Naw bruh... Dilla brought some mundane shyt into the mix with that BRL album, and it continued with the Love Movement. I mean, they rapped on it so it ain't all his fault, but yeah... their most boring and bland music definitely came out post-Dilla. Not that he didn't do some winners too- I actually think "1nce Again" shoulda been much more of a hit than it was. But when I heard them albums...
Somethin' wasn't right... and Tip had just come off producing some of his best stuff like the joints he did on the Mobb album, so I can't say it was all on him.
As for Common... he's definitely done better work with both Kanye AND No I.D. than he did with Dilla.
Dilla had beats, but let's not act like homie's Tribe shyt was A-game work.
Get a hold is still as good or better singularly as any tribe record ever made.
Plus it is tip's best solo submissions nd eclispses Mr icognito, as a strictly solo tip moment.
The problem that hurt tribe was tip and ghostwriting but no one will say it.
Tip started faking jax, that it held true to tip.
ushering in the visual degrading era of black women.
Disguised as artistic tna and he was faking jax at any and every turn, in the sales spike era.
nikkaz blaming dilla like consequence was ever nice and then act and absolve tip from employing cons.
When it was glaringly obvious.
Why nikkaz won't diss tip and damn near all of native tongues except pos, Dave, maseo is beyond me.
Part of the reason the culture was so weak is.
The main nikka supposed to be protecting it was faking jax.
To the point, tip selling out.
Gave license to all his stans on some toy shyt that sprung up in 1993, when tribe went mainstream and nikkaz front like tribe never was on sellout shyt but they were.
Mm is the gateway sellout native tongues album.
That on some sneak shyt, the toys and fans grasped on to as some seal of fake approval but I was never fooled.
Especially when the drawing envelope for let, was so long.
That I know those new fans did not even have scenario or even a remix existed.
Then, deflected onto and erroneously,...
Blaming dilla who really actually kept it real and had to pick up slack because of the disaster to tip's collection of records.
The same type of loss that plagued why the Wu did not continue drawing in the manner they were at that point as well.
Except at least the Wu kept it way more cultural and real than tip did.
nikkaz be giving tip all types of passes and now he blatantly does shyt that would never be accepted from him.
[like okay we know busta will go anywhere regardless of admin. Yet this is tip, tho. So, it makes no sense and we can't give passes. When, this shyt is obvious]
If, tip was judged accurately and nikkaz did not have a sellout pass constructed for that nikka.
Tip was a scourge, breh.
