Fantastic Vol1

Can't believe that people are dissing the production!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was bare cali weed bizness. This was lo-fi, this was hard to come by, this was pick up on a boot, on a mixtape vibez! For those that don't understand no explanation is possible; for those that understand no explanation is required. If people are after squeaky clean production stock, aitken and waterman can provide, if you're a groove, head funk kinda vibster then look no further.......just roll with one of the seminal Hip-Hop albums of all time!!! GENIUS!!

Another knock

I gotta agree with the first reviewer. Vocals are a bit to quiet. It's not a Jay Dee album, it's a Slum Village album. It just sounds like a bad mix no matter how good the vocals or the beats are and that brings everything down a notch. Just cause somebody is amazing does not mean you shouldn't question what you're hearing.

bwaaa ha ha

wow, can't believe the reviewer below is knocking the production of none other than the late great dilla. the production on this album kills it. yes the vocals are mixed lower than your average hip-hop album. you can bet it was intentional. if you like dilla, DL this sh*t now.

Can't hear this!

This is some pretty original and uncompromising hip hop, with really cool, stark beats. The problem is the production - this is without a doubt the most badly recorded rap album I've ever heard. The vocals are mixed so far down they get completely drowned out by the beats. You literally cannot hear any of the lyrics without a set of headphones. This makes for an annoying listen. Too bad, because these guys really have a unique style. With better engineering, I would have liked this disc a lot more.
