Slug's never not been about "women scarred me".

Atmosphere's live show is awesome.

The huge population of 16 year old white girls at said show is not awesome.

I love Atmosphere, but I tend to hate their fans.

And Ghostface is amazing and Talib is horrible.

but yours is more better...2x awesome rappers.

As a hijack...Does being in a group (remember that ? rap "groups"...) diminish the individual greatness of rappers?

If you were to make a top 10 greatest rappers list, wouldn't it be hard to put say, a certain member of the pharcyde on it, even though their first album would easily make the 10 greatest records ever? Individual awesomeness > group efforts (?)

Wow. Very negative.

I'll be at their show in SF on Sunday.

Ghost does not suck, but I haven't seen him live, and am a little skeptical of his live performance. Talib's live shows are usually not great, but not really bad either. I am hoping that Mos and Talib together put on a great show, and Pharaohe is sick as hell (is he signed yet?). Jean Grae is probably the sickest female lyricist around.

Re: Mos Def, Talib Kwali, Ghostface and more 11/1/05 - Santa Cruz
 

Pharoahe has always been signed.

Actually, I am pretty sure that he was basically a free agent after Rawkus folded. From what I hear, he was (and maybe still is) in talks with Shady Records to sign to Denaun Porter's label (Runyon Ave, I believe). All of these talks were going on around the end of last year I think, and then I heard there was supposedly a bidding war going on, but I never really heard whether or not he signed anywhere. But from what I heard, it sounded like they were all but waiting for him to sign the papers (to Shady/Runyon Ave), but then I never heard anything after that.

Still got the tickets if anybody wants to go.

Mostly people you wouldn't know about. TheSaurus, NoCanDo, Illmaculate, Okwerdz, and a bunch of other bay area people.

I would say that anything pre-Lucy Ford is not really about that. Pretty much all of Overcast is not about that, the Dynospectrum isn't like that, and most of the first "seven" tape isn't like that. Granted, I even liked the opening days of the emo-Slug, but now it's just repetitive schtick.

like I said, they definitely rocked it when I saw 'em.

It's pretty self explanatory. Nas doesn't have a good performance at concerts.

This is highly amusing for reasons only like one other poster here will get.
