Why are Tash/The Alkoholiks so underrated?

[KingsOfKings]

Good damn question

more in the backpacker lane so they were never going to be big. but the disrespect is kinda crazy. I still have Tash - Rap Life on CD. that album was dope.

What does Tash do for a living?

First two albums are classics for me. I still play those crazily, to this day.

And as a day one fan of these dudes, I can honestly say that Tash was mad overrated. J-Ro was just as dope as dude, but for whatever reason, people went crazy for Tash back in the day. Then when he dropped his solo, it was trash. Some people are better off staying in their groups. Tash was never dope enough to go solo.

After the second album, they got off-course. The drinking gimmick got a little corny, and they just didn't have that undeniable quality anymore. 21 & Over was the first album I ever bought on CD, as a kid. They were mad dope, but a lot of groups got lost in the mix after '96.

Tash was nice. His first solo was dope!

And Likwidation was . Y’all tripping saying only the first two were dope.
