This duo founded by EPMD by the name Das Efx had so much originality that it actually may have hurt a more prosperous career as the entire industry began mocking their style. The debut, Dead Serious is comprised of nursery rhymes and a stutter step flow that originated from this LP. Maybe thought of as a gimmick, but this was East Coast hip-hop in its purest form. Filled with simple funk samples that acknowledged the flow. The fulfillment is in the orthodox lyrics by Crazy Drazy and Books.

How could u give this album anything but 5 stars, mics whatever. This is the most original and imitated group and album of all time! IZ u STUPID?!! Man! I played this album over and over and over... These dudes should definitely be in the Hip-Hop Hall Of Fame! And don't listen to fools that say some of these tracks are wack. There are no whack Das Efx songs anywhere in the world. Buy this one. Definitely.

Das Efx was one of the most immitated artists in the early 90's.
Lyrically and style wise they were as original as it comes.
Even there look was unlike any other. There are a few filler songs on this cd. But They want efx, Microphone checker
and Straight from the Sewer are 3 classics.Even the videos
for each of these songs stand the test of time in there originalty.

And if your tired of rap songs and videos looking and sounding
like commercials for whatever products these new artists are endorsing. Then You will love Das Efx. From the parka jackets to the gas masks there is nothing pretty about these cats. This
is music for men made by men before all these artists catered
to females (ll.cool j) .

All in all this is a classic album. That no real hip-hop fan
should be without.
