Company Flow...

HarveyCanal said:I pretty much only liked The Fire in Which You Burn by the Indelible MC's...and then a lil later I kinda liked that End to End Burners video. But that was it for me. To me, El-P represented the first incarnation of internet rap, which was typically skill-oriented, conspiracy theory laden, college campus rap, taking cues from prior Organized Konfusion songs to the hilt. Unfortunately for them, none of the artists that came up during that period ever did a single thing as good as had Organized Konfusion.

Also, can we turn this into an Organized Konfusion appreciation thread? Because I was listening to Stress: The Extinction Agenda yesterday, and holy fucking shit, that album still amazes.

This is both on-point and insightful.




I see what you are saying but putting OK next to CO. Flow is not fair for either, Organized were actually musically relevant and talented

Sorry, but you are taking your Co Flow hate too far by saying that.

possibly, but with a few exceptions i personally always found company flow just okay, they had some decent production at the time, but I really dont think anything beyond a couple of singles would be regarded as timeless, where as OK had 3 albums that i can still listen to from start to finish. Add to that Pharoahe is still putting out some really good music yet I havent heard anything from those guys in I dont know how long. I will give Co Flow credit for doing a great live show back when they were touring FCP though.

IMO Funcrusher is a great Album that get lots of spins arround here, its that kind of music that makes you gonna grab some phat marker. Though, i dont want to add anything new from them to the collection. what they did is timeless in its own way and a great addition to real hiphop of that time.





btw





anybody been to the show? how was it?
