In my opinion, this album (along with a handful of others) got overshadowed by the frenzy of September 11th, 2001. Did we all forget that this had one of the illest party joints of the year? I sure as hell didn't! Music featured Erick Sermon's tailor-made funky craftwork as he dipped into some old Marvin Gaye and Curtis Mayfield records. The result? "Genius E Dub"! If you've never listened to the...

At the Black August show yesterday, I noticed DJ Scratch wasn’t at his usual spot behind the decks during the EPMD set, even though he performed earlier in the night. According to this interview with Scratch, Erick Sermon has been acting really funny lately. Hopefully, this gets resolved because EPMD without DJ Scratch is like [...]

The cuts that [...]

Words By Khalid Strickland “The most beautifullest thing in this world/is my notion for murderous poetry in motion.” Keith Murray wasn’t bullshittin’ when he spit this classic line on Erick Sermon’s “Hostile” in 1994. It really was a grimy, beautiful poem. Murray’s extraterrestrial flow, relaxed cadence and weed-scorched voice combined for one sick, [...] ShareThis
