<b>NOTE:</b> This limited-edition version of Out of Business comes with a second CD of EPMD's greatest hits. Call EPMD old, but call them consistent. EPMD's Out of Business is rather like their previous effort, Back in Business</I>--agreeable, accessible, but deathly unexciting. EPMD can always be depended upon to put out albums with a string of cool club hits and mild filler--they invented that formula on both Back and Out. But at this point in their career, EPMD's LPs feel weighted down by their molasses pacing and rhyme-by-numbers lyrics (basically, the same styled verbals EPMD's been kicking for over a decade now). They find brief moments of fire on tracks like "You Got Shot" (blazing with its hook taken from Ol' Dirty Bastard) and "Jane 6," which thumps with surprising force thanks to its reworked "Tramp" sample. Nevertheless, even "Symphony 2000," with cameos from MOP, Redman, and Method Man feels flat, indicative of Out of Business as a whole. They might still be old-school masters, clocking millennium ducats, but long-time fans may not feel paid in full. --Oliver Wang

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Certainly good but not their best.......2005-04-21

Another reviewer said it best after the breakup EPMD just wasn't the same. Even with that if your an EPMD fan you should have this in your collection and there are some cool songs. Also don't bother getting the limited edition. The greatest hits CD seems to have been remixed and just doesn't do justice to their original hits.

4 out of 5 stars The greatest hits worths the money........2002-01-29

The special edition from EPMD's latest and maybe last work "Out of Bussines" is good. In fact the highlight is the 2nd CD - Greatest Hits - in wich you can listen some of their greatest sucess. Well, I've only listened to a few of their songs, but I always read that they were good and represented the NYC underground. No doubt, in the beggining they sounded raw, with tight beats, courtesy of ms. Erick Sermon.

But when you listen their last album, u feel they changed a lil'bit, in fact it's a boring CD, they seem tired...They don't rhyme with the same fury & passion...

But if u don't know their work, u betta copy it, cause it really worths your money.

4 out of 5 stars Buy it. You'll like it........1999-08-11

EPMD is back wtih another smooth-flowing album. It's just tight all the way around. I've always been a fan of EPMD because their rhymes make sense and they talk about stuff that is easy to relate to. For example, the old hits like Please Listen to My Demo and It's My Thang make you wannna kick back and recite a lil freestyle of your own. And of course the new tracks(Symphony 2000, Pioneers...) are hype as well. They have always had good hooks and this album is no exception. Buy it for the love of rap that you can ride to and understand. Eric & Parrish makin dollars and makin hits too. Peace.

4 out of 5 stars Eric and Parish Makin Dollars again.......1999-07-27

One bangin track after another. What could be better than a new album with a second disc of their best joints? Peep the symphony 2000. It is off the hook. This is a better but for the money than to spend your scrilla on the double instead of getting the single disc and then buyin the greatest hits when it comes out by itself.
