props, always dug this album
EPMD - Strictly Business (1988) Erick and Parrish Making Dollars. Not a very profound name for a group, but when you shorten it to EPMD it rolls off the tongue like water on a duck's back. Simple, yet incredibly fresh. Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith only cared about one thing - making the raps to make your hands clap, fingers snap and toes tap. Two brothers from Brentwood, Long Island who were dead serious about making you bust a move. Hardcore, but not cartoonishly gangster. Clever, but not obscenely complicated. Smooth, but still rugged enough for all the b-boys while fly enough to pull the honeys.
great album but i wouldn't have put it that high, the middle drags
