marinatin' was the hottest track on that album.  bc powdah.

fuck it.  i just listened to "nature" again. and although "interview" flows better (and is a better concept, and a much better beat) i'm having a hard time making the argument that it's more significant than "nature".  a better song, but not more significant.

yeah definitely not more significant.. i just like the conversational aspect more then just spitting raw facts out..

The entire song is based on the book "The Isis Papers" by Frances Cress Welsing, been looking for it for a while.

How did you find that out?

Can't recall, I read it somewhere.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

alot of the information in "nature" can be found in various forms in numerous places.

marinatin' was the worst song on the album?  lol!  it had the tightest beat.  ras flow is nearly perfect on that one.  how many times can a person listen to "nature of the threat"??  i can throw on marinatin' just about anytime.

the funny thing is, rasassination, van gogh...etc.  alot of ras latest works favors that "marinatin'" type of vybe. sure he has the "interviews" and the "music of the business's"..etc, and i love those tracks too, but alot of his later material favors the sound and style i appreciated the most.  (ooh wee, grindin', 4 much, root of evil...etc).

yeah that is a very good intellectual rap song.  Ras Kass is a really smart guy.
