Gravediggaz' "6 Ft Deep" is the best album I've heard this year

2 Poetic - The Grym Reaper
Frukwan - The Gatekeeper
RZA - The RZArector (do you see?!)
Prince Paul - The Undertaker

1-800-suicide PWNZ.

His verse on "Mommy, What's A Gravedigga? (RZA Full Mix)" is fucking awesome. Like the part where he goes "You was washed in the blooooooooooooooooooooood of a lamb to be cleansed!" is cool.

"yo, we can wet up two cups of blood!"

Now on emusic. And even better than I remembered it being.

You know what I only just discovered and can't believe I slept on so long? Liquid Swords! What's weird is I stuck it on the other night getting ready to blow my non-muso pals' minds and they were all "I can't believe you never heard this before"!

"Freak the Sorceress" on whatever Gravediggaz 12" it is rules as well.

I've got a dbl 12" with a version of "1-800 Suicide" with totally different, Jim Jones inspired, lyrics too.

The Portishead remix of 'em is dull tho'.

Is this the same as the video version of the song? Because it has totally different lyrics which are less satirical and more anti-suicide.

I've never heard "The Reincarnation Of Freud" which is on this: http://www.discogs.com/release/136226

confront a alligator, let it eat you raw

Is this the gravediggaz jam session

This album is sublime.

BANG YOUR HEAD

Or be like Richard Pryor set your balls on fire ..

Gravediggaz got some votes from me, at least, in the ongoing Wu poll: THE POLL IS COMIN THROUGH, THE OUTCOME IS CRITICAL — WU-TANG CLAN — Artist Poll — Results

2 Cups of Blood is my jam.

If this wouldn't include "Bang Your Head", it'd be a perfect album. I always skip that track, cos the beat sounds so horrible, what were they thinking?! It's still better than any other album featuring RZA tho.

6 feet deep is 25 years old today...

wow hard disagree. its perfectly sloppy, very fitting on the album for me.

yeah i wouldn't change a thing about this record its perfect

I so loved this one at the time and 1-800 Suicide is a stone cold classic, where the fuck does 25 years go so fast?

During one of the roughest, most hopeless nights of my life, I got cute with myself and decided to listen to "1-800-SUICIDE" again. Uh, that was a bad idea. The sound of that sampled laughing became the sound of everyone who ever wanted anyone to kill themselves, ironically or not. Their voices became the sound of me laughing at my own pointless self-pitying, unable to escape the pointlessness, hating myself more and more for thinking what I was thinking what I was thinking. "You don't even HAVE any REAL problems, you fucking loser." Not exactly a helpful mindset to be in when you want to get out of that mindset.

I liked it when I first heard it, but the friend who played it for me the first time twenty years ago turned out to be a giant asshole, anyway. Dickwads like Tyler the Creator probably jack off to it.

Gimme Liquid Swords instead, that at least has your back.

yeah, I've never understood the appeal of this album. even at the time I didn't like it.

really good production by Prince Paul is the appeal

it does sound pretty neat on the ol' ears, that's true

lol, you don't half get some convoluted bollox on ilm!

Paul can be a bit much (Psychoanalysis, for ex.) Love Prince Among Thieves tho, that's an underrated masterpiece

fine album is it, not listened in years like.

this is a great album. bang your head is prob my fave track on it too.

never understood why shakey doesnt like this

it's true, it seems like the kind of thing I would dig, but somehow the lyrical approach is just off-putting to me. It's not funny enough to be taken as a joke, but taking it seriously just seems sad and morbid

i think it's pretty silly! and the production helps aid the silliness in a lot of instances.

You can't come back
No matter what you do when you fall in a death trap

I bought this album while I was part of a car pool to work. She usually slept on the drive.

And when my passenger heard "other rappers are flatter than a white girl's butt" she woke up briefly and said "he ain't wrong".

GUILTY

Suicide it's a suicide

I am always impressed by how well integrated the album's "true horror" elements are within the fun/camp/parody framework of the whole thing - reality keeps intruding into these songs in a subtle but persistent way which feels more horror than comedy-horror - sometimes the comedy elements are the point but other times they feel more like tools for getting to a deeper darker place

that KRS1 sample in 1 800 Suicide still sounds great. I was so in love with this album that I tried really hard to love their 2nd one as well and it just never landed with me.

BLOOD
BROTHERS
ALL IN TOGETHER

I’m having one of those days where I think the grym reaper performance on this album is one of the best of all time. Such a bummer he died young. Didn’t realize he was born in T&T
