Erick was much better on Business As Usual, than he was on Unfinished Business.
By '92, dude was probably Top 5 in the game, when he started up on Whut? Thee Album.
Not at all.
You just being pessimistic breh.
Rhe second album is rhe best epmd album easily. Like I said. Erick volume went up but after hitting switches and rated r at best.
Only dope dope beats from epmd and later is :
Brothers from Brentwood long Island and chill.
Which I have not seen my epmd cd pr tape for their defjam years to give a fukk about the j card. Yet I would be hard pressed to think. Maybe someone else did those beats. With how far Erick fell off.
as a producer after the second album.
Erick was a complete shell of himself. That even his rhymes took a turn for the worst as well.
as his production became dated cliche and stale.
Erick just made more in volume and got more savvy admin wise.
Yet as a skill producer. Only person even getting good beats from Erick was red. Which was collaborative at best. Or maybe red did the bulk of the work and Erick added technical acumen to the see the end result. Yet on no day. was Erick sermon as good as the second epmd album later on.
I could only wish after Erick pulled the bullshyt and Parrish played his friends administratively. That sermon was as good as previously as a producer. Especially on the mic. Which a whole thread needed. To tackle how wack Erick sermon was.
Directly after hitting switches as a solo artist. To one of the huffest solo rap producers lp runs ever.
Plus his descending skill as a a feature as well.
You producers dude be mad nice to one another. Yet sorry I keep it real.
