If we are talking about the most underated 'ill' MC, it would have to be Ill Bill. Standard! |
The only "stupid" comment here is you calling someone elses opinion stupid. You're probably just a little slow so it's probably hard for you to decipher the content of the lyrics. It's ok, I hear Hooked On Phonics actually works. Maybe you should give it a try.

Do you mean "If he had stayed true to how they all started out" from a musical/artistic standpoint? Or you mean his attitude or whatever?
Just curious is all. I'm no hip-hop aficionado myself and don't claim to be, I'm an old school metal-head actually. But I loved Anghellic (Absolute power was decent) and thought he was one of the more creative and imaginative rappers out there who is not affraid to try new things. And the dude can straight flow. Also, one of the few rappers I've seen live that could actually "wow" an audience with his flows. He brought a lot to the stage, huge presence vs. say Eminem who can flow like a madman but he was boring live and had little stage presence. Great songwriter though, except for his last CD.

I'm not saying he hasen't laced some nice tracks from time to time but he got a taste of the "techno" type fans and left all the KC street stuff behind. As far as KC is concerned (at least those I talk to) he sold out, tryed to change his whole formula to be something he wasen't and now he's screwed. You can't ever get that back. Besides, anyone who can work with someone like Quincy Jones and not create a hit...sorry bro...you don't got what it takes. It's kind of a double edge sword for me...he has talent, no doubt...and as I said, he will always be a legend in KC but I think he's just misguided or something. Maybe if he would just put the REAL techn9ne on wax and drop all the pretending, he could have a chance. Through all my shit talk, I still wish him the best...after all, he's still from the Midwest.
