See, the thing I always come back to with Kool Keith is that he hooks up with some great producers, but as a lyricist, he's just kinda boring. His lyrics are funny the first time you hear them, but have no staying power (to me) and I get bored of them quickly. It's like laughing at the schizophrenics on the street. In fact, it's not really any different, since he is/was schizophrenic, is it? Really, I just don't understand why Kool Keith gets all this hype. He just doesn't seem that talented to me. I dunno.

I think this was my favorite hip-hop album of 2001. I'm not sure I'd call it similar to Blackalicious at all, though... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
