Jedi Mind Tricks

Violent by Design was once one of my favorite hip-hop albums. Now it just sounds like a bunch of underground try-hard tough guys posturing about how tough and brutal they are without even a hint of self-awareness. Vinna Paz is absolutely obnoxious. The only saving grace is the production.

I don't really mind it, when I had gotten into them it was a little late and maybe a year or two before Army Of the Pharaohs got put together and I understood that you were just kind of 1-Upping each other with the kind of things they were saying. I really like Celph Titled just for the reason that he's silly like that. Vinny does seem a little try hard but he's got a really gritty voice that brings it together. Some of the subject matter they tackle is a bit more diverse than what a lot of other rappers were coming out at the time with although that was me in grade 10 and my collection of music wasn't quite as large as it was now. One of the biggest things that drew me towards them was their beats though.

Me too, mainly because everything else they released was extremely subpar
