Came up on my MP3 player, so it got me revisiting their tracks
Self-Titled Album
Fudge Pudge ft. OC - lol @ Monche's hair
Releasing Hypnotical Gases - some super scientifical shit...but from 1991. Canibus wishes he could flow like O.K. Oh, and that's where DJ Shadow got that vocal sample from...
Who Stole My Last Piece Of Chicken - one of my favorite song titles ever. Remixed, too. I might feel kinda weird as a black man bumping this song, but fuck it. CHICKEN IS GOOD
Stress: The Extinction Agenda
well shit, here's the entirety of their classic second album, Stress: The Extinction Agenda - timestamp links inside the description. Listened to it all today...and I think it still holds up very well, 18 years later. Some notes:
-Stray Bullet was I Gave You Power before I Gave You Power existed
-Maintain is still one of my go to "trying to get through some bullshit in my life" songs
-dat flow on Extinction Agenda
-Thirteen: "I'm no slave to the rhythm/I rip it/then I take its name and change it's religion/then I chop the foot off the fucking beat/for trying to escape the track now it's obsolete..."
-Bring It On has one of the most hilariously homoerotic lines in hip-hop history: "Better believe I buttfuck MC's from the rear". I like how he made sure to clarify it's from the rear. The song overall is still dope though (a Neo Geo reference!)
-Let's Organize also features another hilariously homoerotic line: "Better back off, I jack off of wack MC's in the vicinity". Really Pharoahe? You really showed those wack MC's who's in charge!
-a lot of production on this album definitely excels at that mid 90's NYC jazzy style.
-damn they do some multisyllabic shit really well
Equinox
-didn't like this album as much, but still some good tracks.
-Invetro. Similar to Fetus(Belly Button Window). Nas, I'm sensing a pattern here...
-Hate. Ever wanted to hear what it would sound like if white supremacists were actually dope MC's? There ya go!
-Somehow Someway: Best beat on the album. Too chill.
