Debut album by Gang Starr affiliates Group Home. It has superb production by DJ Premier but Lil Dap and Melachi are kinda wack on the mic. Still, I say the production does enough to just make it a ****c IMO.

I'll say No but I'm pretty torn just because the rhymes are so average.

ps.

Does anyone else remember when Hash once said that the rhymes were better than Premo's production on this album:D It's ok hash I still wuv u.

Lmao of course,thats why nobody takes his opinion seriously anymore. They change daily like Whitney and Bobby's crave for the white.

I say no. The production is classic,but the rapping ruins it sooooo bad.

IMO the lyrics are pretty born. They play well with the lyrics. Serious Rap **** isn't bad.

EDIT: IMO the album also features alot of Premo's best production.

imo the lyrics don't negate the production at all. It's just kind of re-assuring knowing you're not really missing anything by focusing on the beats. Lil' Dap and Melachi are average at worst. Um... classic.

you assume i consider that classic. I don't. If something doesn't make me remember it in a good way, it isn't classic.

I've actually never heard it so I plead the 5th.

I won't vote out my ass like some people probably do.

Nor will I get it and decide in a day.

So, no vote from me.

It's not a classic due to the terrible lyricism. Classic production, not a classic album though.

oh and btw, BABY PA = BEST PREMO BEAT EVER!

What if Premo did happen to produce it? Would you like it then? Have you ever thought that maybe when someone does so much good ish, they can get away with crap like bad production? Premo is amazing - no argument there. The album's production is off the charts - yes. But saying you don't like the production of Guru because he isn't much of a DJ doesn't mean ish when stacked up against all of the wack lines Premo might throw out now and then. I'm not quoting lyrics, but maybe you are idolizing him a little too far.

Agreed on both counts. The production is great and all, but it's not enough to make up for the wackness that's known as Lil' Dap and Melachi the Nutcracker. That's not to say that they don't have their moments, but they're mostly just background noise as you concentrate on the fire that Premo gave them for their album. As for "Serious Rap ****", I thought Guru did a decent job on the beat and I don't mind the song at all. It gets way too much hate.
