I forget the site, it was like hip-hop universe or galaxy or something, but around 2003, they straight up made a list of the hottest MCs in the game and Sage Francis was number one...

Natural elements had nothing to do with that whole movement...that would be like mentioning l da headtoucha, smooth the hustler, b1, half a mil, godfather don etc...completely different styles and far better mcing

Different era as well. That was mid to late 90s when underground hip-hop was still decent.

Natural Elements was and still is my shyt. Even though they tended to re-use the same lines over and over again (ex: see I'm about to get paid and live the life)



Not natural e but produced by Charlemagne from elements.

Cage is nowhere near great breh. Beyond having a poor rapping voice and not riding beats well, son has some of the most corny, embarrassing music in the history of the genre (i.e. most of the Movies for the Blind album). I don't see how anyone who isn't a depressed/angry/troubled adolescent can listen to songs like 'Suicidal Failure' and 'The Soundtrack' without cringing. Cage also has one of the WOAT albums of any genre (Depart from me). I haven't listened to Hell's Winter since around the time it came out, but even if it still stands up that's still just a "One hot album every ten year average". Dude regressed to the mean and went back to being wack straight after.

I've been binging on "indie nerd rap" today since I had to be in the car for damn near three hours :russ:
Copywrite's first album is garbage :scust:
More than half the beats are :scust:
His voice is :scust:
And the subject matter is :russell:
It took me like 15 minutes to get through that album :russ:
This is the song that first had me checking for Copy and it still holds up though :wow:

And Cage floated on this. :wow:
