urinates all over dywm and i really like dywm...but i can count on one hand the number of albums better than one for all

oh and the roots remixes always sounded better because the beatminerz did silent treatment and proceed

YouTube · Post by **Philaflava** » Wed Nov 10, 2004 10:45 pm

yeah the beatminerz silent remix was one of the best they ever did.

but proceed III w/dia is my favorite.

It's an out of print No Limit Records original. I've gotten forty dollars for the same cd, only difference is, that time I only had the cd in a slim cd-r case; no liner notes or case.

To be honest, the cd sucks; only about two worthwhile songs. But as you know, people can be very fuckin' stupid.

Brand Nu', obviously.

Although, truthfully, i've never heard this Roots album or any Roots album.

god forbid i enjoy something

p.s. there is such a thing as being technically gifted as a rapper...i don't see the fault in admiring those who have such gifts

AND UMBILICAL DOES NOT RHYME WITH LYRICAL MIRACLE SPHERICAL EMPIRICAL SATIRICAL

Brand Nub all the way

"i can count on one hand the number of albums better than one for all "

Exactly.

I always hear from peeps about how good he is "technically". How do you judge something like that? Personally, son bores the shit out of me on the mic.

It's definitely a vague term, but to be honest, if the best compliment someone can give to an MC is that he's "technically tubular," I'll always take that as a euphemism for saying "there's nothing redeeming about his style."

never off-beat, knows how to ride the beat, but is versatile enough to fuck with the syncopated flow on occasion, has a great, clear voice, does multis without sounding forced/doesn't have too many words/syllables in one line, crisp delivery, no slurring...etc...

zygmont2 · Post by **zygmont2** » Tue Nov 16, 2004 3:16 pm

i liked things fall apart more than do you want more??

is that a hiphop sin too? i hope not

clark bent · Post by **clark bent** » Wed Nov 17, 2004 10:22 am

i dont understand what a technical mc is either...an mc is either dope or he isnt...black thought on dywm is super dope...tho since illadelph he has become really monotonous
