Death is Certain - Royce Da 5'9
The Balancing Act - Sadistik (From your writing style, I would actually start here )
Rhyme Asylum - State of Lunacy

[Master Chief]

Death Is Certain is an understream album considering it debuted 100 something in the Billboard 200 but thank you, Satire.

[ILLMATIC1992]

Oh and get A Piece Of Strange by CunninLynguists, I just got that album yesterday and it's incredible.

You buy it? Was looking for this album ages ago but only found it on Amazon for like £150

I could say the same about A Piece of Strange

Not really.

[classthe_king]

Yes really.

[ThomasJ]

[classthe_king]

Wow, you're not backing up your opinion; shocker.

They have slow beats, slow and simple flows, boring and unenergetic deliveries, average lyrics. Boring as fuck.


Immortal Technique had the best verse on the whole album.

[ThomasJ]

Wow, you're not backing up your opinion; shocker.

Wow, you're a retard; shocker.

They have slow beats

How is this a bad thing?

slow and simple flows

You don't need to have a fast flow to be interesting.
Their "simple" flows are still better than flows of what ever rapper you listen to. Simple does not = bad.

boring and unenergetic deliveries

What did you expect, shouting?
That's completely subjective. Not every track sounds the same & that's enough for some of us.

average lyrics.

Yeah, 'cause they went over your head.

Immortal Technique had the best verse on the whole album.

I'm not gonna say that was a bad verse, but it was one of the worst on the album.
Tonedeff's verses on The Gates are one of the best of the last ten years, deal with it.

How is this a bad thing?

I didn't say it was a bad thing. I said that it made the album boring. This is all about opinions right?

You don't need to have a fast flow to be interesting.
Their "simple" flows are still better than flows of what ever rapper you listen to. Simple does not = bad.

Why do you keep bringing up the word bad? This is obviously an argument over the word boring. Just because you don't think they are boring doesn't mean other people don't. Just like some people don't think that IT is boring while you do.

What did you expect, shouting?

No, but I did expect it to be entertaining

That's completely subjective. Not every track sounds the same & that's enough for some of us.

I never said it wasn't subjective. You're the one who isn't taking into account that things are subjective.

Yeah, 'cause they went over your head.

Lyrics don't go over my head

I'm not gonna say that was a bad verse, but it was one of the worst on the album.
Tonedeff's verses on The Gates are one of the best of the last ten years, deal with it.

lolololololololololol @ you telling me something and then acting like it's fact. Have you listened to every verse released in the past 10 years? That's what I thought.
