to this day when you hear the helicopter to its my thing you just get on up. i get disappointed everytime i hear that intro and it' s" ain't no n***a. This was the first tape i ever bought with my own money.

To a man, i would say the whole hitsquad could have been as good as or better than wutang

I love these interviews.

they show that you ont need a whole bunch of apple itunes garage serrato super extra studio keyboards $500 earphones to make a dope classic hip hop album.

and on top of that. these dudes is so humble.

nothin like the skittles metrosexuals who keep talkin about their "swag".

Strictly Business is one of those rare albums you can listen without having to skip a track. If you don't have EPMD's first 4 albums on you collection, either get your weight up, or go live under a rock. 2nd greatest rap duo behind Run-DMC, in my opinion.

EPMD was my favorite hip-hop group from that era. I was 9 years old in 88, and I would excited everytime their videos came on. Classic!

TOHN007 — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 18:29:04 GMT

This is why I have these dudes as my avi. They are one of the greatest rap duos ever! I remember me and my cousin used to rock the fisherman's caps and do their raps in the living room. That was back in the OG Yo MTV raps days. Man 88/89 was the best couple of years that Hip Hop ever had. Like Erick said, nobody was trying to sound like nobody. Much props and respect to EPMD.

Muddasuckas!!! What's up!! I had to get on when I saw my boys Erick & Parrish Makin' Dollars!!! These cats are one of the most consistent and underrated groups eva. The first time I saw You Gots to Chill on BET (Back when the network actually meant something), I went out and actually 'copped' the tape and not have someone in school 'dub' it for me on tape. (You know that's how we got down back in the 80's!!!) I still got that original cassette, plus the CD. Then when they came out the very next year with Unfinished Business, DAMN!!!!!
When they talk about the early days of hip-hop, these cats betta be on that list.

If you weren't around during that era of hip hop you missed the golden age. I guess that's why I'm not impressed with most of the stuff that's out right now. No more originality. Everybody talking about the same things. It's just monotonous now. Cats really took hip hop seriously back then. Now it's all about the cash not the love of the culture anymore.
