Shoulda had Reggie, Meth or Keith Murray rap over them beats

Erick Sermon cant rap at all

I'm listening to it now and i'm like this:
http://i.minus.com/iIdUrqeJTvgCv.gif

Dont ya'll come here saying Group Home either, they werent super lyrical but they had hardcore tone and mic presence that were sufficient enough to make the album tolerable

Erick Sermon though? He sounds like Ed Lova, Kid Capri, or some radio personality freestlying.

>Erick Sermon cant rap at all

Just giving fair warning.

Look at these lines:

"Rearranged cameo-type strange pumping through your veins
What your mommy do, if you're not ready to die like Biggie
I'ma keep jamming like Ziggy"

"Listen close life is just what you make of it
If you wanna Be Happy like Mary J.
Then hey, then get rid of negativity in your circumference
Or outside your realm in mass abundance"


I havent listened to them EPMD albums in a while so I'll just say he couldnt rap on this album. If the E Double was rapping his ass off on them EPMD albums then I dont know why he couldnt show a glimmer of skill on "Double or Nothing."

They, especially Malachi, make Keith sound like Canibus in his prime. That's one album that REALLY was a case of the beats carrying the artists. Y'all niggas stay making excuses for it because of your bias towards it. No, their hardcore tone doesn't exempt them from being placed in the same category you're putting E Dub in.



Since 1976

>especially Malachi

this is so cliche at this point.
malachi has got mad lines.
he had the best verse on livin proof (the song)

"when i take flight... (like who kid) like mike"
that verse was the best on the whole track.

the reason niggas shit on him for the last goddamn time is because he used an outdated rhyme scheme when he came out.
he was rapping with 1980-esque single syllabel schemes when people weren't doing it like that anymore in 1994.

he wasn't wack. he just used a simple, out-dated style for the times.
he had a good voice and could keep beat well enough.
somebody like lil b is 0/3 and you always hear malachis name brought up for "wackest rapper" convos.

Even back in the day I felt that dude was a waste of time. My opinion remains the same from day one. If dude was from any other region of the U.S., y'all niggas defending him would call him garbage. If he wasn't over those classic beats, y'all wouldn't have given him the time of day. Y'all cats let nostalgia cloud your judgment, IMO.




Since 1976

I don't know if anyone has ever rapped worse than Malachi

I'm from the lost black tribe of Israel, the Yos

http://coolehmag.com/frontEnd/

I've seen cats on here make all kinds of excuses for Malachi all because of their love for GH's debut album. The same cats would call any rapper from another region that was on Malachi's level wack with no problem.

...every lyric he's ever recited. That's gonna take too much time.



Since 1976

on the combat jack show primo explained that malachi caught a case and the judge ordered him to make music
malachi didn't even want to rap

LOL @ "yo I rock on the block with the real hip hop
as you start to clock...and jock"

...like some of these niggas on here; and that's his man.



Since 1976

That kills the entire argument for Malachi's case.

Come to grips with the fact that most OKP's are of the Nut Hugger lineage, so, if you' re not part of the little cliques that exist 'round here, your posts will probably tank like Souljaboy's album sales.

His random shout outs/name drops have always made me laugh for some reason.

He wasn't the tightest rapper by that point, but I still like that album a lot.

.....i STILL listen to Tell Em every few months......

Erick was never a "serious" MC, he had fun, and we loved him for it...Double Or Nothing is dope....

"yes, sometimes my rhymes are sexist, but you lovely bitches and hos should know i'm tryin to correct it"- hiphopopotamus

...that Erick's "Double Or Nothing" wasn't a total waste of beats cause even though the album was better than his first album "No Pressure", he was spitting some worthwhile lyrics on it and it was dope music to listen to at the time and it was also better than any of PMD's solo albums (he had good beats and guest features but PMD isn't as entertaining lyrically solo as Erick Sermon was).

Somebody told me this album is what inspired Questlove/soulquarians sound. Any of you Roots Stan's heard this?

the way this album sounds is totally different from anything at the time, it had this clean but gritty texture to it that just felt good

And I actually enjoy listening to Erick Sermon rap on most of his other releases.

Everybody who was in the studio with him when he laid down the "my style is butter like worth" line needs to catch a busdriver uppercut.

And its smart because it got a whole bunch of other rappers. So we dont get a whole bunch of awful E Double lines.

I know Rockwilder went full producer mode but Passion, Tommy Gunn, The Wixtons, LOD, Duo and Domo went MIA. Did they do any appearances elsewhere?

...one of the kats from The Wixtons still hangs-out & travels with Erick Sermon (I know this cause I met him & Erick back in 2004), also I think some of the members of L.O.D. still hang with Keith Murray but as far as the other artists, I'm not sure, they probably got day jobs now.

I'm not sure why 'Insomnia' has the overly-edited radio version.

"Funkorama" is mostly uncensored, except for two instances of "Def Squad's in the house for ______." I don't know what he says, but it's censored on all versions of the song. My theory was that he shouted out the year (ninety four?), but they edited it out because it was released later. I really have no idea.

He says the original year and because it was released later they left if mute. I like the edit sounds on "It's That Hit" so it's cool with me. I'm not a big cussing person so if you can edit cleverly I'm all for it.

it's not Slum Village, Quasimoto, Guilty Simpson, or anyone those of you who love what has been termed "contemporary street rap" can't wait to list in the post either.

while N.O.R.E. came to mind, I generally think the beats that made him famous are a SPECIAL kind of carcinogenic wackness, so it's an eye for an eye. his rapping in that time compared to anything he did with Capone nearby was inarguably WACK though. hit or not, that was a good dagger in the side of major label-backed hip-hop.

the answer is Lil Wayne on The Carter IV.

whether those beats are "great" are a matter of taste, but I did notice that there was a distinct disconnect between the "host" and the beats in a way I hadn't heard since Jay's Kingdom Come (before BP3 came along, it was his greatest "cigar" of an album) to the point I began to question if Wayne was getting an inverse "Nas" pass when I read reviews of this album.


Double or Nothing is what you'd call an above average if not outstanding period piece. in productions, vibe, and general construction of the songs. the problem many listeners have with Erick as a solo artist is the balance Parrish Smith provided inside EPMD. IMO, neither of them sounded right without the other for extended sessions, which is why both the breakup and the reunion was a big deal.

Yes, I'm mad. Let's move on.

everybody who did a guest spot went IN...i missed parrish and E together at the time, but E still had better folks to bounce off of than parrish did, and E still had that personality and beat selection

...i STILL don't think kingdom Come was that bad, just not good, but after the first Blueprint of jay's, he just put out some great singles surrounded by lackluster filler and called it an album...

carter 4 is pretty bad tho...it's hilarious it sold as much as it did, cause i didn't hear anyone pumping the album, online or off...
