I’m from London and hardly anyone around here seems to know who Slum Village are.
how old are you? they were big in the 90s.
^^ Big in the 90’s? Where??? They were never big, and the only time they had some modest success was in the early 2000’s.
^^^sucks Detroit dick
That recent single “Forever” is deep! Looking forward to the new album…
can’t wait for the new york show!
No Elzhi? Boooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
ya cosign, without Elzhi not much point to going unless they are opening for someone else. I remember at rock the bells 09 outside detroit, they were complaining that they were big elsewhere but not so much in their hometown, they had a couple good albums in early 2000’s but were not as good as the roots or little brother.
THEY HATE ON SLUM VILLAGE CUZ THERE LEGENDS… I LOVE THERE MUSIC
STOP LYING SLUM VILLAGE IS WHAT NEW YORK WISH THEY WAS, IN HIP HOP
Elzhi is my man! Hands down he’s a great artist!
I need to know where all these Elzhi nut huggers came from? SLUM VILLAGE was Dope b4 Elzhi, Dope with Elzhi and Dope without Elzhi, point blank period! There last album Villa Manifesto was the shit, Both DIRTY SLUMS mixtapes were fire! and if the new single FOREVER is any indication this new album EVOLUTION is about to make you lame fucks tuck ya whole summer in! Elzhi did not create Slum Village, T3,Baatin and Dilla did, It’s T3’s fucking group to do whatever he feels like with it. So Let El do El and let Slum do Slum, I’m tired of hearing the homo ass cry’s of you fake SV fans! Let the music speak for it self! and if I ever hear one of you Fake Fucks say something like aint no Slum without El, I’ll personally SMACK FIRE Out That Ass!! Peace.
