| | EPMD Out Of Business CD EPMD Discography of CDs
This limited edition 2 CD set contains the complete OUT OF BUSINESS and a bonus greatest hits album.
EPMD has dropped its signature brand of hip-hop funk flavor on the world for over a decade. OUT OF BUSINESS is an album that recalls the pure uncut street flavor of earlier efforts from Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith. Tracks like "Pioneers," "Symphony," and "Check 1,2," help ensure that the dynamic duo of hip-hop will remain strictly entrenched at the top of the hill.
Produced mostly by Sermon, who creates a fusion of classic funk samples and today's hottest street sounds, OUT OF BUSINESS stands as reason why EPMD has had a decade of hits and numerous gold records. The pair spit verses like they did when they burst on to the scene in the late '80s, making OUT OF BUSINESS one of EPMD's deepest albums in years. OUT OF BUSINESS is also available with a special greatest hits disc that includes classic EPMD tracks like "It's My Thang," "Crossover," and "Big Payback."

Purchase Out Of Business CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Too Short Can't Stay Away CD (1999)
Out Of Business album
 $8.99   
Principally recorded at Oakland City Studios & Ant Banks Bad Ass Beat Lab in Atlanta, Georgia.
Too Short was 33 when Can't Stay Away came out in 1999, and for a rapper, that's old age. Many MCs have seen their fortunes decline considerably by the time they hit 30, although Short managed to have more longevity than most of his peers. The Oakland rapper had claimed that 1996's Gettin' It would be his last album, but obviously, he wasn't ready to give up rapping just yet. You won't find anything groundbreaking on this CD -- Short continues to combine sexually explicit rhymes with a relaxed, laid-back style of rapping and melodic, sleek tracks that recall the funk and soul music of the '70s. Many hip-hop writers argued that his formula had long since grown tiresome, and to be sure, Short is cheating himself creatively by being so predictable and not trying something different. Nonetheless, he still comes up with some infectious, catchy grooves here and there, and there are times when his off-color humor is still fairly amusing -- "Invasion of the Flat Booty Bitches" and "More Freaky Tales" are definitely good for a few laughs. ...

Out Of Business CD music
$15.69  
Principally recorded at D&D Studios, New York, New York. Includes liner notes by Chairman Mao.
Rarely do hiphop acts stand the test of time. But Gang Starr's fusion of the underground killer beats of DJ Premier with Guru's smooth vocal stylings has always stayed true to its game. FULL CLIP compiles Gang Starr's ten-year run of hits. One of the things you notice about the double-disk set, packed as it is with such ...

Out Of Business music CDs
$8.69
Recorded in New York, New York in 1956. Originally released on Prestige (7042).
All tracks have been digitally remastered from original analog master tapes.
Moondog's 1956 debut album clocks in at just 31 minutes, but what a passionately resonant and bracingly inventive half-hour it is! Moondog was known at the time as a blind street musician on the streets of New York City, but these compositions show him to be much more than that. They're melodically alluring, mixing a modernist's propensities with a classicist's ...
| | Hot Chocolate Very Best Of CD (2003) (Import) United Kingdom
Out Of Business songs
$7.35
The problem with Hot Chocolate is that the group's catalog is very uneven. More than that, there is a sharp descent from the fine rock-funk-soul-bubblegum fusion of the mid-'70s to the bland soft disco-rock sound of the '80s. This compilation gives the listener equal doses of each in non-chronological order, leading to a very schizophrenic and unsatisfying disc. For example, the super fine "Brother Louie" from 1973 is sandwiched by the tepid "No ...
