I always wished he had. Its like, guy wasn't that great a rapper, his flow and delivery sounded way too fake. His first singles seemed too much like parody rap to ever be taken seriously, I was surprised to find out that he wanted us to do such. Meh. I consider him like I do rappers like Wayne, all flash no substance. Pop music is meant to be shallow, empty, and meaningless, like the kind of shit you hear in an elevator or sitting in the chair at the dentist.

Check Your Head is my favorite Beasties album, followed closely by Ill Communications. I know it's hip to like Paul's Boutique more, but even growing up with them, those 2 albums blew my mind.

How can any MCs touch this record? Again. I don't even think Killah Priest knew how deep this record was going to get.. Its not a record, its a metaphysical reflection of Life in motion.

"Furthest Thing" is the best hip-hop song i've heard in a long time.

You know, "Killing Me Softly" might be the only rap single EVER that my moms was always singing and fell in love with.. That I think was the massive appeal of The Fugees, they lured in a lot of pop and mainstream people through some of their singles which were like the top tracks of the year all over the radio. It was a for better or worse situation, the fame clearly got to their heads, the way it did Tupac and other underground artists when they suddenly became the It Group (Black Eyed Peas, you know I'm looking at y'all, and Fergie, seriously, chick you are too buff, it always looks to me like she is wearing shoulder pads and I ain't talking about those Delta Burke 1980s lame kind of shoulder pads, I'm talking about NFL linebacker full-contact pads ![]()

Yeah! The beat, there are "scratches" all around, the sampling, and Wyclef be coming with those rap choruses. Its subtle, but I don't think The Fugees intended that track to become some kind of "pop" song, it was just another rap tune from that album. Listened to in a vacuum, yeah its harder to spot, but bump it in sequence on that album in between The Family Business and The Score and it fits like a glove (beats wise) I think the folks who bumped that single like crazy as pop music might have been surprised listening to "The Mask" or "The Beast".. That album could have changed the world, but the singles were too popular and didn't promote the rest of the album well enough. Again, I think it definitely led to my favorite era in hip-hop, between 1997-2004 when a lot of underground, conscious, and genuinely artistic hip-hop dominated the narrative, until that Crunk shit blew it off the radio. However, I don't think enough people really contemplated just how revolutionary the lyrical content was to that record. Shit, I don't think that Lauren Hill and Wyclef even kept it real enough thereafter, they succumbed to their own pop hype, and became caricatures of themselves in the spot light. The best thing that ever happened to them individually was the decline in the popularity of their careers. It forced them to go back and internalize.. get back to their roots (sort of, Lauren is still sort of crazy, but Wyclef has redeemed himself more or less)

Such focus has already paid off, said Steinberg. "He made his own record. He wouldn't listen to anybody. And there were songs — I'm just going to say this, and he's probably going to get mad at me — that could have been top hits on the charts that he recorded but he chose not to put them on the record. He wants to grow into his voice. "He was like, 'I don't want to have a number one my first time around with this. Can I take my time with this?' I mean, we've had some crazy conversations." |
