RIP Magoo...........

Oh damn, I had a lot of jokes for this man as a youth but it wasn't about nothin. RIP and wish his fam all the best. Life is short as hell, peace to everyone on this site and planet rn.
 
RIP Magoo. I was one of the only people in my crew who respected him and his flow. People hated because of the voice and the Q-Tip comparison but the lyricism was what I paid attention to. Timbaland had some silly concepts on fire beats but Magoo always seemed to sprinkle some word play and metaphors in even the pop-ist of tracks. Just had to listen.

Ahhh you know what? I never heard that but you're right. He does sound kind of like Tip but without the shit that made TIP and Tribe cool. Plus I mean if we being honest Q TIP on those Tim beats back then.....probably doesn't have the same effect.

Yeah…this was always the rub I heard when he came out.

It’s what I thought immediately, however, since his style was so different it wasn’t a drawback for me.

I felt he fully played his position on the label.

Dude was one of the few, and I mean few, that could rap in the pocket of Timbaland’s beats.
