How time goes fast...

"Get Off The Badwagon" still one of the hardest songs of all time.

[mobbinfms]

Up there as one of the Greatest Hip Hop Albums of All Time

 

[Awesome Wells]

The start of probably the BEST 4-album run in Hip Hop history.

Straight classic!

Finding OG pressings of the first 3 EPMD albums on vinyl as well as the 'You Gots To Chill' 12" in the same day, at the second hand spot, when I was a kid is still my GOAT record shopping haul

One of the GOAT groups

 

[blankstairz]

The beats on that album are ridiculous.

Thick, chunky ass beats.

EPMD always had great beats on those first 4 albums.

Real talk, Back in Business and Out of Business were some good albums too.

 

[Deltron]

CLASSIC

 

[Da Rhythm Rebel]

Still sounds good top to bottom today.

 

[SonnyDecay]

when it comes to 80s this is the group that you can bump anytime in any mood to this day

 

[OGBobbyJohnson]

A real classic
