The Goats- Tricks of the Shade

[1spTV]

to this day, one of the best album concept ever, plus all the lyrics are printed, which helps when english is not your first language...lucky they had do the digs dug video on mtv, otherwise i don't think i would have ever heard them...mtv had the guts to play them, it would never happens today..

[XCisor]

saw them in lakota, bristol, UK in the early 90's. brilliant band. someone said that their record company fucked up as they didn't know how to market them correctly hence why they didn't become as commercially successful as they should have.

"check it out hangerhead, it's the drive by bumper cars but i don't see mams anywhere. Fuck mams. this ride looks hershy hawkins hippety hoppety hype, lets get on!!"

genius!

"it's all old news, but I'm afraid you can't find it/it's news you lose, so I choose to rewind it"

[JoeyClimax]

Don't let anyone lose out. Spread the sound far and motherfucking wide.

[PerignonPop]

About the best live hip-hop act I probably ever got to see during that period.

Absolutely slamming. Masta Ace ran them close, but they're in fine company. No question. Dope.

[barfly14]

the guy who did the one dislike has no dick

[lazyaz420]

"Columbus destroyed more Indians than Hitler killed Jews but on his birthday you get sales on shoes".........Fuckin Clasic.....Fucked up....but Clasic!!!!

[marselus88]

[slevels1]

They had a song where the chorus went "r u down with the goats , every body got throats" what was it called, anyway , Reminds me of wakin up crackin OE and smokin lime green, sittin on the porch with everybody in the summer jockin all the college girls, good vibe , just like a del song

[vansbrand]

All hail the 90´s...

[dooley169]

i still have the cd.. awsome

[westie420uk]

@dooley169 cd? i have it on 12"!

[MarvinLeeAday69]

haha no this is not del, but he is also a very ill emcee. The Goats where so bomb, lyrically untouchable, and their flow was unstoppable

[Electrorules]

The good old days, when HipHop was real. Could be released now and it would still be current social commentary.

NO GOATS . NO GLORY .

[coughlintm]

no this is not Del.

[MrGnaes]

too funky.....

[adrunkcalledotis]

...after I listened to this,

I was Black.

[illregular60]

hahahahaha damn your comment cracked me the fuck up

[rareluck]

Damn this is some kickass old shit!!!

[adman09]

So apt now

[booahss]

[Urbakal]

Thanks for posting - one of the best albums of all time and hard to get hold of now

[fawnknudsen]

Is that Del?

[LowInertia]

Really great band!

DOPE!

[verdun1916]

Dieses Album habe ich mir 1993 gekauft - da war ich 16 Jahre alt. "Tricks of the shade" war schon damals eines der besten Rap-Alben, die ich kannte - es hat auch Heute - nach nunmehr 16 Jahren - nichts an Qualität verloren! Ein zeitloses Rap-Album, voll von pointierter Kritik und berechtigten Anklagen, wie es es seitdem nicht mehr gegeben hat!

[swanzzy]

agreed,way ahead of their time!am from glasgow scotland,me and my mates were rite in2 them,still gets played regularly in ma motor

[chrisman1444]

wtf happend to them?

[STOBIEPOLL]

[BeatDefectors]

@drchoc22

come check us out, BEATDEFECTORS. Gotta say these guys were a M_A_J_O_R influence in my evolution as an emcee/producer. I think after I saw them live (yrs ago) it made music making seem "attainable".

[anfearbart]

100% agree with all the comments here. these guys were way ahead of their time. no commercial shit here just very clever guys telling it like it is

[Leibinz]

I was thinking the same thing, except I recall at the time Rage Against the Machine were absolutely huge and Paris (not Hilton but the Bush Killa one). Both very political.

[LibertiesDefender]

I can't beleive anyone on youtube has even heard of this, let alone post it. This is my personal fav from the Goats. It's got my favorite lyric of all time. Columbus distroyed more indians than Hitler killed Jews but on his birthday you gat sales on shoes.

[tuculosacallama1]

dope!

[mouthfullofshit]

yo i remember the goats, back in high school, say 92 ish??? i later met a dude said his name was D-rek and that he was in the goats. it was weird cuz he was workin in a head shop in phoenix!! word.

[SeattleWeekly]

Hell Yeah!
