5.0 out of 5 stars
illadelph's finest, September 9, 2005
This review is from: No Goats No Glory (Audio CD)
Best lyrics of any rap group period. most creative, thoughout rhymes that actually meant something, whether is was burning right wing conservatives, stomping dumb bigots, or simply blazing to start the day. "No Goats, No Glory" may not have been the "theme album" that their 1st - "Tricks of The Shade" was...but it was a better showcase of the band behind them, that made them the best live rap group I have ever seen. I grew up in Philly at the time when the Goats and the Roots were just breaking ground, and used to see them at clubs like Doc Watsons and the Trocadero, great period to be living in philly. Goats are still my favorite rap group, and they only made 2 albums. If you can find it...1 of the 2 MC's - MADD Max...released an album with his own band "Incognegro" - self titled album, it is my favorite rap album of all time. can't say enough about these guys. The Goats ARE hardcore rap.
p.s. to the guy from Kansas City who gave this 1 star...your comments make no sense.

A Must add to your 90's Collection!!!, February 18, 2010
Now that I have extra money in my life I am expanding my music collection.....especially from the 90's. This is a must have in your collection, and it's very unfortunate that this group was shunned by the radio stations because of their edgy lyrics (despite the crap we hear nowadays)!
I had the pleasure of hanging with Pat Swayzak (god I hope I spelled that right) back in 89' up in Allentown gettin' in trouble and listening to him spew his lyrics walkin' back from 'Daves' house late at night. Even then I knew he had a great future ahead of him..... just the times weren't ready for them, I guess! Oh, they had their following, but if they hit the market today they would freakin' blow up ova here!!!
I guess the point is, being a white boy with a really bad 'Billy Ray Cirus' mullet and listening mainly to hair bands at that time, Pat opened my eyes to not only a new and funky-ass sound...... but also to the social realities that were not being brought to the attention of the average 'MTV' listener at that time. Hell, he was a walkin' CNN to people that listened, but what makes money to the record labels is all that mattered in those days!
Pat..... I'm sure you'll pop on here and read this someday! It's your boy Eddie.......... now get back up and kick some asss, will ya! The world is ready for the remixes of 'Not Your Typical American' & 'Wake and Bake'. I even remember sitting in your apartment on 15th listening to you sing "Wake & Bake" for the first time and watching you put the lyrics together..... after Jon Jon just stopped by of course (wink!) ............................. The world is Ready for 'The Goats' once again!!!
