don't you gte that vibe from them though? like they're kinda trying to be a newer version of them? do you like the cool kids?? i agree though they can't touch EPMD the originals! they should be next on the hip hop honors show but no one ever gives them props.

I wore this tape out. I talking about WORN OUT. 'Let The Funk Flow' was my shit.

While the bass is steady pumpin and the beat be like thumpin
You lose your cool, then you start jumpin
You're out of control, and I'm right on track
In seconds later I work the bone out your back
To mess with the two is to mess with hot water
We like to hang, torture then slaughter
All sucker MC's, who proceed to intrude
E said (let em slide), say what but I'm in the mood
for dishin and dismissin, all those who don't listen
Reel the ones whose in, as if we was fishin
So in eighty-eight, no wait I think it's too late
Cause in eighty-seven, you bit on the old bait
So let the funk flow
"Let it flow!"


This was during that wonderful era of hip-hop from about '87 to '94 when the music could truly do no wrong. I know I sound old-ish saying this but that era, that vibe, that level of consciousness and creativity in hip-hop, I fear, will never return.
