EPMD Week Part 2: Crossover
CLICK IMAGES TO ENLARGE
From ‘Rap Is Outta Contol’ to ‘Crossover’ to ‘Stay Real’, yep, Eric and Parish were not for selling out. In fact we’re pretty sure they kept it riggedy real from start to finish. Here’s a little treat from the 1992 ‘Crossover’ 12″, ‘Brothers From Brentwood L.I.’ which didn’t appear on any albums and the hard to find ‘Trunk Mix’ of ‘Crossover’.

Always loved the Brothers… joint. For most crews, introducing the word ‘Bozack’ into the vernacular would be an instant career-best, but the way Parrish flips it into ‘Bohey-ohey-ozack’ is straight transcendant.
There was another remix of “Crossover” that was dope as well, “Brothers From Brentwood, L.I.” is an all time fave, love the “Blind Alley” loop and the Nice and Smooth “massive meltdown bring the red tape” sample and of course E and P’s rugged rhymes.
i still have this. ‘brothers from brentwood l.i.’ would put a lot of the so called random rap efforts to shame. a corker of a record. ‘crossover’ is crap though.
