jbrown and vamos dropped my general sentiments but Eye did want to hit a specific point raised in the original post.... ...."Underground Hip-Hop can't be classic no matter how dope it is, right?"....not sure Eye agree with that conceptually and the quandary of that proposal is illustrative of why the whole "classic" designation is problematic. The term Underground Hby EyeGetzRaw - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Respect due, Beatmeister! Eye appreciate the kind words and you know the admiration is mutual. You have bore witness for those of us who did not happened to come up in the cradle of the culture. You have laid it down with authority, not just because you have the authentic experience but, because you have always kept it funky. In that same spirit, Eye say this.....in this day and age, Eye thinkby EyeGetzRaw - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Hmmm. This one is complicated. Melle Mel is over 50 years old. Eye start with that because, IMO, it's one of the most relevant observations to make....especially when trying to comprehend his statements. Eye have opined elsewhere how easily one becomes disconnected from the contemporary when their own interests are no longer being served. Hence, the stance regarding Hip Hop in the posby EyeGetzRaw - Crate Digging: Hip Hop

I for one can appreciate you making the move, I would have done the same, solo or with my peeps, rain or shine, but a wife's forgiveness means the difference between you sleeping in the doghouse or sleeping in bed, so hopefully she's got a short term anger LOL...

Quoteuptownkid ^^no doubt bro. Although it was all highway and smooth flowing (versus local roads), and i could pop in a standard (80 min) CD-R and be home by the time it was done - it did nothing put stack up crazy mileage on the car in that short period of time.

Know I'm late to this discussion but, my two cents.... Have all three, generally agree with all that's been said (although, Eye wouldn't completely write off the 3rd...but, it is the weaker of the three). Eye have probably listened to the Stress album in it's entirety more often than the debut.
