EPMD “We Mean Business”
January 11th, 2009
Im a huge fan of EPMD. Ever since I heard those signature drums on “So Whatcha Sayin?”, EPMD has been a top 10 rap group to me. When they broke up back in 92 (I think) I was crushed. 5 years later they were “Back In Business” and the signature E Double funk laced sound was intact. A couple years after that they were again “Out Of Business” and have been missed ever since…
Fast forward to 2008
“We Mean Business”, EPMD’s 1st record in 9 years, dropped about a month ago and I finally got a chance to listen to it.
Im impressed.
Featuring the likes of Redman, Keith Murray, Method Man, and KRS-ONE, this record has plenty to offer if you’re looking to dust off your fishermans hat and twist up some trees.
My favorite song so far happens to be the single “Listen Up” which features Teddy Riley on the talkbox laced hook (no t pain). This song, in my opinion, is current enough for todays dance floor and classic Erick Sermon funk at the same time.
This album is a breath of fresh air for the purist that is just looking for some funk loops and hardcore raps.
There is nothing new as far as the flows are concerned but E-Dub and Parrish don’t need to change much in order to continue Making Dollars.
You Gots To Chill!
