It's quite good, but not amazing. He is a bit of a geek and has difficulty being critical of anything but the most batshit crazy stuff. Worth a go if you're interested -it has footnotes but is more gonzo than academic.

This made me lol on the train:

Cheers luka, I'm enjoying these a lot. Might have to watch Ghost Dog again, great film.

The astro-Egyptian mysticism makes me think of Sun Ra.

Beast of Burden

The track from Ghost Dog. An early Wu associate classic, to be sure.

Tasty Morricone sample.

KP in full psychopathic, dramaturgy mode on this early Sunz track. 30 Second Assassin, Hell Razah and Prodigal Sunn all on good form here too. Album, as a whole, was a bit disappointing, though, considering the talent on offer.

KP verse about 1.30 in.

Tracks you can't get on YouTube but are great include:

Maccabean Revolt from the View from Masada LP

KP's verse on the title track of GZA's Beneath the Surface LP

Edit: found the former...

Another good one you can't get on YouTube but can here:


KP in full dramaturgy, doom-laden Afrofuturist mode on second (and underrated, I think) Gravediggaz album
