S1 kept at it.

He was producing with Kanye a few years back.

I haven't checked in a while.

Dude has a lot of placements man.

the production on the first 2 SFP albums is more diverse than 9th's work on the first 2 LB albums; obviously, Phonte was the best mc but I also had Big Pooh on the bottom

Sigh

Y’all gotta stop disrespecting Pooh man. Sleepers was a good album

I could never get into SFP, their music was corny to me.

Agree.

Sounded like they studied Slum Village and tried their own version to pitch at Sprite for an ‘Obey your thirst’ campaign.

Excpet Sprite rejected the shyt because it wasn’t all the way ‘plant’ sounding.

Yea I agree, their shyt didn't sound natural at all, sounded like they were trying to emulate a sound/feeling that other groups did

They reminded me more of Little Brother but more religious…

“all the way” is probably the only song I can think of that’s heavy on the SV influence

That's fair.

That's also the song that reminds me of them.

I shouldn't hate, their first shyt was cool.

Their actual first legit release strayed too far from where they started though.

You guys better stop with the strange fruit project slander.

 

[Dont@Me]

You should check Pooh out on their newest album. Some of the best verses on the album are Pooh's. He's a really really dope emcee now.

I didn't even know they put an album out two years ago

I never knew this I admit, I wasn't feeling their third album and kinds check on them after that, so I didn't know the full extent of S1's credits

The jazzy influence sound was reminiscent of Slum Village but that's where it ended IMO

 

[Tetris v2.0]

I want a new Median album

 

[DaHNIC82]

At this point they dont need 9th
