^My bad too.
Hard to catch him say, only on "A Purple Rose From Cairo"
Always thought it was some kind of pirate persona.
Thanks for the info.

not to be too big a dick but whoever wrote that song title got it wrong too should be "Cairo" like the capital of Egypt.Quote:

check the story synopsis
In 1930s New Jersey, a movie character walks off the screen and into the real world.
Nah, man. You're droppin gems. I didn't know of any of this stuff you've been posting. It makes things even more interesting.Quote:

Yo homiez. I'm a big Holocaust fan. I lost interest in hip hop many years ago but I still follow Holocaust and buy his releases, and have continued to listen to him regularly even through the years where I wasn't really listening to hip hop. He has especially become a regular "go to" lately on my i-pod, when I'm not sure what to listen to.
Just wondering if I'm missing any releases. I've got...
-The 2 Warcloud albums
-The BSBD album
-The American Poets album
-The 2 fairly recent Holocaust/Robot Tank albums
I think I've also got a Pro the Leader and Da Monstar Mob album, but I never bump them as I'm really not interested in any of those other guys.
Are there any other albums or compilations which feature mostly Holocaust? I know there are shitloads of tracks out there that aren't on the albums I mentioned. Has anybody thrown together any good readily available compilations of those tracks?
I really like just listening to him. Like all the shit with groups and stuff doesn't interest me so much. Even with the American Poets album I only ever listen to the edit someone did which isolates all the Holocaust verses. I never listen to the full album with all the other guys.

All except for Warcloud he always makes me feel challenged, or excited or blown away like I did in the early days.
Pretty similar to what TremblingEagle said, really. Just became totally uninteresting and largely cliche. I just haven't found any rapper whose come out since Immortal Technique remotely interesting. He was the last one who had some appeal for me.Quote:

Then all the faggots trying to sound smart and deep. All the faggots trying to be really clever with faggy similies and gay wordplay and shit...
lolz. I could go on forever. I really don't give a shit. I haven't even thought about any of this shit in so many years. I gave up on hip hop a long, long time ago, and put it to rest many years ago.
Not to say I don't still check out the odd album by established artists though. I've actually been rather enjoying that last U-God album after dl'ing it on a whim.
I agree with everything you said. There aren't many artists that go entirely out of the box and set themselves apart from what everyone else is doing, and it can get repetitive and stale. Speaking of the U-God album though, Journey with Kool Keith is an absolute gem from that album, but has been severely overlooked.Quote:

We used to have a forum years ago ran by some European guys where we just talked Hollow, trade verses and edited out and compiled tracks.Quote:

btw this track I had been missing for awhile
http://www2.zshares.net/e0pvvasnt9kq
http://www1.zippyshare.com/v/3089683/file.html
(forgot how shitty zshare is now)
It's off the Bomshot solo album "Abomination"
shitty 128kb mp3 rip and my poor editing to get Bomshot off of it
but its got a haunting Warcloud I been looking for for awhile
You guys heard this one before?
^"Strange Things Happened The Moment Jesus Died"^
"The Devils Of Kimon Mixtape"Quote:

There are loads of tracks out there like you say
But the majority of them are on here, this is pretty much what you're after.
"The Warghost Album Robot Tank Solo "
"Warghost Mixtape" has a lot of his unrealesed verses over Wu-Beats
A few gems in there.
I think everyone has mentioned everything availiable.
I hear you though....Holocaust has more to offer than most
And more than most even realize.
Ever since The BSBD album he has been pretty alone in his ability.
As if from another plane so to speak and therefor
Only a handful can effectively be on a track with him.
I've been working on a Holo-Solo CD for a good while
I'll throw you a copy when it's done if you like.
I know right? gives me chillsQuote:

I been thinking about starting up a Warcloud fan site/forum for sometime to replace the old one, I don't know anything about making and running a site anybody got any advice? Definitely want to get a Warcloud only lyric-Wiki going. as a fan I feel I kind of owe it to him to get the stuff out there and curate it.
Yeah I'd be into that. Cheers mate.Quote:

But if you want true 90s Hip-Hop in 2013 then you better listen to foreign Hip-Hop, because a lot of them have do use that 90s Wu-Tang East Coast sound in their songs.
WE WHISPER DEAD HORSE KiD, GO FOR A WALK!
DrChainsawHands on youtube posts the nice rare tracks...
From the Jigsaw Puzzle?...
Beat on this one is vicious...
I believe this is from Jigsaw Puzzle, at least I haven't seen it on any other projects.
^Thanks not heard that, sounds like this is recorded 2005 onwards though. lol Shifter commented on that vid :)
Also has anyone got a pic of the Jigsaw puzzle cover, only seen it in youtube vids.
Dr. Chainsaw Hands strikes again.
Those snippets sound great!
An outtake of Bluntz Martiniz Girlz and Gunz I just found:
I recognise a lot of tracks on that Jigsaw upload, looks like it's probably a compilation than the actual album then? Especially as it's 2 discs.

^I know, that beat is crazy!
If the rumour is true and there were physical copies going around long beach a few years back, I can't believe this hasn't leaked yet...
If this is true, my anticipation for this album has skyrocketed! :DQuote:

Good looking out on this, sound quality on some of these tracks are better then what I got. i dig some of these intro's as well.Quote:

Holo's Mic Stance is unwell.
Never even bothered asking why this thread was removed From The Wu-Chamber
I guess here's my answer :
So, off the top....just for you Art :Quote:

I think you should get it by now?
I mean there's even a track called : Warcloud ~ Lost Soldier Of Wu-Tang
Hahaha not that it's a big deal to me.
I just thought you should know....you know what with you being a Mod and all.
