2766451, bep - joints & jams was one of the most fun hip-hop songs ever made.

real talk.
this song should have 10x bigger than it was in 1998.
but it was like 5-6 years too late.
2766452, the video mix was dope.

pity the rest of that album was sub-par native tongues-lite.
2766454, they definitely picked the right songs to be singles if i remember right...

everything on there aside from fallin up and joints & jams was dull.
i only listened once though.

edit: i think it may have been more pharcyde than native tongues but they were pretty close anyway...
2766583, Add Duet and we may agree

It wasn't bad per se, but it just doesn't stand out at all. And I own the album.

>pity the rest of that album was sub-par native tongues-lite.

completely disagree. beats-wise, that was one of the most innovative hip hop albums ever. TONs of quality live instrumentation, funky as hell, and fun (though not super complex) wordplay. hard pressed to find a hip hop album with that amount of live instrumentation these days.

2766462, agreed.

And unlike most on this board I enjoyed those first two albums
2766463, most people seem to think that those early albums were good.
Posted by ninjitsu, Tue Jan-01-13 07:09 PM
they were not.
2766464, can we agree that joints & jams was a top to bottom dope single?
Posted by bavid dammer, Tue Jan-01-13 07:12 PM
dope beat, dope hook, dope verses...
a super-fun record.
it would have probably been more impacting in 1992/1993 but it was still dope nevertheless in 1998.
i.e. better late than never.
2766466, i agree with you 100%.

i dont know
i think bridging the gap is a good ass rap record
it holds up IMO
2766502, Agreed.
Posted by PolarbearToenails, Tue Jan-01-13 10:13 PM
And also agreed with whoever wrote that the two singles on that record were really fun and everything else wasn't much of anything.
2766506, yup, i liked it

Those first two albums were very good.
2766614, all 3 songs on that cassette single were in looped rotation
Posted by T Reynolds, Wed Jan-02-13 02:17 PM
i liked fallin up better as a song but joints and jams was more radio friendly
2766755, yup. and those first two albums are solid
