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

"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.

That's it.

I got it here: http://www.discogs.com/release/298388

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

Shit i hadn't seen del griffith's post. Sorry :(

Wanna see something that'll make you sick?
Stand in front of jets on the Gaza strip

Hilarious!

no problem, i'd rather zing like a man, than FP like a coward aka Neanderthal, I forgive you.

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

He's pretty reined-in on 6 Ft Deep, this is about as close to straight-forward hip hop as he got.
Agreed on Prince Among Theives!

This album is a masterwork

It sure is

I can remember being so sorely disappointed with the follow up, from a period when RZA was doing a few albums a week and somewhat spreading himself thinly. I can't remember if Prince Paul even had much input and didn't the gatekeeper die between albums? it wasn't particularly terrible - but the magic had gone.

Grym Reaper (Poetic) died, but that was after the second album. I never heard the third one.

ah, relying my dodgy old memory here.

def a let down but there's 4-5 tracks on it i really love.

Back in the days of Lee's and BVD's
I grew up deceived, by wicked enemies
My lifespan began to dim in the error
When you can't even trust the man in the mirror
Now Gravedigga n****z receive my trust
and like Christ, we walk among the thieves and the sluts
I bring stress like skins on PMS
The street's a bloody mess, there ain't no EMF
in sight my thoughts are to leave the slums
I hustle with beats and drums not keys and guns
My feet are numb, as I walk my dogs
I cut off the fogs with the Gravedigga swords
Life parole, as me and my man is violated
Hookers are neutered and spay-ted
Snakes are decapitated, and castrated
N****z is lost your whole Ark is bein raided
Shows today are hectic, n****z'll wreck shit
Lift off rounds and jet quick
This piece is gettin heated
Cause a rush, a stampedin
Devils are all defeated by the blood brothers

N****z
