90s-alt-flavored hip-hop produced in part by Prince Paul. Same school of sound as the Beastie Boys, in that it's more about the fun, loose, and stoned vibe than bars. Dude rolls his Rs more than any other MC I've heard. Been listening to this CD for years, and just now found out that Warfield is in that band She Wants Revenge, who I've never had any interest in checking out -- anyone out there care to change my mind?

I liked She Wants Revenge. Not perfect, not original, but some good stuff in there.

as to She Wants Revenge - they are like a 80s tribute band with all original tracks. The sound is not original but the sentiments and volume are great stuff that comes from angst.
