Get goosebumps listening to this still and seeing all the real hip hop fans in the comments even to this day just makes me fuckin' smile. Seems like no one I show these guys to can truly comprehend or appreciate their craft. Literal Gods of the Mic.

So happ seeing these dudes still getting love in 2024. 🫡

[@FREEZINGWEAZEL]

These men are real artists. This is more than rapping, this is fucking poetry. They aren't just telling stories through spitting, they are painting pictures in the mind of the listener. Every line contains insane imagery, and yet they can still hold down relentless flows and multi-syllabic rhymes. Rap groups get no better than this.

Yoda Best sleeps the cousin of death line by far 👍

[@brandonl8545]

KDoubleU Music "sleep is the cousin of death." That part of the line they sampled from Nas' : NY State of Mind, the add on of body bags under his eyes was unreal though 👏

[@majkatisebanjagola]

These tracks are always great, where every rapper spits a few bars, it gives them a chance to deliver a short verse but one that is full of rhymes and awesomeness, and Rhyme Asylum does this best.

[@NEECHEE]

one of the first tracks, I heard from Rhyme Asylum... been hooked ever since..

[@SkarM_x]

"Turn the solar system to a newtons cradle when the planets align" Amazing!

Possessed was definitely the best lyricist in the UK, shame him/Skirmish and Psyclone aren't doing it any more. Both albums were classics, though my favourite was Solitary Confinement

Some of the best bars on this: "Yo, we get the ball rolling like Indiana Jones, So much willpower I’m lifting Atlas stones with fractured bones" - Possessed "Drain immortal life force from Dracula’s veins, Strapped in a straitjacket underwater, cracking a safe" - Possessed "In deep sleeps meat-racking my brain, My unconnected punch shatters Wolverine’s adamantium frame" - Psiklone "Only book flights for September 11th and rip the cancer from Constantine's chest to prevent him entering Heaven" - Psiklone "Unable to break the habit, I’ve been taking acid, Chasing dragons, inhaling gases through my nasal passage, A brigade of savage trained assassins as fast as shooting stars moving past surveillance cameras" - Plazma "We’re the things that go bump in the night, Sleep’s the cousin of death and there’s bodybags under my eyes" - Possessed "My only passion in life, to hold you captive at night, hack in your mind, implant an explosive tracking device" - Plazma "I’ll punch the Hoover Dam with titanium fists And stand in a tidal wave to wash away all my sins" - Skirmish "I use the Third Rail as a balancing beam, I’m high-jumping power lines with hammers strapped to my feet" - Skirmish
