sz> Tribe is supposed to have a new album out this summer, which they
sz> describe as more stripped down and raw, less reliant on samples...

i was fronted a copy of the single "1nce again" (a friend of mine works for
bmg--parent label of jive) and that was DEFINITELY sample laden, it seemed
kinda like various snippets from the "midnight marauders" album put together
as a new track. it was alright, but defintely a deja' vu thing going on.

sz> I heard the new Digital Underground album at a listening station in a
sz> record store. The title was something about food fights or
sz> something....

i cracked up when i read that!

sz> In my opinion, the album was poor, sounding very much
sz> like an 80's studio bomb, with very cheesy keyboard sounds and weak
sz> drum loops.

i got the single for "oregano flow" and immediately passed it on to my
buddies (i wasn't crazy about it, but they liked it). i'm wondering what's
happening in shock g's head, cuz i'm not gettin' it...
