What do you like about INNER CITY POET?

It would seem that Gangsta Dre is a Siccness favorite. What's special to you about Inner City Poet? Or maybe you don't like it, all replies are welcome.

Interesting...

@ Lu_ , Me and you usually have similar taste in these Sac threads, but not so much for this album.

To me the album is unique to for Sacramento rap and the album itself is a mixed bag as well.


I don't really know shit about production and mixing. But on the title track, I could say yeah there's a lot of layers to that beat that might be fucking up the way it sounds on some peoples CD players.

See below:

I'd say the same thing.

Not too many rappers calling themselves poets nowdays.

For me, this album came at the right time in my life. When I got the album I could get stuck on some old teenage feeling sorry for myself bullshit so I could relate, I was listening to it steadily. Plus I usually gravitate towards more of a mellow, player sound --even depressing type rap moreso than live party music. I liked " Close to da end" "sittin by the edge of the curb" and "let it rain" . I might say I value honesty in lyrics more than sensationalism.

I'd say C.O.S takes a page from this album to inspire his style of music, as far as the lyrical content goes and bringing light to struggle and pain, and I fuck with that.

And to reiterate my point about honest lyrics.
I liked this song off My crazy Life

It's rare for dudes especially rappers to talk about a girl playing them. Seems more REAL to me.

That's dope.
