	EPMD : Rolling Stone
		– "They Want EFX." In an atmosphere of constant expansion, EPMD has proved, better than anyone else, that sonic consistency can...
		Once described as "the rap equivalent of a rock and roll garage band," EPMD (stands for "Erick and Parrish Making Dollars") got into the hip-hop business not to spout its political agenda, but to have fun and get paid.
		Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith grew up together on Long Island, home to rappers Eric B. and Rakim, De La Soul, and Public Enemy's Flavor Flav.

	EPMD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		EPMD was an American hip hop music group from Brentwood, New York, active from 1987 to 1999; one of the prominent acts in East coast hip hop.
		Unlike old school hip hop, which was first based on disco hits but eventually became more electronic, EPMD based its music mainly on lifting funk and rock breaks for samples, and helped to popularize their usage, along with Marley Marl and Public Enemy.
		EPMD returned in 1990 with Business as Usual and Business Never Personal two years later.

	BUZZSCOPE :: EPMD - Out of Business (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		EPMD's latest (and possibly, as the title suggests, last) album intros with a scratch-filled, Rocky-inspired anthem where E raps, "We won't stop rocking til we retire / Who says we out of biz, the devil's a liar / I'm Sammy Sosa, and P's Mark McGuire".
		The problem with the EPMD (or, "Eric and Parrish Millenium Ducats" as they're calling themselves) now is best illustrated on the "Rap Is Outta Control" remake (featuring Busta Rhymes, on the chorus only).
		EPMD is one of few who stayed in the game long enough to create a legacy, and for that they get mad props.

		E.P.M.D. On the surface, the sample-reliant productions and monotone rapping styles of Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith had little to recommend them, but the duo's recordings as EPMD were among the best in hip-hop's underground during the late '80s and early '90s.
		But a closer look reveals that the duo's rhymes were nothing less than incredible, simply under-valued because of their lack of intonation during delivery.
		EPMD also had a feel for a good groove, and created numerous hip-hop classics, including "It's My Thing," "You Gots to Chill" "Get the Bozack," "Strictly Business" and "Rampage."Though EPMD's hardcore style influenced the urban-oriented gangsta '90s, Erick Sermon (aka E Double E; b.

		EPMD at that time embraced and personified that gully hip-hop aesthetic of tough lyrics, baggy fl jeans, fl tims and fl hoodies.

		EPMD's 1988 debut, Strictly Business, like the Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique, was recorded during the clearance-free sample heyday, and we're all a lot better off because of it.
		As I've said before, EPMD is one of the most influential groups of all-time, and this record really set the pace for two amazing careers in rap.
		EPMD's STRICTLY BUISNESS is not only their best album but also one of the best albums of all time, in any genre for that matter.

		EPMD's reunion album Back in Business may not be entirely successful, but it's far from being an embarrassment.
		It seemed that EPMD had not evolved beyond merely talking smack about any imaginary MCs that dare cross their path.
		They bring their hip-hop longevity, underground sound, and old school rap flow to this CD which is typical EPMD; uncut funk samples and a very non-commercial sound.

	EPMD :: Out of Business :: Def Jam (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Despite the fact that EPMD manages to resurrect a few moments of their old heyday with a cover version of "Rap is Outta Control" featuring Busta Rhymes and a so-so "Jane 6" sequel, any buzz this caused is killed off by the insulting second disc.
		As if we didn't already know that no EPMD "Greatest Hits" album could really be captured in under fourteen songs, insult is added to injury by the fact that Erick and Parrish +REMAKE+ their classic hits -- apparently because they couldn't license the original songs from the Sleeping Bag catalogue.
		They should not insult the intelligence of EPMD fans by offering us half-assed versions of their classics instead of the real thing.

	SoundCircuit.com: Artists: Profiles
		EPMD had become the Def Squad and the Hit Squad, with a beef between them, the classic LPs by EPMD became mediocre to wack solo albums by Erick Sermon and PMD.
		It was a typical EPMD album, with guest appearances from the whole 'Squadron' (Redman, Keith Murray, Das EFX and new boys Nocturnal), a Jane episode and no 'message', just a load of fun tracks.
		Whether they will now make another album every year as they did in rap's 'golden' era remains to be seen, buit since Erick has already recorded a new LP with Redman and Keith Murray, I doubt EPMD will ever be the same as they were.

		But to the duo's credit, this is no half-baked reunion -- EPMD is back in business for real.
		EPMD's formula is simple: Sample from classic -- some may say overused -- super-fly tracks, throw in enough bass to shake parts off a car and then rock the mike.
		The layoff hasn't seemed to affect Erick and Parrish's chemistry: They still kick it in a way few duos can match, flaunting their Long Island-accented, hard-as-nails style.

		EPMD, made up of vocalists Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith, burst on to the hip hop scene during the boom years of '87 and '88.
		One of the first groups to introduce a new style of East Coast party joints, the Brothers From Brentwood rode the successful line of classic laid-back rhymin' over slammin' samples (including Zapp & Roger and early p-funk rhythms) during the days of political groups such as Public Enemy and X-Clan.
		After releasing his first LP and the hit single, "Letterman", K-Solo kind of fell to the wayside before reappearing with Redman in '96.Even after several disses on wax, the beef between Erick and Parrish has apparently been settled, as EPMD prepares to release their comeback album Back To Business.

		You never heard EPMD in the pop top 20, but every wack song that Puffy releases whether it's his own, a group he produces, or a remix hits the top of the charts.
		You assume that I was going to make the argument in their defense that they are creative and Puffy isn't.
		What I do like about EPMD is the style of rhymes they had.

		So it seems that EPMD (Eric Sermon and Parrish Smith Making Dollars) is back "with another sequel to hip-hop".
		The New Jersey producers finally got over their feud and reformed to launch the superb "Back in Business"- maybe we ought to thank the IRS for being such a strong incitation to creativity.
		EPMD has always favored efficient Hip-Hop, based on raw street-funk, sampled loops and down to the point lyrics and they do it all over again here.

		Most of the tracks are in-house productions (either Sermon or Smith), a true rarity in the '90s hip-hop world, and they lend the album a continuity sorely lacking considering the legion of rap albums that feature a different producer for each track.
		And as the duo has done for ages, EPMD does more than just trade in familiar riffs to drive the tracks on Out of Business.
		Despite the title, in the liner notes EPMD dispels any rumors that this could be the duo's last album.

		EPMD's Out of Business is rather like their previous effort, Back in Business--agreeable, accessible, but deathly unexciting.
		EPMD can always be depended upon to put out albums with a string of cool club hits and mild filler--they invented that formula on both Back and Out.
		I've always been a fan of EPMD because their rhymes make sense and they talk about stuff that is easy to relate to.

	The Audio Revolution Record Review of EPMD
		The question on the minds of all rap fans is always, 'yeah, that was then this is now.
		What this record reaffirms is the fact that EPMD never had much to say and that the buying public, myself included, doesn't really care.
		EPMD's never been about either end of the spectrum from day one, they are their own b-boy niche and this album is just another example of why they never should have broken up.
