I can't seem to extract tracks 2 and 3. I get a pop up that says "Potentially dangerous content has been blocked."

Can someone upload those 2 for me?

Great album! I could use some new album art though..

Words from Prince Paul about the album:

This was a project that I wanted to put together with Amityville MC legend Superstar . as I thought about it more I wanted to recruit more Mcs we knew to make it diverse . Superstar already had the name "Horror City" so wen recorded under that name . This project was recorded right after the first Gravedigga album " 6ft deep"in 1995 . I shopped the demo but unfortunately it got looked over and never got signed . I sat on this project for a while but it always had a dear place in my heart because I thought it was really good and the talent was there . I stripped some of the music from the demo and put it on " a prince among thieves" and actually had a few of the guys perform on the " Thieves " album as well but to be honest I always liked these originals better . So now I have decided share these songs with all of you because holding on to them made no sense .. why not share great music . Hopefully you the listener will enjoy this project as much as I do . please share it , thats why I made this for free download . For more group info please log on to http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000981527022 for a proper bio of "Horror City "

i got a bunch of these songs on a cassette ep that maseo gave on st. marks street in the early 90's. He was standing outside of a van just signing autographs and giving tapes away. it was awesome.
I never knew there was a full length.

Word. Thanks. That mediafire link wouldn't work at all for me.

Killer Sha = Prince AD
But I don't know if this is Killer Sha yet. So, I dunno.

Okay, listening now, not the same Sha. Apparently according to discogs, this Sha also produced Brain On Drugs by Boodah n The Bandit. and also, I could swear I remember Thun telling me of a different more known group that Big Sha was from, unless he said Horror City, which I doubt. Or maybe he goes by a different name.

Some quick notes during 1st listen:

Tracks 2, 3, 4, and 9 are beats that were used on Prince Among Thieves. So not only did he use Big Sha on both, but almost half the beats, too.
But this is really great, I can't front. Breez Brewin was awesome on that album but these cats do pretty damn well themselves.
You can even see that some of the concept for Prince Among was evolved from this...Horror City.

Track 7 is great, same sample as one of those tracks off OC's Jewelz album, "The Chosen One".

Track 8: the beat is like a shell of the "The Men In Blue" off of Prince amongst... Same bass line.

Track 10 has the same funny sounding half broke horn sample as Esteem - Cant Hold It Back from East flatbush Project: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPeEsr-PTDQ

In short, I will go back and listen to this again right now and throw it on cd for the whip and am enjoying it to the fullest. Some very dope shit right here. Mister Tibbs approved.

I'm pretty sure Big Sha was the antagonist on Prince Among Thieves. He sounds nothing like Killah Sha.

Versive · Post by **Versive** » Wed Jun 23, 2010 12:15 am

This album is fucking incredible by the way.

yeah, that's a definite already. shit's pretty great.

It's like a demo or pre cursor to Prince Among Thieves, in a good way.

Wow, I didn't expect to hear some beats from the Prince Among Thieves album, this shit is truly incredible! Much props for this.

Daaaaaamn...!!! Can a PC user who managed to extract the whole archive please upload it again somewhere?
I tried 4 different links and I can't open a single file, that shit is seriously getting on my nerves.
