I've always love Monch's complex and aware lyrics; Desire is a great example of this. His unique flow is endlessly satisfying to listen to, check Simon Says;
Appropriately, he was sued for using an unauthorised sample from the film Godzilla for this record; this track is a monster. I think this was his first single 'by his ones'; Desire was from 2007's Internal Affairs album, and has got the sound of an instant classic about it. These have to be some of my favourite rap lyrics of recent years.
"Still get it poppin' without artist & repertoire, 'cause Monch is a monarch minus the A&R..."
Pharoahe Monch will apparently release his third solo album W.A.R. (Let My People Go) this year. He reckons it'll be a "throwback to '93 & '94 hip-hop'. Sounds good.
