I don’t think he understands what an interpolation is.Organized Noize said they realized that they were doing the exact same thing Dre was doing yet they’re considered alternative rap and Dre isn’t

that video was from their last gold album. Which is consistent with their career average. It definitely came later on but we cant act like it was over for them,when they have 1 plat plaque and 3 gold ones and this is one of the gold ones.

EPMD went gold on four straight albumsAgain, there are levels to this rap shyt. So when you say EPMD were mainstream, that doesn't nearly compare to how mainstream Outkast was.
But here we are on a deflection convoI'm good, breh. It's been real.
Havoc can hold his own with his own style but lets be fair if this turns into a havoc vs prodigy thread. Prodigy
Dudes are too young to know that going gold was platinum in the 80's early 90sEPMD went gold on four straight albums

outkast albums make me want to sip tea.
I don't have tracklists for their 1st 2 albums. but I can play those jawns in between pm dawn & arrested development cds and the mood wont change. and a lot of the same people that bought those albums, were buying outkast, whether people want to acknowledge it or not.
they were also given placements as a top alternative rap act once those groups(and digable planets & them) were phased out and they were getting the token alternative nominations as well.
then they got bumped to a distant #2 when the fugees blew up, and stayed there for years until the refugee camp imploded.the laface stench is all over those 1st 2 albums, and it doesn't help that they came outta nowhere signed to laface and got a ton of hype. theres a lot of stuff that didn't sit well with a lot of people
and the back-end of atliens incent music. and then theres tracks like "jazze belle"(which I liked) that had the laface stench in overdrive.
ehh, aquemini was moreso electro-funk, rather than r&b-sounding. its more like a not-so-poppy prelude to stankonia.
and I know youre not arguing about their last 3 albums, but for the people that are - those albums weren't even really marketed to the hip-hop community like that. nuff said.
Nah you got sensitive when you did this
You went on a keyboard tantrum
no.
I simply hit the cut-n-paste function because you kept tip-toeing off the topic & deflecting.
any other bullchit you plan on pulling out of your ass?
youre proving his point actually.
epmd, redman & 90% of wutang's stuff wasn't really mainstream.
DMX is DMX.
bone was hardcore but they weren't in that rugged sounding category like those other names.
onyx had the classic singles on their 1st album, but they didn't even attempt to follow-up on that formula for their second album, and they havnt been in the mainstream since. not musically at least.
similar situation with das efx. and a grip of other names are coming to mind from that era. lords of the underground anybody?
funny how the majority of my post was actually on topic, while none of yours is.
gee, I wonder why.lol @ the bolded. who the f*ck are YOU?? u gassed because you posted some goofy class photo, thinking its gonna get you somewhere with anybody that maters.
and you talk like youre the feds or some chit. the f*ck I look like posting names & pictures on a message board?? we don't move like that out here b.and whats funny is that most of the more practical stuff youre demanding to know is stuff that's already on-record on here in the local threads that apply. I don't owe you any explanations or none of that chit tho. but feel free to search it out. it aint hard to find. lol. don't even get me started on the people I know personally on this board.
and youre right. we wouldn't be cordial in real life. youre a joke. look at you still clinging onto this "I was 19 and was listening to rap before you" argument.
at some point, you just gotta realize that youre somewhat of an outsider, who gets lost whenever a discussion gets too cultural - like this one. but instead, you want to be that guest who kicks his feet up on the furniture.
I now see why so many of the black posters don't like you. I thought you were just a cool white bul with a misunderstood passion for hip-hop, but I now see that youre one of those vultures who likes to come in and start dictating stuff that you don't fully understand.
if you don't know, then why are you poking out your chest, tryna argue about it??? then you try to tell people whats what in markets that you have absolutely no access to.
all you had to do was ask respectfully, instead of showing your ass.
ive seen de la soul grouped into the alternative category as well. and the native tongue are clearly a strong influence on outkast,
altho they were also alot stronger on the traditional hip-hop tip than outkast.
it was already over for them breh.
they had a loyal built-in consumer base by that point that pushed it to gold.
but it was already over.

Huh?

Das Efx literally shot a video in a sewer :prodigylol:
And the album went platinum
I doubt I would even know how to pronounce that word, if it weren’t for Guru and Preem :prodigylol:

take "Decatur psalms" out of the equation.
1st 3 had that laface stench.
bottom 3 feels like I'm listening to badu-izm or something.
