5.0 out of 5 stars Have Murs, Scarub & Eligh EVER Come This Tight?, January 31, 2008

This quite possibly may be the best starting point in the enormous catalog of the Living Legends crew. Why, you ask? It's a straight banger. Full of memorable beats, ill flows, and unmatchable chemistry. You don't have to try too hard with this record. From front to back, this album is straight goose bump producing entertainment. There are zero guest rappers here, which keeps it focused. Murs, Scarub & Eligh have all been around since the mid-90s, and all have notably excellent solo careers. And these guys play off each other excellently. Murs has had the most popular career out of the three, bringing more of an average guy mentality to the mix, while Eligh & Scarub are a little more on the abstract tip. It makes for an exciting mix.

The alluring part about this formula is that all three emcees seem to be trying to out-rap each other. All three emcees are on point, delivering flows with speed, precision and hunger. It's a true display of skill. Honestly, I've never heard Eligh rap as fierce as he does on "Halo", and I've never heard Scarub drop heat like he does on "Nautilus", and Murs is back spitting lyrics faster than he has in years. They take the time to slow things down a touch on the astrology flavored "Signs" and the lovely "And If". Eligh produces every track in the bunch, and solidifies his spot as one of the best producers in the game.

Overall, if you have yet to discover the wealth of talent the Living Legends have to offer, look no further than the 3 Melancholy Gypsys. This is one crew that proves that hip-hop is not dead. Don't miss out on one of the best from the west.

Everything you can expect from some of the most talented cats from the LIVING LEGENDS crew. Pure hip hop enjoyment. Eligh's production has shown growth and remains high on the nod factor. Another high point would be that the lyrics are written down in the booklet, which is simply dope especially now-a-days w/all these critics in hip hop. Hope this was helpful. Peace!

My lord if this isn't the best music album ever made it damn well is the best hip hop album ever made. 10 Years in the making, these guys got together in Hamilton High in LA and have been doin other projects since, they finally got together to make this one and it is a true gem of an album. Eligh's production is simply amazing on every track, he has turned himself into a musical production genious and crafted a masterpiece for the 3 of them to destroy, which they do. I really can't say enough just how beautiful and crackin his beats on this album are, and his flows made me jump out of my seat. On their own they are dope, but finally together they are something to behold in hip hop. I shouldn't have to tell you about Murs cause he's everywhere, if you listen to underground hip hop you already know about him, but he is on point on this album. Scarub rips every verse the way he does, hella off beat and hella dope. DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS ALBUM!!!! you are only cheating yourself, if you're a legends fan then you should be ashamed of yourself and get on the caravan before it's too late. This has been in my top 2 cd rotation since it came out and was all I listened to for the first month after it's release. GET THIS ALBUM!!!! best songs...all of them :) peace
