How is Slum Village not Legendary?

How?

 

[Jacksonville Swaguar]

Because there are more people who sat with others in school at lunch than in isolation

 

[Tropical Fantasy]

Fantastic Vol 2 is a classic imo, one of the best produced rap albums ever

 

[Zero]

Yeah RIP Dilla and all that but lets cut the bullshyt

them nikkas couldn't rap for shyt pre-Elzhi and once he joined, he was the only one that could

You listened for the beats....thats all thats it.

Where nikkas think Drake got his style from?

Phonte of Little Brother did a comedy album of all his favorite artists back in 01' I think, imitating them. Did this SV/Sadat X collab, I fux with SV but this shyt was so on point

The Sadat X verse

...I think they are a few albums and impact away from Legendary....but I think they were cool...didn't hurt to have a Legendary producer making your beats either

Villa still going strong after all the Deaths, coming and leaving of group member's, turmoil, infighting, bad breaks. Can't wait for their documentary.

Slum Village are one of my favorite hip hop groups... Fantastic Vol 1 and 2 are classics

Rest in Peace Dilla and Baatin

We are Groot!

Mad on point.

Because Dilla is what's legendary about slum v, not the rest of the group. Lyrically they were lacking.....but Dilla was FLAWLESS

 

[Insensitive]

Honestly I'm tempted to say on his own Dilla made that group legendary.
Especially when I see the young musicians coming after that are black, white etc.
Straight up doing acoustic versions of these records and mimicking dillas approach
to music.

I didn't quite understand the impact and importance of Dilla, I knew he was on some
other shyt but when you see Flying Lotus, Hiatus Kaiyote, and more taking his ideas
and going crazy places with them. You really start to see that Dilla was on some shyt.


Dillah THE GAWD

How?

I feel like Slum Village/J-88 is only legendary to hip-hop heads.
The group itself changed too much.
Jay Dee left the group when Trinity came out
And then Detroit Deli was their biggest album with "Selfish" feat. Young Kanye.
Then Dilla passed.
Then Baatin passed.
Now the group is what...Elzhi, T3, and Waajeed?

And even when it was Dilla, T3, and Baatin all of the members were never together for live shows. There were many shows they did back around 2000-2002 where Dilla just did not show up.

Dilla was too focused on other projects.
Like Jaylib with Madlib.
And experimenting as a producer.

SV as a group suffered because of it.
