The Ghost of Jack Tripper
Top 2 group for me, along with and right after Tribe.
First 4 albums are untouchable classics.

Exactly
And I see discussions about best duos all the time with no mention of them.

I’m focused, you with the surgeon
My next EP MD: check the Sermon
You gon get this work 'til you fired, in a furnace
Calicoe got a casket for free; you gon’ earn/urn it
- Loaded Lux vs Hollow
EPMD’s impact
NWA came in and people created the false narrative that everything else in the 80’s was trash.
It’s like the Michael Jordan history revision in the NBA. That is players and people like ANT saying only MJ had skill.
But did they actually watch or in this case listen????
NO

Imo,.....
The best group material ever made consistently in rap ever.
Culturally before they patched up their differences. Individual divisiveness administratively and the outcomes.
Ruined the permeation of their legacy.
As they both had issues culturally at a time.
Whwre having g amy issue culturally was career damning.
Couple it with issues in migrating to jiggy rnb style sonic landscapes in the sales spike era.
Epmd just did not generate positive dialogue in the beginning internet or camera phone eras.
To have a gateway for younger generations.
Hence the disconnect in the current age.
When epmd is barely brought up. It is one of those old school if you violate you never come back based culture things. That has kindof help over for the most part concerning epmd. Yet when you look at the artist who have bucked the ol school banishment for culturally violating.
The nostalgia to see epmd mentioned.
Really is evident in these types of threads. Yet the disconect is so extreme.
It is difficult to create a gateway for epmd in the present and future.
.when if someone wanted to honestly have a template for how dope an album could be. The second epmd album is should be a serious point of study.
