A very different sound to the first LP but still a great album.

I don't think RZA was ever nicer on the mic than on this album. He just killed shyt. Anyone who calls RZA wack on the mic has clearly never heard this album. His verse on The Night the Earth Cried :whew:

The sound of the album is more haunting than the tongue in cheek horrorcore of the first album. They sound like a completely different group. It might lack the energy of Six Feet Deep but it actually has more depth and content.

Dangerous Mindz :noah:

Twelve Jewelz :damn:

Still think Prince Paul should've had more beats. Don't know whats was up with that.

man i died after i heard rza on "the night the earth cried"

man this album was really slept on for real- i own every gravediggaz album even the ones after rza left- the group is too underrated

the first album is classic tho- "diary of a madman" n "1800suicide" were the sickest songs- i still have shabazz the disciples verse memorized from diary of a madman n rzas verse too

:salute: to the gravediggaz

Was a huge disappointment when I first heard it but I've grown to really love some joints.

Plus props to them for going in a different direction.

Dangerous Mindz :whoo:

agreed, I disliked it originally cuz it wasn't the same horrorcore steez from six feet deep, more of a mystical vibe. But on repeated listens I grew to love it

That album has one of my favorite songs of all time, elimination process. Man I used to obsess over that joint, like seriously. For some reason I was really into horrorcore so this album is a personal gem.

RIP to Too Poetic. I always show support to my fellow Trinis. And he was a Carib brother too. I still get teary eyed when I play this track :to:
