Tical 2000: Judgement Day

First of, let me ask a question: what you people talking about when you rate this CD 3-stars or below? This album is much way underestimated.

Listen! I think all of you who give this album bad marks are one-track-minded peoples just like Sally in Diamond D. joint because you expected to see a '36 chambers' kinda LP from the Mef. But let me ask another question: what the hell is gonna happen to hip hop if ain't nobody try to make something new? Answer me please. This album is ill: just listen to 'Dangerous grounds', the Left Eye collabo 'Cradle rock' or 'Spazzola'.

You wrote there's too many skits on the album. And what's the problem with that? I think Ed Lover skit is mad and Chris Rock skit is ill... so, what you talking about? I don't feel you.

I think the whole structure of the album is ill: Pre-Millennium, space-type, Satanic, Apocalyptic, hardcore, underground .... And who the hell was gonna make it? No doubt, it was Mef aka The Ticallion Stallion. I think, y'all just can't feel it 'though this album is mad ill from beginning to end. You mad 'cause Mef made collabos with Janet Jackson, Donald Trump and D'Angelo? Eff y'all! It's still phat!

And about the productions: rugged -n- raw! Just think about 'Perfect world' (which is a breath-takingly shocking Satanic Apocallyptic Next-Millennium [or next-next-millennium] Epic), 'Judgement day', 'Cradle rock' (damn! that's off the meter!), 'Dangerous grounds' (Street rips it...).

Then another jewels: 'Retro Godfather' which bring you back to the origins, the roots with a song like we was in a late 70s or the early 80s. 'Party crusher' which is like a early 80s smoothe party joint. 'Break ups to make ups' which is a laid-back type of joint with a diss to the ex-es. 'Spazzola' with its simple piano and beat based music: very raw.

So, again: what was y'all peoples talking about when you underesttimated this LP? You was dreaming or sleeping on it? Eff it! Y'all people is intolerant and simple-minded. I only got sorry for y'all.

You must understand something: hip hop is about progress.

Let me ask some questions: what if Common ain't step up the scene while the West is overwhelmed by that gangsta image? What if Tha 'Liks ain't make hits low down the underground of the West? What if N.W.A. ain't slow down the beats with 'Always into sometin'? What if Nas ain't drop 'Illmatic' during that G-funk ruled period? What if Ras Kass ain't make no 'Soul on ice'? And what if Sticky ain't broke up with the Onyx and ain't make BlackTrash? Tell me... So???

In addition: this CD is ill! But you have to stay away from that '36 chambers' ('though that's a classic)-thing... you know? Or not?

Nevermind!

One thing: Mef ain't no mainstream! He was the one who protested against 'Gravel pit' being too mainstream. (Remember that MTV interview).

At the end: I still got respect for Mef from shoulder to shoulder and that's just IT!

Told: 4.5-stars.

One!
