Love Rittz he’s an elite emcee. Shocked he picked “Ha” from that album, but not 400 Degrees the title track as the was def the dopest/darkest song on that album.

The Guy album is a classic, but “it was too hard for the pop charts” is simply not true. It reached 27 on Billboard 200 and is DOUBLE PLATINUM! It was 34 on year End Billboard 200 chart and number 1 on year end R&B/HipHop Billboard end of year charts. Pop doesn’t always mean bad R.A it’s okay man (I say that as major fan). Many of the illest ever (in every genre have gold/platinum albums). Many also don’t sell a lot at all or who are ILL AF PS GZA Labels was a creative wordplay song using labels. Every Record Label sucks dick wasn’t that. Illest in Wu are Method Man, GZA, INS, Rae & Ghost. Best lyrically/emcees Meth & INS.

Where is the Chino XL featuring RA the Rugged man song?!?! It never came out? 😅 Also what is the “secret project” he was talking about?

I was actually shocked on QuestLove podcast (which Phonte is on as an ILL emcee and historian as well) when they had Pharoahe Monch on and Phonte said The Equinox was his favorite album of theirs. I was like what that’s clearly not as ILL as first 2 classics. It’s better than you guys made it sound, but it was def their weakest overall imo. No clue how someone as ILL as Phonte would think that 😅😆😅. Pharoahe def in my top1-7 GOAT tier.

Beastie Boys were not the same when he quit. Why did DJ Hurricane quit the Beastie Boys? Because his black peers kept making fun of him for DJing for a bunch of white boys. They’d also say stuff like, “Why do you work for the white man? They should be working for you! They should be your beo t ch! Don’t be a white man’s beo t ch!” DJ Hurricane felt peer pressure and shame from his black peers so he quit the Beastie Boys. If any of this is wrong then prove it! Otherwise, this is what happened.

Bob James has nothing of interest to say here about sampling outside of his not 'getting his.' He would be forgotten for his mediocre music but not for being sampled which has afforded him a long career, and for that he should bow down to Run DMC rather than lament it.

This EP is a gem but hands down the holy grail when it comes to De La (RIP Dave) wax is Smell The Da.I.S.Y. (Da Inner Soul Of Yancy) LP RSD White ONLY 100 pressed by De La an it featured all exclusive production by J Dilla aka Jay Dee (RIP) imo

Hands down the only album that I can play and never get tired of. The best thing is that the lyrics evolve with those of us that lived during this time on up until this day. Africa makes me tear up because of the love that is described as a pen letter that fathers should feel towards their children. Chills man

I'm glad he's getting recognition and compensation for his fantastic music. You can't just take someone else's hard work and use it for yourself without permission. His records Nautilus and Take Me to the Mardi Gras(Breaking Bells) was being cut on Technic turntables in the 70s and 80s in inner city parks. Hundreds of his records were bought by DJs all over. That he got paid big for.
