This should be interesting indeed.  Now after checkin the last SOURCE that I
picked up because I couldn't remember the Kane stuff being in the "Dennis
Files", I can only conclude that there is a new SOURCE out.  I'll have to go
see if I can find it.  To be honest, I haven't really read the last one yet. 
Maybe I've got my priorities in order?  Nah, I think I'm just gettin lazy on
all levels.

Its a pretty good album.  I don't think it is as good as everyone else on here
has been saying, but it's a pretty good purchase nevertheless.

Personally, I never heard the song, but with that title I just passed the 12"
for that up several times, writing it of as bullshit, even at the price of a
promo.  I never really heard anything about Sylk Smoov, and his song titles
didn't sound like anything I wold take a chance on.

	Did you read the article in last months SOURCE?  It was an
interview with Dr.Dre.  In it he said that last year, before 
_Death Certificate_ dropped, he had lunch with Cube.  They talked 
about about Dre producing about 3 of Cube's tracks.  But then he
found out about _No Vaseline_ and backed out.  The writer also mentioned
how there was regret and a sense of sadness in Dre's voice when talking
about Ice Cube.

I doubt Cube will do another cut on his album because of this.  1, because he
already dissed them.  2, because his album was probably already done when/if he
heard about this, and he probably figures its not worth the time.  IMO, Eazy-E
will have a very short solo career without the rest of NWA.

This sound's like a very dope tour,but I thought there was some
static between Ice T and Everlast(House Of Pain),in a uk interview
Everlast made some comments which might not have been apreciated by
Ice T,something about his rock band being better then his rapping.
Although I'd hope Ice T is more mature than to retaliate!.

BTW,does anyone know why Everlast was dropped by Syndicate,did he fall 
out with Ice or was his first lp just wack?.....

Well, since you asked.....  I have only listened to the album once and must say
it is very much worth $2.99 on CD.  But, it is not the greatest album in the
world.  the first side, the SkillZ side, Positive comes off on some tracks,
which are definate Pos K style.  Dope.  But the rest of them are OK.  You can
listen to them, but they don't strike you as anything great and you don't die
to hear them again.  The second side, the Pay Da Bills side, is OK for the
beginning songs, which include, "I Got A Man," which I liked.  But half way
through this side, you understand the side's title name.  He is definately
hoping for some radio play with these songs to, 'pay da bills.'  I could not
even finish listening to four of the last five songs, with the one being the,
"Nightshift," remix, which I like.  Remember, I have only listened to this
album once so far, and I have a bad habit of not caring for an album the first
time I hear it, at least hip hop albums, and suggest you take this into
account.  I will update my opinions when I hear it a few more time.  Any other
opinions on this album?

I don't know if it has anything to do with "BoB" or not, but it's definitely
from a Monkees song: "Zilch", from the "Headquarters" LP.  That'd make it
1967, not 1968, so kill me.

Did anybody else see the PM Dawn - Nike commercial this weekend, during
Da Bulls game on TV... I think the channel was WGN (Chicago I think)
it was about the third quarter when I saw it...

It centered around the fat guy in PM Dawn (for lack of better id..) teaching
a class of supposed "buddists" (I guess, they all were meditating, with bald
head and white robes... I know that stereotypical but this ain't the point)
about the art of basketball... P.M. Dawn style

It was called "total ball-controlled movement" (or somethin' like that).
They were watching PM on a big monitor, then they showed some people 
hoopin...

A "student" asks, "What happens if we're bad" (or somethin' like) and PM says
"Then you go to Detroit..." ouch!

I hate that fat guy.....!

Does anyone truly understand what hip hoppers, usually 5%ers, mean when they
say, "The Devil?"  There just seems to be a shallow idea of what this means. 
It is not a definition of a racist white person or a racist person period.  It
goes a bit deeper than that.  I don't want to truly get into this topic *yet*,
because I like to do some quick research and check ups before I really talk
deep about anything, but from my understanding, 'The Devil,' is strictly
diercted towards *all* white people and is something taught through the Nation
Of Islam.  If I'm correct, Malcolm X also had this belief until he went on his
mecca and learned this was incorrect in accordance with *true* Islamic
Teachings, which is different from the teachings of the NOI.  I bring this up
for two reasons: One, I see some people saying in effect, they are not talking
about me because I am not like that, which may be true in some cases, but
is not in the NOI Devil term, and Two, this is a conference on rap music,
and since this is mentioned a lot lately in rap music, it makes it a valid
topic in this group.  Perhaps by talking about this, we can come to really
understand what certain rappers are saying.  When I hear Grand Puba say, "The
Devil," I understand he is talking about *all* *white* people, from what I
understand of 5% teachings, which is nothing I've truly studied, only read
about here and there.  That's why I will leave it at this until I do some
researching, perhaps this weekend, or later, with exams coming up next week. 
Perhaps somebody else can comment *factually* on this, or perhaps will research
it themselves and come back with info for the net?

No, I'm not talking about Ed McMahon.  I'm talking about the new song from "old
school" (don't start the debate again) rapper Grandmaster Caz.  Caz is on the
comeback trail, as well as other old schoolers like Busy Bee, Melle Mel(that
remix of "The Message" he did with Nikolaj(sp) Stein was BULLSHIT!  If anybody
picked up Nikolaj's album, yeah he has a full album out now, please post some
info on it, although I doubt anything anyone could say or do(well let's not get
carried away) could convince me to buy it.)  GETTING BACK TO THE TOPIC...  When
I saw the video for this a few weeks ago, at first I wasnt quite sure if it was
new or not, but then from some of the samples and the references he made in his
rhyme, I realized it was something new.  As far as the song goes(The title of
the song was "Star Search", hence the title of this post), the lyrics were
pretty good.  They had sort of an old school style, but they were pretty
"modern".  However, the beat did sound like something from the early to mid
80's.  That might have been okay back then, when there was more emphasis on
lyrics than on the beat, but in this age of bullshit lyrics + danceable beat =
hit song that we live in now, I don't think Caz will get the sales he probably
should get.  I'm not gonna front; I din't particularly care for the beat
myself, but I thought the lyrics were pretty decent, and would buy it for that
reason, besides the fact that he has been around since back in the day and is
coming back to still rock it.  I'd like to see Spoonie Gee come back with some
new shit.  Anyway, anybody with opinions on any of the songs or artists I
mentioned, or about these "old school"ers making come backs, please feel free
to speak the fuck up.  The board is getting kind of dead.  We need some new
activity.  Peace out.

I am listening to Redman right now...
I picked up the disc about one week ago and I have been listening to
	it for a while..
AND IT DOES not IMPRESS ME ALL THAT MUCH...


I think that the boy does have skills, don't get me wrong, but after 
about 3 or 4 EPMD albums, I can't take another hit squad member, 
especially since this one doesn't really have his own style..

The question that I have for all of the REDMAN fans... is that are
they really fans of REDMAN, or are they fans of EPMD and the general
hit squad style..??? I mean, when I play this CD, I can't tell who
I am listening to. The whole thing sounds like I am either hearing
Parish Smith, Eric Sermon, or this Redman guy... I just need a hitsquad
release... 

Granted, he does have some good beats, clean production job, but it 
sounds like Parrish's little brother, plus I think that there are a
lot of cameos.. by EPMD (I guess) which kinda belabors the whole 
thing. I was wondering why I could pick this up for $11 at a used
CD shop... 

FINAL VERDICT::::

The album is not all that hot. Right after it was released, this board
was boiling hot, talking about how great this guy was, I went out and 
bought this.. If any of you would like this, then let me know..
I don't like a Rated R-EPMD impersonator... 
Tell him to get his own style....
Tell him to get his own beats....
Tell him to get another "funk flow"

Oh, and wash that mouth out too...And I love gansta rap (Da Mob, Cube, 
NWA, etc..) but he aint talkin' bout nothing... Thats kinda like my
boy Bizmarkie cussin' up a storm.. Its simply not necessary and it 
wouldn't fit him...

I'm out like a
"black man at a white woman's funeral"

What Up, Lopez...
Last I heard, the Almighty R.S.O. was dropped from Tommy Boy because of one
song that was SUPPOSED to be anti-cop... Apparently, the powers-that-be decided
that RSO was a "threat" to mainstream society.  Jack Thompson and some police
union even tried to sue RSO because of their lyrical content.

Peace...
