Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith both born in 1968 have been around since the early days of hip-hop, and they are not old and tired either, they did their first major album when they were only 18 years old!! They bring their hip-hop longevity, underground sound, and old school rap flow to this CD which is typical EPMD; uncut funk samples and a very non-commercial sound. I guess some people who gave it a bad review can't understand their artistic vision and musical integrity. The one BASIC thing about EPMD is how consistent they've been... with four gold albums to their credit. They are even more influential than that.

These saavy veterans are called EPMD, it stands for (Erick and Parrish Making Dollaz) and they flex madd skills and fresh game on this CD. They bring hot raps and much revitalized energy to this new set of awesome, perfectly selected samples from the "Joys of Funk" production, a.k.a. Erick "Funk Lord" Sermon who has produced (Redman, Method Man, Scarface, Too Short and many others) AND many tracks used first by EPMD were used later by: Run-DMC, JAY-Z, DR. DRE, LL COOL J, DMX, Warren G, and others.

On this CD they are using hot old school funk tracks by Zapp, Tom Browne, Rick James, and Slave, but you gotta be old school to notice that. All you youngsters better listen up and learn from the masters...'cause this is how rap should be done.

FYI: To you new jacks to the hip-hop world who think they know sumthin'....THERE WOULD BE NO: REDMAN, KEITH MURRAY, MOBB DEEP, DAS EFX OR K-SOLO WITHOUT EPMD!!
