I initally intended to do this during when people still had College Dropout avatars but got lazy only to be inspired the recent thread on Ready to Die

Skits aren't included on their own

Posts like this make me feel really old and out of the loop.

Let me be the first (and probably only, besides Jake /images/graemlins/grin.gif ) to say:

HUH? /images/graemlins/confused.gif

You fallin down a endless tunnel of doom reality
Grahically, my killer bee family stings the galaxy
Insanity, titanium stomach, devourin guiness
My flesh is solid stone despite my outer appearance
Steal disease, kill viruses, planets and racial creatures
Made MC's sprout tumors so bad, lost facial features
Waste your peoples, left out in the rain, fountains of pain
Eighty shots to the mouth and the brain, shoutin my name
Holocaust, black man, whos veins littered with thorns
Back-smack you so hard, all your seeds will be born deformed
Swarm dorms, sting birds, fling verbs like mean curves
Strike three, mics flee, I infect em with green germs, ringworm.

no way, i'm sure there are lots of asian/indian players mixed in. maybe with them you can account for 70%, but who knows.

"Two Words," and it's not even close IMO. "Last Call" is pretty good too.

definitely "two words", which is one of the best raps from Freeway, EVER. And you have Mos Def on the track. Beat is nice, and the Harlems Boys Choir fits perfectly. "Jesus Walks" is the second best.

The rest with a few exceptions are all radio friendly pop rap.

I also like "Space Ship" and "Family Business", some of the songs are horrid though, like "Breathe in Breathe Out" and "Workout Plan".

Easily my favorite song on the album, with the single "Through the Wire" being a close second.

[/ QUOTE ]yeah I know, I have only heard one other song with him on it where he didn't sound bad. Maybe thats why that track sticks out in my mind. After listening to it, I was like, damn, dude can rap. Then I checked out a few songs by him, and was like, nervermind.

Unfortunately 89% of you are wrong at the time I post this; the correct answer is Family Business.

I voted Spaceship because there is just something about that song that draws me into some different mood everytime I listened to it. A song that wierd must have something crazy going on.

Oh, ane Two Words second.

the 2 skits after school spirit are clearly the best tracks on the album by far.....

Get Em High and Through the Wire are my favorite. Overall, its a good album, i think.

You know it's a great album when every single track has at least one vote and 2/3 of them have at least three.

just had to say, The Food is dope. His performance on the Chappelle show with Common was the first time i heard it. definitely a tight track.

Only reason I picked up commons new album was because I knew Kanye produced it (good CD by the way)......

Gotta wait 3 more weeks for Late Registration...

I picked "All Falls Down" but I could easier go with Two Words, Spaceship or School Spirit.

Voted Family Business, but I also really enjoy We Don't Care. The New Workout Plan deserves mention for the classic line "ooh girl your breath is harsh, cover your mouth up, like you got SARS."
