“BBBBut the Flatlinerz”

 

[Bondye Vodou]

Matter of fact, Onyx birthed Flatlinerz whole style



Sticky Fingaz verse

Nikka Flatlinerz was a gimmick too

Nobody said they weren't? But Onyx wasn't much different.

Negro pls. Onyx first and second albums is classics.

Good albums when your'e a teenager, actually Allwegotisus has some interesting material, I'll pay that.

“I’m thinc about taking my own life, I might as well, but they prolly don’t sell weed in hell ”

“That’s where I’m going cuz the devils inside of me “

“shyt they gonna get it from somebody might as well be me ”

song is a perfect example of early 90s hip hop trying too hard to be edgy and shocking. That shyt wasn’t natural at all. A lot of it was forced.

“Besides, they can’t tax dirty money ”

Let's be honest though, Onyx was gimmick and corny too, over the top gun talk, they nailed the teenage audience though.

Not disagreeing with that but they were by far superior lyrically. All 3. Also Sticky was incredible lyrically and Black Trash was an even further testament. I am strictly comparing talent here not styles.

Definitely, Sticky is/was great, every Onyx song was essentially a 'waiting for Sticky's verse' . I still have his signature from when he worked with my pops, signed ' Sticky Fingaz, (mad face) Stay ya ass in school'.

All We Got IZ US is a personal classic to me. Love that dark ass album. Onyx easily wins this.

flatlinerz was the definition of a gimmick and a plant at the same fukking time

even if you thought onyx was a gimmick on the first album..all we got iz us and shut em down proved they were far more than that

that judgment night soundtrack went hard....i wasn't even fukking with metal like that but this was one of the few exceptions

 

[QU Hectic]

I rock with Onyx in the strength of there first 3 albums , but this is one of my favorite album covers of all time

Paul shopped the Gravediggaz demo directly to Russell and he passed on it. And after Wu pops and Diggaz have the Gee Street deal and are producing singles, suddenly FlatlinerZ pop up.

Even funnier when omen from FL kinda almost joined gravediggaz for album 3 with shabazz per the demos for the album.

Onyx is one of the pioneers of the hardcore ny 90s sound. Da fukk the Flatlinerz do to be compared to Onyx??

Yeah man, Shut Em Down was FIRE too, no way is this thread even remotely close to being true.... Onyx was way better.
