I still play Fantastic Damage... Def Jux compilation 2 is also highly recommended. Only positive I can take from that era besides those two records was MF DOOM taking over, and that racists underground crowd giving rise to some ridiculous 5% horrocore rap from Jus Allah and even dudes like Immortal Technique.

That was the era of cats putting all that over the top battle rap bragging to dope beats. I still dig it. But yeah, I can't with that Sage Francis mahfugga

Might catch the neg train for this, but while a lot of anticon was shyt, I think Sole's album Bottle of Humans is very good and is a borderline classic underground album from that era

Indie heads would really argue with you that Sage Francis is better than Jay-Z with a straight face. The struggle voices. The struggle flows

I can that some people don't like Sage Francis but anybody that has heard 3-4 Sage Francis songs knows he doesn't struggle at all with flows.

I just wanted to see if Slug got disrespected.
Neg rep was on deck.

You made a smart decision.

Stop the press - the anti-white racist message board doesn't like white rappers' music.

This message board is the equivalent of a short school bus labelled "RETARDS."

STILL the worst forum on the Internet, for like 5+ years counting. No credibility anywhere to be seen. Just a bunch of shock threads and knuckle dragging cavemen. Wake the fukk up, morons. It's 2016, not 1816.
