YouTube · Post by **Philaflava** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 10:06 am

its almost 2009 and EPMD dropped an album, what did you expect? i'm just happy this finally came out. some tracks are great.

man you guys are troopers! i love epmd but there's simply no way this is good.i haven't heard it but neither of these guys has made good music in this decade. but maybe i'm wrong...can some one post a track or something? i will be shocked if it isn't terrible.

sadly its a little bland, great to hear E and P rhyme together, especially PMD; his voice and flow sound savage, made me realize how much I missed him and how dope he was. The beats are lacking though I wish they had gone a different route and came up with something unique, a new style but still laced in funk with that old slow flow.

Too many irrelevent guests, I've never been a fan of Method Man or Keith Murray or Mobb Deep for that matter or Teddy Riley, KRS became unlistenable over 15 years ago. Aah well, hopefully its bodes well for future E & P collabs and maybe next time they can get the formula right.

It isn't terrible

in reality, i'm just having super low expectations cause i wanna be wrong. aside from "looks like a job for" by kane, i'm hard pressed to think of a "comeback" album that has ever recaptured a former great artists glory. i suppose "the foundation" could be considered a success as well...but someone pick their favorite joint off this new EPMD album and

while it is nice to hear these two rhyming together again, this song is awful.

yeah, that's an odd one, because there is one fuck in there but the other one is edited and the N word is used through out the album.

Here is what I'm guessing and I'm usually good at this. Obviously Meth's verse was a send in and I'm not even 100% sure it was actually meant for the EPMD album. They took it anyways because its their biggest feature on the album though.

you could be right there Gloss, what happened to the joints with MOP and D-Block and Devin The Dude?

Jaz · Post by **Jaz** » Sun Dec 07, 2008 5:21 am

Album has really grown on me, especially Left 4 Dead, that's a great 9th Wonder beat.

Comedy Quaddafi · Post by **Comedy Quaddafi** » Sun Dec 07, 2008 6:04 am

E is rapping worse than ever on this.

I like the majority of this album.

at 1st listen that's the same thought I had.
I listened the album twice. it's ok;
most of the beats are just decent for me...atleast the rappin' is serious

I listened to the album this weekend, and it is awful.

I think people divy in the previous accomplishments of an artist or group when listening to their newer shit, this album is way below average. Nothing special about the rhyming or lines that make you say "whooo".

Just give me some def squad type sounds if your gonna bring sermon back.
