On some real shit…. Was Slum Village EVER a group? Starting with their first album, J-Dilla was the most lyrical and put forth most of the effort. The album came off as a favor he did for his boys and less as a group album. The lyrics from the other point blank SUCKED.

Since ElZHI joined, their lyrics have improved. Minimally. Elzhi can spit. But once J-Dilla left the fold it wasn’t the same. Sure…. Black Milk had some fire on the production, but he is definitely NOT J-DILLA.

This will probably hurt T-3 the most. He just doesn’t have the lyrical dexterity to hold himself up. He is the “Rapper Big Pooh” of the group. With this latest move, he’s definitely D.O.A.

Elzhi is a little different. I never really considered him a full force stand in to replace other people in the group. And since he can spit, he will probably go on to make a decent impact (decent as in UNDERGROUND).

To me, J-Dilla was and will always be the only true member of SLUM VILLAGE. All of the other cats just couldn’t measure up (Elzhi included). To me this group was dead when Dilla left. I barely gave them a listen. And now? We’ll barely even remember them.

first off…T3 is the only founding member of SlumVillage…Alot ppl are commenting on some shit they no nothing about….El was invited into slum village,and if he wasn’t ppl woudnt have know who he is…Its taken years for ppl to catch up to what slum was doing years ago…Everyone is entitled to there own opinion about whos’ more lyrical but, to me they are both dope,its like comparing apples and oranges they both have different styles and ways of getting there point across….If ppl were really feeling el like they say they are,his solo project would have sold more than 3000 copies!!!

Its Kind of Funny that the SlumVillage Album is dropping July27th and all this Stuff Popping Up. I Smell a Publicity Stunt

God bless TRUE hip hop. wtf!!

That’s unfortunate. T3 is the most unluckiest emcee in the game. It ain’t all over, because he really does have talent, though that ain’t the popular thing to say. El will do fine whichever direction he decides to go.

SV will be widely talked about and possibly studied in years to come. They never compromised themselves but, instead, made better music. True fans know this, even when Dilla left & Baatin was kicked out to get himself together. It ain’t about just one person, Dilla-dikk ridaz!! His attributes would have never seen the light had it not been for him and T3 forming the group way back when. Over time, all of the members got better & better with their craft, but hip-hop, black music, AND music found a way to blacklist ALL of them. The industry, itself, was their worst enemy, and we, as fans, failed to support what they were doing as a collective. All that came to a head when 10 died two weeks after Michael Jackson did. Instead of condolences, people either chose to ignore it or was still R.I.P.n’ Dilla as if 10 didn’t matter. And when T3 & eLZhi were droppin’ music, nobody had anything to say. Nobody said anything in the magazines. No one mentioned anything in the editorials. None of the music stations gave mentioned to any Slum Village news. ?uestlove even admitted that he held back about telling the world how dope this tandem was.

The ONLY way to make this isht right to these brothas (T3, Dilla, Baatin, eLZhi & Illa J) is to buy their music, demand the radio stations play their music, don’t buy bootleg SV, and demand promoters to book them. Nuff said.
