Eric and Parish must have been low on Ducats, cuz they're back with another one for the record books. "Don't call it a comeback", but it really is. After 9 years, EPMD picks right up where they left off. Hot beats, dope rhymes, and a'90s NY all-star line-up that keeps them sounding dominant in these uninspired days of Hip Hop. It's not even just they're line-up that is reminiscent of the 90's, but they're beats, rhymes, the whole album feels like it should have come just after "Out of Business", which was even a little past due when it came out. Tracks featuring Raekwon ("Puttin Work In"), Havoc ("What You Talkin"), KRS One ("Run It"), Redman ("Yo"), Method Man ("Neva Defeat 'Em"), Keith Murray ("They Tell Me"), and others are hard tracks. But, like before Eric and Parish really don't need any featured artists and actually might shine even more on their own tracks like the highlights "Roc Da Spot" and "Bac Stabbers". If a track named Roc Da Spot doesn't remind you of the mid 90's then you don't remember the 90s. This cd is type off the meat rack if you're down with the East Coast 90s rap style. Don't sleep!
8.5-9/10
