Black on Both Sides is a timeless album and a must have for any music fan. Not just hip-hop.

Indeed

The beat and the vocal effects threw some people off but this was just as potent

Bill Gates don't dangle diamonds in the face
Of peasants when he Microsoftening the place
You gettin' on my nerves, well I'm gettin' on your case
Consider your surroundings or you leave without a trace



Little did he know THAT
Waiting in the clow-SAT
No matter watchu call-LAT
Plaaayboooy sholl' got dooone...

On the rise with Blackstar and dropped a dope album with Kweli

Dropped a CLASSIC solo album that actually went Gold in real time

Dropped Oh No with Monch and Nate and was the perfect marriage of mainstream and underground

Got picked up for movies and actually had a little acting career

Then...the 2nd album dropped and it was downhill from there

This man legit had next and was a complete emcee at one point

 

[Shadow King]

"Got" isn't about a celebrity cat getting robbed.

These cats really need to practice dressing down, on some Freeway Ricky Ross shyt. Dress bummy or at least don't wear the jewelry.

Yes, if I was a celebrity, I would only wear the expensive shyt on the red carpet events & award shows etc
