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.

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".

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!

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.

Back in the days of Lee's and BVD'sI grew up deceived, by wicked enemiesMy lifespan began to dim in the errorWhen you can't even trust the man in the mirrorNow Gravedigga n****z receive my trustand like Christ, we walk among the thieves and the slutsI bring stress like skins on PMSThe street's a bloody mess, there ain't no EMFin sight my thoughts are to leave the slumsI hustle with beats and drums not keys and gunsMy feet are numb, as I walk my dogsI cut off the fogs with the Gravedigga swordsLife parole, as me and my man is violatedHookers are neutered and spay-tedSnakes are decapitated, and castratedN****z is lost your whole Ark is bein raidedShows today are hectic, n****z'll wreck shitLift off rounds and jet quickThis piece is gettin heatedCause a rush, a stampedinDevils are all defeated by the blood brothers

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.
