Def Jam, 1997. Very Good+ ... $4.99
From the LP that never made it out. "Mega Funk" is a freestyle over a bunch of beats being cut up (by Funkmaster Flex), which is quite nice. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record

Def Jam/Universal (Italy), 2002. New Copy (pic cover, reissue)... $14.99
The classic single! "X Gon' Give It To Ya" kicks of loudly but loose, a horns and a growly intro from DMX before falling into that steady beat and DMX balancing wild energy and on beat control. We paired with the equally huge "Party Up" (Up Here)" on the flip. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
(15th Anniversary pressing!)

A not-so-surprisingly (given the pedigree!) later EPMD effort, and a smartly-titled one to boot – here they are, living up to their substantial legacy with a pretty strong, and these days underappreciated set – still going strong in the latter half of the 90s!

Def Jam, 2005. Near Mint- 2LP ... $34.99
Time will tell whether the sophomore LP Late Registration will prove to be as revolutionary of a commercial force as College Dropout turned out to be – but it's a better album!

Pop culture baggage aside, this is some pretty mesmerizing stuff from Kanye West!
