[Jake]

anybody else heard the advance for this? shit is dope! its going to be his first release since being signed to hiero and its doesnt dissapoint,cant stop bumpin it...anybody else heard it? or just a fan of OC/starchild in general?

 

[Nuttkase]

Damn... I haven't heard the advance yet. I am a huge OC fan though. Dude is raw on the mic. To this day Word...Life is one of my favorite albums.

I will have to keep my eyes peeled for the advance. Good looking out on the info. Sicc.

Sorry for bringing up an old thread, but I got a question..

"Smoke and mirrors" was one of my favorite albums in 2005, but what`s up with that "Starchild"-album? It`s obviously quite hard to find that album. Rapreviews.com and allhiphop.com gave it great reviews, but I read somewhere that OC wasn`t satisfied with it and that he will revamp and rerelease it.
Have some of you heard "Starchild"? How do you compare it to "Smoke and mirrors" and "Bon Appetit"? What kind of producers does he use? Thanks.

you can listen to it and order it here

in my opinion its way better tahn bon appetit and on the same level as smoke and mirrors. so basically if you are feeling smoke and mirrors you will like starchild as well

Yeah shit is raw. For those of you don't know OC is from the legendary DITC (Diggin in the Crates) crew. They were on top in the early-mid 90s with Big L, Lord Finesse, Showbiz & AG, Fat Joe (when he was good), Buckwild, and Diamond D. Cam'ron even got his start trhough them...

O.C. is one of those dudes that could never come wack. I have his first 3 but haven't heard those 2005 shits, need to get those. The album cover for Smoke and Mirrors is tight.

finally saw him live on the Hiero tour last summer and he really came nice at that too. Just dj and mc which is really nice.

i rate O.C.'s cds like this
1. Jewelz - Its My World, Stronjay, Hypocrite, list goes on that shit is bangin
2. Star Child - I believe it was only released and japan, and then there were some sample clearance issues preventing a U.S. release.
3. Word... Life - shit sounds old school buts its bangin and some tracks are real jazzy
4. Smoke And Mirrors - O.C. still has that swagger on the mic but i felt the production wasnt up to par
5. Bon Appetite - I wasnt feelin the beats.
