Superior hip hop sounds

These guys have better rhymes and rhythms then most of the so-called MCs that are around these days. This collection of artists uses sophisticated beats, lyrical acrobatics, and polished smooth transitions to illustrate a versatility, complexity, and self-awareness that few other rappers or hip hop groups can boast. This act has polished their bits until they are razor sharp and snap together like magnets. Along with this collection of tracks, Third Eye Vision is another "must" if you find that this is the direction you imagined for this style of music to mature toward as a full-grown and legitimate musical art form. I find that, when I put tracks from these guys in my mixes, friends consistently ask me "Who is this? This is incredible!"

i really like these guys, this is the only album i have of theirs, and i would love to have more, but that involves money, which seems to like avioding me. damn. these beats are great, and with so many members in the group, each track sounds well produced and coordinated like it wasnt thrown together in a couple of hours. i really like the track Classic. its has the backround orchestra tune, and great sounding lyrics. funny skit leading up to it too. prelude isnt really meant to be a real track, but i like it. actually, come to think of it, i like all of the tracks. 1 con is Maggie May. the chorus is wierd and creepy and i think could have been thought out better. "maggie may, maggie may, i thought about you all saturday.."what? that just doesnt sound good. its still pretty good though.

Lords of the Underground: A Guide to Underground Hip-Hop

By Hua Hsu, eMusic Contributor

"Underground" is one of those tantalizingly vague terms that's always on the verge of obsolescence until some mouthy, hungry new rapper comes along and reanimates it. Whether it was being dismissed as a fad, derided as a menace to society or ascending the pop charts, there's always been a distinct way in which hip-hop has represented its underground ethos — the long-repressed reality straight from America's cities on one hand, or a new set of… more »

They Say All Music Guide

After reaching the charts and critics lists all during the early ’90s as solo artists (and groups), then spending the rest of the decade building an organization with staying power, the eight-man-strong collective making up Hieroglyphics — hip-hop heroes Del tha Funkee Homosapien, Casual, Pep Love, Souls of Mischief, and Damian “Domino” Siguenza — returned in 2003 with the best record of their career. Full Circle is their second album as Hieroglyphics, after a freewheeling 1998 debut that saw the group delivering on all the promise of early-’90s classics like Del’s I Wish My Brother George Was Here and Souls of Mischief’s ’93 ‘Til Infinity. Anyone with even a grounding in West Coast rap knows that together they’re as great a team of rappers as Freestyle Fellowship or Jurassic 5, supremely able to flow with different styles and avoid the rough edges. What impresses about Full Circle is the breadth of productions and material; Hieroglyphics excel whether they’re floating an in-the-groove sample-driven joint (“Classic”), a schizoid, surreal psychedelic rap (“Heatish”), or even the organic R&B jam (“Make Your Move”), often with Detroit keyboard wonder Amp Fiddler and bassist Merlo Podlewski. – John Bush
