Skinnyman - Council State of Mind (REVISTED)

[Afroman]

 

I was shuffling through spotify in tte whip the other night. This album is a gem you know.

I remember when this dropped back then. It had its underground acclaim, but I didn't pay too much attention to it at the time. Apart from  a few songs.  

Nice selection of beats, relatable subject matter from a uk perspective.

Favourite songs 

1. No Big Thing

2. I'll be Surprised

3. Council state of mind 

I can't recall a ukhh album that is worthy of the HH classic approval.This one is definitely up there.

I cant listen to this album casually. It proper sends me back in time...an it invokes so much feelings

Different type of struggle 

[The Somalian]

Bape I disagree Skinnyman music is amazing its real life, Listen to his words I am not expecting catchy songs from Skinny, I am expected to hear some real talk from him and he delivers for me personally. Each to their own

I wasn't his biggest fan back in the day but I remember hearing this on one SK Vibemakers mix

2nd verse won me over

 

[Afroman]

 

Good interview

[Da Luv Doc]

Travesty that Charlie Sloth became bigger than him, even if it's not through being an mc.

[Afroman]

Hmmm. 

Skinny was never after mainstream success. 

 

Charlie did and failed. Charlie will always be remembered as a radio Dj than a rapper.

shit was horrible then and is even worse now

Nothing wrong with that. Tastes vary.

I  dont think most of these trap uk artist would have content which we would reflect on like skinny's 10 years down the line.
