Peace,

ah man!


i have this on hold at the bookstore, was hoping to pick it up and enjoy some of it.


damn.





The Hell like cover makes it look fonky.


guess not.
 
Solid album! Pete Rock is a master! The features are dope too; Sean Price, Freeway, Raekwon, and Styles P. I really dig the track "Thats Hard"


"Listen, A lot wack niggaz rappin now and I know why, One cornball pop so the rest want to go try, all praises due to Allah no bow tie"--- Sean P!





I have always been a fan of Smif N Wessun and this is their best albums since Da Shining IMO, Coca Brovas- The Awakening was dope too but I think this new one is a bit better.

There's an instrumentals edition of NY's Finest too










hey these aren't bad! thanks.


will cop for only $6.
 
ok ya'll correct me if i'm wrong here,


but in that clip is see cops telling fools to walk away and/or move...


i then see aforementioned fools running their mouths and/or getting up in aforementioned cops grills...


i then see aforementioned cops using force to move aforementioned fools away.





right?
 
Why are the cops there to begin with? Why are there so many cops there? Why the hell do people need to leave a public street? Why do cops think they've been hired to play Simon and if you don't do what Simon Says you get beat with a stick?
 
I'm a supporter of GOOD cops. But I agree the point is to restrain not beat up.





Now I feel bad about making this thread. Thanks NYPD!
 
I liked. I think most of the beats were good but the rhymes really never caught my ear much. Not amazing but good.

"Random Axe, the hip-hop supergroup featuring Sean Price, Black Milk and Guilty Simpson, released their long-awaited self-titled debut album last Tuesday (June 14) on Duck Down Music. The 15-track album arrives after the trio first started mulling a collaborative effort in 2008, with Detroit native Black Milk handling the entirety of the album's production."

I don't know exactly what went down to jump off what the cops and the party goers to end up like it did. But being from around the way I keep it moving when I see the po- lice and u don't hang out posted up after the club let's out. Don't wanna give nobody no excuses be it the cops or some other misc sucka.
 
I listened to the random axe. Didn't like taht either. More boring music. Sounded like they tried to make "Underground" music. The drums were cool on some songs but the i didn't like the samples very much. Pretty boring. I didn't think the keyboard sounds were incorparated vey well either.
