[toymachine78]

Old school is the best school, before it got all angry and about bitches and ho's

De La Soul... give these folks a good hard listen.

I used to just have 36 Chambers in my CD player in my car when i first got my license. I never took it out, i love that album. Never really went past that for Wu Tang Clan. Always told myself i would check other stuff out. I guess there's still some time.

shimmy shimmy yaaaaaa

Dr Octogon (and a few of KKs odd ball incarnations)
and
Del TFH were the ones i listened to most.

i never got into Wu or a lot of the others.  i liked hip hop on the surface, but not really a fan of rap.
and yes, there is a difference.

Probably.

Didn't that Wu Tang guy cut off his own dong and then jump out of a 2nd/3rd floor window and sprain his ankle, surviving to live a dongless life?

I always that rappers were posers, but that was harcaw!

What.

Also, Del is good. I don't listen to rap much at all anymore, but Del is good. Also, I like MC Chris. :3

I've gotten back into rap lately, but I've been listening to older stuff like NWA and Public Enemy. I thought I had outgrown rap, but it just turns out most newer rap sucks.

Of course, it was all over the news. Crazy lunatic. Just not sure how to respond to that statement, though.

I know all about that album.  I originally heard Blue Flowers on some random underground hip hop radio show that I think was broadcast out of Santa Barbara in the late 90's.  They played a lot of dope stuff, & helped me explore the underground side of hip hop more.  I eventually found an instruemental version of Octagonecologist, but then was able to special order the album from a tiny record shop near me(along with other underground stuff).  Later I found out about places like Fat Beats & Aron's down in Hollywierd & was buying all kinds of offbeat un-commercial stuff.  Unfortunately for Kool Keith, Dr Octagon was the only album of his that I really liked.  That Black Elvis album was alright IIRC, I'll have to listen to that one again.
