The Four Horsemen Appreciation

I'm a huge fan of Ultramagnetic MCs, and Critical Beatdown is an undeniable classic. But I was revisiting The Four Horsemen this week and realized that it never really got as much critical acclaim or spotlight that Critical did. I personally liked the change Ced Gee made in his delivery on this album. Who else rides for this album?!

    I ride.

    It doesnt deserve the same love a Crritical Beatdown though.

    Godfather Don took over the production duties here.

    Rhythm X is in fine form.

    Critical Beatdown is a f*ckin' MONSTER!! "Ego Trippin", "Ease Back", "Kool Keith Housing Things", "Give the drummer some"!!!

    Although it doesn't get or maybe deserve as much acclaim as Critical, it was most definitely better than Funk Your Head Up.

    Criminally underappreciated.

    I didn't hate Funk Your Head Up. I'm just saying that The Four Horsemen was a better album from beginning to end for me. But "Stop Jockin Me" was one of my favorites.

    Kool Keith is one of those MCs that I wish I could have a convo with. And in a supermarket?! Crazy. But that does sound like some Kool Keith stuff right there.

    One of my fave nineties albums - this did get a lot of love from heads when it dropped as far as I can remember - maybe not as far as sales or mainstream success but I dont think any of the ultra stuff achieved that

    one two one two and raise it up are classic 90's material, no doubt. I still drop these in the mix.
