need opinons on some mc's/ groups

[prylwd]

Me and my good buddy are really into hip hop so we are always telling each other what to look out for. And I just wanted to get some opinions on some groups/ solos before I blow $100? Thanks for the help. They are:

Lip Service
N8 the Gr8
7l and esoteric
shapeshifters (which Ive heard but cant remember)
Count d Bass
Devin the Dude

Devin the Dude

i highly reccommend

N8 the Gr8

N8 the Gr8 from the Cuf is the shit... i'd say pick up a few Cuf releases if you can... they've got that slump!! No money more problems is a dope album...

And the others? Thanks for the tips though.

well, I don't know about Lip Service, but Randy (from Lip Service) has a 9 song EP called Turning the Worm which is produced entirely by Elon.is which is dope.

Never was a fan of 7L and Esoteric

Shapeshifters have a lot of crew members. They have a few crew albums which I'm not too familiar with. I'd recommend picking up Life Rexall's albums Frequency Response and Smoke Signals. Existereo's Crush Groove album is pretty dope. Also, pick up Ravish which is Die from the Shapeshifters and produced by Deeskee... deeskee is the shit so pick up his albums too.

Count Bass D is alright, kinda MF Doomish... pick up Dwight Spitz.. his new album is more like 20 1 minute song snippets and i wasn't really feeling it.

I like some of the Lip Service stuff. especially if you are into those FAST FLOWS.

i'm with Skibadee on the Dwight Spits album. It's a real solid album but I would say more of a producer's album like Diamond D's "stunts, blunts . . . .". The emceeing is solid, good enough that you don't feel it is lacking in anyway -- but it is the beats and the production that really make the album.

Esoteric is kinda classic whiteboy east coast stuff. I sorta like that, but not too much of it -- but a lot of people, and i suspect a good number of folks that post on here -- aren't feelin it.

Devin is one of my favorite lyricists...and is def on some smooth type style. all of his albums are classic...although 'to tha x-treme' and 'just tryin to live' are my favorites.

lip service's one of my favorites, better than most other stuff out there.
7l and esoteric sounds like Jay Z to me

lip service, lip lip service. by the way didnt they split up? And now epedos and randy went seperate ways, never heard of epedos again after his self released cd on the net.

[prylwd]

Thanks for the help. I usually dont listen to him b/c his opinons usually suck. I give him good albums like poltergiest, p. johns cds, emanon, etc... and he says they are nothing compared to jedi mind. hahahahh
