for all the true hip hop heads

AOTP (Army of The Pharaos) most recent album Ritual of battle is the best rap i've heard in a fuckin while. I used to consider them pretty good but now i'd have say they're right up there with wu tang.

has to be my favorite song off this album

 

Are Esoteric and Virtuoso still with them these days?

 

Love this album.

 

That video is a new take. A rap recording complaining about the mediocrity of rap.

.

 

esoteric is but not virtuoso
