Brand Nubian- Everything Is Everything

Brand Nubian is easily one of the most slept-on groups of the 90's. Go down the list, and you won't find one subpar album. Not one. They started off as a politically conscious group preaching a disciple of Islam. After that album they became increasingly volatile and hateful, especially towards the ghey's (see Punks Jump Up To Get Beat Down). Even though sounds like a bad thing, the edgy rhymes proved to be a good thing, because it led to Everything Is Everything.
This was the third Brand Nubian album, and it consisted only of Sadat X, Lord Jamar, and DJ Sincere. Without Grand Puba and DJ Alamo, Brand Nub perfected the slow-flowin' gangsta. The production was phenomenal, and the vibe was one of thorough death rap.
Admittedly, this album is an acquired taste, much like the Gravediggaz or other feigned not-soft acts. Once you get a feel for Everything Is Everything, you will easily see it for the opus that it is.
