That second Artifacts album

[faux_rillz]

Why do I own a copy of this?I just listened to it for the first time in probably close to a decade and these guys are seriously not what's up.The production and the fact that it was 1994 really camouflaged their shortcomings on the first album.b/wShawn J. Period = why, exactly, did dudes think he was so great for a minute? His schitts on the Artifacts record are just boring.

I think I might be willing to put a small amount of money down that one of you poptarts comes on here tawmbout "but his drum sounds, yo!"

Shame on you for buying this in the first place. I like their first record though.

Me too.

This was before the days of downloading a preview--shame on me for gripping it for ten years, though.

 

[Jonny_Paycheck]

You know, I checked out the first single and just was not feeling it... never went past that.

I see your ARtifacts and raise you with a Cella Dwellas

Cella Dwellas suck. That Artifacts record had 3 decent tracks on it, which was very disappointing based on their 1st album.

sayin, I'm just glad that all that crap in my collection was from my college radio free promo days

Loud was ridiculous with all the slightly different promos they gave out to every tom dick and harry

Correct me if i'm wrong, but don't most people know about 9th Creation, Jack Bruce, Galt Mc Dermot and a couple of others BECAUSE of such groups like Atifacts and Cella Dwellas?? (add Smiff & Wess and friends...)
I'm sayin', they wasnt the greatest rappers, even tho' i could argue with you about UG from Cella Dwellas being a damn good rapper. The second Artifacts LP sucks azz for sure and the 1st one is a classic (thanks to T-RAY). Im feeling what you're saying, but i'm kind of missing that era so much that i feel bad bashing groups like Artifacts. And "The Ultimate" (the Showbiz version) wasn't that bad...Or was it??lol...

 

[faux_rillz]

Cella Dwellas suck.

This group is great.

Not so much for their music but for making explicit the connection between backpackerism and Dungeons and Dragons.

Naw, it was really quite good. But yeah, otherwise...

The real question for Yung Rillz is whether he owns any Brick City Kids 12"s.

LOL

Yeah, I did buy that 12" when it came out, on some "Beatnuts + The Artifacts = Yes, plaese!" but was immediately disappointed.

Do I or do I not recall you speaking up in defense of this record within the past five years, though?

And wasn't there a spate of El da Sensei vs. Tame One dis 12"s during the Sandbox era?

That schitt is comedy--it's like me thinking the listening public has an interest in my beef with the dude from the mailroom.

did ANYONE hear any of these 12"s?

Why did you remind me i bought that, eyes closed. And i clearly remember how thin the vinyl was so it was very easy for me to do a frisbee with. Or maybe i threw it above steam to re-do some Dali's clock...

Bet the dude who coined the phrase Rawkus Deadstock Gold! has...

 

[batmon]

the Artifacts are just boring.

 

[Hotsauce84]

This thread is getting silly. Artifacts are dope, Tame and El both have a unique, distinct style and flow. The first album was hot and The Ultimate album version and Showbiz rmx was dope. Brick city kids was the joint too. Both Tame and El have made quality material since.

Yeah, but this Faux's thread. He hates his indie backpacker past with a vengeance.

 

[izm707]

Not so long ago i dug up some shyt i used to love back then...I must admit that 10% of my back-in-the-days playlist is mad suspect. Example : Scott Lark Da Sensei. I guess i was the only one feeling him back then, and still is.
