| | Swollen Members Armed To the Teeth CD Swollen Members Discography of CDs
Like Lil Wayne, Vancouver's Swollen Members (Mad Child, Prevail, and Rob the Viking) know how to deftly scale the tightrope between the silly sexual lunacy of Luke and the wry wordsmithery of underground rappers such as Pharoahe Monch or Talib Kweli. The trio's 2009 offering, ARMED TO THE TEETH, zigs and zags from literate puffery to strip club insanity, as likely to casually toss in an obscure reference to '80s kid show THE GREAT SPACE COASTER as throw down a Wu-Tang-esque line like "raised by wolves, trained by gorillas." It's the versatility of Cypress Hill, minus the overwhelming cannibis haze, which makes the record a constant ear-opener.

Armed To the Teeth songs
 $9.29    (MP3 Available for Download)
Das EFX -- part of EPMD's Def Squad crew, which also included K-Solo and Redman, among others -- made such a wide breakthrough in 1992 with their debut album that their hit "They Want EFX" was even referenced in the lily-white teen serial Beverly Hills 90210. That Dead Serious could have that sort of broad impact and still retain its credibility within the underground hip-hop community says something about its appeal, which was considerable. But the album wasn't just appealing; it was also enormously influential, ushering in an entirely unique rhyming flow that influenced any number of rappers, established and novice alike. What exactly the duo is rapping about is anyone's guess. One thing is for sure: their lyrics are about as far removed from hardcore realism as they could possibly be, and although there are certain elements of boasting, it is so cut up and contorted ...

| | Main Source Breaking Atoms CD (1991)
Armed To the Teeth music CDs
$9.55 (MP3 Available for Download)
Main Source's debut album, Breaking Atoms, is one of the quintessential cult classics in hip-hop history. Underappreciated compared to peers like A Tribe Called Quest, Gang Starr, or even Brand Nubian, the album probably doesn't get wider acclaim because it was recorded for the ill-fated Wild Pitch label, and thus remained out of print for much of the time its reputation was spreading. Group focal point the Large Professor is a fine rapper, but the album's legend rests more on his production -- he debuts one of the most influential styles in hip-hop here, popularizing a number of now widely imitated techniques. Luckily, you don't have to know how to operate an SP-1200, or exactly what panning, chopping, and filtered basslines are, to appreciate the vibrant-sounding results. His intricately constructed ...

Even if Main Source's lineup had remained the same for the follow-up to Breaking Atoms, the group would've had trouble following it up. That's not all the group had working against it. Most significantly, in a very gutsy move, K-Cut and Sir Scratch opted to keep Main Source running after the ...
