"@AllAboutMusic yeah that I agree, but what I catch from his verse was that they own a disproportionate amount of things that our society consumes on the daily basis, besides the fact that they represent 0.2% of the population... But yeah, if he is blaming ONLY them, I disagree too."
"I don't think that it's anti$emitic to state facts... who are the owners of chatgpt, tiktok, meta, onlyf@ns, half of the corn industry, and the biggest bank on earth? One Be Lo said something that is public knowledge, each one can interpret that as one please"
"Yo! I just send you another rec, is from a rapper called Encore, he was affiliated with the Hieroglyphics. Mostly of the beats were made by Jake One and Vitamin D in 2004, so the album sounds a lot like the Gift of Gab debut solo album."
"@AllAboutMusic you're welcome! I don't know if you are familiar with him, but I send you as recommendation Kev Brown debut album. His production is dope, kinda remind me Pete Rock. The album also have some good features from Oddisee, Phonte and Raheem Devaughn."
"This album is a hidden gem! One be Lo is definitely one my favorites. Going a bit off topic: Roc Marci said to the fans that he gonna drop a collab album with Animoss, as a huge hermit and the recluse fan, I'm very excited to hear how that gonna sound."
"@AllAboutMusic for sure💯. I think it's also very dope the fact that he only worked with artists that he had a genuine relationship. I saw Apollo Brown post on Instagram that he reached out to Ka to do a collab album but Ka told him that he was a big fan of him but only worked with people who he had some friendship. Apollo said that the Ka's response made him admire him even more as an artist."
"I'm a huge Dilated fan, and I remember that when this album came out I hated it lol. But after a few more listenings this album grew on me a lot... this kinda production fits Evidence so well... the album he dropped this year been heavy in my rotation too."
"His most recent albums are even more dope on my opinion, he started to do some more introverted type songs over some drumless type beats that sound a lot like mcs from the lane of Mach-Hommy, Ka, Roc Marci..."
"@AllAboutMusic I saw a comment saying that on his last pop-up Ka said that the version that is on YouTube was meant to be the album, but him and Kev never found a label. It's very interesting to hear early Ka on some mobb deep type beats. I never heard the full album with the due attention, but I'm planning to rate real soon."
"Yo! Did you know that Ka released a album in 1998 with his friend? The album its called Nightbreed - A Long Time Coming. Charlemagne, who produced for CNN did some joints on the album.
The full album its on YouTube."
"@AllAboutMusic thanks! I'm gonna check out.
Far as solo catalog, I think only Masta Ace come close to Ka, Ghostface it's a close third, but he fell off so hard after 2010...
Far as groups go, I would put Gang Starr, Outkast and The Roots as my top 3."
"@AllAboutMusic yeah I used to think he was a Christian too, but I think he converted to Islam later in his life, on "a martyrs reward" he uses some samples from the movie "the message", he also at that time let his beard grow... he never said it explicitly, but I think he must had converted to islam after the "descendants of Cain" album."
"Nice review as always 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 how would you rank Ka discography compared to other rappers? Also, I think he was a Muslim, because on PWH he says "On God, I starve before chomping a chitlin""
"Man listen! Wait till you hear "The Thief Next to Jesus" its so impressive that a lotta of legendary rappers never released a full good album while Ka have a full discography of dope shit only."
"Theres a dope album from 2005 fully produced by Marco Polo. It's from a legendary battle rapper from Brooklyn called Pumpkinhead, you should check it out, have some dope songs on it. Its called "Orange Moon Over Brooklyn""
"🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 this might be the most underrated album of the century... everything about it it's perfect. On my opinion Ka have a top 3 discography of all time, I think you gonna love his next albums."
