The Pick, the Sickle and the Shovel [PA] by Gravediggaz

Pros: One of the most emotionally stimulating albums ever crafted...
Cons: Not for the mentally blind; a lot can go over your head

There are albums that you like, and then there are albums that you love. One tier above that, there are the albums that become etched in every fan's heart, and defined as "classics". In my eyes, there is one more stage above that, and these are the ...

Pros: Unbelievably great subject matter and lyrics, stellar production, guest appearances, near perfect.
Cons: None.

I consider the Gravediggaz one of the greatest Hip-Hop groups of all time. They’re lyrical mastery and intelligence put them rungs above many, many other emcees. They often don’t get the respect they deserve, however, as all three of their albums...

Pros: Stellar Lyricism, Masterful Rza Production, Intelligent, Subject Matter, Social Consciousness, Creative, Tight Guests, CLASSIC

Pros: Improved Lyrics from all members, Strong if less eclectic production

Pros: Dope producing as usual by RZA
Cons: not as good as 6 feet deep or anything else by Wu-Tang, but everyone needs extra money right RZA?

As RZA being on the top for best producers in hip-hop no question. You would only question if your not a true hip-hop fan. He works his magic again. When RZA's hair was growing and notty spirals and rotating his head like a giro on his last album with...
