Re: fans of underground rap?

Where do you guys go to find out what concerts are coming through your area? Its hard to do it with these underground artists. I usually look on their websites, but alot don't have a website, and for those that do, most of the info is out dated.

Artist: eMC
Album: The Show
Producers: Ayatollah; DJ Premier; Marco Polo; Koolade; Frequency; Quincy Tones; The R
Release Date: March 2008

I can't believe no one is talking about this album in here. What I thought was going to be mediocre month of music in January, "The Show" set for release in March was leaked on January 24th. And this boiii... is a classic, and nothing less. I didn't think Masta Ace could top his work on "Long Hot Summer" but teaming up with Wordsworth, Strickland, and Punchline has to go down as one of the best decisions ever made. All emcees bring their A-game to the table and Punch and Strick hardly seem like rookies.

There isn't a marquee track to play repeatedly over and over with no hesitation, but there are several more-than-solid songs on this joint. You will actually still be repeating songs but in packs. The album front to back is stellar, which reminds me that I haven't seen this kind of accuracy since October 2005's "Smoke and Mirrors" album by O.C.. The skits make total sense riding along each song which reveals the already known fact that Masta Ace has mastered the concept of 'Concept Albums', and the art of story-telling, however, so have his group members.

"Who We Be", "Grudge", "Say Now", and "Make it Better" are some of my faves for now, but it hasn't stopped me from listening to the whole album at all. I've had this album for 5 days now and it's track-listing has racked up 148 plays already. I gave this album my first 'F.O.U.R.' Classic rating ever. I can't stop going to "The Show", and I KNOW all of you will agree if you get the chance to listen. I'm so into this album that I am going to buy it for sure to support eMC. Artists like this should never retire.

  • 101% (CLASSIC)

No to Hi-Tek and Incise but Dilla would get added. The people on my list are guys who if I heard that they were producing a track I would have to hear it.

Re: fans of underground rap?

well he's the late-j-dilla to me... legendary... but these are my fave producers 'now'. Hi-Tek's last few albums haven't been very good imo... I had Incise on my list.
