roscoegino Says:

Sep 14, 2008 - one of the few funk pioneers to make lyrics as important as the groove. as drugged up as he was, his message was mostly positive and unashamedly relevant.

Alexltavares Says:

Sep 14, 2008 - The social commentary and relevance of the lyrics here are stunningly profound. Some Socrates type philosopy in those lyrics.

pennman82 Says:

Nov 10, 2008 - Damn, I always wondered where De La got that sample from. I'm disappointed in myself for not having this album.

PATYPUS3 Says:

Nov 10, 2008 - Although he isn't mentioned in same breath as Dylan, I think that Sly's lyrics are right up there with him. Like Dylan, his lyrical content consisted of observations of society that where cryptic yet colorful and thought provoking.

Alexltavares Says:

Jun 20, 2009 - Well said. In my opinion, the most perfect example of Sly being hip-hop before hip-hop is "Thank you for talking to me Aftrica" from Riot. The beat is just slowed down, basic, and hypnotic. Sly's flow is a rappin style.

harlem146st Says:

Jul 29, 2009 - Demise? What demise? He still writes and records songs in san francisco. And I saw him in Vegas in 07' at the flamigo.
