Living Legends

Editor's Review:

As their back catalog proves, you can expect nothing but pure entertainment from these hip-hop henchmen. Both as solo artists and producers, and together in a crew, The Living Legends (Eligh, Bicasso, Aesop, Arata, Murs, Sunspot Jonz, The Grouch, Scarub and luckyiam.PSC) are relentless when it comes to new music, providing some of the finest underground hip-hop that you can get your greedy little hands on. Their new masterpiece Creative Differences is no exception to the rule. They deliver with quick lyricism, anywhere from deep emotional thoughts to comical concepts shown in "Fill My Drink Up" or The Grouch letting loose talking about how he's from Burrito Truck Village in "No Strings." I don't know exactly where that is, but it sounds delicious. "Creative Differences" gives a shout out to Aesop Rock and pretty much lays down the friendship level that you could expect from the bunch. Groups like this have earned the honest respect from the underground scene with their noble lyrics and modest styles; no songs about guns, 40s and wack-ass bitches, just the hard top shelf stuff that you can never afford at the bar, brought to you at a reasonable price for the reasonable type of thinker. If you are a fan of The Grouch or any of the rest of the crew there is no reason why this wouldn't fit in perfectly with the rest of your collection.
