[yoigotbeats]

I couldn't get past Apani's voice....

Siah & Yeshua da poED
Alpha-Proof

REED SEED RAER

Does this still go for loot?
I've been trying to figure that out lately as well. You'd expect it to, no reissue, no CD issue (to my knowledge), and pretty limited pressing (being fondle 'em and all). I remember it going from $50-100 years ago. Haven't seen it in a while.

East Flatbush Project

Did they put out anything besides Tried By 12?
Yeah dude did three or four other 12s, but nothing really lived up to that record. As I understand it, the long awaited full length is set to drop this year.

There was another 12" w/ different rappers on it... it didn't really make an impression on me. I thought they put out at an LP (or at least an EP).
Oh well, I guess just releasing singles wasn't a bad idea.

"Visualize"?

I actually saw a Rawshack 12" at the Salvation Army near my apartment recently... although it was not a title that I recognized.

If there were no instrumental on "Tried By 12," I'd never have bought it. Their rhymes really did not do that beat justice.

Rasco

oh shit...that's a name i have not heard in a minute.

His PBW, Q-Bert track "run the line" was a favorite of mine back when i actually gave a shit about 4 elements.

Reflection Eternal-Fortified Live 12"

Love that U-Roy loop.

Blackstar LP

 

[Symin]

Throw some knives at me or whatever but I really dont feel Blackstar. I like the poetry tracks the best, but the production is

just sayin

 

[kidinquisitive]

I still like the Blackstar album although not as much as I did a few years ago. I didn't list it here because I didn't know if it qualified as "underground". Most of the beats are nice IMHO.
