1st time is the bomb.......2007-06-06

I have Anberlin's two other cds, kind of found out about them when their 3rd cd was being released. I know kinda backwards but lets forward to know i finally bought. The first cd by them "Blueprints" and yeah i can see why they are in this business, first off i love the way they title some of their songs like "Foreight Languauge" and "Naive New Orleans". The latter being one of my fav songs on the entire cd. I dont think there was a song that i didnt enjoy after the first listen.

But the obvious choice for song i press play on over again is "Cadence". Love everything about the song, vocals, background and the overall feel of the song in all aspects. Anberlin is seriously talented and whatever your preference is on music. You can find something from this super talented group on the way up to enjoy over and over again.

PS-also check out "Never Take Friendship Personal" and "Cities" by Anberlin as well. Fantastic 2nd and 3rd releases as well.

Best band ever........2007-04-01

This CD is absolutely amazing. In fact, it is by far the best collection of music I have ever heard. Cold War Transmissions all the way through the end of the CD is one of the few segments of my music library I can listen to over and over without ever getting tired of the songs.

The only songs that I think less than perfectly of are Foreign Language and Glass to the Arson. Other than that this is simply an amazing disc and one that any music lover should own.

"We Dreamt In Heist" did get stuck in my head for the longest time, so watch out for that. ;)

Wow....what an album!!.......2007-01-27

I don't know about anyone else, but I find Naive Orleans is the best song on there, just such a cool riff. And I personally prefer their sophomore album "Never Take Friendship Personal", but this is an album NOT TO OVERLOOK!!! Such an amazing album with every single song reminding me of something and they are each unique in their own way. And such an amazing voice to compliment such great music. I highly recommend even if you're iffy about Christian music....(personally i don't understand why it's such a big deal...people not liking Christian Rock/HipHop/or whatever). It's not like you'd be such a loser if you listen to it or automatically turn in to a robotic christian...RELAX and enjoy the wonderful sounds of pure awesome Rock!!

Amazing Band, Amazing Album.......2006-02-22

This band/album is simply amazing. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a CD this much! It is truly one of those bands that you can't stop listening to. The music is beautifully written and the vocal/guitar work is legendary. I'd recommend this album to anyone. You won't regret this purchase, I promise!

Masterpiece.......2007-07-18

There are few albums that hold up to repeat listenings, year after year. The seventies were an amazing time for jazz/fusion: Return to Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra. I thought I'd heard it all until this album came out. The musical invention soars on this record combining funk, world, jazz, fusion. Jaco, Zawinul, Alphonso and Shorter are amazing, but give credit to Chester Thompson, Michael Walden and Acuna. They help take this musical excursion to another rhythmic level. As an aside, I remember the prof of my college classical music appreciation class inviting his students to bring in a representative sample of what we were listening to at the time. He played Black Market for the class and thought so highly of it that he recommended it! Great music is great music!

Extraordinarily Good!.......2006-04-01

Explorers Shorter and Zawinul, like explorers Lewis and Clark, finally reach "the coast" with this release. Black Market is the culmination of the Weather Report mission part II. Mission Part I was the band's inception through Sweetnighter. Mission Part II started with Mysterious Traveler and finished here with Black Market. Every one of the first six releases was breath-takingly different yet one could still tell it was Weather Report.

In my opinion, this is the last truly great Weather Report release that explores sound, rhythm and musical settings. The air of mystery is in-tact and the music is both wonderful and remarkably accessible to just about anyone with ears and a sense of rhythm.

This is also Weather Report's strongest lineup in my opinion, with Acuna and Thompson taking care of the percussion section and Alphonso Johnson, who may just be the funkiest bass player alive, continuing to add to the mix on bass.

I love the early Weather Report, I've owned every release. I'm not a real fan of the subsequent releases starting with Heavy Weather. They are ok, but everything that came after this release was akin to simply running in place it would seem.

Black Market is masterpiece #4 in a string of releases that were all fantastic - Sweetnighter, Mysterious Traveler, Tale Spinnin', and Black Market. The first two release are also very good but the band hit full-stride with Sweetnighter.

If you love Heavy Weather, you will love Black Market and should also consider Tale Spinnin' which is close in sound and concept. Work backward from there (Mysterious Traveler, Sweetnighter, I Sing the Body Electric and self titled Weather Report) and discover what the original Weather Report was really all about.

The best band Weather Report had--with or without Jaco.......2006-03-05

Much has been made of Jaco Pastorius's impact when he joined Weather Report in 1976, in time for two tunes on this album. Some cite his inclusion into the band as the addition of a third creative voice that had been missing since Miroslav Vitous was a member. Some say that when Pastorius joined, Weather Report took a wrong turn in its musical direction, and that it's his fault. I really don't think either is the case; Jaco was indeed a third voice, at times redefining the bass's role to be a melodic instrument rather than accompaniment, but Alphonso Johnson, the bassist present for most of this album, is by no means a weak link or a missing voice that should have spoken. As for Jaco steering Weather Report down the wrong road, this is simply not true. For those who find later Weather Report ("Heavy Weather" and especially the albums after it) to be inferior, this is more aptly attributed to the fact that co-leaders Wayne Shorter and especially Joe Zawinul were having an increasingly difficult time coming up with creative new material. Jaco did not kill Weather Report; he merely joined at its peak and was with the band as it began to taper off in creativity. He did have the good fortune (or maybe it's our fortune) to be present on "Heavy Weather" and "Night Passage," two fantastic albums.

But for my money, the best unit Weather Report ever had was the one present on most of this album: Wayne Shorter on saxophone, Joe Zawinul on keyboards and synthesizers (and synthesizers, and synthesizers, and more synthesizers), Alphonso Johnson on bass, Chester Thompson on drums, and Alejandro Neciosup Acuna on percussion. Of all the drummers to play with Weather Report, Chester Thompson was the only one to really light a fire under the rest of the band and push it forward. This is his only studio album with the band and I believe the musicianship is at its highest due to his presence. He and bassist Johnson were apparently good friends and their rapport really propels the band to new rhythmic heights. Then Acuna is great here on auxiliary percussion (Shorter in particular seemed to like him a lot, based on what I've read) though he was never able to push and energize the band in the drum chair that he would occupy for the next album, at least not to the level Thompson does on tracks like "Elegant People." Incidentally, there is some phenomenal live material by this edition of the band on "Live and Unreleased" which begs the question why it wasn't released before, a la "8:30" by a later unit.

To complement the fantastic band assembled here, this album features some of the catchiest and memorable material, if not always the most creative, that the band ever recorded. As mentioned, "Elegant People" cooks and yet is beautiful and funky all wrapped into one package, and it gives Shorter some good solo space. The title track is funky (listen to how well Johnson grooves and even if you've heard Jaco, you won't miss him) and worldly. "Three Clowns" is one of the only ballads the band did that manages to not remind the listener of Kenny G (though it was never Weather Report's fault that some of the ballads did...it's Kenny G's fault for taking this beautiful music and watering it down to fit his utter lack of creativity). Then "Barbary Coast," one of two tracks on which Pastorius plays, features the funkiest bass playing on the planet, while breaking free of any kind of repetition or stagnancy associated with funk bass playing. Taken as a whole, the material on this album tells a story through its world themes and styles, and sound effect transitions. In a musical climate 30 years later which values one-hit wonders surrounded by 19 other fluff songs, this consistent quality and unity of material is extremely refreshing.

I've read that this album isn't considered as accessible as "Heavy Weather" but I wholeheartedly disagree. This music can be appreciated on many levels: it's danceable and funky, non-intrusive, and yet deep enough and done in enough colors to maintain interest. Plus the musicianship is phenomenal. Start here for a good introduction to Weather Report, especially if you are coming from a rock or pop music background.

Short but quite sweet.......2005-09-29

Another jewel of the jazz world, the Latino group Weather Report was of course the first to master fusion jazz. This particular album, typically considered the best, probably lives up to its hype. Worth your money, 'specially track three, Gibraltar. Recommended to most.

4 stars for great beats but only seven tracks.

70s Jazz Fusion With Sporadic Funky Moments.......2005-06-09

I favor the upbeat tracks on this album as the two ballads aren't particularly good, pouring water on the fire, and should have been placed at the end. The title track, "Black Market", provides 6 minutes of great 70s funk with sound effects at the end, then "Cannonball" sinks the funk before surprising with a somewhat funky middle section before sinking again. "Gibraltar" begins like a Steve Miller harbor song and some quiet woodwind before launching into some more 70s funk. "Elegant People" introduces some "cocktail piano" for the martini crowd with some burnin' sax lines by Shorter. "Three Clowns" is an atmospheric ballad. "Barbary Coast" begins with more sound effects, this time a choochoo train bringing the arrival of Jaco Pastorius(YAAYYY!), then goes into a funky slow rhythm featuring Pastorius on bass. "Herandnu" has a repetitive keyboard pattern before a rhythmic keyboard/bass section saves the day.

"No Elvis, Beatles or the Rolling Stones!".......2006-03-21

Clash Instrumentals...WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??

But, this also has some of Strummer & Company's greatest early-years vocal tracks - "Jail Guitar Doors" (amazing), "Gates Of The West," "Capital Radio Two" (better than the original by far), and "Groovy Times" to name a few. 1977 has to be my favorite song here, simply because it's my personal Clash anthem: the ending of the song has Strummer belting out, "1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 198-FAW!" I don't know exactly what he was talking about, or why he chose to end on 1984....but Joe Strummer counting out from the year of punk rock's birth to the year of my birth? That's awesome enough that I don't need to ask why.

Another standout track is the 8 minute+ "Justice Tonight/Kick It Over." This is an extended studio version of a dub song the Clash played live throughout almost their whole career, "Armaggideon Time," which can finally be found on CD (on the "Live: From Here To Eternity" disc). What an amazingly great song. The groove lulls you in so completely that the false stop halfway through the song is guaranteed to get you every time, even if you've heard it a thousand times like I have by now.

"Mustapha Dance," a dance remix of "Rock The Casbah" that is almost lyricless, as well as "The Cool Out," a completely lyric-free remix of the Sandinista track "The Call Up," really came as a revelation to me. You think of the Clash as being all about the lyrics, so it's weird to discover that they put out dance remixes for borgeouis (sp?) American white kids to dance to, but they did do it--twice. It makes more sense now that I've read the Strummer biography, "Joe Strummer and the Legend of The Clash," by Kris Needs. Kris Needs is a pretty cool guy who, it turns out, provided the howls and various other strange vocal parts ot certain Clash songs. Anyway, the dance remixes make sense for this reason: Strummer was the one behind the lyrics; and while Mick and the others were on board with his politics in the early days of the band, towards the end they just wanted to be rock stars. At the same time, Mick had been to New York City a few times and was becoming a huge fan of the emerging style called hip-hop. So it was natural for Mick to want to make beat-heavy (that is, rap-influenced) and feel-good (i.e., danceable) versions of Clash songs. And that's basically the reason that Joe fired him - he stopped caring about the politics.

I've probably given the wrong impression. You don't have to care about the band's history to enjoy this disc. If you want to own one of the best rarities albums ever released in the history of music, with a good mix of biting social commentary and feel-good party music, then get Super Black Market Clash ASAP.

Eclectic.......2006-02-17

Super Black Market Clash is exactly what a B-sides album should be: a handful of gems ("1977," "Groovy Times," "Pressure Drop"), some experimentation ("Justice Tonight/Kick it Over," "Radio Clash"), but ultimately uneven. I have been put on the record as saying that a B-sides album isn't worth anything if it isn't uneven (well, on the record because I just wrote it now). If the band doesn't have some failures then they're really not trying, are they? They're just spending time lounging in the safe zone. There's nothing terribly wrong with the safe zone, it's nice, I'd visit, but I sure wouldn't want to live there. The two biggest critical darlings had some massive failures. Radiohead's first album was absolutely grating (and not in an avante garde sort of way) and in my personal opinion the Beatles were mediocre until Help!. That being said, some of the songs off the second half of the album fall a bit flat. Even so, they're all interesting to listen to and don't permanently scar the album. Most of them show The Clash trading in their gut level impact for some more experimental music.

Super Black Market Clash is just the fix for those of you who have already bought the first three CDs (which I recommend doing immediately if you haven't already). It's a great career spanning picture of the most eclectic punk band.

Bankrobber and Armagideon Time would have made it 5.......2005-12-05

..I happen to be a true fan of The Clash and i really enjoy Black Market Clash, however i'm quite disappointed at the omission of Bankrobber and Armagideon Time. I've acquired these tracks on a copy of "story of the clash vol. 1" so i'm still able to enjoy them, but Black Market Clash suffers without them.
However...
The City of the Dead, The Prisoner, Pressure Drop, Groovy Times, Gates of the West, Capital Radio Two, and Stop The World are some of the best Clash tracks I've heard and make this album very enjoyable.
As for the dubs... i can't stand Justice Tonight/Kick it Over, or Robber Dub. The Magnificent Dance is okay but the song really needs lyrics to be good, same with The Cool Out. The Mustafa Dance is an enjoyable dub of Rock The Casbah though

Aggravating!.......2005-07-25

I loved the original Black Market , especially for Bank robber Armiggdeon time and was gravely disappointed to not find them here. The replacement dubs here are awkward, cutting some vocals off in mid-word. I was wondering if these are original outakes or something thrown together more recently. Does anybody know? I guess the problem here is that when your so familiar with the orginal, any differences are disturbing to the flow and expectation you have for the song.

Super Black Market Ripoff.......2005-07-17

Nothing signifies the greed involved in the Clash reissues more than this CD. I had the original 10" vinyl edition of "Black Market Clash," and it was a gem, full of non-album singles and B-sides from the early and middle portions of the Clash's career. Unfortunately, Sony has taken most of the best songs from the original "Black Market Clash" and has made them available only on various greatest hits CDs or the "Clash on Broadway" box set. The new "Super Black Market Clash" retains only a few of the original tracks and replaces the missing songs with less interesting tracks from the "Sandinista" and "Combat Rock" eras.

The net effect is that to obtain all of the songs on the original record, one must buy multiple CDs, resulting in the repurchase of songs already appearing on the proper Clash albums. The music originally obtainable on a single vinyl LP is now disaggregated and unreasonably expensive to bring back together. Unfortunately, the mishandling of this reissue has made this once great record a shadow of its former self.

The London-based trio Placebo carries on the modern-rock banner with this third collection of glam-influenced guitar pop. Black Market Music may not contain anything as immediately catchy as Without You I'm Nothing's "Pure Morning," but the dark hooks of "Taste in Men," "Special K," and "Slave to the Wage," with its Pavement sample, sink in deep after just a few listens. "Spite and Malice," featuring a guest turn from One Inch Punch rapper Justin Warfield, is a surprisingly successful marriage of Britpop and hip-hop, while the moody drone of "Passive Aggressive" showcases the band's more reflective side. And while songs about tumors and hemoglobin threaten to close the album on a lyrically bleak note, two bonus cuts change the mood: a reprise of Without You I'm Nothing's title track with Brian Molko's hero David Bowie joining in on vocals, and a cover of Depeche Mode's "I Feel You." Black Market Music isn't exactly the feel-good album of 2001, but it gives hope to those who still have faith in the future of Britpop. --Bill Forman

forerunners of change.......2007-01-01

neuron charging, feet stomping, pulse elevating surges of sound that explosively surpass the general world of music. These are pioneering musicians who tactfully cull the most amazing sounds, flesh them out with stimulating lyrics and deliver the aural delicacies with elegance and extreme energy. This is what rock should be like in this century: something ground breaking and enduring!

Where do I start........2006-09-12

Perhaps first off I should say that this is my favorate album of all time. For me Placebo was that band that turned me into someone else. Until them I was listening to lots of bad sludge rock and other horrible things, however when I bought this album after loving the song "special K" that I had heard on a sampler a friend had burned. Ironicly, the first time I listened to the cd I didn't think it was very good, but somehow it got better on every new spin until I was completely obsessed with Placebo to some fairly extreme ends. I can honestly say that they changed me, or in better words that they brought something out in me that had been there all along. Over the years i've buried many memories in their music, and its helped me out in many a personal struggle.
In my mind BMM is when Placebo hit their creative peak, Brian Molko was probably at the top of his madness, and at the same time they had matured enough as musicans to create a more complex album which reflected all the things affecting them. The result is a dark, dense, beautiful, haunting album tinted with bits of clautrophobic madness and large dashes of androgeny. The end result is a work that feels timeless.

"Nancy Boy" may be dead according to the band these days, but in the older albums such as this, he is granted a smudge of immortality.

new muse.......2006-08-05

Awesome! So much energy! I just saw this band in concert and they played the majority of this new CD and it sounded great live! I highly recommend this and any Muse CD.

Really 4.5.......2006-01-18

I was initially wary of this album because of the mixed reviews and my firm belief that no Placebo album could be better than Without You I Am Nothing. Well Black Market Music isn't better than Without You I Am Nothing, but it's certainly better than Placebo's much lauded debut (a debut of which I am fond but not sold by). The only questionable song on the album is "Haemoglobin," a piece of very listenable musical and lyrical crap. So, if you like Placebo, go for it. I am enjoying the album this very minute.

black market rock.......2005-07-22

this was the first placebo cd i bought. i could not stop listening to this cd and played it constantly for at least a year. now i still listen to it sometimes - im surprised im not sick of it by now. seriously, ive gotten other placebo albums since this one (without you im nothing, sleeping with ghosts) and, while very good, they just don't compare. every song is a favourite, but id have to say 'taste in men', 'special k' and 'haemoglobin' stand out.
NB; this cd is a bit heavier then some of placebo's others. maybe thats why it may be a little disappointing to some...

Collard Greens and Gravy are a melbourne Blues trio who play swamp delta blues. For a three piece the band can really wail. Ian Collard is easily Melbournes best harp player and does an exceptional job on this cd. This is their 3rd release and still stands strong next to their other wonderful cds. THis album is all originals but has three covers on it, done very well might i add. One might say that it is quite difficult to write orginal blues songs these days, but ian collard does a great job. This cd won an aria and it was very well deserved becuase this is a great album. For those who like delta swampy kind of blues this cd is a must have. Australia has never produced better blues.

THIS IS TOTALLY EVIL!!!.......2007-03-24

This is an amazing horrorcore album but its incredibly repulsive. The flow is a great and nonstop and it sounds like exactly like Snoop Dogg only better. People overreact over this the only incredibly sicc songs are like the first 3 songs the rest is just hardcore gangsta rap with a little horrorcore lyrics. I once drove up to a church blastin this it was totally fun to see the reaction. I highly recommend it. Cop this if you think you can stomach a guy stickin a pistol in his girls you know what and shooting the baby in her womb and blowing her groin all over the room.
I mean it gets really really evil. Nothing hs ever been made like this or ever will.

Ok, First all ever body keep's on saying this is Lynche's best album well, I kinda agree and dont agree....I think if your looking for more, his lyrcially album and, siccer lyrics then this is it.....But however loaded was a amazing, follow up most rappers could never follow, up such a good album by there second release but lynch does... Loaded has more a weried bizzar sound to it, it has hard g-funk beats but without all, that whistling synthersizer and whinig keyboards...But season has that more g-funk beat that do have, the whistling synthersizers and keybords kinda, like dre chronic and like a spice 1 album...
Also loaded has alot of guest apperances like- ice-t, cos,p folk's, first degree the d.e. all over the cd, loki etc...the list goes on. So the point I'm making season, and loaded are about equal to me, there productio is justa lot different, but lyricially lynche's lrics are sicc and strange, but season maybe a little rawer... Best songs- sicc made, rest in piss, return of da baby, liquor sicc, season od da sicc, welcome to your own death..Also Lynch by inch tigh as well not as good as his first two but still sicc with it...Siccmade records!!!!
- peace

Sacramento's Finest.......2007-03-13

This album is hard. If you like Lynch Hung, C-Bo, or Mr. Doc, buy this album. If you haven't heard any X-Raided, I would start with the Xorcist or Deadly Game, but this album is a close 3rd.

Straight Classic.......2006-05-05

Those only a couple rappers that can get on this level and that are X-Raided ,Brotha Lynch and both there record companies.X comes hard and the beats are crazy.The only bad part is that it ends

Old Skool.......2005-10-18

X Raided was off the hook even back in 92. Can't wait until his next album comes out.

Str8 Sac Classic.......2005-04-02

I can't explain enough about how tight this album is here, firstly it's haaard, the beats are heavy and its got some mad flows all throughout. This was in the heat of the gangsta rap era, dropping around the same time as about 15 billion(lol) other rappers from the westcoast were coming out. There were a few good rappers coming out at this time, all trying to be hard. But the blackmarket and siccmade had something a level up from what others were doing, X-raided, who was someone that didn't give a fucc and really meant and showed it. There was a lot of controversy about the label and this release, as it was given for evidence that got him locked up for killing 2 gang members. Anyway, X-raideds flows are sicc and couldn't be touched at this time by anyone in Sacc except for brotha lynch hung who was formerly in a group with x-raided. The tracks have good quality production and perfect use of samples(ohio players-funky worm) which a lot of people were using back then. Blended together with some haaard and heavy rapping from X which makes this a classic. I don't know what happened lately, but thats what always happens with people that come out tight. In my opinion, psychoactive, brotha lynchs 24 deep & season of da siccness, brotha lynch and sicxs Ni@@a deep and sicxs dead 4 life are the best of the blackmarket and siccmade selection, Mr doctors setrippin bloccstyle has some classic tracks on too and would come after. But anyways, if you are thinking about getting this, DO IT! it's some tight classic sh#t that you can't miss. Later!

Classic Album.......2005-03-11

Classic Album. All Songs Tight.
It`s too Bad this Album got him in Arrested for murder and now he is in jail because X-Raided is one of the best rappers of all time.
An Esstenial for fans of 90`s Gangsta Rap

PEACE

This is one of the best cd's I have ever bought/heard in my life and I am picky wit my taste of music. If you are down with the west coast underground scene (not that hyphy ish..) but the real west coast gangsta beats then this cd is a best buy. Nearly half the songs on the cd are real deal make you wanna bump n never get old type of tracks. The best song on the cd I must say is "Dont Get Your Jaw Broke" by Triple Beam who also are loaded with cutz. Also check out "Highway Music" by Gangsta Dre, and "Do You Want Funk" by Jubie. And that aint it, lets just say there is plenty more where that came from.

Best of da Undaground.......2002-11-04

This album is a perfect example of how underground has come up throughout the years. Black Market record have done a excellent job of keeping their reputation as the ... from the Bay. ... EBK4 till I die

Album Description

When you get 4 of the most respected vets in the New York underground hip hop scene together in the same room magic is bound to happen. Conceptually this record is solid and the chemisry amongst the seemingly unusual pairing is unmistakable. Enter Tragedy Khadafi (Juice Crew, Intelligent Hoodlum, CNN), Killah Priest (Sunz of Man, Wu-Tang Clan), Hell Razah (Sunz of Man, Wu-Tang affiliate) & Timbo King (Royal Ram, Wu-Tang affiliate, I AM).

better than i thought.......2007-02-18

With good, new hip-hop albums becoming more and more rare these days, I thought that Black Market Militia would be okay at best. Boy was I wrong. This is a great album. The albums highlights are Gem Stars(good old fashioned SAMPLE BASED HIP-HOP!), Think Market(beat is blazin!), and Thug Nation. Pick this up if you like Killah Priest or Wu-Tang, you'll love it.

Ausar007.......2007-01-03

Killah Priest is always on demand, his music of the progressive conscious movement music is always top rated by his fans. His Microphone Technique on recordings is superb. He follows politics for soul and mind. The Black Market Militia is a uplifiting album for all people who understands struggle in their daily lives. The history is fortold from the 60's to the presents. the lyrics of killah priest are excerpts from the revolution of black independence. He mentions Malcom X, Huey P, Marcus Garvey, Afeni Shakur, Israelites, Nuwaubians, and The Bush Presidency. His Albums are archives something like the schaumburg library. He mentions Biblical Laws something not too many rappers can do by gathering the info and put it in music. I rate the black market militia album for anyone who is looking for true conscious music. He is truly a proffesor in rap for The Progressive Right Movement.

Real Hip Hop At Its Best.......2006-02-22

If you think you are a fan of real rap/hip hop (and i dont mean that g-unit 50cent crap) and dont have this album then think again cause this is rap at its best every song is deep and has meaning there not rappin about chains,cars and money thay talk the real.So if i were u who dont own this album spend a few bucks get it 2nd hand trust me if u a real hip hop head u will be glad u did..PEASE

Awesome album.......2005-08-13

Im a huge Trag fan so this was an automatic buy for me. Also a big Killah Priest and Timbo King fan, two really dope MC's that are better known for their Wu-affiliation but are doing it big on their own and drop alot of quality stuff.

But anyway back to the CD... its dope, I didn't think it would be this good just because I'm used to hyped up releases by "super-groups" ending up just being a jumbled mess. This albums organized, the beats are hot, the rhymes are even hotter, and its just a great concept album.

"Gem Starz", "audobon Ballroom", etc... really dope, definitely cop this.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THAT REVOLUTIONARY RAP.......2005-07-18

I'm from that part of the country where everything is Crunk this and Crunk that. The only solice I can find is in bands like the Black Market Militia, Immortal Technique and Dead Prez. This CD took me back to a time when we could take a sicc beat and put some of our deepest thoughts to it and it was called HIP-HOP.
