It is obvious that a lot of people like DAS EFX right?  I bought the 
CD a while back and like it is slammin' n' all that...but one thing 
bothers me about the album.  All the cussin' is slurred.  It is not 
like I am advocating the use of that language, but how did this come 
about?  I could just imagine DAS EFX in a meeting with EASTWEST 
RECORDS AMERICA...some executive guy goes: "Hey guys! I got an idea! 
Let's slur all them cus words out of your album!"  DAS EFX: "Why?"
Executive: "Well if you have no swearing you will get radio play and 
lots more record sales...Mo' Money!" DAS EFX: "Mo' Money? All we gotta 
do is slur the cussin'?  Alright, let's do it!"

Or am I way off here?  They are on a Time Warner label so they are not 
being forced to censor it...unless of course the cops sent some death 
threats.  I just don't get why they wrote lyrics with swearing when 
it would not appear on the album?!?

Later.

"Artistic Differences?"  When Serch came to Dartmouth for Rock the Vote, he
was really drunk and belligerent and couldn't stop talking about how much he
hates white people.  (Has he looked in a mirror lately?)  Maybe he got his fade
cut too close to his head.  I expected someone chill, but I was sorely
dissappointed.  I don't think I could work with a dork like that guy either.
Pete Nice and Richie Rich's album is supposed to be fat.  I saw a review of it
somewhere... (and a while ago).  Now I suppose we'll see who had the talent
in 3rd Bass.  (I suspect it was Sam Sever and Prince Paul.) *grin*

Yes...I never said anything bad about the lyrics, but the sound all put
together lacks something that I want in what I listen to. Just listen to
tracks like "Natural" (on their 12") and maybe you see what I mean. IMO
"Tennessee" is the best track, but the rest I don't like at all.

The lyrics are intelligent endeed, but they are not of the type I like either.
I agree with Icu Cube when he says :

"You want a free Afrika, I'll stare at ya,
 'cause we ain't got it to good in AmeriKKKa"

By this he means that people have to focus their strength and minds on
the problems of today. Afrika has lots of problems today, but Cube wants
people to solve their own stuff in their own backyards. Arrested Development
in "Tennessee" does the contrary in my eyes. Remembering everything from
the past will surely make strong, violent feelings to grow within people,
and that is not my idea of a good way to create harmony between races.
Instead of just remembering how their forefathers were hung, they could
have focused that strength into something more positive and to plant new
ideas into peoples minds. No problems are solved by just sitting and 
remembereing all the bad times you've had. Therefor I don't like them...

don't know how to make an E-mail connection...I've only been on the 
receiving end.  If anybody could post a message to me, MC Flash X, 
explaining how, I would love to chat about hip-hop (rap to most people).  
By the way, did anybody see the new Rolling Stone, Issue 639?  On page 96 
some idiot named Danyel Smith dissed Too $hort.  This fool said the album 
was misogynist and scary, and the album got a 2?!  Maybe it is misogynist, 
but so is a lot of good hip-hop, such as N.W.A., Black Sheep, etc.  As long 
as we ourselves aren't misogynist because of these groups, then it 
shouldn't be "scary".  I urge hip-hop fans to write Rolling Stone and tell 
Mr. Smith to suck a big fat piece of caca de toro.  And if anybody wants to 
know who my favorite rappers are, it would take too long to mention all of 
them, but I can say who I hate quickly.  I hate Marky Mark and the Fucky 
Bunch, I hate Vanilla Ice, JT, Levar, Icy Blu, that white MF'er in the 
gorup N2DEEP (Johnny Z?), and I'm also cultivating a serious dislike for 
Gerardo, who I'm told is the Vanilla Ice of Spanish rap.  But just so I

I don't get why they write lyrics with swearing then slur or beep them

left in.  "fuck" does not rhyme with "cufk" (slurred) or "BEEP"

Do what NWA does, make versions without cursing so at least the lyrics
