4 Mics

Production: Erick Sermon(9), PMD(5), DJ Scratch(1), Angel "8 Off" Aguilar(1)

Featured Artists: M.O.P., Busta Rhymes, 8 Off Agallah, 215, Redman, Method Man, Lady Luck

Erick Sermon and PMD come together again for Out Of Business their last album before Y2K. Out Of Business is not there best album, but it still has lots of great moments to mention.

The "Intro" is blazing as DJ Scratch gets the album banging with a "Rocky" sample. E and P rap about being "Pioneers" in the rap game over a beat that works. Erick Sermon has the better production as usual with the highlight being "Symphony" with MOP and the other version "Symphony 2000" with Redman, Method Man, and newcomer Lady Luck who should have been kept off the track. "Rap Is Still Outta Control" is excellent as Busta Rhymes provides a wonderful hook. "Draw" and "U Got Shot" are two more bangers to check. Of course EPMD had to continue the Jane series with "Jane 6" that continues the series with a wild ending.

Overall EPMD's Out Of Business is a great album. EPMD knows how to change with the times and with Out Of Business they do exactly that. With EPMD you can always count on getting your money's worth.
