    A- A.F. Venom's: I liked the rhymes quite a bit. The flow was pretty nice too. Then the background music made the song a lot better too.

    C+ Chutney: The song was okay but was a little to slow for me. I didn't really like the rhymes that much.....C'mon Chutney, have your video when your posting, not put "searching...."

    Guys, you need to provide more of an explanation. The grade isn't as important as the reasoning, IMO.

    I love this - one of my favorite songs of all-time. It's the perfect blend of rock and hip-hop. These guys nailed it. IMO they should have brought Cody ChesnuTT in for more than just this track. The guy absolutely makes the song with his vocals and that catchy riff. Unfortunately, this was about the only standout track on Phrenology. The Roots started to go downhill with this album. They're still better than most of what's out there, but go back and check out albums like Illadelph Halflife and Organix. Those are two of the all-time great hip-hop albums.

    (BTW - The editing on this video was pretty annoying. Why can't you say "bush" on tv?)

    New Song:

    Some of the new rappers should take a page from these guys' book -

    De La Soul - My, Myself, and I

    Honestly, that was my first time actually sitting down and listening to De La, however I've been planning to pick up one of their albums for a while. That was a cool joint though, nothing great lyrically, B+

    I don't know how anybody (at least fans of hip hop) could not appreciate this song:

    A, I love this song. One of Will Smith's best songs. Great lyrics, beat, just a song to kick back, chill and listen to.

    I just don't feel E-40. In my opinion, his lyrics are real crappy, and the only thing I enjoy is the beat.

    Is this supposed to be diss towards Jim Jones? Because I really don't hear any good disses, or in fact, any at all.

    Man, it's really great to see another Bone Thugz fan on this site. IMO they're at the top of the hip-hop/rap game now. Their music really brings me back to HS. Like sophomore or junior year, me and my boys on the basketball team used to go hotbox in the thirty minutes we had between the end of school and practice, and we'd listen to stuff like this, Sublime, Bob Marley, etc. Great weed music... but it's also great music in general. Their flow is underrated, and the speed they had is a lost art in today's game.

    Here's another song that just brings me back...

    I never was a big fan of Lauren Hill, but I do love that song. Good beat, good rhymes, emotionally charged.

    I love Will Smith, but I'll never get over the way that he ripped off the Clash on this one. When it first came out though, I remember really being into it, not really knowing who the Clash were at the time.

    Good times..C+...good weed song, but Styles spit a lot of corny one "high" liners on that song...high as a kite...smoke like a chemeney....etc....still a nice song, and the beat/sample use is nice as hell.

    I couldn't find the real video, but this is still a real good song so I'ma post it anyway.

    ^I always liked that song. I liked the lyricism and the overall concept behind it. Pharoahe did a good job on the hook too. B+

    I'm currently listening to this:
