- From Let the Record Show episode 42, @rjdtoob explains why Organized Konfusion's "Stress: The Extinction Agenda" is one of his favorite albums of all time. He says that he particularly enjoys @PharoaheMonchtv and Prince Po's command of language and vocabulary. Watch the full episode here: • Let the Record Show Ep...
Yes. This album, and Freestyle Fellowship's Innercity Griots. Both of those albums are unheralded and are on a technical rhyming level that no one, even to this day, are capable of touching. Freestyle Fellowship needs more love on this channel btw.
Add Let The Rhythm Hit Em and 93 Til Infinity.
Word!
@@DjTIMEJD Agreed.
Freestyle Fellowship reached a level of lyricism that no one has surpassed yet... and inspired or influenced a lot of "chopping" MCs... a whole generation of freestylers and choppers, myself included... shout out the whole Project Blowed and Good Life... AND... Bone Thugs... Twista... Crucial Conflict... Tech Nyne... I can't say for sure that they were directly influenced, but Freestyle Fellowship came before all of them, that's for sure! #100
"Bring It On" is one of the greatest rap songs ever.
Why Organized Konfusion
That song embodies soo many rap styles into one. This album is a great....timeless
For those that know about Columbus Ohio Hip Hop in the 90s, Organized Konfusion is what we inspired to be like. So RJ is connected to this album in a deeper way.
Pharaohe Monch is nuts, I love his work! One of the finest and most distinctive MC's, for sure.
One of my favorite albums of all time
Folks need to stop sleeping on Prince Po.
Yep, fully agree with you on that. A totally underrated emcee.
Everyone talks about how they’re this criminally underrated group, but then only talk about Monche, and criminally underrate Prince Po. I’ve grown to like his verse on “Bring it On“ better than Monche’s. Not even mentioned in this.
@@TheColdrush22 💯💯💯💯💯
I’m telling you! Po’s solo projects, him with Tomc3, him and Oh No albums? Definitely are amazing! Monch is lyrical rhyme scheme emcee! Po is lyrical as well and can do the same with rhyme scheming. It’s just Monch is alittle better with rhyme scheming
Always love RJ’s enthusiasm for music and what he does
So great. I found it through Herbie Hancock’s Sextant because it was sampled on the title track, and those two are just geniuses
The Extinction Agenda is one of my favorite songs.Prince Po and Pharaohe Monch really delivered something special.
OK’s Stress the extinction agenda is a masterpiece from start to end!Without a doubt in my top 3 of ALL TIME,the other two on this day & moment would be OC Word Life & De Las 3 feet high & rising.They other 2 sometimes switch up but OKs sophomore is ALWAYS in my top 3 OAT!!
1994 was a great year hell yeah
@@LetTheRecordShowTV I edited Illmatic for 3feet high’ at the last moment lol but yeah 93/94 was along with ‘88/‘89 the two best two year runs for hip hop albums imo.So many bona fide hip hop classic LPs to choose from in those 4 years!
Imagine had that KMD dropped when it was supposed to. Would’ve fell right in line with what was coming out back then-but still stood out.
@@MrBmick79 Oh what,if ‘BL_CK B_ST_RDS’ was actually released back in ‘94 it would have been right up there with OKs ‘Stress:Extinction Agenda’,it would have probably been overlooked just like ‘Mr Hood’ was though but it’s still up there with my favourite albums ever since its 2001 belated release
Ima huge fan of the STRESS REMIX by LARGE PRO! Not to mention ORGANIZED are very underrated as MCS ! BTW RJ IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PRODUCERS! He makes creative GREAT MUSIC!
Apathy is a beast in tha studio!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💯
My old friend let me borrow this back in 1995 and never got the cd back. I still have it.
I’d be fuming if I was your friend as this cd is worth a pretty penny now as it’s quite rare. Check eBay to see the prices that they go for. Vinyl is even more expensive.
"Yo Po don't do dat!"
🔥
The Beatnuts were disappointed the J-Lo didn’t come to them to make that track instead of straight up biting.
MONCH IS A TECHNICIAN.
@RJD2 Peace! That work you did with Gabe Caruso... I humbly ask that you message buddy. It could manifest another dope album
This Album assaults you right out of the gate with how awesome it is.
Everyone sleeps on Prince Po. Hes equal to Pharoah
Organized Konfusion were like Epmd: dope rhymers and dope producers. 3 flawless albums .
Good comparison
"Somehow, Someway" People Would Argue With You About "The Equinox" Being A Let Down From The First Two Albums Though.....
@@fairplayterrific147 I saw what you did there....
Lyrically there is absolutely no comparison. As much as I love them to death, EPMD’s lyrics are mad basic.
@@TheColdrush22 i hear what you sayin'. My comparison would be just because they both a duo rappin' & producin' . The flow and the lyrics complexion are obviously not the same.
So jealous that you have the vinyl.
F’sho
