Here’s the difference between NY and New Jersey. Most rap veterans from the 5 boroughs look like they made just enough money off of royalties and Rock The Bells performances to afford a crib where they can store their sneaker collection and sit around all day eating cereal, maybe go back to school, get their degree and some kind of day job. El Da Sensei and Tame One of the Artifacts, on the other hand, are stalking the streets of dirty Jerse looking, if anything, hungrier than they did in the 90s (see above). I mean I get the feeling they gots to have it this evening. Seriously, this joint is tough, no backhandedness at all. This is off El’s The Nu World Remix EP, available on iTunes now. Get it.

KING EDSENSEI !!
lol dudes took it back with this video, damn hopefully they come out with that new ARTIFACTZ album.
check out the beats at http://www.soundcloud.com/sstretch68323
Hard to even think about what some of the contracts the artist made during that era. I was a fan of the Artifactz for sure…. Flow is dated but I like the energy
Yeah, man.. I TOTALLY feel you.. I mean, like.. Haven’t these guys ever heard of Auto-Tune? #HashtagRap? Haven’t they heard that boom-bap is “irrelevant?” SO DATED.
I’m a boom bap fan for sure. But the lyrics is what concerns me on here. They are obviously rusty on the mic. I imagine a lot of MC’s from that era hate the current sound of the music but most of them can’t just jump back in the game and make great music.
