Title: Anyone remember Blac Monks (Rap-A-Lot)?
Post by: Lord Funk on July 18, 2005, 12:13:22 PM
I was listening to 'Secrets of the Hidden Temple' from 1994 today - this is an amazing album!

Pure Texas funk, classic Rap-A-Lot. Sweet grooves and funky guitars - gotta love that... plus the old school drum breaks are sick and the flows are tight too. A definate solid 4 outta 5 CD...

...Just ordered their second album, 'No Mercy' for Ģ1.90 used off Amazon :) Hope it's as good..

Does anyone know anything about the group tho? I know one of them is 3-2, but that's it.

dunno if Mike Dean was with them back then but if he was he prolly produced that shit. seriously Rap-A-Lot has one of the best catalogues of all time in hip hop. prolly in the top 3 of all rap labels and thatīs whatīs up.
