This guy after listening to tribe album

Bought this on CD, worth every motherfukkin' penny.

Bass lines to die for.

Beats fatter than Rush Limbaugh.

Lyrics worthy of immortality (OK, maybe not quite that good, but damn close.)

Replaces KRS-One as my favorite album of '93. (OK, they're about equal.)

Will put Snoop Mutt + Sleazy-Flea to shame.

I'm not even sure if Ice Cube and MC Ren will top them.

Still shaking my head in disbelief that some people did not like this.

Craig Hurst (still high from the vibes)

Who defines "wack"? Who decides whether an experiment "works"? What you define as wack may be all that to somebody else. You seem to not like much in the hip-hop/whatever mixture catagory. Have you ever heard Enigma? They set a Gregorian chant up with a bass heavy beat. I happen to like it. It's not the most played tape in my truck, but I like it. Is that "wack"? Am I "wack" because I like it. It's a question of taste. If you don't like broccoli, does that mean it's a "wack" vegetable and shouldn't be grown? I like broccoli and would be upset it if was not grown because some 3rd party decided it was "wack". If you want hip-hop to remain pure, then pick your "pure" artists and follow them, but if an artist wants to slide a tentacle into the realm of R&B or jazz or reggae or whatever, who are you to say "you can't do that"? Personally, most country music makes my teeth itch, but my wife loves it, so is country "wack" or not? Depends on who you ask.

:wow:

I kinda felt the same way. This is the man who says "when I was 12, I went to hell for snuffing Jesus" and "I'm waving automatic guns at nuns" and the album was more or less a toned down Nas but hey his album.... The album was not quite "Illmatic" and was short but DAMN that MF was phat like Roseanne.

Wow, there was internet Hip Hop forums when :pachaha: was alive!

Must have been dope to disscuss Biggie & Pac while they was still walking this earth, same goes for Big L & Pun (For Hip Hop heads who are into them)

Is there any links from that forum of them talking about Biggie or Pac in any capacity?

Either way thanks for posting OP, this is pretty cool. :win:
