Title: Slimm Calhoun's "The Skinny" was a deep album that everybody forgot about....
Post by: TraceOneInfinite Flat Earther 96' on February 04, 2005, 12:20:56 AM

This album was underated and all but forgotten but it was probably one of the best albums of 2001, and 3 of the songs on the album are timeless.  I'll repeat, timeless, that means they are classic, and you could listen to them now, or 30 years from now and they would still have a powerful effect on you.  I bought this album the day it came out.  Naturally I copped the record hoping to hear something along the lines of Outkasts "Stankonia" album that had dropped at the end of 2000, I wasn't the least bit dissapointed.

Check out these lyrics...

"Timelock"

"I'm in a timelock trapped in hell/
The World is my cell/
I feel I'm better off dead or in jail...

Shit keeps revolvin/
Problems I keep solvin/
But I'm trapped in this door of hell/
And it keeps revolvin"

^^^^ That is some real talk.  "Problems I keep solvin/But I'm trapped in this door of hell/And it keeps revolvin".... that is intensely poetic!  How can you not feel that?

Does anybody else even atleast remember this album?

Really, the singles he dropped should have blown up ("It's OK and "Cut Song").  Although, the best songs on the album were the deep ones...

1.  "Timelock"
2.  "Worldy Ways"
3.   "Lil Buddy-Till Death Do Us Part"


........Also, "Red Clay" needs to be mentioned too, don't forget how hot that track was.
