Tuesday brings the long awaited release of a new Pharoahe Monch album, “Desire”. Pharoahe Monch, despite his troubles getting an awful lot of material released, both solo and as half of the groundbreaking Organized Konfusion in the 90s, is on the short list of emcees who are not Ghostface that I’ve seriously pondered the possibility of actually possessing the “greatest rapper alive” title Jay-Z is so fond of granting himself. He has maybe the best delivery of anybody out there, and a mindbending sense of lyricism (they’ll bury him with his SP-1200, fuck infinite, enseminate the earth now, take its virginity). Sean Combs was woefully unable to handle the lines he recently hired Pharoahe Monch to ghostwrite for him. If Pharoahe Monch was white, he would have been more popular and successful than Eminem. But he’s not.
