		Bio: One-half of the legendary hip-hop duo EPMD, Erick Sermon was also among the genre's most prominent producers, deservedly earning the alias "Funklord" with his trademark raw, bass-heavy grooves.
		In the years to follow, EPMD emerged as one of rap's most vital acts, their hard-edged beats and Sermon's mumbled, monotone delivery becoming a great influence on the burgeoning gangsta movement.
		In early 1993, EPMD disbanded, and Sermon soon resurfaced with his solo debut, No Pressure; he also became a sought-after producer and remixer, working with everyone from En Vogue to Blackstreet to Shaquille O'Neal.

	Erick Sermon: Chilltown New York - PopMatters Music Review
		But Sermon has not got the "next level shit" going on that's made Ghostface Killah the most important MC in New York since the vacuum left by Jay-Z. His flow is trustworthy and familiar, and I've always loved Sermon's style for its honorable consistency, for not being another shape-shifting producer like Timbaland.
		Sermon's remembrances of bling's past have him a little grumpy about the glaciers of ice the youngsters are tugging around without paying some dues.
		Sermon's beef with fame as a producer, where he's always shined brightest, is that he has to put up with all the little stoners who pay his bills when a Funklord Productions credit appears in another unit-moving debut's liner notes.

		Sermon balances his ill regard for sell-out rappers with optimism.
		Lusty conquests and their consequences (remember Jane?) continue to play a major role in Sermon's life, from the sibling surprise of the hilarious "The Hype" to the irresistible "Safe Sex," the b-side of "Stay Real." With its whiplash loop and snug chorus, the track is bound to get heads nodding -- and then thinking.
		Erick has kept up the musical innovation on his solo debut by utilizing Colin Wolfe, the musical mastermind playing those serpentine keyboards all over Dr. Dre's the Chronic.

		The beat however is nicely simple, with Erick getting more serious lyrically, what seems appropriate for someone that's in this game for some years, as well as on this planet living his life for some years.
		Now this review was written by someone that grew up with Erick's music, and as I acknowledge his legendary status, I at the same time expect nothing but legendary material from him.
		While I can still bounce to this and see the entertainment value in it, Erick is falling short in remaining one of the leading artists, that paves the ways, rather than filling the same holes.

	Erick Sermon - Audio samples, biography and discography from Bands on Demand Hip-Hop guide on UGO
		The co-founder of the acclaimed gangsta rap group, EPMD, Erick Sermon was a major force in rap and an accomplished producer in his own right.
		Sermon's latest album, 2004's Chilltown, New York, found the rapper in high form, still able to lay down tight beats and pull in some high-profile friends for guest slots.
		Everything became compressed when Sermon stepped up to the mic, and his conversational style, while he was laying out provocative and confrontational rhymes, had a way of disarming fans and bringing them into his circle of trust as if he were using the recording booth as a confessional.

		Against the dreary MIDI brass and pale keys of "Home", Sermon drifts from one critique to another, boasting that he's one of the last old heads yet to be snared in gilded web of commercial hip-pop: "You won't hear the bling or the champagne.
		What separates Sermon from his pedantic underground counterparts who hopelessly eschew the mainstream with an unwavering (and often obnoxious) conviction is that he treats his genre as a fallen and commodified art, yet still acknowledges its beauty and potential.
		Filling the Kanye-inhabited space between mainstream and underground, Erick Sermon further blurs the line by adopting the timeless ethos of sniping sucka MCs while still opening his doors to a polished commercial thump.

		There’s crews, then there’s the Def Squad, the wild bunch that is Erick Sermon, Redman and Keith Murray that are hip-hop’s supreme dream team.
		Masterminded by EPMD legend Erick Sermon, the Def Squad’s origins can be traced to the dissolving of The Hit Squad (K-Solo, Redman, Das EFX) shortly after Sermon and partner Parrish Smith parted ways in 1992.
		Friends (both Redman and Murray lived with Erick at the outset of their careers) as well as both bomb mic wreckers and celebrated producers, the Def Squad demonstrate a chemistry few other crews can claim.

		The problem with the album lies in the fact that I would rather listen to the Def Squad remix, because, as usual, Erick Sermon is not very lyrically blessed.
		The relative lack of guests on this album is both a blessing and a curse.
		Erick does a good job of stringing songs together and creating a coherent, listenable album.

		After innocently fiddling around with some old, unreleased Marvin Gaye lyrics, Sermon ended up fashioning a perfect marriage of sampling with "Music," which ultimately spawned a renewed interest in the Green Eyed Bandit and led to his subsequent deal with J Records.
		Sermon's "Music" sounds like he realizes that he has only one life left (Lil Kim's sparse appearance on "Come Thru" is included merely for name-recognition only).
		Yet, the script is then flipped on the gospel-tinged "The Sermon" (featuring R. Kelly), on which Sermon relays a feeling of abandonment and discloses how the phone stopped ringing when the hits dried up, though Sermon was sent stumbling to his corner for an eight count after the Erick Onassis debacle.
