Also, I dig both of these tracks.

I'd say Epitaph currently has an odder range than most majors.

Ah, but what about American Recordings? It doesn't get much weirder than having Slayer, the Geto Boys, Andrew Dice Clay, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Donovan, the Black Crowes, and Johnny Cash all on the same roster.

True Dat.

I liked My Life a lot actually but the beat was certainly predictable.

Still, can you really expect every KRS album to have beats as great as Return of the Boom Bap? I'm just happy he's coming out with another album.

KRS live is unlike anything else I've ever seen. I saw him at The Metro in Chicago and he owned the crowd. He was god of that theater.

biddy-bye-bye!

The bridge is over, the bridge is over, hey, hey!

you're pretty wrong about that, idiot.

Go to Arby's

He's had some pretty religious stuff since the BDP days. Just listen to "Jah Rulez."

"BDP strong, cause JAH is the strength
BDP long, cause JAH is the length
BDP together, cause JAH is the link
We a just arise, while the negative sink!"

"We are not a front and, we are no fraud
Every hit record comes straight from the Lord
We live in jail cell and we live in shelter
If you help yourself, well JAH will help ya
Look to no man but love everyone
Stand on your own and work til you're done
Follow the commandments that Jah set forth
Cause manmade laws, made man lost"

Yeah but then he has songs like "Higher Level".

You wanna know how we screwed up from the beginning?
We accepted our opressor's religion
So in the case of slavery it ain't hard
Because it's right in the eyes of THEIR God
Where is our God, the God that represents us?
The God that looks like me, the God that I can trust?
A God of peace and love, not mass hysteria
I don't want a God that blesses America
I could never really vote for the devil
Let me take you to a higher level...

Title, take the title from the Bible we can get there
Rip the title from off the front of the Bible, God don't live there
Too many inconsistencies, too many mysteries
Picture the Pope and the Vatican, laughing and drinking and singing and
Kissing me
I stand with God whether I'm paid or whether I'm cryin

Kissing me
I stand with God whether I'm paid or whether I'm cryin' broke
I like to ask these politicans would Jesus vote?
The way we view God is a freakin' shame
Church is to blame
We trust God, but bomb Hussein
We simply lovin' the scripture
Same scripture that whipped 'cha
Sooner it'll hit 'cha
Religion's gettin' richer
With that European version of Christ made into a picture
Our society's gettin' sicker, and sicker, and sicker...
Like liquor, we are God-Intoxicated
Not to the true God, but the one the government created
The same governments tellin' people to vote
I pray to God because the people have lost hope
You either vote for the mumps or the measels
Whether you vote for the lesser of two evils, you vote for evil
Politics and God are not equal
But the education if you don't guard, is really lethal
People have more respect for a holy book
Than they do for a cow on a meat hook
Belivers of Jesus be denouncing Satan on every level
But every Halloween they're dressin' like devils
I pray to you for the light you might give them
Mother make them know that you're livin' with them
You begin them and end them in silence
Frankly, if they knew you, they would understand violence
I pray to you for the Pope and the Vatican
Have mercy Mother, cause I know that you're mad at them
The White Jesus deceived us awhile ago
And Pope Julius the Second paid Michaelangelo
I know this happened in 1519 yet
This is the image we can't seem to forget
Vote for God, don't vote for the Devil
Let me take you to a higher level...

if you guys are into Trevor Keith and his latest endeavours, you should check out a band SECONDS TO GO from London Ontario, Canada whom he signed.

They have an album coming out on Antagonist this coming August and it is most certainly something to look forward to.

pretty dope, get into it.

The music is rad, but the vocals sound EXACTLY like that Claudio dude from Coheed.

That's a bad thing.

Christ almighty tell me that's a joke. That can't be real...please don't let it be real.

You haven't heard Fishscale

God bless Tony Starks and his continuous coke references...

(SC is his best work though, I'd say one of the top 20 hip-hop albums of all time)
