EPMD - Strictly Business.

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ONFRESH 1988.

Fresh LPRE 82006 made in Canada. Vinyl EX. Cover EX.

EPMD's blueprint for East Coast rap wasn't startlingly different from many others in rap's golden age, but the results were simply amazing, a killer blend of good groove and laid-back flow, plus a populist sense of sampling that had heads nodding from the first listen (and revealed tastes that, like Prince Paul's, tended toward AOR as much as classic soul and funk). A pair from Long Island, EPMD weren't real-life hardcore rappers -- it's hard to believe the same voice who talks of spraying a crowd on one track could be name-checking the Hardy Boys later on -- but their no-nonsense, monotoned delivery brooked no arguments.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPMD
