Pharoahe Monch is crazy nice.
Desire, WAR and Internal Affairs all get play from me.

pharoahe is the one of the illest mc's to ever touch a mic.

it's crazy that he has such a sick flow despite having horrible asthma. i remember reading an interview around the time that Internal Affairs dropped and he said that his asthma actually helped him develop his flow since he had to learn to breath a certain way just to rhyme. dude is :ohlawd: status. how many mc's of his technical skills are respected enough to be able to rock with underground cats like shabaam sadeeq and cella dwellas and then turn around and guest star on tracks by dj quik and nate dogg? :myman:

but yeah, "Simon Says" not being cleared really did fukk up his popularity. Internal Affairs got pulled off the shelves, all the publishing gone to the composers of the "Godzilla" theme song. man, rawkus put out some good music but man were those rich white boys who ran that shyt some really terrible businessmen.

i rock with all three OK albums more than his solo shyt but monch still brings it on every release although lately he's treading the "i'm a dope mc, but i'd rather sing and be a rockstar" line like cee-lo and andre 3000.

why do all the dope rappers want to rather sing that rap now? :noah:

Evidence that radio was barely shiit in the late 90s/early 2000s too...although this got video video play, it shoulda been on heavy rotation.....:yeshrug:......

one of my favorite records of his all-time, with let's organize.

one of my favorite moments on stage was when they spun this.

then me and all the michigan emcees, lo etc....

i sang the hook onkey and spit a freestyle that night.

after we all performed at the blind pig, for the crowd's encore!!

one of the many cool nights on stage.

Isn't he doing a rock album or something next? Horrible idea

Wish he could dig out some 90s-era Diamond beats from the vault.. The Truth and The Light are probably my favorite 2 beats of all time
