I'm switching my steelo of music for a quick second and I'm looking for hip hop on the more feel good vibe. Like Arrested Developments old shit. or Wyclef, that type of thing. Or Lost Boyz.
I'm thinkin bout coppin the new Devin on 8/27, he's on that laid back tip.
Whats some other positive...
E-40 - ballatician
Styles - Gangster and Gentleman
Wyclef - Masquerade
all 3 are tight. expand your minds and cop em.
anyone got these? obviously most got E-40 on here but the others
Persecution of the Long Beach Anarchists
On April 20, 2002, detectives in Long Beach, CA followed two anarchist youth after a punk show and pulled them over at a traffic stop because they claimed they smelled "gasoline fumes." The police searched the car and allegedly found what they described...
They got 4 albums:
Kill My Landlord
Genocide and Juice
Steal This Album
Party Music
What do you think their best one is? I'm leaning toward Steal This Album, but each one has its own feel. I think STA is more of a hip hopper album, G&J is more of a west coast funk album, and Party Music is...
this shit is too real. learn about it. this is your tax $$$ at work.

this shit is tight. its on some real lyrical positive shit, but its actually a good ass CD. good beats, good musical arrangements (yes as in they have real musicians not only keyboard sounds), and the lyrics are on another level.
I got for only $9 at Target! I think they made it hella cheap on...
I checked some stores for Styles and Nocturnal Hustlers and didnt see either one anywhere, I was also looking for Goodie Mob - Soul Food (to upgrade from a tape to a CD) and I didn't see ANY goodie mob Cds in any stores, well I only checked Wherehouse and Tower. But thats still crazy, there...
Yall heard these? i think they dropped in '00 or so
they're both about the criminal justice system, on the political tip, you can get a real education just by scooping the albums cuz they got inserts with statistics and facts and damn near every song has something to say.
All the cuts on both...
I'm pretty sure this is the case. I thought this CD was straight, tighter than most of the shit yall yell about in here. Herm doesnt rap but who cares, he kicks some real shit. And most of the beats slap harder than Ike. its original shit.
I think there is a serious problem with the commercialization of music in general, hip hop more specifically, and the Bay Area independent rap scene in particular. When participating in an art form is viewed as a hustle, it means that "artists" will value making money over the actual music...
I just picked this up, its a tight book. all these stories about death row, incarceration, the criminal justice system, racism and all that other bullshit. its easy 2 read too. check it out.
this song is tight as fuck, on that political shit but with a tight beat. its off the coups last album "party music," and if you aint heard it go get the mp3. better yet go get the full CD for $10.99 at half.com or $12.99 at cheap-cds.com.
