Turned over another year on Da Pocket Prophet. Yep, we're up to 1991. Geez, I've reached the Promised Land. My head's about to explode. Sad to think that we're now 17 years past now. Maybe that explains the grey in my sideburns. Check out just a sampling of the list I added to Da Prophet this weekend:Ice Cube Death Certificate

Listening again to Naughty By Nature, I'm impressed by Treach's skills as an emcee. Dude was dope as hell.
Crap, gotta get ready to go work. Guess I won't need the gold thong this morning as the Celtics are going to the Conference Finals and the Sox swept the Brewers.

You're right, Treach was tight, but after a couple of albums, he just couldn't decide what he wanted to be, thus losing his fanbase. And, my favorite Geto Boy is Bushwick, too bad he's trying gospel rap these days. I just don't think he'll get that core audience that T-Bone and The Grits have, maybe Gospel Gangstas though. He needs to come back to the darkside, that's when he's lyrically at his best.
Your predictions of what happens to Bushwick and Treach are startling.
Remember, I only know what I know up to 1991. You need to check out The Independent Leaders--they're first record from 1989.
