Sage Francis

I was really impressed with PErsonal Journals, but after downloading some of his earlier work, now I am REALLY impressed by Sage.

The song "Makeshift Patriot" is so powerful I had to listen to it like 5 times.

Sage Francis is amazing. Do you still not like his flow? I remember putting him in my top 5 MC list, and you disagreed because you didn't like his flow. I know his flow isn't the greatest, but it's not bad at all. Sage has been a legend for a while now, and even though he didn't live up to his expectations (nobody could have. People were saying he was the "white" Rakim) with Personal Journals, it was still a great album. All of the Sick of... series is classic and the Non-Prophets albums was a lot better than I expected and was actually better than Personal Journals from top to bottom.

He's growing on me; but i still think that his flow on Personal Journals isn't all that great.

But his earlier stuff is great. I love the "Rapping With Apathy" track that's just him and Apathy freestyling back and forth for like 8 minutes

Ah yes, over the Let's Ride instrumental. Excellent choice EB, one of my favorites as well.

As a suggestion, check out the Non-Prophets album. I really think you'd like it.

Sage was legendary for his freestyle ability. Winning scribble and countless other freestyle competitions. I'm so happy that most of the best one's are available on the Sick of... series.

From what i've heard of Sage i really like. I've only heard "Makeshift Patriot" "Narcissist" and "Broken Wings" but they are all great. For me its just a bonus to be able to understand an MC, most of the shit out there nowadays speak a different language to me.
