Pharoah Monche
Quote from: Reginald Hudlin
I don't look for Marvel or DC to give me the true satisfaction of what black comics can be any more than I look to Hollywood studios to deliver what black cinema can be.

Heh...I just made a Pharaoh Monche channel for my Pandora.

There is just so much clever inventive stuff just on W.A.R. alone and I have been a fan of his since Soundbombing 2.

A lot of people don't realize that he's been around for quite some time. Before the solo albums he was one half of Organized Konfusion. Their second album Stress: The Extinction Agenda is what really made me a fan.

I would go for Kweli, but I've not listened to enough Monch to be informed. Need to sort that out.

Cheers. Those were the main two I knew of his (plus the song with Mos Def and Nate Dogg). Both great tunes. ;D
