How is this Man not mentioned with the Greats in HipHop.

Michael P

You already know

P-Double

I know, right? It's a travesty.

Danny Truth Magnified

Same reason barely anyone mentions Queen Latifah or Brother J of X Clan. Their lyrics made a large amount of people uncomfortable.

P-Double

@Danny Truth Magnifiedย  Absolutely - couldn't agree more. That's exactly why these sorts of MCs don't get the credit they deserve. To The East Blackwards is such an overlooked LP.

P-Double

@Danny Truth Magnifiedย  I get the feeling that's why a lot of DOOM fans don't mention the Zev Love X or refer to KMD's music very often, almost as if that stuff didn't exist or isn't worth any attention. Someone I know referred to Zev Love X as 'KMD-era DOOM' recently...๐Ÿ˜’
