Smokefest 99 by Tash, Outkast, B-Real and Phil da Agony was an underrated joint

[Magnum P.I.M.P.]

Picked up the album after seeing this on Rap City

Love that track. Dope beat and they both levitate on it.

 

[THE 101]

This was dope too....Battlecat production

 

[MurderToCassette]

Minnesota chopped the fukk out of that 7 Minutes of Funk

this was my favorite one from that album

 

[Majestyx]

The liks dont get talked about at all. If it wasnt for the liks we'd have no madlib. This album was dope, but i remember it had very little push

 

[Mike Wins]

Ran this album back today

Still hold up

Forgot about this album. It was a good one. Tash had the talent and charisma to have more commercial success than he did. Loud didn't know how to market their west coast acts. Xzibit spoke on this on Drink Champs. Can't remember the details but basically the only reason Restless blew up is Dre secured a big budget from Loud and took over from there.

I agree with the spirit of what you’re saying. And I always loved their music.

But I wonder if things coulda worked out differently, marketing wise, if they weren’t called Tha Alkaholiks.

(Dope thread though)

I'm sure it didn't help far as real mainstream acceptance but that wasn't their lane anyway

Feel like Tash had more commercial appeal solo than the group did though. One of those cases where his album was well received by those that heard it but never got the marketing push to reach a wide audience

I agree with this. He never really rapped about street shyt. Usually just party vibes.

And I can't really explain it but I always thought he stood out. (All Tash verses time stamped)







And not just among tha Alkaholiks. I thought he always held his own with whoever.

 

[Ces1ne?]

Whole album was underratedAF, plus it used to KNOCK in the system

 

[Methodical]

Tash is dope as fukk and I love Tha Alkaholiks. They got mad slept on and underrated.

[Sean7]

Definitely one of the best songs on this album. I was a huge Liks fan back in the 90s but for some reason I never got this album, need to listen again and possibly pick it up.

Ran this back today. One of them albums that was much better than a lot of the shyt that got more attention in real time entertaining start to finish even with some misses.
