How can they say they started LA Hip Hop?!?! That's the biggest bullshit I've ever heard. I respect that they're doing something different, but to talk like they the shit is just lame. And even more, to put someone else's music in their mouth like they know them is just wrong (reference to U-N-I...who by the way are dope asss dudes!!). And no one ever said U-N-I started any kind of hip hop. They just 2 regular dudes that make music that reflect their lives and how they feel. WTF These dudes are hella whack!

But in their day, they counted. Or have you not heard the latest Duke Da God collection of old unreleased Dipset shit? Harlem Classics, I think it's called. A ton of great stuff on there. Like when Cam and Juelz rap over chipmunked Billy Joel. It's true that none of the second-string guys ever amounted to much, but at the time people like JR and Hell Rell seemed really promising.

As I said when I first heard it, it should be a terrible song but the Knux redeem it when the rapping part comes in. When I told them that, they agreed and told me that it's their least favorite song on the album. I like it.

I liked Cappuccino, Bang Bang was ok and I haven't heard anything else. I'm certainly interested in hearing their album and I'm glad at least ONE new group sees the value of not oversaturating the market with 20-something mixtapes. Plus they sound thorough and straight forward, that hipster thing remidns me of De La dissing hippies. They fail on American Apparel though. Shit is played like zodiac signs on sweatshirts.

These are thorough dudes though, on stage and in interviews. Just hope they are able to hang around on a major for more than 1 album 'cause we need other major label cats besides Ghost and The Roots to put out LPs and tour for 10+ years.
