"Do you want more" came out before Illadelph but it was a live album. That's why I considered it the first.

Furry muff. It doesn't sound live to me. Thought their only live album was The Roots Come Alive.

Illadelph is their best album though mate, not a fan of their more recent stuff.

36 chambers. It's gotta be the best debut ever.

The GZA's verse on Protect Ya Neck is classic!

The Wu is too slammin for these Cold Killin labels
Some ain't had hits since I seen Aunt Mabel
Be doin artists in like Cain did Abel
Now they money's gettin stuck to the gum under the table
That's what ya get when ya misuse what I invent
Your empire falls and ya lose every cent
For tryin to blow up a scrub
Now that thought was just as bright as a 20-watt light bulb
Should of pumped it when I rocked it
*****z so stingy they got short arms and deep pockets
This goes on in some companies
With majors they're scared to death to pump these
First of all, who's your A&R
A mountain climber who plays an electric guitar
But he don't know the meaning of dope
When he's lookin for a suit and tie rap
that's cleaner than a bar of soap
And I'm the dirtiest thing in sight
Matter of fact bring out the girls and let's have a mud fight

I just love da mystery of chessboxin.

Raw 'm'a give it to ya
Wit no trivia
Raw like cocaine straight from bolivia
My hip hop will rock and shock the nation
like the emancapation proclamation.

furry muff is a variation on fair enough, lol. I think they were unsigned when Organix came out. I haven't heard it.
