Really was! Still is even! I didn't know who Killah Priest was until I saw the movie Ghost Dog and heard From Then 'Til Now and got blown away, been a huge fan ever since.

A little of topic but does anyone have a rip of the Wolf In Sheeps Clothing VLS?

From then till now was hip hop perfection imo

[Frank Drebin]

Y-Kim the Illfigure. Anyone got an instrumental album of his. Why can't people produce like this anymore?

Yeah it is, magne. Nothing else to say. Just totally agree.

[RADIOACTIVE MAN]

Still one of the greatest hip hop albums ever created.

one of those albums the original artist will never be able to top no matter how hard he tries

Tell you something interesting... most producers dont have a stash of all incredible beats. A lot of producers get that one or two amazing beats in their lifetime and then try catching up to them. In Wu, I worked in the studio with RZA, 4th and True. True was one of those producers who did not have an entire stash of just amazing True shit. When his beats made the final cut, you better believe they were incredible. But going through a stash of them for an hour, I heard some dope shit but not like a second Heaterz. Even with RZA, there was dope stuff, especially the recorded unreleased material, some incredible shit, but you could hear sometimes why they didnt make the final cut of something.

With 4th however, it was the opposite. I spent maybe 2 weeks in Steubenville at 4th Chamber studios and it was incredible. 4th had like 5 Soldiers Of Darkness beats, a bunch of Wu-Renegades songs, a whole second Heavy Mental album of stuff, I mean you heard the unreleased Wuki shit that finally made it out, imagine not having access to that.. 4th had so much incredible shit on ADAT and DATs that it's actually more depressing knowing about it, than not knowing what you missed out on.

I heard some unreleased Wakim stuff. It's ok, but not Mics Of Insanity, From Then Till Now stuff.

I bought Y Kim's cd from chambermusik that came out after that ridiculous big talking interview he did, and it was total shit. I don't remember a single thing about it. Not a fucking thing. Not even who was on it. I guess that sums it up.

ill always say it

4th disciple is in a league of his own

[Antonelli]

Cilva> What did he said about these beats ? Does he plan to release it one day ? Are they lost forever ? 4th is the greatest in my opinion.

[Rev Jones]

4th is the greatest in my opinion.

Preach!
