u probably just dont listen with an open enough mind to enjoy 'conscious' Hip Hop. You just use the word preachy as an umbrella term that u use for anything relating to politics, society or whatever that sounds bad to you.

Album Rating: 4.5

forget the story or how deep/original the lyrics are (I can't stress enough how silly I think it is to put such paramount importance on this) this is a masterpiece in rhyming and rhythm. and for what it's worth I find some of the punchlines and one liners on this hilarious and wholly original.

but it's funny because your favorite example of the 2deep4u conscious hip hop is immortal technique who is the poster boy for preachy, pretentious, self absorbed rap. if he had a flow like L it wouldn't matter, but he doesn't...it's pretty weak in fact. whatever IT does, Mos Def for example and countless other MC's did far better and more tastefully without sacrificing the hip hop to get their points across.

Fuck karate Big L practice Gun Fu

"dude has to have the best flow ever i dont even care what hes sayin"

yeah. zackly. In other words you guys listen to rap 100% for how it sounds regardless what it means. Sorry but I don't overate nonsense because it sounded catchy and I don't listen to ignorant black racists dissing white people because the song had a dope beat. Anyone can come up with clever rhythmic rhymes about the same 4 things that puts their mind to it.

Mos Def is a talented rapper but an ignorant clown dude im not even going to argue with you you are just too ignorant to call out his bullshit on his songs. check out his interview on Bill Maher... he is as ignorant as can be.

Yeah IT is somewhat pretentious, I don't agree with almost any of his conclusions on communist revolution, but he knows his history, which is more than most people can say today. And honestly hes made about 50 songs that are better overall than anything on this, the only CD Big L made that is 40 mins long... about the same 4 things ... LEGENDARY! smh

"you guys listen to rap 100% for how it sounds regardless what it means."

lmao nice avatar. Immortal Technique is hardly about his sound? what are u talking about? I like Immortal Technique cus he talks about obscure and crucial history that people need to know... I agree with his premises, not all of his conclusions, the premises brought up in Mos Def and Big L's lyrics is absolute nonsense that a kid who took Polisci 101 could disprove.

lmao we said the same thing

IT sounds really good on a lot of songs if u want to actually give him a try instead of talkin out your ass ill tell u some songs that are not only more lyrical but better overall than anything on here.
