Double-O & Naledge

Other than the lame "Drivin' Down the Block" track which is way too similar to "Black Mags" by The Cool Kids (even the remix features The Cool Kids), this album displays a lot of talent from the critically acclaimed duo. The beats from Double-O are more like pieces that don't even necessarily need words to be great. BUT!, Naledge is one of the dopest emcees out, and he never makes any songs sound like duplicates. EVERY song has its own unique flavor. My fave is "Let Your Hair Down" which sounds completely different from the title track "The In Crowd", which is also one of my faves, and sounds more like a cross between rap and a Gnarles Barkley jam. The lineup featured on this album is quite captivating. Phonte's verse on "Paper Trail" (altho a little low behind the loud beat) is quite amazing, which I'm sure we all expected. Skyzoo, Buckshot, Sean Price, Guilty Simpson, Black Milk, and more all showed up to drop it like it's hotter than hell.

Anybody listen to The Cool Kids? They had a song in NBA Live 08 called "88". It was the song playing in the demo incase anybody played the demo.

Anyway, I'm liking a lot of their music. They kinda have an old school sound but it's real cool. Right now I'm feeling "Action Figures" and "Oscar". They're next release is Tuesday when they're dropping another EP with both of those songs on it.

their whole old-school sound approach is a worthy idea, but to me it's getting stale. There is only so much you can do with "simpleness". But yall know me for liking beats with lots of extra soul samples integrated in it, so you can understand my sentiment.

Re: fans of underground rap?

got dang, "Motown 25" of Elzhi's Euro Pass is just ridiculous. Such a sick sample....Black Milk and Royce = greatness.

Question -

I have never seen Atmosphere live, but I was looking at clips and does Slug just kind of stand there and walk back and forth across stage the whole time? Seems like a very boring show to me.

And Justus For All will be the 4th album but more like a official mixtape by American hip-hop group Little Brother. It is scheduled for release on June 10, 2008 with seven all-new tracks on the iTunes version and five new tracks on the CD Version. As well as mastered versions of nine tracks from their 2007 Mick Boogie mixtape of the same name. "Black Light Special" features the duo teaming up again with their former group mate 9th Wonder for an instant head-nodder. "Black Light Special" will be available on the iTunes version only as well as "Do Ya Thang," which is one of four new tracks produced by frequent collaborator Khrysis.

The new music also features appearances from Oh No, Tiye Phoenix, and production from DJ Spinna and Designated Hitters.

And "Justus For All" will be released on The Hall Of Justus via Traffic Entertainment Group.

well you'll notice a lot of tracks that have been out on previous mixtapes or the featured artists' albums. Def won't be their strongest work imo, but I can't wait nonetheless.
