    ehh.

    not to beef, but i would definitely file this under "did NOT age well".

    addendum: see Living Color, post Bad Brains 1st LP, and most "heavy" punk/funk/metal african-american lead acts of the 90's.

    Now before anyone cries (but go ahead anyways), I just think amongst a lot of the really bad music trends of the 90's, this wave of Bad Brains inspired metal/funk bands (later paving the way for such greats as Limp B, Sum 41, ad nauseum), were in hindsight, really bad. Hell, even Bad Brains I Against I (which i dont think aged that great) was still better than their attempt at "speed metal/funk & H.R. reggae stuff"



    and yeah.

    *There were some guys i think called "Freejah" that played at Cal State Northridge when I went there in '91 and the Spyz may have played too. Loved 'em then. CSUN lunchtime shows ruled...

    whoah man.

    figured i'd just post my take on a band YOU posted about on a PUBLIC message board. didnt mean to kill your reminiscing buzz.

    everything else on SS seems up for debate, but diss the SPYZ????



    plus the ultimate cut-n-paste SS comeback!

    standard highlights:

    - whats your contribution to the music world?
    - you ain't down
    - racist opinions
    - lame ass hipster

    and end on a great diss:

    - "or in other werds
    SHUT tHE FUCKUP and GO BACK TO CAL STATE IF YOU GOT NOTHING POSITIVE TO SAY BITCH-ER"

    kool. no worries. enjoy the outside world for a moment.

    Funk and rock didn't mesh that well for me in the 80's/90's...

    24-7 Spyz were the shit for a minute but I, also, am afraid that if I were to revisit it that it would not have aged well.

    I returned to this shit last night and i still liked it. Dudes were doin shit before Rage. The Hip Hop references felt much more realer than the other rock dudes tryin to borrow & mesh styles.

    Pillage - the changes on that song is crazy.

    Now I'm scared to look for their first CD (it's here somewhere). I recall being VERY into it in 1989.

    Broke my heart when so many hardcore bands (Murphys Law, Token Entry etc.) tried to get "funky" in the late 80s.
