Scaramanga - 7 Eyes, 7 Horns. Do you like it?

I've been playing this a lot lately.

This album perfectly captures the 90s grimey sound with the low-fi backdrops he rhymes on. He sometimes tramples all over the beat and manages to stay on it somehow. The intuitive way in which he writes is a very refreshing change from the straightforward narratives of many rappers. I also respect Godfather Don highly so it's cool to see he got his co-sign. It seems to me that Vordul basically lifted his whole style from this guy BTW.

I doubt this album got much attention but I wouldn't know? What has he been up to since, anything good?

The last I heard from him was that Wu-Tang meets the Indie Culture, his verse was very lackluster.

Glad to see this is getting some love.

As far as the Vordul thing I just think the similarities are uncanny. I suppose a lot of people were on that same tip back then, perhaps.

chances that co-flow bit a rapper who came out after them: 1 in 100, 000

chances that kool keith bit off a guy who was his protege: 1 in 500, 000

chances that outkast ever even heard of scara: zero

rappers egos: priceless

rappers don't write those discogs pages though, more likely some overzealous backpacker is responsible

He charges 10,000 for a song, and half a million for a project.

this can't be true
where'd you read that?

i doubt he's made $10, 000 off all the music he's ever made combined.

Hahaaa...

This is dope, though. I just don't like ScholarWise on this album.
He kinda shits on some tracks.
I put this and Godfather Don's Diabolique in the same vein.
Similar albums, IMO, but the Don one is better.

One of my faves. Didn't know people fucked with Scara like that.

This is a dope album by the nigga with the golden gun alias. Probably his best work. Don't sleep on his other limited albums like snake eyes either. They're worthy of listening/copping.
