I agree, while TLB isn't as good as speakerboxxx, you can probably throw it on during an acid trip just to set the tone. Or you could maybe even use it to get laid. But all kidding aside, there were some parts I really did like, even though Andre wasn't rapping very much, Happy Valentine's Day has an incredible beat, Hey Ya sounds like something the Beach Boys would sing if they were on crack, and Behold a Lady is also very nice.
Kotix is actually a group. Not trying to call you out or anything, but you also might have seen one doing a solo performance. Dope underground lable here in Houston is Beat Farm. I'm probably in the same boat as JamesC. If it sounds good to me, I'll add it to my play list. Any of you or know of anyone who might be down for an MC battle here in Houston? I might be doing a colab with a friend of mine from NY for an MC tournament. He's doing east and west coast contests right now. I know we have talent out here besides just "dirty south" kind of stuff. If I can get enough MC's interested and down, I'll go ahead and put one together.
