As in many artists cases, I think most people will find him to be DOPE if you look away from his commercial singles..
One of the most creative and original Westcoast-artists to come out of the West for a long time..

I enjoy listening to his shit, but his lyrics and flow are pretty simple and IMO, they sound like he wrote his lyrics 5 minutes before he layed his vocals down....at least that's how it sounds on his EP.

I think he is nothin special.  Str8 Westcoast is a very dope song, and Knoc does some great hooks, but his songs seem rather boring to me.  but like 60% of this board hopped on his nuts like flies on shit because he was affiliated with dre.  I bought his ep when it first came out, don't think I have even listened to the whole thing straight thru yet.  I got all of his unreleased mp3's and I don't even think I have heard all of them.

dope songs:
str8 westcoast
let's all roll og and rmx
any of the songs that have slip capone and/or timebomb

hes not just bringin a new aspect to the west...hes bringin a new style to all hip hop...hes probably one of the most creative in years...so underrated its not even funny tho...and his comercial singles...are just one..The Knoc...which was still tight...aside from that L.A. Nite n Day and Music were real tight...

Really Grundy-Loc??  Man.. I find him amazing because of his original flow and word play.  Most artist out the west come with some portion of a previously successful flow.. maybe change it a bit.. interpolute their own geographical slang.. etc.  But Knoc dont sound like nobody but himself.  He doesnt try to complicate things by tryin to flip lyrics.  He just delivers raw.. clear.. understandable rhymes.  I guess I feel him simply because I can understand him.  Im bummed at the fact that he didnt drop a full album and get the promotion he deserved.  I hate to say it but I kinda blame Dre for that.  Dre shouldve takin him under his wing.. and helped promote him along with Elektra.  LA Confidential is a new label and they couldve really used the advise and support of an established VET like DRE.  Its like Dre just did a few tracks.. appeared on a few.. then broke the fuck out!  The West is too damn greedy with all these artists with fuckin imprints who dont really know how to run em.  Niggaz need to click up and make sure labels like Elektra keep up their end of the bargen.  My opinion though..

I don't know, maybe I just havent listened to it enough.  I like his voice a lot, but his songs just never seemed all that special to me.  Not bad at all, just nothing that makes me want to bump him all the time.

Yay.
Somehow I have the feeling that you wouldn't have posted this during the period Knoc was hotter than fish-grease..
Rather a completely opposite post.. LoL

KNOC FOR 2003!!
