Slug vs. Sage Francis

YouTube · Post by **Philaflava** » Thu Aug 02, 2007 7:06 am

Both good guys and one almost died, so I wouldn't feel right if I didn't put Sluggo in one of these before God starts knockin on his door again.

they both talk about relationships far too much for my tastes, but Slug is more consistent by far and his swag is superior.

couldn't get through the last sage album even once.

Sage does things I don't understand, he makes music that sucks ALOT of times. I've never heard a slug album or even song for that matter that I at least couldn't stomach. I think the NonProphets album is the best thing Sage Francis will ever be a part of in hiphop while i think Slug gets better and takes risk that pay off more of the time.

ALSO SLUG HAS SUPERIOR BOARDING SKILLS!

i loved atmosphere (nh) when i first discovered them when overcast dropped, when no teenie boppers ever herd of em. i was like...holy shit, these dudes are taking the hiero cd out my player...that was around 1999. Then i met sage in 2000 at lupos (when i went to see anticon) and got into his shit (nh) haha

i bought all their cds, went to many atmosphere/sage shows until about 2004-05 due to the fact atmosphere started getting a little eh...and sage kept on sounding like sage and still sounds like his first cd

at rock the bells i watched a little of the sage set just cause hes great live, i didnt even see felt, my girl was like...lets go to the main stage.

now i dont check for either of them dudes.

they are both great artists and i have respect for both of them but...i dunno, they tie for me

i didnt vote.

:sluggo:

Both are great live, both have great recorded material, and I don't listen to either all that much anymore (DIPSET!). I've listened to Sage way more, and I like his best stuff more than I do slugs. Voted Sage.

sage has more talent, no doubt. but his last album is mediocre.
was allways into atmosphere, damn, i remember myself back in the days. haha, these guys have a lot of fans here.

vote: Slug. (because of the new SCBSN 9)

well, I enjoy Hope more than anything Slug's released but Sage's solo work does nothing for me. On the other hand, Slug makes me laugh online, is pretty consistent and I think dude hasn't peaked yet (no drugs).

Vote: Slug

EDIT: post made me go back and listen to Lucy Ford for the first time in years. Better than I remember it minus a couple of glaring WTF moments.

Slug......because he remembers me.

Sage easily.

CasOne · Post by **CasOne** » Thu Aug 02, 2007 11:03 am

slug-because i've listned to him since industrial warfare,and he's a better rapper.

sage knows karate though and can write good..but that last album poop.

do tell, its still only 1999 in ireland

GM Dizzy Skillespie · Post by **GM Dizzy Skillespie** » Thu Aug 02, 2007 1:07 pm

actually i'm starting to think Gloss is referring to the bridge collapsing.
although, I don't even think slug is in minneapolis right now... he's probably out paying the dues

Slug because I rocked the fuck out of Overcast and Lucy Ford and would still check for a new Atmosphere record. Sage seems a little smarter (has more to say) but he's too all over the place and often picks shitty beats.

richard lamplighter · Post by **richard lamplighter** » Thu Aug 02, 2007 3:25 pm

sage easily.

i've never really listened to anything atmosphere has done, & saw some of the felt show at RTB, which totally corroborated my avoidance. i think i used to play woman with the tattooed hands some when i was a teenager.

the only sage shit i own/have heard is the makeshift patriot thing & non prophets, both of which are top notch. & a few random tracks here & there. his solos seem uneven or whatever, but the best of sage puts him over the top.

arlene · Post by **arlene** » Thu Aug 02, 2007 3:31 pm

dunno. used to really love both of em a lot.
now im kinda meh about rap in general so ill go with sage cuz hes consistently nicer.

ape9 · Post by **ape9** » Thu Aug 02, 2007 3:34 pm

I like both but sages new album SUCKED BALLZ to the 10power!!

I like slug for his swagger flow

and Sage for his writting skills and themes

But slugs albums are more consisant with good songs...

SLUG!!
