6 Billion Feet Beneath, Where The Def Squad Dwells... {4 Stars}.......2007-01-06

Sleep if you want to, but this a seriously ill album. Erick Sermon shows why he is one of the best producers in hip hop history with albums like this. Even the tracks where the MC isn't all that great, the Green Eyed Bandit's production keeps your ears glued to the stereo speakers. Bangers like "The Vibe", "Reign", "On The Regular", "Fear" (R.I.P. Tommy Gunn), and "I Feel It" are tight vintage tracks from the Def Squad crew. "Funkorama" and "It's That Hit" are timeless, classic Funklord productions that take this album from good to great. Even the WFDS interludes are on point.

There are a few passable tracks, but not many. "Up Jumps The Boogie" suffers from sleep inducing production while "Ready For War" is hindered by Domo's weak lyrics. I'm not sure how many people remember Keith Murray's single "Get Lifted", but that single contained a b-side called "Pay Per View" that featured LBM, Passion, and Kel Vicious. On "As The..." Passion rehashes lyrics from that song (which is probably her best verse ever) and it brings nothing fresh to the table (though the beat, again, is superb) and makes things kind of boring. Don't get me wrong, Passion is nice, but she could've come more creative than that. And maybe I'm trippin', but I thought "Beez Like That" was definitely skip material.

When it's all said and done, cats will remember Erick Sermon as one of the best producers in hip hop history. When I look back at this album, I feel like it's the perfect representation of the Funk Lord's sound -- bass heavy, rugged, smoked out funk (even though Redman and Rockwilder do lend production assistance). Amazon is selling this album for a penny. I'd take advantage of anyone foolish enough to sell at that price and snatch this one up. Highly recommended.

Standout Tracks: Reign, Funkorama (My Favorite), Fear, It's That Hit, The Vibe, On The Regular, and I Feel It

This one has wonderful tracks such as: Redman's track "Funkorama". It captures the essence on the sound before mainstream went belly-up. Keith Murray's "It's That *hit" shows the wise range of Keith's lyrical excellence. LOD - "Fear" and E's - "Reign" are also a great. But then there's other's that are mediocre at best. The good track on here may be worth your $15. It just depends on how big a fan you are of the 94-96 era's sound. If you don't get this, try to find Keith Murray's "It's That *hit" single. It's worth it.
