no offense to earthquake ofcourse, i am just saying.

Yeah, I don't really know jack about LP other than that the kiddies seem to like them. They did sell 600K copies of an album in one week this year, which is unheard of in a post Itunes world.

BUT.....

The Beasties were one of the truly transcendent groups of their time, and PB and Check Your Head rank as two of the representative classics of that era, imo.

EQ, you really should check out their old stuff. If you like Hiphop but you don't like it, then you sound like the kind of person who would eat the Beasties up.
