I _JUST_ bought this and am putting it on play now.
Discuss with me as you and I listen, eh?

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Saturday, 17 July 2004 19:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Alright, well after two listens, I gotta say that it's very very nice, but not quite as good as "Tryin' ta Live".
Immediate standouts are Too Cute, Go Fight Some Other Crime, Motha, She Was Gone and the title track.
I really don't think I'm going to stop listening to this anytime soon.

have you heard the "Ain't 2 Loud 4 U" ep?

― sherm, Sunday, 18 July 2004 17:59 (twenty-one years ago)

No, any way I could cop a copy?

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Monday, 19 July 2004 05:14 (twenty-one years ago)

wow i didn't know this was out yet...man i gotta hit a store!

Forks, any other reactions after you've listened to it? The first two Devin albums are amazing....

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 18:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah Matt, it continues to sparkle. I'm leaning toward best effort to date.
Posting a standout track at the Hut on Friday.

three weeks pass...

Jesus, so NOBODY bought this?
I defy you to name a better hip hop album released this year.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 05:38 (twenty-one years ago)

i listened to it today and really wanna buy it. "what?" is great. It's like what Prince Paul should be producing but isn't.

― Symplistic (shmuel), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 05:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I still say Madvillain but regardless this is incredibly great yeah.

― djdee2005, Wednesday, 18 August 2004 05:50 (twenty-one years ago)

My argument would be that Madvillain's already got his props. This should be FLYING off shelves. Why isn't it? Am I insane?

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 06:06 (twenty-one years ago)

well, for one thing, the title sucks

― Symplistic (shmuel), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 06:08 (twenty-one years ago)

no argument. one wonders what the hell he was thinking.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 06:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Steve "flash" Juon's theory: While he's certainly not underexposed thanks to his cameo appearances on everything from Dr. Dre to De La Soul, he's not exactly overexposed either. Rap-A-Lot Records makes sure his albums are distributed in stores nationally and worldwide, but his largest fanbase continues to be in the Southern U.S., particularly in and around his native Houston, Texas. Whether he gets recognized for it or not though, albums like his self-titled debut and "Just Tryin' Ta Live" are not just among the best kept secrets of the South but of hip-hop as a whole

My theory is that funny rap generally doesn't sell too well and is difficult to market, since the backpackers care more about "innovation" than humor, and gangsta fans don't buy the Dude's hippie shit. But I like the funny.

― Symplistic (shmuel), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 06:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Judging from most kid-targeted food packaging, I'd say that he should try selling his CD in a supermarket where children can guilt parents into impulse-buying it. mmm, X-Treme jello.

― djdee2005, Wednesday, 18 August 2004 06:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Also, "Doobie Ashtray" = all-time classic.

― djdee2005, Wednesday, 18 August 2004 06:23 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, it's one of those songs that's as much fun to sing as to listen to

― Symplistic (shmuel), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 06:26 (twenty-one years ago)

The new album is less funny than just brilliant.
But I hear you. I just hurt for the children.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 06:53 (twenty-one years ago)

one month passes...

Haven't heard it and now I want to, but I'll name a hip-hop album that might be just as good: Chingo Bling, The Tamale Kingpin. Heard this yet, Mr. Tofu?

― Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 19:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I have not and will be checking my inbox for proof of said awesomeness.
What's dude's deal?
And Begs, you should slip by my site and get the two funk tracks I have up. They're crackaslackalackin.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 20:16 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah I will also try to pop some chingo into your inbox.

oh that did not sound good.

― Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 20:25 (twenty-one years ago)

No homo, dude.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 20:26 (twenty-one years ago)

three weeks pass...

Where's my Chingo, dude?

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 09:26 (twenty-one years ago)

II Tha X-Treme is the hip-hop equivalent
of Prick Decay "Cuba, Planet Cuba."
Only 2 albums that induce stone-cold sober
hallucinations. Try 'em together at once.

― d. mitha (ykeo), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 19:28 (twenty-one years ago)

sorry forks, I'll try to send it tonight. (my work computer doesn't do gmail, dammit!)

he was so funny and great

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 30 September 2005 18:28 (twenty years ago)

and quite coincidentally, just posted about this record on the noise board

― 100% Nice (nordicskilla), Friday, 30 September 2005 18:28 (twenty years ago)

in conversation, an ilxor once argued that i was "too obsessed" with devin. i reject that argument now as i did then.
