“Last Dayz” by onyx had a lot of corny ass bars

[boskey]

That was Onyx’s whole thing

 

[Jaguar93]

I hear you.

But it's Onyx, who they are and the era.

I never thought in my life an Onyx album was corny.

I like the song but op is right in my opinion. In retrospect that shyt is lowkey corny/try hard. If today’s edgy rappers would’ve said that shyt. Coli bruhs would be clowning them.

 

[MurderToCassette]

They never really hid this. They even reference this song in "Throw Ya Gunz" song

There was nothing to hide bro, nobody hear that song

Even Red Alert said he only played the instrumental cause he wasn't feeling the raps

To confirm is that track you posted - ahh, and we do it like this - considered them sounding like De La? Or other tracks?

It does sound like De La. Never heard this! Thank you.

Yeah this was their debut before they dropped an album and switched their style. Some straight DAISY age stuff.

For the record, I mess with Onyx. All We Got Iz Us is one of my GOAT albums, on the strength of the beats alone.



Crazy Buddy Miles flip wasted on a skit

Early 90s had a lot of cringe moments


Imagine Drake doing this

You lowkey right. Look at Dre trying to shadow box

Word. And good call on that maintain beat.
I didn't recognize the sample, but big props for doing so. Sounds like you beat dig.

 

[s@n]

bullshyt. Certainly no less corny than the emaciated queers mumbling on lean in 28 waist bedazzled jeans. Yuck.

 

[Boonapalist]

Keep Your Head Ringin can’t be topped when it comes to corny bars.

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

Okay thanks for your honesty. I was 13.

When I first heard it at that age? My reaction was it's intro was scary as shyt! The devil telling the guy to kill himself. Hearing that as a kid was like a horror movie.

That's my factual reaction. I may have turned it off and listened to it later.

I loved the beats. Later when I was 15 I played it so much. I'll throw it on now no prob.

Walk in New York is incredible. The drums etc.

Coli - is All we got iz us considered a hip hop classic based on consensus?

I feel it didn't seem that way when it dropped but in retrospect I think it totally is. It's a damn near perfect hip hop album.

To me, it's a classic due to a lot of time passing and it being a dope album. But it's not a classic in the same vein as other albums from that era.

It's a dope album but to me it's like Tical...dope, classic songs, but just lacking a certain "something" to put it over the edge to true classic level, but I not mad if someone says "nah it's classic, straight up"

[Awesome Wells]

Sexy nikkas get abducted.

Even in '95, this line was wild.

But that was the slang back then in Queens, so I get it. Song is beyond classic. So even the weird lines are whatever. This was top-shelf Hip Hop when it dropped. Still is.

It's a "personal" classic to me.

It doesn't have the critical acclaim, sales, and/or impact to call it a "Classic" classic.

But to me it's a damn near flawless album. Songs/lines still randomly pop in my head.

Honestly, if we made a list of like 5 different criteria and agreed that an album couldn't be considered an actual CLASSIC classic without hitting like 4 out of 5 of them, the "Actual Classic" list would be small as hell.

 

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

Sticky fingaz is one of my personal favorites. He is definitely one of the goats. I can't believe the onyx slander.

 

[theflyest]

You can probably pick apart anything if you’re not listening with the context of that era.

 

[tehparadox]

You know I have often thought this

Saying this as a fan of the group

The song was about the energy and dark vibe
