So? There's always somebody somewhere that can be considered better than some cat. That doesn't mean Q-Tip sucked or wasn't influencial in Hip Hop. It just means that you aren't a Tribe fan...

C'mon man. You can't tell me Bonita Applebum wasn't some cake-ass shit. I mean, I like the beat *coughRoyAyerssamplecough*, but that's about it. And "Check The Rhyme" was okay because of the Fifer.

Hand me that Bonita Applebum beat and I will MURDER that shit!

Wrong thread, sorry.

In 1990? Probably not.

Tip is just as good on Check the Rhyme as Phife was. Phife happens to be my favorite of the two, but I'm not crazy enought to dismiss Tip. I'll give you plenty of good examples on Monday.

It's just like hoops. The MCs of twenty years ago couldn't possibly compete with the guys spittin' rhymes in the new millennium.

I'd like for Goff to weigh in on this conversation. The thread IS named after him, after all.

Soft

See, Jake be gettin illy when the sun get dark
They be comin out the heads, but shit don't let me start
Their activities are plenty in nighttime(nighttime)
For the ghetto child, it seems to be the right time
See, kids be gettin stuck with jewels and fly gimmicks
Shorty see the action and then start to mimic
Runnin to the corner, the dice game is blazin
Lookin at the loot, it seems so amazin
Puts it short down, to be exact would bound
He shakes the stones in his hand, then he lets it down(uh!)
Scam money don't make none
He threw a trip on the ace, now he's out son
Hits the local bodega to woof down a hero
Son is on a 'Midnight Run' like De Niro
Spots the shorty rock standin on his block
The thieves be handlin in the pumps,so he asked it it's not
Conversation that he kicked to the shorty was a sly one
Increased intensity, his dance sure was a fly one
Took her to the crib there she ran her gibs
About mind upliftment and bein positive
He yawned and he sighed til 1:05
Then he finally realized that hunny wasn't live
At least he didn't plan on buildin for the evenin'
Threw the Fila on the dome and said 'Come on yo, we leavin'
Came out on the scene as he told her to beep him
Saw his man Sam with the blunt in his hand
(Aww Shhh...!!!)You know the transaction
Brothas gettin lost in the weed satisfaction
Comin down the block man loud as (fuck)
You would swear Redman was inside the trunk
As the night seemed darker, cops is on a hunt
They interrupt ya cipher, and crush ya blunt
See you left your work at home, so they pat you down for nuthin
Why in the hell does 10-4 keep frontin?
You push to the park, even though it's still dark
The kid is nice on the hoop, he said 'I'll spot ya troop'

In my mind, I'm elbowing you in the face right now.

Hey, I like non-grimey rappers. Kweli isn't grimey. And I liked C.L. Smooth back in the day. Now if Fifer could've gotten with C.L. and Pete Rock, I would've been a fan for life.

I'm just going to assume that you haven't heard a lot of Tribe. Which is fine. Everybody can't listen to everything. Not enough time for all that. It may be a little unfair, however, to base an opinion on a couple of songs when they have a shit load of work out there...

I'll be honest. I'm biased because I haven't heard that much of them. What I've heard was just "aaaight" to me. Not good, not bad. Just aaaight.

I agree, I'm not being fair. I'll just wait to see what you have on Monday.

What were the songs coming out of the break at 2:46, and opening the show today?

I listened to that yesterday! It's quite a good album. I really love "Annie Waits" and "Not the Same."

Considering that Pete Rock and C.L. have made plans to make another album and quickly degenerated into fighting again I doubt you will ever see that happen.

I know man. And I've liked some of C.L.'s solo stuff, but it always sounds like it's missing something. His 2007 album was decent. Not great, but decent. Would've been better with Pete Rock behind the board.
