I've Seen "Breathe" By Faboulous receive high praise here, and in other places.

A lot of people claim it's his best song, but that isn't saying much.

The Beat is above average

The hook is kinda clever although not really catchy

And Fab is pretty much his same monotone, uninteresting self.

For some reason, that song just wasn't as catchy to me as it was to everybody else. I got nothing against it at all, it was perfectly fine, but when people around me would lose their minds about it, I was never quite with it.

I always thought this was a boring basic sounding song...

I mean I didn't hate it but was really indifferent to it.

Another, while not a song, would be Illmatic. Dope album, but not the magnum opus of Hip-Hop as a whole IMHO.

which is why you never really hear it anymore at most younger hot spots, although you hear "Get low" which was primin at the exact same time. I thought it was a great cruisin round the block record.

For me... The PE "shut em down " remix wasn't this major improvement on the original that heads made it out to be. I just thought the shit was ok.

I always thought it was one of Pete's less impressive reworks during his heyday.

Far as PE/ Pete Rock collabos go....the "Nighttrain" remix was the far superior but less celebrated track.

Exactly, loved the Nighttrain remix (The original was great in it's self and then Pete Rock somehow made it even better) but never understood what was so great about the Shut Em Down remix. I guess some ppl don't enjoy that album from PE but love that era from Pete Rock? I don't hate it but doesn't blow me away by any means

the pete rock remix smooths it out and makes it less aggressive in my opinion

Dope, but LMFAO @ people who are almost mad at Puffy n say "the Pete Rock version is waaaaaay better, that shoulda been the single!" It wouldn't have even been as big as Puba "I like it"

It's funny if the next big commercial producer stole a beat from the top underground producer today it'd be the biggest beef ever, instead Pete Rock did the remix

i understand the appreciation for the content, but to me the weakness of his rhymes overshadow any impact of what he was actually saying

.

I agree that I never really got the hype about KRS. His voice is grating to me, his pompous holier-than-thou attitude about hip-hop is off-putting, and I just never really felt his music. His flow is also just all over the place I feel like, at times. I grew up in the 90s so perhaps it's just due to the fact that I wasn't "there" for KRS' golden years, but I never put too much stock in that because I can still get into Rakim, Slick Rick, Run DMC, NWA and a lot of (most, actually) other hip-hop from the 80s. So I really don't think it's that.

But like I said, I'm not sure I agree that he had "weak rhymes". I just never personally could get into him for the reasons above.

everything you said about him is what i bundled into "weak rhymes"

never really got that hype off Nas verse like some heads


always preferred GZA's verse on Guillotine

Man, same here. "Verbal Intercourse" was cool but it just didn't hit me like it hit everyone else.

And co-sign on that GZA verse. I'd also throw Deck's verse on "Guillotines" out there too.

That beat is boring the rhymes are stale the video was wack. I just really disliked that song

<--- ...watch out Mountain West?

like, it didn't sound like the type of beat everyone would take and rap over.

dead prez "Hip Hop". never really thought too highly of it. actually, i feel the shit is kinda wack and it drives me up the fucking wall how it's an 'anthem' to so many people.

i get it, you're conscience. i respect that, but cmon son. really? maybe i'm just not into the whole southern bounce feel to it and the double time raps. nukkas used to get so hype to that shit and i'm standing there all sorts of confused.

i guess it's one of those cuts where the message overshadows the music, cuz the music itself is <waves hand> *meh*, if that.

Lebron couldn't win a chip without two superstars from his draft class. He didn't just need help. The nigga needed the cheat code to enable god mode.(c)Kira

I like the song, but it isn't classic to me at all.
