4.0 out of 5 stars Grimm did the impossible, July 7, 2006

This review is from: The Downfall of Ibliys: a Ghetto Opera (Audio CD)

He recorded this LP in 24 hours and much like the film "25th Hour" he did this whole thing right before he went to jail. This is very evident on many of the tracks on "Iblys." Dark, moody, sharp. Grimm's tounge spits venom as he faces the next hours, days and mounths ahead of him. This LP reflects a man falling from grace and trying to find himself... a single word, redemption. MF Doom execs the project and gets behind the boards on several tracks. Not an amazing album, but a dope album none the less.

mf grimm has never been even down wit gravediggaz. they had beef over the name. they are 2 completely different artists. mf grimm's 1st release was a solo title "SO REAPER" extremely rare( I have it), then he was on 3 jams wit KOOL G RAP, TAKE EM TO WAR demo and album versions and MONEY ON MY BRAIN. he was also on the KURIOUS album the jam BABY BUST IT. ALL the bomb. CHECK EM OUT

2.0 out of 5 stars 2.5 Stars Feels like an Ep, June 14, 2006

This album is so boring it ain't funny it has cool mello layed back beats that'll put you to sleep but grimm hardly even spits with passion his flow is too lazy and at times sounds like he's humming to the beats

You see the MF but don't even compare him to MF DOOM, DOOM is light years ahead of him. I only found about 7 decent songs which 4/7 had to do with MF DOOM rapping or producing the song "rainblood" , "foolish" "voices pt.0 & 1"

Other highlights are the dark stringy "teach the babies" using a creative concept of using a sesemee street character throwing out a letter of the alpha bet while grimm follows with a rhyme for the letter. "howl" & "break 'em off (intermission)" are about the only songs left where grimm spits with force on raw production.

Lazy album that feels like an EP you'll skip more then enough of the cuts on here.

5 stars = classic this by good god's green earth is at the bottom of the list on being classic 7 maybe 8 good songs. 2.5 stars.

download this or don't bother cop the M.I.C. album, Rodan's & Megalon's album and of course any MF DOOM.
