Prince Paul is still very much alive. It was Gravediggaz member Poetic who died


But yeah, Gravediggaz were dope

6 feet deep = greatest rap album ever IMO

6 feet deep the tune itself is amazing. One of the oddest flows i've heard. I've only got 6 feet deep, what other albums are recommended?

The pick, the sickle and the shovel and nightmare in a-minor are both great albums. not as good as 6 feet deep though

I saw them play that out on The Word way back and was blown away, I couldn't get the album quick enough. Never got to see them live, the opportunities were there, I wasn't, grrr...

Edit: I've just realised you've probably never seen The Word :lol:
Early 90's brit TV at it's best, also had Nirvana play live amongst others.

From the mists of the darkness I come with this
Hittin straight, to the chest, like a Primatene mist
Ryzarector, YAH, the fanatical type
I'm like a bat, in the night, when it's time to take flight
Here I am, in the flesh, and yes I love sess
I'm obsessed, by the sounds, the track posess
Intellectual, killer, special majestical
Ropin up the devils have em hangin from my testicles

Still got the 6 feet deep on vinyl, great album.

The album '6 Ft Deep' was released in the UK under its originally intended title '******'

It also has the bonus track 'Pass the Shovel' on it

The second album needs remastering or something - its sounds awful, even by RZAs standards.

Gravediggaz is all about BANG YOUR MUTHAFUKIN HEAD :lol:

MOBB DEEP, THA ALKOHOLIKZ are on the same levels in my opinion
