I've followed EPMD from their debut album and have never been dissapointed. This is more of that same formula that has made them legends in the field of hip-hop.

EPMD DISPLAYS LYRICAL STORMS,BATTLE FORM.THERE ARE DUOS OUT WHO SELL MORE,BUT WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO DROPPING LETHAL LYRICAL STORMS,THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS.STRICTLY,UNFINISH,USUAL,PERSONAL,AND BACK TO BUSINESS.NOW IT IS OVER,OUT OF BUSINESS.THIS ALBUM IS VERY GOOD.THE E-DOUBLE AND PMD ARE THE DUO MASTERS AND SHOW WHY.THE BEATS ARE VERY GOOD BUT NOT AS DEEP AS A EPMD ALBUM.YOU HAVE TO GET THIS ALBUM.EPMD-THEY WILL BE BACK.

I have to agree with A music fan from Brooklyn. This was tight. I know my music. I followed them from the beginning. From what I recall there were maybe 1 or 2 songs that stranded far left. But overall It was tight. I'm glad to see old schoolers coming back out and showin these candy like here today gone tommorrow mc's how to do it right...

I like many EPMD fans were anxiously waiting for this CD to be released. Especially since "Right Now" and "Symphony" were just blazin', blazin' tracks. So since this is supposedly the last EPMD joint, I had to pick it up. "The Fan", "U got shot", and "Jane 6" were hot, but the CD drags other than the first 2 selections I mentioned. It seemed like a hurried release. Erick Sermon is by no comparison, THE MOST UNDERRATED, and maybe even most UNAPPRECIATED M.C. in the rap game. Yet even he has done better in the past. Hope we see a solo release from both Erick & Parrish in 2000!

It feels good to see EPMD still around . Keep exposing these kids to real hip-hop .

Once again, EPMD has managed to combine lyrical genius with that ill hip-hop flavor that so many artists lack these days. Unlike its title, EPMD's "Out of Business", will not be going anywhere but up. This group has continued to expand and blow up the spot once again. A must have for all true hip-hoppers. They're definately keepin it real, especially with their album-release hit "Symphony 2000" feat. the untouchable "Method Man". The combination is another platinum track... go 'head EPMD!

eric and parrish hold they own lyrically with some hott metaphors, but i just aint feelin they production on this joint. its not that they got bad beats but they sound 2 similar. symphony2000 with red n meth is a banger but i aint feelin this as a whole. definately not there best effort

house party is a real headbanger. pee has one of the best flows of all time. on hold me down e and p bring heat. cant sleep on pioneers, synphony, jane6,you got shot,etc. the funk just does not stop. the b-boys bring it once again.

This album is definitely more similar to "back in business" than their older stuff, but it's not as solid as back in business. The old west song doesn't work, but most of the rest is solid, the intro is tight. If you like this definitely get the greatest hits, or any of their albums, they're all good to a degree higher than most rap out there.

This album vividly displays how Erick and Parish lyrics will always get them a 4 or 5 star rating when they continue to follow their patented rap style. It's very simple for them to compile an album like this, and that is using the skills that took them to the top, rather than trying to make it sound different.
