Again: it was B-Real who did the favor of bringing Rza & U-God, not the other way around. Back then, Enter The Wu Tang wasn’t yet Enter The Wu Tang aka "mammamiachedisco," so it’s not like << almost reminding us that after all the CH do rap, and they do it duetting head held high with the best on the scene at that time. >> because the best on the scene, according to critics, were indeed the CH. Not to mention that you specifically mention EPMD, those ONE For The MONEY and TWO for The SHOW. It’s not that the review is bad, but I hate these "Can It Be That It Was All So Simple" rants, because even in the mid-90s there was a little fashion wave of Rap, and even then (and even before) they did it for money. Another thing: << Both Cypress Hill and Wu-Tang have stayed out of all this. >> When the Nu-Metal explosion happened, the Cypress made Skulls & Bones, with the nu-metal CD. When Sean Paul made money, the Cypress released their last crap inserting reggae-like garbage that would make anyone sick. Wu has also commercialized, and their last albums are fucking awful. They didn’t have the success they hoped for, but they did everything possible to get on the radio and on all the TVs, so they are "guilty" anyway. If there’s one category of music that cares most about money, it’s Rap. It has always been this way and always will be, and that's part of what makes it beautiful. This album is so beautiful because it was still all to be "invented" and the record labels didn’t yet know which rap sold and which didn’t.

"In short, those who made music back then did it almost exclusively out of passion." Well, it sounds like you're talking about that period from hearsay. The Cypress came from a funky album that surpassed a million copies, which was from another funky album that almost hit a million copies. Throw Your Set In The Air, just released, was the video of the week on Videomusic and also on MTV. From the way you talk about it, it seems like they were the underground of the underground, when in reality I bought it, as soon as it came out, at SMA. Yes, at SMA, and not in Rome or Milan, but in a small provincial capital. Then yes, with this, there was a turning point: Throw Your Set In The Air quickly disappeared from MTV & Videomusic but reigned for months on Jam and sector radio/video programs, just like Illusion. Sales were modest compared to the first two, but there wasn't a rapper who didn't have this record. The success in the scene was such that they remixed Throw Your Set In The Air into Throw Your Hands, calling in, just for the sake of it, Redman - Erick Sermon - MC 8. The success of the remix was so great that they launched an entire album of remixes, gathering all the possible and imaginable heavyweights in production and various stuff. It took a while (a year and a half), but it also surpassed a million copies.

Okay, you’re a bit slow. << Since when, on this server, do we have to stick to the central theme? Since when, on this server, talking about the most famous music journalist is considered a nuisance? >> Huh?

What’s the purpose of a private message? Since when has it been necessary to stick to the central theme on this server? Since when has talking about the most famous music journalist been a pain in the ass on this server? Enlighten me, tell me why I should send you a private message.

"It was absolutely obvious that you liked Lester Bangs." So why, if it was so obvious, did you first write, "- If Lester Bangs said a lot of bullshit, you can't deny that his name is very well known and has changed a certain way of doing music criticism... OR DO YOU WANT TO DENY THIS AS WELL?! - " What is it, are you too stupid to understand the obvious, or as I said before, do you have reading problems?

<< I don't know that record... I know something about the MC5, so I'll refrain from shooting my mouth off about things I don't know! >> And so, you set yourself up like Nick, a parody of Lester Bangs, but you've never even heard what he considered to be the best record ever made. And then, you come to teach others who Bangs was. But come on, give it a break; you’re just the latest jerk who hasn’t realized that here, in addition to the human cases, there are also people who have actually listened to something.

"<< your choice is truly unconventional, surprising, or brave... >> Ah. So, maybe I like an album, and others like it too... but if I say it sucks, am I being brave? What the hell does that mean? I like everything, I find good in every damn music genre, except punk, which isn't a music genre but just poorly done Rock N Roll."

He reviewed it, calling it a "scam." A few years later, during the height of the prog rock explosion, he talked about it in Cream, dubbing it the "best album of all time." Several years after that, though, he jumped into his (or maybe his studio's) burning house to save an album, which was Metal Box by PIL. I don't know if he saved it because he had changed his mind again; I’ve never read anything about it.

That referred to me :)

<< Kick Out The Jams a piece of shit record ?!?!?!?!!!! >> But where is this written? What browser are you using, because I can't see it.
