black thought has become one of the most boring MCs ever. he talks about the same stuff (personally, i never want to hear him talking about performing live on stage with his band ever again) in virtually every song with the same flow. he even sounds bored with himself.

I was sure this revive would be for the recent Black Thought freestyle on Flex

Listened to "Things Fall Apart" for the first time in ages last week. What an awesome sounding record.

xppost Jesus. Forget his virtuosity, that really makes me appreciate how slow my brain is.

yeah it's one of the best radio "freestyles" i've ever seen, even moreso because the lyrics are actually great and deep, not just impressive technically the in the late Eminem or whoever battle rap youtube bullshit perhaps i'm bad because i stab a crab and slap my dad with a maxipad in the back of a taxicab type junk

Funny how old-school skills are so suited to the viral clip era.

yah its good, was going through roots stuff yesterday after watching it. i dunno how someone can do that without breaking for ten minutes or whatever. no slip-ups.

literally indistinguishable from the quotes from the new Em album on the other thread. uncanny.

was weird reading this thread and seeing all the hate for it. been a top ten roots track since i first heard it.

Things Fall Apart is still one of my favorite sounding albums ever and I go back to it at least once a year. Can't say that for any Roots album since. Also sounds the best out of that crop of Soulquarians @ Electric Ladyland records.

havent listened to that one in years but i reckon it's still my favorite roots record.

Spottie, Friday, 15 December 2017 18:02 (six years ago) link

How I got over and rising down are pretty underrated. Great band

I haven’t checked Anything since rising down, which I liked at the time

Spottie, Friday, 15 December 2017 18:07 (six years ago) link

i'm guessing there's still no such thing as a bad roots record but i also haven't really checked out anything since how i got over

game theory was my fav when i listened to this band regularly, maybe i should go through the whole catalog soon

flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 15 December 2017 18:12 (six years ago) link

yeah same. i started in on Do You Want More yesterday.

aways loved the organ on I Remain Calm
