Glad to know that Erick and Parish are still making dollars when everything from Circuit City to Saturn (the mediocre automobile, not the planet) have gone the way of the Labrador duck. As Ian Cohen points out in his Pitchfork review, their last jaunt is surprisingly enjoyable, particularly this Method Man-aided ode to invincibility. Of course, it doesn’t explain EPMD’s inability to crack the Billboard 200, but hell, these guys made “Crossover”/”You Gots to Chill”/”You’re a Customer” et. al, so if anyone deserves a free pass for doing Ron Artest numbers, it’s these two.

3 straight posts with which I don’t disagree! John Legend’s sappy, Madlib’s great, EPMD’s greater… can’t argue with any of that.

Was totally unmoved by that song…
