Hellamagnetic MC’s
July 14, 2008
Lately, I’ve been on a real good one…For some reason, about every other week for the past two months I’ve come across some gems from the Ultramagnetic MC’s. First, it was “Give the Drummer Some” and “Ease Back” from their growndbreaking LP Critical Beatdown (1988). Next I came across “Make it Happen off Funk Your Head Up (1992), and “Raise It Up” from The Four Horsemen (1993).
Listening to these singles over again made me realize just how good this four-man crew really was. Complete with their unconventional use of samples (extra funky) and abnormal lyrical content, they definitely made a sound all their own. The first heavy-hitter single “Ego Trippin’” is still regarded as a hip-hop classic, and is widely noted as the song that put them on the map.
That being said, I would like to present a conglomerate of Ultramagnetic tracks, to let you know where I’m coming from. Peep game after the jump…
