Never change, you grumpy glorious bastard
He's right though.
No he isn't. Chali 2na is one of the tightest MCs ever and the same thing he said about J5 could apply to any other turn-of-the-century popular "alt" hip-hop (Mos Def, Roots, Dilated Peoples, QN5), or even to the Native Tongues crew and especially the Wu-Tang Clan. Hieroglyphics, Project Blowed, Solesides and the Likwit Crew would've had the same type of fans if they were just slightly more successful. But way before J5 had any radio hits, they were doing shows with all those guys. Think most of them even met each other at the Good Life Cafe's open mics which was basically the place that laid the foundation for So-Cal underground hip-hop.

Nah J5 seriously have the worst fans ever. I've never heard any other group who have quite the same level of boring ignorant fans.
They're only one step away from those people that post on facebook "What happened to people like Tupac all we have is Lil Wayne music is dead". And that's only because they''re only too busy being nice and bland to have time to complain about anything.

Swear down, somebody needs to come up with a topic that Genevieve and Wolf violently disagree on. That'd be a read and a half.

Nah, Lil Wayne fans are the worst. Like when Tha Carter album came out they were hailing him as the only talented rapper left and they were everywhere.
When a white suburban indie rocker likes the Wu-Tang Clan, they almost feel like they've been invited into the Black Panther's inner circle.

I'm indifferent to him, but 'Among Dreams' is one hell of a choon

They're not entirely shit. They have some tracks I like, but they're mainly very very mediocre.

kind of agree with that, but then i don't really dig any of those semi 'conscious' alt hip hop guys from the mid to late 90s

Not that familiar with their discography, but saw them live and that was pretty good.

AGREED.
That being said Tha Carter I had rad singles (never had the albums). Gillie da Kid was also apparently writing his lyrics back then though
I also don't like anything Jurassic 5 has done since Cut Chemist left (and agree about the fans tbh), which I'm pretty sure was after Power in Numbers. I like Quality Control more as well.
