It's always the same few posters who never turn down an opportunity to put their feelings of regional inferiority on blast.

:russ: It's hilarous... nikkas catch feelings for NO REASON. A MF could put up a post about Redman that has shyt to do with anyone else, and like clockwork, nikkas just show up in protest like somebody said "fukk E-40" :heh: It's sad, really... especially since we just talkin' bout old shyt and dudes got unsolicited 20-year-old stress on their chest, lmao

took it hard bro. Epmd was at the top of their game with crossover and then headbanger. The whole hit squad Das efx and Redman was just getting started. I will say this though. that breakup i took personally. I dont think i gave Eric sermon first solo album a chance. I hated that song stay real but loved hitting switches. Same with the geto boys. and a lot of people will say that album with Big Mike is one of their best. But honestly, i never gave it a chance like i should have.


bruh i coulda sworn it was just me

P>E but i had all the E albums, Also E's grill is jacked all the way up

Culturally erick sermon was accepted regardless of the circumstances behind the pmd home invasion robbery.
While pmd's cultural scourge admin practices.
Put him and his iteration of the squad in the failed cultural draw phase wise. alternatively, Erick sermon's solo career as a producer and rapper.
Including his alternative squad collective name all amplified their draws in the sales spike era to platinum, turntable hit or remix publishing smash territory.

When previously epmd and its squad named collective ceiling at its height was from gold to barely 750k album wise on average.
The only exception being das efx whom lost their plat draw sales and high publishing radio hit draw in the change from styles war to the technical revolution. Where although equally skilled after shedding the iggity's. Still churned out high quality little heralded submissions in the aftermath. Which never even resulted in a turntable hit after the smash singles that were included on livin sewerside.

If you was a teenager/high school, so called hip hop head or even a casual rap fan, you knew about some muthafukkin EPMD. East coast? West coast? Down south? Bruh, didn't none of that shyt matter back then:camby: THIS WAS EPMD:pachaha:

Them nikkaz was on TV, daytime/underground radio, every single rap magazine, even muthafukkin Jet. Muthafukkaz knew about the break up, we talked about the shyt at school, all the squads had hot singles droppin, gettin all types of play. By the time fall quarter started muthafukkaz was fighting with the Sophmores over who was gonna have Crossover as the class song:pachaha:Even the liquor sto pickle eatin, still rockin burgundy dookey braid havin hoe$ was rockin and breakin shyt down at the party and school dances to some EPMD:usure:
