what does "ignorant lyrical box cutter shit" mean, serious q
― budo jeru, Tuesday, 23 January 2024 01:24 (eight months ago) link
was an thing old ny street rappers would mention, sneaking a box cutter into a club as a weapon

Kind of became shorthand for a certain type of raw East Coast street rap
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 23 January 2024 01:27 (eight months ago) link
ah okay, thanks for the context. and ignorant in this case means "dumb" like "stupid good" ? haha sorry to be a square
― budo jeru, Tuesday, 23 January 2024 01:30 (eight months ago) link
Smoothee seemingly went on to become a ghostwriter, worked on the mythical Detox album.
― Beyond Goo and Evol (President Keyes), Tuesday, 23 January 2024 12:57 (eight months ago) link
oh wow! i didn't know that, good for him
ignorant in this case means "dumb" like "stupid good" ? haha sorry to be a square
oh haha no worries, i guess in this context it means like uh not exactly interested in uplifting or educating the listener, just thugged out violence threat/outrageous type stuff, ill lyrical content for its own sake guess?

He also claims he wrote Foxy Brown's verse on Jay Z's "Ain't No..."
― Beyond Goo and Evol (President Keyes), Tuesday, 23 January 2024 15:13 (eight months ago) link
interesting, honestly it wouldn't surprise me, he was so skilled and also seems like ghostwriting is so much more prevalent than i always thought

wasnt the record out of print or something? im too randomly old to say for sure but i do remember trying to buy the cd and not finding a copy

ums otm- i was very into that stuff at the same time as mobb deep, cnn... the nyc thug rap phenomenon, y'know? have we already forgotten about that stuff? dang.
i always wondered what became of smoothe da hustler. dmx came along shortly after and that was that, far as that stuff went. makes sense he would move to a behind the scenes role.

Just threw on an old compilation Quannum Spectrum from 1999 and it's top to bottom amazing. The beat that rolls into the opener with J5 is incredible and I forgot how great a track Storm Warning was.

lotsa good ones in here since my last visit. love that SoM! although imo sadat x should be talib kweli status by now. the dude has displayed too many instances of ignorance to be given a pass any longer.

ums thank you for the post re:bo$$. didn't realize she was og from detroit! found this in the tmz news piece about her-
DJ Premier also weighed in, praising Bo$$ as a talented legend, and made a public plea for Def Jam to release a collab he'd recorded with her in 1993.
i'd like to join our friend mr. martin in his plea to def jam. unreleased 93 premier beats, are you kidding!!??

Has anyone done this for Immobilarity?
― President Keyes, Wednesday, 3 April 2024 00:51 (five months ago) link
yeah, these will always be worthwhile imo.
i used to do whole sets on blend tapes like that ― i had an outkast ep produced by havoc, pharcyde produced by dj premier, yvette michele singing over "waterfalls", etc. etc. ofc back then, it was limited to whatever accapellas would show up on singles. i have firm opinions re:the validity of tge fan/dj made blend/remix.

i know next to nothing about mr. bigg. he was from alabama, had a diamond in his eye. "trial time" was a surprise minor sensation of two decades ago now. he sold "poppin my collar" to dj paul. dead almost nine years. i can't say much more. i never heard much apart from "trial time." "traffic king" sounds familiar. i never heard "time served," the celebratory conclusion to "trial time," until earlier tonight. a good use of his voice.
