User Reviews: Business as Usual

  • Overall:

    Better Cop It Before It Goes Out Of Prin

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 18, 2002

    This was EPMD's 3rd best album. It only had 1 bad song on the whole album. Ya'll true headz know about this one. Forget these DMX and Ja Rule fans. My favorite cuts are "Rap Is Outa Control", "Funky Piano", "Gold Digger", "Jane 3", "Manslaughter" and... "Rampage". LL Cool J ripped "Rampage"! Erick Sermon was sharp as a blade, he and George Spivey sport a high top fade. DJ Scratch always transformed and he cuts wit his lips. EPMD was the best group ever! Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Business as Usual

  • All Music Guide

    Business as Usual is an ironic title for EPMD's third album -- for in terms of production, it was anything but business as usual for the Strong Island rappers. While Strictly Business and Unfinished Business favored a very simple and basic approach to production consisting primarily of samples (many of them clever) and drum machines, the production is busier and more involved this time -- and even suggests Marley Marl. Unfortunately, the sampling isn't as clever as before. What didn't change was EPMD's relatively laid-back approach to rapping and a preoccupation with sucker MCs. Though not as inspired as its two predecessors, the album does have its moments -- including "Rampage" (which unites EPMD with LL Cool J), "Give the People," and "Gold Digger," a candid denunciation of "material girls" who exploit and victimize men financially after a divorce.

Biography

EPMD

On the surface, the sample-reliant productions and monotone rapping styles of Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith had little to recommend them, but the duo's recordings as EPMD were among the best in hip-hop's underground during the late '80s and early '90s. Over the course of four albums (from the 1988 classic Strictly Business to 1992's Business Never Personal), they rarel... Read more
