<<Jack Spilberg: The Ill Advisor 06/26/2000 >>

There's a grip of fresh cuts bombing your ear-piece this summer on the underground tip. In this week's API report, we'll take a peep into the underbelly of hip-hop and discover the true innovators of the y2k.

Quasimoto: The Unseen

Fresh off Peanut Butter Wolf's label, Stone's Throw, Quasimoto drops his debut masterpiece. Co-Produced by the Wolf-man and Kut Master Kurt, the tracks on this cut are slamming. Quas rocks his unique lyracal stylings to jazzy underground beats in The Unseen.

Eminem: The Marshall Mathers

This cat is seriously deranged, mentally ill. Check this rhyme y'all"walkin a dead rotweiller dog with his head chopped off in a park hollerin at him cause the son of a bitch wont stop barkin." The beats are weak as hell on this lp, but Eminem's rhymes are so crazy, it's kinda funny to listen to. This album is comedy, this cat talkin a gang of shit about Backstreet Boys, Ensync, and Brittney Spears. Slim Shady, whatevs, I've got a hard time feeling this
album.

Dilated Peoples : THE Platform

Now this is what I'm talkin about, some real, off the hook, west-coast hip hop. Dilated Peops come correct in their first mass released bomb, The Platform. This wreckcord is jam packed with tasty treats including
collabarations with Tha Alkaholiks, B Real, Aceyalone, and Planet Asia. Buy this shit!

DJ Krush: Code 4109

This is a dope record, phat beats and smoothed out rhythms galore. Spanning from house to acid jazz to hip hop, Krush spins a dope mix. The album's tight, packed with tracks you can chill out to and a grip of body rocking cuts.
