If I wasn’t so knee-deep in NYC nonsense this week I might would mos def fux with this event. If you are in Phillytown then fall through and holler at Black Thought for me.
215mag has all the details…

still my favorite roots album – back before scott storch had the yacht and lil kim’s herpes and the bankruptcy – he was a nerdy jewish kid in hebrew school ripping up a keyboard with the roots crew. so damn official. on the strenth if he stayed with them it would have been sum epic.

True’s know about ‘Organix’. I went on a mission to find that shit bout 10 years ago. Found it in some hole in the wall in Santa Monica.
is “clones” on that next tier of greatest posse cut ever…. you know…in that group right outside of “the symphony”?
they never play “clones” the way the record sounds..which is a shame because it would sound so crazy wth the instruments and the drums…
seen the roots perform a bunch of times… black thought is nice…
jaguar wright is dope…jazzyfatnatees were good too…
never saw them with malik b and I think they lost something when they went to the one mc format…
their guitar player is the first dude I saw in the modern era wear nut hugging pants at a “hip hop event”…
we used to sit in the back….pound heineken and just snap on the band members….especially dude with the sleeveless hoodie..
Anybody have a word on what actually happened to Malik B? Did he end up in the hip hop netherworld, like Jarobi?
Sleeveless hoodie dude stayed chewing on branches or african teeth cleaner bark or something…
Nah Malik had some personal demons he been dealing with. I did a show wit Malik B in like 97′ and he was on point, but afterward went looking for that “water”. Anyways Dallas I may try to make this jawn, I’ll be playing Illadel tough this week, then in NY this weekend. I’ll hit you up 2 see if anything popping!!

Damn, I always hoped those were just rumors…sad.
