Dead Serious is an undeniable classic but why was it censored!

Remember Ice-T's group 'Body Count'? They released a song titled 'Cop Killer' that got Tipper Gore's PMRC's (Parents Music Resource Center) panties up in a bunch so a lot of records sold at retail outlets in '92 were censored to avoid the added cost of affixing the Parental Advisory warning on album covers and allow wider distribution.

:leon: i never knew that was the reason, but i remember getting a few albums from around that time. sometimes they had stickers but some stuff was still censored anyway, i'm sure Tribe had 'nikka' and some swear words blanked out here & there on LET but it was sporadic, some songs would have it & some wouldn't

The first album is probably classic, depending on who you ask. I'd say it is.

But after that, they were pretty much hit or miss. They had some crazy remixes after that, but they didn't really revisit the dopeness they had on that first joint. They kinda got a little stale after like '93. Way too short of a career.

I will be the first to properly administer goof troop 90's acts to the bushes. PHAT bushes even. But every time i hear Das Efx i lose my goddamn mind. I distinctly recall my peoples moms driving our young asses around knocking the Das record.


I also recall the exclusive Das bootleg that had mad other versions. I almost tricked a older cat out of that tape. almost only counts in horse shoes & hand grenades.















hard like a criminal was my shyt...
