I remember playing the f--- out of that album. Even friends who heard it asked me to borrow it.

I kind of agree that they were a little too similar to JMT but that’s also why they were great as part of Army of the Pharaohs.

You know what it is actually, it’s that they were the only Christians in AOTP and I related to them growing up in a Latin American Christian household.

Bishop Lamont - The Reformation
The Chemical Brothers - Further
El-P - Cancer 4 Cure
Fatboy Slim - You've Come a Long Way, Baby
Kirzz Kaliko - Kickin' & Screamin'
Muse - Absolution
The Prodigy - Fat Of The Land
Radiohead - Kid A
Sia - 1000 Forms of Fear
Torii Wolf - Flow Riiot

Tried to think of ones I probably haven't mentioned. Artists like Nas, Eminem*, Royce, Run the Jewels, Radiohead have enough good albums that they are in a pretty constant rotation. Ces Cru too actually. The Strokes are great but I don't listen to them an awful lot.

*I've listened to Relapse countless times, normally in some form of playlist. Probably more than any other Eminem album now.

Shut Em Down the Onyx album? If so, props man.

I still listen to this album every few months or so. It always brings me right back to my high school days smoking blunts and drinking OE 40s outside in the middle of winter haha

This album was the first time I ever heard 50 cent too.

That's the one, mate. It was the first album from Onyx that I checked out... What an album wheew. Rob and Vic, Veronica, Raze it up etc classic material.


haha fair play man. They had mad amounts of talent and that aggression they have is insane.


50 killed the feature shame he only had 8 bars or so on it though. The video is dope too.

Funny you mentioned some songs cause I was originally gonna mention how the album has so many different types of songs, but I ended up deleting it from my post. The album has the club/party songs like react and ghetto Starz to storytelling with rob & vic and Veronica, plus all the prototypical onyx songs you’d expect like raze it up and street nigguz.

It’s a phenomenal album. Onyx purists will argue that bacdafucup or all we got iz us are better than shut Em down. They might be right, but I feel like with shut em down they figured out how to balance their hardcore sound with more polished production and songs to make a better overall album.

Either way, onyx was the s---.

Edit: forgot a word.

Have you bumped the s--- they dropped a couple years back, I forget the name of the album smh.

Edit: I think It's called Wakedafucup

Not really. And to be honest, I completely forgot about it. I accidentally discovered it last year, added it to my library, and maybe skimmed through a couple songs real quick. But I forgot to actually listen to it.

Do you like it? I’ll probably listen sometime tomorrow if I have time now that you mentioned it.

It isn't as good as Shut Em Down, but It's definitely worth checking out, my man.
