Product Description
After having established himself by going against one of the greatest battle rappers of all time, Big Daddy Kane, Long Island native Keith Murray was introduced to the world on Erick Sermon s "No Pressure." In 1994 Murray released "The Most Beautifullest Thing in This World" and earned four mics in The Source. He quickly established himself as one of the most creative, smart, and often most violent rappers in Hip Hop. After being featured on the Def Squad cover of "Rapper's Delight" with Erick Sermon and Redman in 1998 and R. Kelly's "Home Alone", Murray exploded back onto the music scene in 2001 after being incarcerated, with an energetic, syllable-packed verse on "Fatty Girl." "He s Keith Murray" in 2003 was highlighted by crossover hits "Candy Bar" and "Yeah, Yeah U Know It." With the success of his last album which sold more than 13,000 copies in the first week and featured "Nobody Do It Better" with Tyrese and Junior, the 'Most Beautifullest Thing' is back with his sixth album, "Intellectual Violence." Twenty-five tracks deep, "Intellectual Violence" is smart violence from start to finish as Murray pens witty metaphors and complex word play backed by his crew L.O.D. On "Pen Life" he talks about his time in prison and listeners get an emotional look into his intellectual violence on "Anger." On the final cut, "Don't Hate Me Cause I'm Beautiful", Murray comes full circle addressing his title as the 'Most Beautifullest Thing' saying, "you can hate me cuz my whip's more flyer than yours / cuz your girl wanna give me her drawers... but don't hate me cuz I'm beautiful I'm nice like that." Keith Murray is just that, and on "Intellectual Violence" he solidifies himself as one of the nicest, most complex, and easily one of the most beautifullest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intellectual Violence, April 30, 2008

By	J. Scott - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I first saw that Keith Murray had a new album I thought, wow...already? None the less, i still ordered it about 2 minutes later. I was Kind of Skeptical because Rap-mur-pho-bia was good but I still expected more variety in his beat selection on that album. It was a great album for me cuz I just could'nt stomach anymore of that ringtone garbage.
Intellectual Violence Killed everything that came out so far this year. The beats fit Mr. Murray perfectly. Eric Serman's beats and Keith's visual verses are drenched in funk throughout. And consistant, and by consistant I don't mean stale. You'll know what I mean by the time you hit track 3. They're are 20 tracks listed on the back but 6 of them are very short, not annoying skits. I can live without the skits but I enjoyed every song on this disk.
My favorite tracks are: Every track that does'nt say skit
You can sample this album on Datpiff.com by the way

3.0 out of 5 stars Better than the last one, April 27, 2008

By	M. Benson "mathmatics" (Detroit, MI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Mr. Murray is back and from what i heard this, this album is a good buy for keith murray fans only. If you are into the south and only associate good music by ringtones and commercial rap this cd is not for you. You have to really be a def squad fan to appreciate this work. Murray's lyrics are worth the price of admission alone.
