Title: (Mad) Skillz - Hip-Hop
Post by: =[Euthanasia]= on December 01, 2002, 05:08:59 AM

What does everybody think of this track? I loved "Crew Deep" but this song is the best new stuff i've heard from him in a while. It's basically about the state of hip-hop, how he grew up on it etc. It's sort of like Common's "I Used To Love H.E.R" only he doesn't refer to hip-hop as a 'her', he gives Common's track props on this song too. I think this song will sum up alot of peoples feelings on how watered down hip-hop has become. For those of you who haven't heard it yet you can check it out in mp3 here;

Thanks for taking the time out to reply guys, didn't think there would be that many fans of him here but I thought i'd make this thread anyway 'cos the song deserves the props. The link does work only you have to sign up to get access to the audio. It's worth signing up, it only takes a few mins, this guy has ALOT of great audio posted up, from mainstream - underground.
