I finally saw teh video after playing the incredible song over and over


I know it's like from back in 1995

but it's fuckin hilarious

how they make fun of other rap video cliches

the beat down scene, the time square scene, teh pit bull scene


it's fuckin hilarious

I'm so glad I finally got to see it

now I know why I love the Roots

and this reminds me that I gotta buy Illedelph Halflife (if I can find a copy it's kinda old) in addition to Phrenology

that's prolly one of the best rap videos of all time. And how the hell can you talk about the roots 24/7 and not have a copy of illadelph halflife? That shit was like the Cal Ripken of my cd collection from 97-2000.

im listening to Illadelph Halflife right now. i have been listening to it for a while, so its on trakc 12 right now: Universe At War.

my cousin bought me this cd a while back, so im not sure how hard it is to find. but i do know that you can find a good amount of underground hip-hop at http://www.sandboxautomatic.com/. another cousin told me about that one a while back, although i have never bought anything from them, i know they have a shitload of stuff.

is their service good? my cousin has been lost for some time now, and i see him only once every 4 months, so i always forget to ask him about it.

pretty much, It's been a while since I bought thru them but they haven't stolen my credit card number yet and the shit usually comes in like a week or so. But their selection is phenomenal.

i got into em through the come alive album, and they the best group that ive found in a while. my fave is things fall apart, but i havent got phrenology cos its new and i wanna wait till the price comes down. saying that, i did buy illadeph.. for £16 which is the most ive ever spent on a cd. illadelph half life is nowhere near as good as DYWM or fall apart. in my opinion.
