i didn't like this album as much as the first one. it still had some good tracks. i'll admit though that i hit the skip button more than i should whenever i listen to it. still, some of the RZA's stuff on here is classic!
-
Re: Gravediggaz-The Pick, The Sickle And The Shovel
7.5/10 not as gory as the first but still good
-
Re: Gravediggaz-The Pick, The Sickle And The Shovel
10/10 absolute classic, can't think of one skippable song
-
Re: Gravediggaz-The Pick, The Sickle And The Shovel
wu classic.. i prefer this style over the first gravediggaz album.. that horror conscious sound
-
Re: Gravediggaz-The Pick, The Sickle And The Shovel
i just bought it the other day....was hard to pikc between this and Nightmare in A Minor
-
Re: Gravediggaz-The Pick, The Sickle And The Shovel
I'm still getting used to this album. Despite what you may hear, its not anywhere near 6 Feet Deep. Lots of knowledge being dropped, but its not as banging as most Wu classics. Still a great cd. Da Bomb and Pit of Snakes are awesome songs and the best two on the cd.
-
Re: Gravediggaz-The Pick, The Sickle And The Shovel
hell yeah i love that album, not an absolute classic, but i real good one...the sounbd is raw and the rhymes all skilled...
-
Re: Gravediggaz-The Pick, The Sickle And The Shovel
Amazing album...as good as they come...
i personally like the absence of Rza on Nightmare in A-minor to this album...
1. 6 feet deep
2. Nightmare in A-minor
3. Pick, sickle n' shovel
4. Gravediggaz Demos
5. Tricky vs. Gravediggaz
6. 6 feet under
that's how i see their discography...
-
Re: Gravediggaz-The Pick, The Sickle And The Shovel
the best gravediggaz album
-
Re: Gravediggaz-The Pick, The Sickle And The Shovel
I can't decide between this and 6 Feetdeep
This was alot cleaner
i.e Wu-tang Forever
6 FeetDeep
i.e Enter The Wu-Tang 36 Chambers
definite Wu-Fam classic
Unexplained is crazy production by Poetic
one of his best tracks

Gravediggaz - The Pick, The Sickle and The Shovel
http://www2.arnes.si/guest/ljzss46/graveyard/cover.jpg
Without a doubt one of my favorite albums of all time. Period. Produced by RZA and the Wu-Elements, 'diggaz second album had a different sound than the first. I think that this one sounded more cohesive than the first. Sure, the ridicously dope horrorcore theme was dichted but they replaced with something even more frightening, reality. Psychological lyrics instead of raw horror. Genuis! The painted a picture on this album that was sometimes nervous, even paranoid but so damn real. This is what hiphop artists need to do when they drop another album, take it to another level, goddamned! It's a classic! Yes the c-word some, you herbs. Let me spell it for you C-L-A-S-S-I-C.
http://www2.arnes.si/guest/ljzss46/graveyard/cover3.jpg
Too many gems to choose from, but the ones that stuck the most to me were Dangerous minds, They never come back, The night the eart cried & What's going on. And offcourse, Twelve Jewels the track that had/have some of us still grinding for that "Cure" album. But its Dangerous Minds whom have me picking my copy and blaze it (which I do really, really often)
The production is supberb but its the lyrical content which takes it to there. For those who are too young (it's okay, we all been there) or those just slept on it (you fucks), exhibit A
As nuclear dropped out of the sky, killin birds and to fear
For hydroperoxide and sodium oxide, deep down outta basements
Fish turned lopside and upside down from atomic facelifts
Through the blackness I saw John the Baptist, on the atlas
Holdin the masters to my Psalm under his arm
But long before I even wrote 'em, 23 elders each wrote me a Psalm
And placed them within my motor neurons
It contained the aproximate date of the Apocalypse
Deposited in scripts of the 20th century prophets
The clock ticks, tick, tick, tick
Upon the land borders, I count down the manslaughters
Military camcorders under ocean waters
Red October causin fish to grow arms, legs, tits, and double heads
Mutating the eggs as the radiation spreads over the water beds
I watch Mother Nature as she bled
Grym, was placed in skin casing to being lacing hyms through the basement
Won't be no escapin from the South to the North
Where you run ten paces and your face is fallin off
- Grymreaper - Repentance Day -
Exhibit B? Well, go buy/play this fucking album and stop sleeping on it!!! Haha.. am not kidding!

Re: Gravediggaz-The Pick, The Sickle And The Shovel
i give this piece 8.5
i cant stand the fairytales song, the beat sounds terrible like they jus slapped some wack ass way over done sample over a drum loop.
other than that i love it.
-
Re: Gravediggaz - The Pick, The Sickle and The Shovel
RZA at his lyrical prime right here. There a lot of tracks that make you go "WOW!" and then some that have lazy production. Great album though prolly 7.5 or 8 out of 10.
-
Re: Gravediggaz - The Pick, The Sickle and The Shovel
AMAZING ALBUM!!!!
agree with everything in the first post

Re: Gravediggaz - The Pick, The Sickle and The Shovel
-
Re: Gravediggaz - The Pick, The Sickle and The Shovel
I prefer this one to 6 feet deep: very good album. 8/10
-
Re: Gravediggaz - The Pick, The Sickle and The Shovel
i just got it like a week ago, so right now i still like 6 feet deep more. but i am starting to feel it the more i listen to it.
-
Re: Gravediggaz - The Pick, The Sickle and The Shovel
another winner in the land of dogs dinner. this and heavy mental had me waiting for the spaceship
-
beats: (I thought INTRO and OUTRO had 10/10 beats...) 91%
Lyrics: 90% (6feetdeep had better)
overall 90.5%
9/10 dope but not classic

exactly it's waaaaaaaaaaay better than any other grave diggaz album 10/10
-
Slept on album. This is crazy because this is EXACTLY opposite of the first album.
8/10
-
No matter how many times I try tolisten to this it still sucks. This has to be one of the worst albums ever made. It's absolute shit. I can't believe they went from 6 feet deep to this. I give it a 1/10 they only get a one cause the cover is cool looking. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS!

i'm sorry i know it's just your opinion but your a fuckin idiot u have no understanding of real talent if u give this a 1/10 that's a disgrace
this album is way better and more mature than any other gravediggaz album
how the fuck can u give this a 1/10
if u give this a 1/10 then what the fuck do u give nelly's "country grammar" get the fuck outta hear
it is THE BEST wu-fam album ever released
1 of the best wu albums ever released
1 of the best rap albums ever realeased

1-the best WU-FAM album ever released is 6 feet deep not this garbage album
1-again 1 one of the best wu-fam albums ever released is 6 feet deep not The Prick the tittle and the suckle.
1- for the third time 6 FEET DEEP FUCKER.. The pick sickle shovel is SHIT.
***disclaimer this is all my opinion and not fact. An d i hate that asshole nelly but atleast that album sounded better musically than this.
