Although, they are best known for the melodic "Stabbed By The Steeple" that featured a very young Will.I.A.M of the BEP (then A.T.A.B.A.N. Klan). The majority of the album was produced by EPIC, who is best known for his the pop hit a few years back, 'come come my lady, you're my butter fly, suger baby...'A really dope album nonetheless.
I have a radio-promo copy of this c.d., still play it every once in a while, but I guess I'm biased. "Stabbed By The Steeple" is definitely my joint.
PhilaFlava wrote:Funkdoobiest "Which Doobie U B?" 1993 -- Although it's not slept on, it's definitely obsecure. With hits like "The Funkiest," "Freak Mode," "Wopbabalubop," and "Bow Wow Wow," hip-hop fun was in full effect in '93.
I wouldn't think this was all that obscure. I still have my tape. Don't have my singles from the album any more. "Bow Wow Wow" was on clearish/blueish wax if memory serves me correct.

Had the "Busted Loop" 12'' and a keychain with their logo on it, but I never was able to cop the album.

I always wanted a copy of this. I had a promo cassette of one of their tracks. Never saw the album in any store.
Managed to find a copy of the album used a while back. It's really good, though there are a couple of standout tracks that are head and shoulders above the rest....
Is this hiphop? Hell no, this is war.
I've been trying to tell you that since How About Some Hardcore.

Dred Scott - Breakin' Combs

I don't think it's rare or anything, I actually only first bought it about two years ago..but its become one of the albums that I keep in constant rotation. Nobody really ever comments on it, maybe its just me.

Cryptic,
If you have this on wax and are willing to trade or sell outright, hit me up.

This is a solid album, Dred Scott had a really cool style and some great themes and topics. A lot of nice samples too. My only complaints are the repeated use of the same drums over half the album and that the 'Check the Vibe" remix wasn't included.

Tung Twista - Runnin Off at da Mouth

Not too obscure at the time, but I'm sure most people don't know about it and it's become very hard to find. Twista's best work. The beats are nice, although somewhat dated, and he's not as polished as he is now, but still very entertaining in a novel, Chip-Fu sort of way. Anyone know how much a copy goes for nowadays?

I actually found one on Amazon for $68. I have a copy I got for $3, but have been considering selling, reason why I asked.

They also had these 2 incredible b-sides that I only have on faded cassettes.. Do you happen to have "Ism and Blues" and/or "Hip Hop Lifestyle" on mp3?

A lot of people hype the Hard 2 Obtain album up like it's "funky technician", "follow the leader", "only built 4 cuban linx", "black bastards", "stress.." status..

It isnt..

It's good but not that good.

You can get the Scientifik album from ughh.com, i think..

"I got planz" and "fallen star" are my joint's.
