Rawkus was the shit back in the days, nowadays only Blue Scholars and Marco Polo are capable of doing good album, since Panacea and Kidz In The Hall left

Ya.. I mean.. people don't realize all the artists they really had on that label, and all the music that came out of it... I mean even Eminem released his first Everlast diss as a 12' vinyl on Rawkus
