One thing is for sure though - the album cover is so ugly, outdated and cheap looking!

I mean I just heard about the dude today and sharing what Iām learning. Iām not clutching my pearls about a stray word. Iām seeing lyrics like this:
āShoulda know seh Capleton bun battyman
You should know that Capleton burns queers
āDem same fire apply to di lesbian
The same fire applies to lesbians
āSeh mi bun everything from mi know seh dem gay
Say, I burn everything as long as I know that theyāre gay
āAll boogaman and sodemites fi get killed
All queers and sodomites should be killedā
Thatās not the same as Mobb Deep or Eminem, to me. but whatever. If you all knew about this and are like āthatās what the dude singsā or donāt want to judge him or his culture or whatever, thatās fine with me. Iām not trying to organize a boycott. I just donāt like it so this album is a pass for me.

It's not going to be him. It seems a large leap to give this a pass and to put a ban on Nas lol

Having a hard time imagining them justifying why Play is worth having. So hope that either they redo The Infamous, which would be silly, or that Storf missed Lord Finesse maybe?
Maybe I should go back to hoping it's the wrong year and they somehow got Organized Konfusion and it will be their best pick yet? Haha.
Edit: oh yeah I think someone guessed that on reddit too, nevermind.

I donāt really follow the clues that closely on a monthly basis but Iām hoping that maybe the number clues mean different things for the different tracks. Not sure how often that happens but hoping the 1 means first album

It's possible that could be the case, but typically when Storf gives out clues for multiple tracks, they tend to be the same type of clue. So when he gave RHH the number "1" he gave Classics "7." We've since determined the "7" is the number of members in the band at the time of the album's release, therefore that would mean RHH is a solo artist.

Thatās a bummer, man
It's not Skee Lo.
Yeah I remember watching MTV and Dr Dre was being questioned about homophobic lyrics and he straight up said he didnāt care about those people .
So whatās the front runner so I can stop sitting outside blasting Skee-Lo . FWIW its corny but I donāt hate it I would never spin it though.

I have absolutely no idea. There really isn't one.
This is the 1st time I can remember we were this stumped so close to the announcement

Doug E Fresh or some other artist I've never heard of with incredibly homophobic lyrics.
Cool.
Thatās out and out hate speech, and should be boycotted.

Someone pointed out on reddit that the 7 clue doesn't really fit with members in the band. It fits how many are pictured, but 8 members were in the band then, weren't they? At least according to the back of the jacket.
Larry Dodson - Vocals
Charles Allen - Trumpet
Harvey Henderson - Tenor
Winston Stewart - Keys/Synth
Lloyd Smith - Guitar
James Alexander - Bass
Michael Beard - Drums
Ralph MacDonald - Percussion
So maybe it has more to do with people pictured on the jacket?
Or maybe they are just not counting MacDonald since I don't see much mention of him with regard to the band, but he seems to have a full band credit on the sleeve.
