GraveDiggaz - Nightmare in A Minor

Your thoughts? personally I love this CD, but what are your thoughts?

Personally I think this is the best Gravediggaz album and a personal classic. Poetic was in top form on the beats and on the mic. Love this shit!

I never heard this one. I really dig the 1st one and the 2nd one was str8 so is there a need for me to really check this one if the 2nd one did not move mountains for me?

It depends on what you like about Gravediggaz, but I'd rec this to anyone who likes either of their albums.

Rza is not on this one is he?

Nope, but Poetic made it on his deathbed, and it's the best work of his career.

I haven't heard this one, but without RZA's production I'd find it hard to believe that it's as good as 6 Feet Deep, which is a personal classic to me.

Nevertheless, I'll download it and then give a verdict.

If i remember correctly, RZA did next to no production on 6 Feet Deep. It was all Prince Paul.

Please double check facts before you talk about things KJ...you'd been doing so well latley.

Yeah you're right, Paul did the majority of the production. RZA only did 3 tracks but his influence is clearly felt on the album. But from what I understand, neither of them was involved with Nightmare in A-Minor. That along with SRP and Jeff endorsing the album leads me to believe that there's no fucking way that this is as good as 6 Feet Deep.

Right, because you're just being a cocksucker because you were proven wrong. At least give the shit a chance, asshole.

I already said that I would you fuckin flamer.

Well said.

So that wasn't prince paul on the intro... saying he was prince paul?

Anyway, Prince Paul and Rza do no production on here, but KJ, stop trying find underhanded ways to slight me or jeff, you come off looking foolish and ignorant.

this album is dope, True Master laces a few tracks, some other wu affiliates are featured on here, but all in all this album IMO is not touching their first TWO classics

Ok, I downloaded the album and listened to it. I co-sign Slang for the most part. The only difference is that I don't consider "The Pick, the Sickle, and The Shovel" a classic. More like 4-4.25.

But yeah this one's a decent effort, about 3.5-4.

It peaks and valleys for me but it doesn't too touch there previous classics. However Poetic was my favorite spitter in the group.

Co-Sign, I loved Poetic. May God rest his soul.

IMO, their second album (The Pick, the Sickle and the Shovel) is the better album. Both are near classics IMO. I can see how 6 Feet Deep is a horrorcore classic. Or just a classic I suppose. I like the direction they took on the 2nd quite a bit more. I also have not heard this (the newest) one yet.

Indeed. I think The Pick, The Sickle, and The Shovel is a classic as well...

Dope album, no doubt.

I could never get into The Pick, The Sickle, The Shovel the same as 6 Feet Deep. I came into it expecting another 6FD and was disappointed.

On 6FD they were RAW. (they even got silly for the hell of it, I felt like they having fun)

PSS, they went for a more focused and polished feel. They were trying to educate you more so this time around.

Yep, A-Minor is a gem. But has anyone heard their newest album 6FT.Under? Only Frukwan by himself. I don't know who'd produced it.

The sales of Gravediggaz albums ain't half bad.

6Ft.Deep-638,916
The P.S.S-515,840
Nightmare in A-Minor =164,966
6FtUnder-33,967 (this is good figuring no one heard of the album

6 Ft. Under is just Frukwan's Life CD repackaged I think...

Indeed it is SRP.

Frukwan said in a recent interview they might try to get a revamped project goin with Rza involved, Shabazz, Beretta 9, and maybe KP

Wu-International: Sure... Gravediggaz pretty much became just you and Poetic before his
unfortunate departure, fans still debate about it, RZA still talks about its possibilities in concerts, how close or doable do you think another Gravediggaz album is?

Frukwan: Already in motion, songs have been laid down. And we are looking forward to this Final saga of the Gravediggaz. With new members Kinetic 9, Shabazz The Disciple, 9th Prince, Killah Priest, Prodigal Sun and Alim.

And I'll say it again...GAY

whatever man, just cuz Poetic's not there doesnt mean they cant carry on the legacy with a new lineup

why wasnt it "gay" when Poetic and Frukwan made it without Rza and Paul, its the same thing man

No, it wasn't Paul and Rza's project, and they have countless other shit to do. Poetic had one fuckin group man, and that was Gravediggaz. I know this gets your lil symbol all stout, but they can do this and just call it something else. Clearly Frukwan just wants money, so he should try getting it another way...

Prince Paul was the one who originally put the group together

and i doubt Frukwan just wants to do this for money, Rza on the other hand probably does not, he actually did the BlackRoc project for free and hes not wrried abut his monetary situation

it can also be argued that Frukwan's only group was the Gravediggaz as well since Stetasonic broke up by the time they started

I just think RZA and Prince Paul don't have the time for it. Honestly.

You said you doubt Kwan just wants money and on the other hand Rza probably doesn't want just money. So did you mean that Frukwan DOES probably just want money?

Co-Sign, but The Pick, The Sickle, and The Shovel is still a dope album. I'd give it about 4-4.25 stars. 6 Feet Deep is a classic and among my Top 100 of all time though.

Different strokes...

I never bumped much Gravediggaz until I got The Pick, The Sickle, The Shovel. And I don't think I've spun my copy of 6 Feet Deep since I got it. lol

You need to spin that Pounds. 6 Feet Deep beats their sophomore effort on every level IMO.

You didn't understand KJ...lol. I have heard 6FD quite a few times. But when I got The Pick, The Sickle, The Shovel, I liked it so much I hardly ever touched 6FD again. So IMO...

The Pick, The Sickle, The Shovel >>>>>>>>>>>> 6 Feet Deep

I disagree and feel it's the other way around, but like Gary Coleman, Todd Bridges, and Mr Drummond....Different Strokes....
