I have to say I didnt find it all great. Although the beats were pretty
tasty for
many of the songs I think they're lyrics and flow leave much to be desired.
This is considering the album was very lyric-centric rather than
beat-centric.
Definitely not the Roots.
I know a lot of people really dig it & I dont want to start a flame war... I
just
wanna make my voice heard as an AJ subscriber who loves hip hop and jazz but
wasnt that into the BEP album. But I can see why people would like it. I
just dont think we should knock hip hop headz as narrow-minded & ignorant
for not liking it.
Also, the little interludes that they have between songs - is that not a
direct rip off of 3 feet high and rising? I could see how one could make a
reference to De La but change it around a bit, but this seemed to be almost
the same as the De La interludes except not as funny.
whats up with that?
peace
