This ep along with their second street level were the last of the current albums that I bought together. The first beatnuts album I got was stone crazy which I bought after hearing one of my favourate tracks of all time off the books, but with that album I was introduced into the crazy smoke filled world of psycho les and ju ju.
This debut album which also featured a third member fashion now known as al tariq is a great example of what early new york rap was about, The beatnuts are producer/dj's first and have a great knowledge of crate digging which enables them to use samples which at the time (92/93) were not that known and they were able to create some nice gritty beats which serves their style very well. Their rhymes can come across as typical hollow raps but if you listen closly you will realise it is all done tongue in cheek which is definatly a good thing. A great straight to the point full of nonsence album of early ninties rap which was made during an era when most hip hop albums could do no wrong, buy it.

The first time i heard the album, my boy had lend me the promotional ep, on cassette. I was like these tracks are off the hook.Especialy "WORLD FAMOUS" and "STORY". I recomend this album to any body who wants to hear the hottest,spanish,boricua rap group of all time. A CLASSIC ..... POINT BLANK... FIVE STARS...

The Beatnuts first release is this amazing EP, Intoxicated Demons. The album is full of tight beats and the MC's Juju and Les are on point with their rhymes. "Psycho Dwarf" is a brilliant song that explains the band's philosophy on life. "World Famous" is a classic braggado and "On The 1 + 2" is a great track. Intoxicated Demons is a great introduction to a heavily underrated hip hop band.

There is NO fronting on this EP.This is the debut of one of the greatest damn rap groups of all time-the buckwild boriquas from Corona,Queens! Every song is on hit-particularly World's Famous,Reign of the Tec,hey it's good back to front,yo!Cop it,and trust,Beatnuts are gonna blow the hell up this year.If the rest of their new joint is as hot as what I've heard,than we got a classic right heah!Peeeace.

Hip Hop producers, The Beatnuts, debut with their EP, Intoxicated Demons, which is really short and to the point. The humorous trio (JuJu,Psycho Les, and Al-Tariq aka Fashion) are really on point with the production here as a starting point. Lyrically they have room to improve, but they do showcase what they have here on this EP right here.

Out of the 10 tracks on here, 6 of them are actual songs, and the rest are skits/interludes. There are a few interesting ones here like one of the singles "Reign of the Tec". Another hot song here is "No Equal" whereas they put a nice Rakim sample on the hook. One of the later songs "Third of the Trio" has a dope beat.

Songs like "Psycho Dwarf" and "Story" are good, but they don't hold as much weight as other songs here on this EP. The former has an uninteresting hook, while the latter uses a Beastie Boys sample very awkwardly.

Overall the album is great. If you are new to The Beatnuts, this would be a great place to start. Following this album would be their slept on full length album Street Level a year later. They would gain more popularity as years to come (mainly with A Musical Massacre). This EP is enjoyable and will be greatly accepted by those who are interested in knowing who they are. Peace.

This is the first CD I copped from way back. Great E.P. and always loved their sense of humor. Much love to the beatnuts.

Just one of those Boom Bap EP's... A superb listen from start to finish. The only way it should be done, No filler just straight hip hop music. Highly recommened for your collection. A+
