What craziness? If you listen to his lyrics, that guy is DEFINITELY an NFP.

SO GLAD they reissued Breaking Atoms. Actually, seems like most of that Wild Pitch stuff is back in print (Lord Finesse, O.C., that first Gang Starr album).

I'm almost strictly golden age hip-hop. Kane, Rakim, KRS, and G Rap form my Mt. Rushmore of 80's MC's. But the early 90's is my favorite era. Showbiz & A.G., Organized Konfusion, Brand Nubian. Pete Rock, Large Professor, Premier and RZA would be my Mt. Rushmore of 90's DJ's.
