>Does anyone know when it officially comes out?
Per _Bad Blood_. It is out now...in the UK. US release is slated for next
month. Wonderful disc. Easily going to be my favorite of 1998. Nothing
can top it (at least I can't imagine anything that can....) Plus upcoming
remixes by Company Flow, Alec Empire, and Scotty Hard!
>WHOA! blixa does hiphop? fucked-up! i am THERE.
His participation is quite small actually.
>Not to mention, I have yet to
>hear one decent MC come out of Europe (besides Roots Maneuva and Le
Gooster).
I think the opposite (from my perspective). Too many US MCs get all caught
up in gangsta fronting and lack any true thought. Barely any intelligence
since the days of Ice-T (_OG_) and PE (_Nation of Millions_). Today's US
MCs haven't said a damn thing besides "40s, gats, and booty!". Bleah. If
the MC had a brain it might be worthwhile. (Bitter that X-Ecutioners
wasted their fine DJ talents by letting such crap MCs on top. Bleah!)
Many UK MCs on the otherhand, have their heads on straight. For instance,
there is Blade, Jupiter Jam, Toastie Taylor, Lewis Parker, etc.
I will give props to Company Flow, but them chaps talk so fast you can't
tell what they're saying anyway. (The "gabber" of the Hip Hop community!)
Plus Sensational, but who can make out what that chap is saying either? He
puts the word "abstract" into lyrical quality.
[Saul Williams seems fairly intelligent too, but I know not from where he
hails, so.....).
And apologies for my last message getting sent THREE too many times. (Tail
between legs)
Sorry.
