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..

they released a video for "Shoulda Known" a couple weeks before this one:

For three albums. On every song.

I imagine Kenesaw was a church-going man.

Now all we need to know is who nu-rap-rock's Kenesaw Mountain Landis was.

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.

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

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.

Not too unfortunate.

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

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.)
