scaramanga lp

Please be serious. This is what I am talking about.

I doubt even noted Kool Keith apologist BATMON will stand up for this Keith knockoff.
i liked that lp a lot. but i haven't listened to it in about eight years sooo...
Weren't you a fledgling IDM producer eight years ago, though?

Yes. In Noz's defense, I think his IDM celebrity came at a confusing point in his life when he was--how do you say?--about twelve years old.

East Flatbush Project

Did they put out anything besides Tried By 12?
There was another 12" w/ different rappers on it... it didn't really make an impression on me.

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

"I'll sign my name in the book at your funeral" = genius.

I wouldn't call it IDM.

That Al Tariq record was pretty solid, although a bit dated now.

I love that album.

 

[pppp]

hell to the no.

and i used to be a fan....(no phat laces)
Man, I agree. I put this on now and wonder why the hell I bought it in the first place.

everything we spit is hard
head to head - they did a 2005 version of this which is smoking but gets the big thumbs down from one Young Fox

J-Treds 12" on Fondle 'Em

How are you on Indelible MCs?
???

How do I feel about them as a crew or how am I up on them?
Just wondering if you dug them. I don't think I ever had the J-Treds 12" but his verses w/ Indelible were fire. Didn't know if EL-P ruined those records for you.

I liked them at the time, but I got rid of my own copies some years ago when I realized that there would probably not be an occasion where I would want to listen to them again.

The production on the J-Treds 12" was a lot more 1994 than it was El-P.

What about Royal Flush, "Worldwide"--I think that's technically indie.

We might as well just nominate the entirety or Babu's World Famous Beat Junkies Vol. 1.

 

[yoigotbeats]

"Visualize"?

the recording process of that record always bugged me and has always clouded my judgement of that record. I love it - I just only listen to the demo version of the song.

hells yeah, I was just singing that string sample in my head when reading this thread.

What about Mic Geronimo? He had a couple of good tracks. and Jemini the Gifted One (or is that early 90s?)
