5.0 out of 5 stars Legends that will live on, February 24, 2006

By	Alan Pounds "Minnesota Hip-Hop Fiend" (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This is my first real exposure to Grouch and Eligh, and I'm already kicking myself for ignoring the Living Legends crew for so long. Pure and simple, this album is fantastic. Grouch and Eligh possess a ridiculous amount of talent in the way of lyrics and delivery. One of the most alluring points about the lyrics are the fact that they aren't filled with an abundance of 10-cent words and battle rhymes. They speak out on real life issues. They compliment each other's flows beautifully, which plays off the production in an untouchable fashion. In turn, the lyrics sound fresher, and the lyrical topics are packed with original ideas.

The best way to describe some of these tracks is gorgeous. "Everafter" has a seriously addictive loop that blends perfectly with G & E's seamlessly unstoppable flows. "Just For You" featuring Basik MC & Bicasso, with guitar by David Goodlett boasts some pretty exciting head-nodding production. "Mr. President" has some interesting political commentary (obviously left-wing). I enjoy this lyric from the Grouch - "I don't want to wake up to a bomb in my backyard / Mr. President, quit talkin' for me / I shouldn't have to be 60 and flat broke / The way it set up ain't lookin' out for we". One of the most beautiful tracks on the album is the title track - "No More Greener Grass" featuring Pigeon John. DJ Epik's production is bumping and soulful, which compliments the addictive chorus. "Emotion" also remains a favorite.

Overall, there isn't a wasted track in the bunch. To sum it up, the album is very accessible, contains addictive choruses and hooks, but still manages to keep that west coast underground feel. Everything here is far from abstract. Just real music and real lyrics from real artists.

5.0 out of 5 stars elightened emcees from the west coast, July 23, 2006

By	eternal now "roejoerrer" (mankato) - See all my reviews

Check this out! Rappers who are elightened and intelligent that don't wear backpacks!!!! Amazing! West coast emcees Grouch and Eligh tear it up over pure west coast grooves and the whole time keep it in the realm of information, knowledge and good times. If your not familiar with Eligh, he is a very elightened and tight emcee who flows about everything from goblins to sitting by a lake meditating. All positive vibes on this album. The grouch is tight as well, seems a little more hardcore than Eligh, but they make a great team. Eligh has a somewhat avant garde flow that ranges from speedy to slow and the Grouch has a somewhat classic west coast flow. But don't expect lyrics involving gats, ho's and money, ice and cars, these lyrics are straight good times, contemplation and knowledge. Best track, Lake release, a song all about going to the lake to be isolated and meditating. The beats are a home made sounding, keyboard most likely. Both members of the Living Legends group, I personally feel that they are the best out of the group. Straight underground style and lyrics I can relate to. Worth the money, I recommend this album to anyone who loves tight hip hop with a west coast vibe.
