I havent heard them in ages, forgot they existed (they were popular in my youthful days) heard em again in a friends car, This song Better days (beautiful message) and one called Walou are super nice melodies.

He doesnt want us to know exactly :D

"The name 'Alborosie' comes from a name he was given in his early years in Jamaica. "Borosie was what they used to call me. Let me put it like this. My early experience in Jamaica was… not nice. Borosie was a name they used to call me and it have a negative meaning. So I said “I'm gonna use this name and mash up the place turn a negative into a positive thing!". Basically my name is Albert so I add “Al” – Al-borosie. But I’m not gonna tell you what borosie mean!"

    Yea, I read that on Wiki. Wanted to know what it means. Checked Urban Dictionary, and it means rude boy, or jerk. Doesn't sound so bad to me.

    Btw, Sound The System is such a great album. Tons of good stuff on there.

    Dope unique beats/sound, good overall MC in terms of classic style and attitude of the G funk cali era (legend, for chronic as you said)), but put him on a stage and tell him to rap off the cuff, and he'll choke. But he knew his limitations (unlike a punk like Diddy who actually thought he could rap...), thats why he crowded himself with talented lyrical rappers who featured heavily with him and wrote lyrics for him.


    Dude is dope as fuck either way:




    Makes me wanna re-watch Friday for the 10th time :D

    No doubt, I don't think there's anyone that can all 3 (write, rap, produce) really well.. except maybe DOOM :p

    Cases in point: Mm.. Food, Take Me To Your Leader & Operation Doomsday

    Alot of em can write and rap, in fact any rapper who cant write for himself aint no rapper at all (one thing to occasionally use writers, like Snoop done), Dre himself basically says he aint no rapper. Adding production to it is another matter, but there are a few, like Big Krit for example excells at all 3.


    And your obbsession with MF doom is charmingly amusing :D (he is better producer then the other two though for me, very specific type of boom bap beats). But yeah Operation doomsday is nice.


    About MF doom, corious about a collabo work he is doing with a kid he is mentoring called Bishop Nehru. Should be nice.

    I don't think he does much production, or only some of it. DOOM did like 95% of production on those 3 albums.

    DOOM is the best lyricist ever for me. His MCing is pretty dope too but I wouldn't say he is as good as Chuck D, Biggie, Ice Cube etc.

    Yeah heard about that, haven't checked it but everything of his is always good :D

    Can't wait for Madvillainy 2 :tuttosport:

    also that sounds rather familiar :p
