   Finally some sense comes out of Madden’s mouth. word up Treach was that dude

   Treach was “the dude” when OPP came out, but now people know him as the guy who got shot in the azz on Sopranos. Just like Lord Jamar was known – not for Brand Nubian – but for having an allergic reaction as “Supreme Allah” of Oz (and being on Sopranos also). Of course, with a new record coming out, things may change…

    Mad Lions throat HAD to hurt after that. After seeing MC Lyte recently at the hip hop summit, she HAD to find the fountain of youth. KRS’ verse was wack. I’m remembering how I could NEVER understand really what Treach was EVER talking about (but NBN used to be the SHIT). I heard that CL Smooth was dead, is that true?

18. Foekist Says:
    April 26th, 2006 at 2:26 pm

    Speaking of CL Smooth, Game had a nice lil metaphor when he said “My CL so smooth, it should come with Pete Rock.” That was nice.

19. p1 Says:
    April 26th, 2006 at 2:26 pm

    yeah, too many of the heads my age and under dont know anything about shit like this. its sad, really.

    gza, meth, guru, qtip, phife, lyte, treach and krs all on stage together, though. damn. good looks, eskay.

20. p1 Says:
    April 26th, 2006 at 2:28 pm

    oh yeah, and another thing: this video answers any southerners complaining about “why would you say bring back NY?” this is that old newyork shit that the game is fucked up hurtin without.

21. G-town G Says:
    April 26th, 2006 at 3:08 pm

    that was def. a classic. i havent watched late night talk shows since arsenio went off. no point since u’d never find any of these artist on those shows. arsenio didnt just have guest performers…he had mini concerts. u could tell how much everyone respected him and his show. ’bout to play this again.
