I just revisited this album for the first time in ages and was surprised by how much I was feeling it.
What does the Strut think?
I need to know whether I am on the right side of this crucial issue.

(p.s.: this may be very old news, faux, but I just read the other day that Jay-Z's memoirs are coming out next month, and were written with an assist from your girl and mine, the one formerly known as dream hampton. I am backhandedly curious.)
This was dope too........
:shitty:
I ride harder for this
I dont ride

You must know Milo Berger. Any asshurtedness there?
uptown is the perfect party album
Wow u know the sample - pat your self on the back.
Is your history of Hip Hop only in MTV form?
They had more than one hit during their run.
camp lo is really far from one hit wonders, the whole album is solid, i remember all the other singles getting much play too (even in europe) when it came out
I really liked thier appearance in "Gutterfly" on that Lifesavas album a few years ago. It has that same magic as old Camp Lo tracks and works perfectly on the floor.
many positive elements surrounding this pic.
whoa.
Every time they say something PAUSE worthy or outright, well, shall we say, ummm how do say this.. Bromantic, malerotic etc, take a small sip of your drank.
Garaunteed wastedness halfway through the album, well before te gay sword of zorro, creamy manhandling and "cmon, f*** that dude - f**** that dude f*** that dude"
GICHI GICHI INDEED!
I'm just saying, it's one thing to say something in a freestyle, another thing to write it in a rhymebook, and a WHOLE other thing to record it AND overdub it.
A good record nonetheless.
Yeah, I'll confess to sharing your curiosity. Not enough to buy the book, but enough that I will likely click on any excerpts poasted on Amazon.
Were the two subsequent efforts also produced by Ski? I remember being told that they had a regional hit in North Carolina about ten years ago, which makes some sense, since I believe Ski was living down there at the time.
I remember early on they were getting compared to/accused of biting Ish/Butterfly, so they went and did a cut with him, which put their differences into clearer relief. I always think shit like that (e.g. "The Originators") is a smart move, or at least illustrative.
And for the sake of broadening the palette: Something newer, and something older that may or may not get batmon's Coogi in a twist.
What, you don't souffle, suga?
I've not listened to it for a while myself, but I remember it being one of those records that had a very broad appeal, and there didn't seem to be all that many of those around at that particular time.
Luchini is, of course, deathless
LOL we had that dude out here too. Kind of ruined my Campaloa experience. I was more "what?" than "This is it!"
