Stephen Colbert Has Full Intentions Of Humbling Kanye West
AUDIO By Gotty™ on December 2, 2008 at 7:09 pm…and despite what I may say against Kanye, I will not bet against a fellow Gemini. We’re too full of ourselves to believe in being humbled by mere mortals.
Only tragic incidents involving dismemberment & furry squirrels can change the direction of our lives. It was written…and we will it to be.

speaking of (not so) g.o.o.d. music…
does anyone care to talk about how good Common’s new disc is…which is why it’s going to retail at 99¢
Gemini’s ruuuuuuuuuuuuule!!!!
*whew, always feels good to get that off my chest*
On the real though, Colbert got him in that ‘voice of a generation/decade/auto-tune’ segment…
I wish anyone but Common made this album, cause I like it. It’s just hard to shake the fact that Common made it. Digging the beats and the rhymes match, but he’s completely devoid of flow and that’s hard to stomach, given that the same man made “Resurrection.” Does the lyrical excellence have to be dumbed all the way down to make a party album? Why can’t we get intricate rhymes over bouncy beats?
That said, I’ll be buying it. I still find it preferable to Finding Forever. That was a shit sandwich.
Electric Circus, Part Re-Deux: Unfinished Business
^ Yup.
Just less creative.
I got VH1 Soul on, and they just got done playing a block of Nappy Roots videos…the ones with Anthony Hamilton
Boy, that down-South country soul is a good antidote to all this electro-synth bullshit
can somebody tell me why Nappy Roots never blew up? they sure deserved to…they were like a mix of Goodie MOb. & Souls Of Mischief to me
^ fcuk what you heard, that album was pretty damn amazing….. EASILY one of my all-time favorites…
We’re talkin’ bout Unfinished Business, right?
^ EPMD’s 2nd? oh, no doubt
Oh, ok, Teef….cuz that Common is Not The Business lol…
Where are all the people that thought Common’s album was going to be trash?
see, here’s the thing:
the production on UMC sounds impersonal, and the subject matter is supposed to be personal
UMC = cyborg…some half-human, half-robot sounding stuff
some android type shit

PRESENT!!!!!
I was just tellin my homie how Boo Boo this album is….right now! It’ll probably be like Electric Circus. We’ll dig it 5-10 years later or some shit!!!!
HERE!!!!
(Contact TC for further proof. He hs the documentation)
too much synthesizer and auto-tune, for that matter, and you run the risk of having a souless sounding album. UMC isn’t horrible, it’s just mostly ‘Enh’.

Yeah. I could pretty much take it or leave it. I’m already looking forward to “The Believer”.
Ah finally. I was waiting for TSS to write something about this. I was cracking up last night when I watched it.
On the UMC note I personally enjoyed this album. Whether or not I’m going to be spinning it a couple weeks from now is TBD, but after the first couple of listens it’s definitely not bad.

I like that 1st album. I just don’t think any of them stood out enough as an individual for me to really buy into them like that. The dude with the most personality got kicked to the curb after the 2nd album & for the most part, the rest of their verses just blend into each other. The followed the ONP blueprint, but never really established their own thing. Some solid tunes though.
^ i just like what they stood for though: some down-to-earth Everyman type of stuff, like an even countrier LIttle Brother, lol
Off topic-That Clipse mixtape is bananas!
“It’ll probably be like Electric Circus. We’ll dig it 5-10 years later or some shit!!!!”
I seriously doubt many ppl who heard Electric Circus in 2002 and didn’t like it suddenly like it now.
^ those nag champa smelling fruits at OKP will bring up EC every once in a while…trying to extol the virtues of that album and persuade people into giving it another chance…it was aight
that 1-2 combo of Erykah AND Serena’s super snatch did him in
Nappy Roots 1st LP was good. I think they waited too long to drop the 2nd album.
Electric Circus just reminds me of Com in knit hats nd male capri pants…not that that has anything to do w/ the music (or does it?)…..just a suspect time for Lonnie Lynn, I spose…
clipse mixtape was the highlight of my day, UMC…not so much. i just found myself zoning out to it. clipse and facemob will own this month for me.
I think industry trouble really hurt the Nappy Roots; their 1st album was good; they took way too long to follow up with another lp.
I like Electric Circus; but I can be honest and say it was Common’s weakest album. I only listened to UMC once; but I enjoyed it.
Dudes one Elf ear creeps me out.
