Dope interview. That Mandatory sentencing guideline.

I really enjoyed this episode, I never really knew much about John Forte. I remember hearing his name on Wyclef verses and production notes, but then listened to his cd, I think it was called Poly-Sci, at a record store once and didn't like it. I want to listen to I, John since lately I have been listening to more much music and music with depth as I approach my 30s.

I also enjoyed listening to the movie-like way Forte got involved in drug running then served a lengthy prison term from coming from an ivy league background. The Fugees are an interesting group, I listened to the champs podcast about a year or so ago and Pras was just as an engaging. It was a blend of highly educated, African-American youth who felt disenfranchised in one way or another and each crafted a lengthy and interesting narrative.

Really interesting in hearing his story, I never knew much about his Fugees background

Premium Pete was in his element with this prison talk.

One of the best combat EPs thus far. I have a feeling we're not getting an EP this week, combat is on Vaca

no offense to the dude, idk what he was in prison for but it annoys me every time he brings it up, you would swear he did 20 years the way he sounds at times

I know a bit about combats background but what's this dudes background in the music industry?

 

[newarkhiphop]

What tupac thread?

The one where it was mentioned combat wrote a negative article about Tupac after he died

I don't think he's gonna stop posting here he probably just a busy guy ain't got time

This was a great episode tho. John Forte is a real eloquent dude, I love to hear guys representing the culture with intelligence. Crazy how he got caught up in that shyt.

lol yeah I said it sarcastically!

Premium Pete's background in hip-hop you mean? I have no idea to be honest. I believe he was upstate for about 5 years, non-violent crime
