(5 out of 5 stars)
"Best lyrics of any rap group period. most creative, thoughout rhymes that actually meant something, whether is was burning right wing conservatives, stomping dumb bigots, or simply blazing to start the day. "No Goats, No Glory" may not have been the "theme album" that their 1st - "Tricks of The Shade" was...but it was a better showcase of the band behind them, that made them the best live rap group I have ever seen. I grew up in Philly at the time when the Goats and the Roots were just breaking ground, and used to see them at clubs like Doc Watsons and the Trocadero, great period to be living in philly. Goats are still my favorite rap group, and they only made 2 albums. If you can find it...1 of the 2 MC's - MADD Max...released an album with his own band "Incognegro" - self titled album, it is my favorite rap album of all time. can't say enough about these guys. The Goats ARE hardcore rap.
p.s. to the guy from Kansas City who gave this 1 star...your comments make no sense."
