If you like your hip-hop dirty, gritty, lo-fi and cynical, then look no further than Halifax, where the Sebutones dwell. 50/50 first came out on wax some 10 years ago and was later re-issued, so you have little excuses for missing it; still, looking back from today's perspective, it's kind of funnily nostalgic to find on a small DIY label Metaforensics, with Sixtoo now signed to Ninja Tune/Bully and Buck 65 to Warner Bros. This was their only work together (aside from the ultra-obscure Psoriasis tape), each later taking different paths with different outcomes, yet for those of us who first witnessed them in the 90s, I'm sure they were the fucking perfect team of geeks. Not gonna pull the "revolutionary" tag, but as with other acts like Co Flow and cLOUDDEAD, they set some milestones and put pride in what they did, not trying to sound this or that way, but only like themselves. Therefore, something to be respected, noted down and cherished, excepting perhaps in the hands of the hater. This goes out to my puberty.

din pacate nu caut lucruri amuzante/relaxante cu orice pret, iar "ascultabil" e un termen cam relativ.

oricum, mersi de cei 2 centi.
