This review is dumb.. Basing a critcization on a single is bull.. I heard Atmosphere's new album it was great, this is the only song that he has this type a voice on... Songs like Yesterday, Waiter, Glass House were better than previous albums could create..

Slug is doing good..

I like Atmosphere, but Everlast did this better. For three albums. On every song.

I’ll be damned if something knocks “Alopecia” out of the #1 spot for me, but comparing Yoni Wolf to any black guy, let alone a pioneer in race relations…gadzooks!

Definitely someone in POD. I imagine Kenesaw was a church-going man.

@Jeff Weiss: I guess in that kinda context, it makes a bit more sense. Now all we need to know is who nu-rap-rock's Kenesaw Mountain Landis was.

@ Nate I know Doby was a great ballplayer. That’s my point. Slug is a great rapper too, but this isn’t going to live on Jackie Robinson-like either. Only real baseball trivia geeks know Doby, I’m surprised anyone even picked up the reference. Nice work.

Maxim approves of your record review techniques.

Unlike the rap-rock of the past

I don't know, there was at least one rap-rock song from the past that did manage to rock it acoustic pretty well:

you know what’s pissing off atmosphere fans more than the potential new sound? slug’s greasy mullet.

I've heard the album and, no, it's not the return of mook rock. This track is actually a bit of an anomaly and it was inspired by a one-off charity event where Slug rapped backed solely by a guitarist.

The record is going to surprise Atmosphere fans, tho, and probably piss off some of them. There's a track called "You" that's a huge, radio-friendly (and terrific) pop song.

Given the proclivities of Idolator’s newest guest blogger (though I realize he’s not responsible for this post), I’m not sure if I should interpret the Durst comparison as an insult or not.

Uh, Larry Doby is a seven-time all-star, MVP runner-up and Hall of Famer. Not too unfortunate.

Plus that guitar sounds plugged in to me. (And closer to Bill Withers than Limp Bizkit.)

Unfortunately, judging from the "Guarantee" video, Slug seems to be the Larry Doby of neo-rap-rock.

You mean "unfortunately" he's a seven-time all-star, MVP runner-up and Hall of Famer?

Also, that guitar sounds plugged in to me. (And closer to Bill Withers than Limp Bizkit.)
