I only know him from GTA 3 honestly, and the only thing that comes to mind when I think of that track is Sean P, but I'm curious, what are some of his best beats as a producer?

he left purple city after he got robbed for the chain didn't he

what happened to all them dipset b team nikkas?

wheres un kasa? sheist bubz? blackadon, tom gist, tito poppins... shyt, taj mahal??

v. cha$e and chubbie baby the only ones prospering..



WHERE IS JAY BEZEL??

dipset b team :mjlol: all them nikkkas was just cool with the set, never really apart of them. shyt some of them was even beefing with the dips.

Purple City was shiest creation, he owns the whole shyt. he just added kasa and brought in ag. the whole breakup was a mixture over bread, which kasa thought he was owed and the purple city chain tru life took from ag. shiest a hustla, he was never a rapper and had ghostwriters himself. he did the rap shyt for the bread, so he straight. he was on the smokers tour with currensy and smoke dza not too long ago.

kasa, like juelz hypeman now. he drops shyt here and there.

blackadon is jimmys man, don't ever remember hearing him rap.

taj mahal still rap, but i haven't heard shyt from him since he was goin at juelz.

tom gist :manny:




i kinda feel for ag he really had something going for him when he was with purple city. after that, he just been dropping indie albums/mixtapes damn near every few months. i always felt like he should have gotten a lil protege or hooked up with some new talent and produced for them. i like ag sound it's new yorkish but, in this day and age that shyt just appealing to the underground scene. ag never really evolved imo. like someone else said, homie should try and get in that EDM lane.



this joint right here though :whew: ag still got it though.

Take it from me - failed internet rapper extraordianare - : How you think GZA feels that ODB is more well loved? The masses don't care to listen to "art". They respond to ??? (x factor).

Think: Trump vs qualified candidates.

No matter how you feel inside. No matter how may loved ones tell you you're special.

The crowd wants what it wants. You CANNOT beg for props. Just realize that you ain't the herb they lookin for.

God bless him. Most of you guys don't understand, and that's okay. But I remember seeing a crack-ish looking young latino demon tear heads off at Rocksteady Park 20+ years ago. The legendary freestyle battle MC Breez Evaflowin' kinda caught that work from Agallah that day. I shared a laugh with Breez about it a few years back.

Agallah never seemed to recover from the Ghetto Girl thing. That wasn't him. And his pen hasn't evolved much, but the musical talent is still there. Even if you don't care much for his rapping, a lot of his beats are undeniable.
It's just sad, because this type of thing only seems to happen with hip-hop/rap. If he were gifted in any other art he would be a lot more comfortable now, or at least better appreciated. But rap is very trendy, so like @Exit 9 just said, he may very well may feel like he wasted his whole life. That's not funny at all.
Assume shyt when you don't follow other genres :mjlol:.

Rap is just like any other genre. I don't know anything about country music but Rock and its 100 sub genres is exactly the same, electronic music is 5 times worse and RnB is exactly the same. Doing your best interpretation of how something sounded will rarely earn you any props from the public. Some old heads on the coli etc yes, but rarely further than that.


If you don't have a unique sound in rock, you won't get shyt. What happens sometimes is that major labels rip off indie artists and launch it to "pop fans". While that'll yield success, it will also yield a bunch of hate from "indie rock fans". I.e. nearly all rock fans of this generation.

nikka yes they do
I check their bloglin every now and then and everytime they seem to have a rapper featured on that shyt he's always some blonde dyed dreadheaded 145 pound soaking wet 19-year old black kid wearing grateful dead tye died t-shirts, skin tight acid washed jeans, beat up vans, and a $5 dollar dad hat who raps about Yu-Gi-Oh and Sour diesel over fruity loops trap beats.

In other words, Agallah's time in hip-hop has long passed unfortunately. It's 2016. NY street rappers are out and have been out of style and will never be back in style. The hottest rapper in NY right now is a blatant Future bite. People like Ag have to realize this and try to act accordingly.

Just saying breh...

You obviously could't have any less of a smidgeon of an idea about electronic music cause many people are eating and gaining recognition and don't have to go through any of the BS rappers go through.

Goddamn it. I hate the coli sometimes, it's where people who admittedly don't know shyt about music outside of hip-hop, pop, and R&B think they actually hold tepid knowledge of other music, their artists, their scenese, their histories, and inner workings when really they don't know what they're talking about but want to come off as some expert or authority.

They should just fall back, do some research and stop spouting wholly uneducated opinions.

90s electronic pioneers like Orbital, The Orb, Chemical Brothers, Underworld etc still play Coachella and Glastonbury.

DJs like Stacey Pullen and Kevin Saunderson who were old school Detroit techno legends and still play the new stuff on radio stations in Europe like BBC1 manage to rock crowds.

Only in hip-hop and R&B are long term artists who made an impact disrespected and ignored by their fans and discarded for the next new disposable trend. It's POP now. Cause the majority of hip-hop fans now are POP fans. POP fans don't know dikk about music, hence why they have to have watered down crap spoonfed to them cause they never developed a palatable taste of their own.

Lowkey, this is why alot of people don't fukk with hip-hop like that anymore, cause the fans are the most ignorant and intolerable music fans in all of music.

Go to college yall. And if you already older and didn't go before then go now, go online if ya got to. Nigs need to start making 9 to 5 jobs cool, nothing is cool about being a struggling rapper and you're pretty much middle aged. I was coming out the bank and these old nikkas was outside in the van trying to sell me they cd, I didn't even acknowledge them nikkas were speaking to me, kept that shyt movin on them dudes

Damn. :yeshrug:
I tell my people don't fall in love with the game or the art, they look at me funny like im a suit lol but in my opinion, being in love with anyone or anything is an L

If you think you entitled to success because you are talented, you gonna be in for a real shock. Its that real.

He came up in the 90s. From what I recall, cats from NY pretty much signed and let actual marketing teams come in and do the work for them. Especially nice rappers.

Now, thanks to the internet, people have to do everything and do 10 times more work, for a fraction of the reward. Most artists back then didn't do year round tours or 10,000 collaborations. They did albums and mixtapes from actual DJs. Everyone is pretty much doing the southern blueprint of pushing it on your own and hope it catches on.

Here's where the upside of Trap and Club music comes in, rappers doing these genres get much more indy work at clubs and shows then people doing hardcore or backpack styles. Those are fewer and farther between, whereas you can literally play a club show every single night of the week. Agallah's music is the former.

Sad how outsiders just picked the culture apart and put their norms in Hip Hop. The "backpack" stuff of old, still gets talked about. He has that 90s mentality where if you were nice, you had a legitimate shot and everyone catered to you. Even Nas talked about that with the Queensbridge crew that wanted a handout from him from back then and wanted an easy way to get a hook ip.
