With the addition of Dialated, R.E, and Pharohe (coming) as Offical Okayartists we have to take vote on the next one.

The next one doesnt have to be anytime soon but the important thing is who?

My votes would go to BAHAMADIA or ERYKAH BADU or both. Honorable mentions to LUCY PEARL, SAUKRATES, LES NUBIANS, BILAL, and PLANET A.S.I.A.

I learned the contours of her body much like a familiar street corner....
So nevermind........
Entering the local bodega frequently, often forgetting why I was "coming"....
The door loosened..ajar with wind-blown emotions that never seem to stay long enough...
I remain devoted to exiting sites fo carelessly cramped shelves...
Becoming a consumer unlike myself rooted in wastefulness....
My love for her in high-priced pools of lust would reflect...
My new intent is bargain hunting for intellect.....

"Webster's don't know jack" me
"CARROTS" me
"The system is screwed" me

My top three OkayPlayers to be:

Slum Village (why aren't they down already)
Lucy Pearl (so very smooth)
X-ecutioners? (some OkayDJ's would be real nice)

"Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over, and expecting diffrent results"-Albert Einstien

4 heads nod.

3 of 4 heads hide under deak screaming "Eff this, I ain't building shit else!!! Who is going to chase him around? Can't we have a life, too?!!!!"

These damn okay symbols!!!

Actually, I don't think Improv has ever even been to the okay office.We act like we're not here whenever he shows up.

No one likes moderators. (Really, though...he's never been here. He volunteers his time from home and I think he steals time from his job to do this)

But seriously, unless you see a post from me or Shawn Gee, consider it not true...and I don't know nothing abut Pharoah joining okayplayer.

I believe Improv was just playing around.

Word up!

Dead Prez is one I left off but should definitely, no questions asked, be included on this site.

And Iverson represents something lovely. Yall should at least send him a tee-shirt. On some Philly love type ish. Tell me you wouldn't love to see him rocking that in the post-game press conf after he just served somebody up for 50!

Oh, did I mention Bilal yet? Well, if I didn't, then BILAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But that's just my opinion. Not like I want to force it on anybody.

No, it just clogs up the boards AND it's been posted several times already. Seeing the same topic pop up every single week in various threads IS against the guidelines.

Give the moderators a break. If you would read AND FOLLOW the guidelines, Steve wouldn't even have to say this.

I don't understand why Mos Def is not already an Okayartist. This man is an intricate and integral part of everything that yall are trying to do. I mean my man spoke at the United Nations! I think it is essential that he be involved in something as innovative and revolutionary as Okayplayer. Slum V? I thought "The Roots and SV is the Family Tree/SV and the Roots be the Family Tree" So you tell me where they're at. I would love to see Kast as an okayartist. Yes they are that ill. But at least the more okay-friendly side of the group Andre should be included.

Very glad to see Reflection Eternal on the site now. Kweli could use the exposure to the brilliance he brings.

And I'm not the one for negativity but I feel I have to say that I don't feel the Nastees live up to the Okay creative standard. And although I think Pharaohe certainly makes hot records these days he doesn't quite belong here either. Just personal opinion. Open to attack.

Peace, One,
blue.

What you mean "okayplayer friendly"? I wanna know what makes an artist okayplayer material. Anyways, don't be doing that mess anymore man Dre is personally my favorite MC , but I got love for Big Boi to man.

Probably cause he doesnt wanna be...

I mean Im sure brother ?uest pitched the question to him, in fact, i remember a mention of it in the D'Tour diary... so if he's not a member its cause he does not want to be a member. (I assume that being an okayartist is not free)

Yeah, I'd definitely put the SV family in okayplayer. Their album's coming out tomorrow.

Word the first album was tight..the second one..well. I dunno. Hey I can do one helluva skit if they ask me too But right now just give it up for Badu (does she got somethin goin on with common?)

I dont know if anyone has ever heard of the underground band, Utopia State, but they are really good, so that's my vote.

My votes? Yes?
-Mos Def-initely
-"SV and the Roots is the family tree"
-Dead Prez - Come on, they bigger than hiphop you want fire for the Okayactivist section? There you go.
-J5 - Heard the record? Nuff said. Chali 2na's my man. Cut Chemist? What can't that man do?
-Erykah - but of course
-"Kast keep it jumpin' like kangaroos"


My votes? No?
-Maxwell - seen it suggested and feel like he'd fit in better on silkysoftyplayer.com
-Company Flow - We can't have that garbage polluting up a site as beautiful as this. I didn't see anyone suggest Kool Keith or Eminem either. So let's be thankful for that.


My votes? Maybe?
-Lucy Pearl - We'll see.

I mean without a doubt. The next Okayartist's need to be EsVee (Slum Village). You got D'Angelo, Common and ?uestlove givin these cats major props. Regardless of what alot of y'all think of EsVee, they are innovators, they are bring a new type of hiphop to the culture, just fun type rap shit. No hard to understand lyrical poems, just everyday shit. They get all 33 of my votes (cause I'm '33').

one.
33

Detroit in this...

aight, all those choices (well, most of them) r good and all, but i didn't hear no one talk about artist who already down w/ Okayplayer doing their thing on the regular. they should get sections first. i'm talkin about Kindred, Flo Brown, 3 7000 9, Jaguar & Jill Scott. people who already down w/ the crew and representing on a regular basis. if they don't get their own sections u could at least make black lily part of okayplayer.com i know they have their own website and all, but why not incorporate it into this site. i go 2 the black lily all the time at the wetlands in nyc and they constantly putting it down 4 the nyc crowd regularly. so they should get spots b4 anyone. after that, i wanna vote 4 Mos Def and Erykah Badu cuz they seem 2 b 'honorary' members already. that's about it really. i also don't think that okayplayer should get 2 cluttered. everybody can't b an okayplayer artist. that's one of the things i like about it now. i think if u included everyone it would lose some of the closeness that it has. i do however think u should include some people in the featured artists section. people like Slum Village, Dead Prez, N'Dambi, Maysa, Ledisi, Laurnea, etc. some people that r hot and along the same lines of what OKP's would b feeling. just don't ruin okayplayer.com by making everyone and they mamma an OkayArtist. just my thoughts.

my bad, i forgot Bahamadia.

~jrocc

what about Philly's own Mountain Brothers? Erykah would be nice but I can see the MB's up in there too.

Such examples CRU , Powerule , Tribe Members solo carreers , De La Soul , Gangstarr....

all the groups are either positive or fun rap or good lyrics...

J5 baby...they hold it down live like yours truely on this site

blackalicious, no doubt!!!! they're true to good music. they'd fit in perfectly.

"tahitian fresh berry treat...she's a capricorn" -GhostFaceKillah

" E El Isum Shil El Eloh El Rahmun, Alazi Izu El Rahummul!"

I really would like to see Erykah Badu featured as a new artist. I mean, the Kedar site (www.kedar.com) has not been updated since 1998 - Damn! Her new site www.erykahbadu.net is great with flash... but I think the same thing will happen.


"One day all dem bags gone git in yo' way" ~Erykah Badu

be.fearless.choose.love

Yo, I think it should be Esthero. O' girl is from Canada and she is tight. She did a remix one time with Goodie Mob.


broke_senseless(?)

No Doubt that MosDef should be the next okayartist. I'm not Mos but a very big fan hence my username. But Mos is really holding it down for the underground and gets a big thumb up for that gold plaque on his wall. People, Vote 4 Mos. Thank You.

**** DISCLAIMER!!! -----> I'm an asshole. Please take the following personal ****


do dat!
