    Isn't it sad that hip-hop records now are so cluttered with producers these days? there's no cohesiveness...

    Yeah, I thought as much.



    Yo, Mark told me you stopped by his store. How is it? I still haven't made it up there to check it out. He told me some fucking C R A Z A Y stories of cracked out and insane people running up in there and acting a fool.

    He said some dude came in and started telling everyone a joke and then bent over and spread his buttcheeks for no apparent reason.

    Glad I didn't go on that day.



    I guess you're gonna get that when you're in downtown LA. He had some raers last time I talked to him, though.

    CoSign(iwouldnt say WAAAYmore),but Low End Theory is the poeple's choice. LETheory was more "street"and minimal compared to the first joint.

    yea i did visit that store one time. he did have some raers on the wall, but to be honest the location isn't very ideal for running a record shop. i wish him the best of luck though. oh and he seemed like a good dude.

    prince among thieves...even if that was musically lacking i'd give full props on the concept alone. id be interested to know if something like that has been attempted in ANY genre, (not including operas or musicals, so don't mention Tommy or anything) the fact that it's musically dope seals the "masterpiece" deal (id love to know the background of this album, ie when the idea first started, how he chose the partipants, etc etc...i remember breezly brewin saying how practically every line was rehearsed tons of times, to get the right feel to make it seamless. and while an album like that in any other genre like rock would be hailed as a classic that u had to own, i feel this album ain't discussed enough. phucking legends about pink floyd in synch with wizard of oz and sheit, whether true or not, tons of rock fans are aware of even the possibility...but i doubt a youngster just getting into the hoppa da hip would be aware of this gem, even though its not under underground. thats something i never understood, its like rap is meant to be temporary? you dont have to research the foundations? sheit, in may ways im a latecomer and im still finding out new stuff everyday, and with the net, we got no excuse. i'l shut up now, its the alchy, but cmon, why dont people rock prince paul shirts?

    Who else did production on that record? I thought Buckwild did pretty much all of it. I only had the single die-cut sleeve LP with no credits on it from what I can remember.

    all tracks produced by Buckwild except
