I think they were signed to Warner Bros. but they definitely qualify as 'backpack rap'.

J-Treds 12" on Fondle 'Em

[drbrownscelray]

Cenobites (still listen to this all the time).

Most of the Godfather Don stuff.

hell to the no.

and i used to be a fan....(no phat laces)


are we talking about albums or just 12". very few albums would make my list, but there are still a handful of singles that hold weight.
Yeah, that album was terrible... "The Session" was a cool 12", though.

Very few of those artists were able to tarnsition to albums, in part because they all tried to make that leap way too quickly, IMO.

That Street Smartz cut w/ Pharoah Monche

"Metal Thangz," I think.

"In my basement is an array of torture devices that slices the next MC that thinks he's the nicest!"

Dilated Peoples-Work The Angles 12"

feels strange to talk about that 12 as "still" holding up.. time flies

fucking cant believe that its been 9 years!!!

???

How do I feel about them as a crew or how am I up on them?

The J-Live that was booted well before its major release seemed pretty decent. Its probably worth another listen. The Melodica EP was kinda tight even though I think Gift of Gab is corny. Unfortunately lots of local Midwest underground didn't hold up so well for me. I played the shit out of All Natural in HS, but I really do not dig Capital D. Still play 50 Years Down the Line for some not so distant future reminiscing. Dynospectrum was tight at the time but I can't listen to that anymore. Everything else has let's build yea son rec center open mic vibes. I'd rather listen to Ultramag Four Horsemen and The Extinction Agenda.
