EPMD "Going Out Of Business"

Back in they hey day there wasn't a rap duo that could mess with this pair of neanderthal monsters on the microphone. They were truly Strictly Business.

My question to you is why did Erik Sermon have more commercial success than his partner in ryhme Parrish Smith?

EPMD is an American hip hop group fromBrentwood, New York. The group's name is a concatenation of the members' names "E" and "PMD" or an acronym for "Erick and Parrish Making Dollars", referencing its members, emcees Erick Sermon ("E" aka E Double) and Parrish Smith ("PMD" aka Parrish Mic Doc). Though, during an interview on college radio station WHOV in 1987, Parrish Smith stated, "We were originally known as "EEPMD" (Easy Erick and Parrish the Microphone Doctor), but chose to go with EPMD because it was easier to say." He also stated that another reason they dropped the two "E's" was because N.W.A.'s Eric Wright was already using "Eazy-E" as his stage name. The group has been active for 28 years (minus two breakups in 1993 and 1999), and is one of the most prominent acts in east coast hip hop. Diamond J, DJ K La Boss, andDJ Scratch were DJs for the group.[1]

The word "business" is used in every title of the group's albums. Every album also has a track with "Jane" in the title.

After all these years do think these to still test there skills battling each other?

"ONYX" Whatever happened to the darkest member of the maddest rap group in history


For those of you who are in the age range of 35 to 45 I'm quite sure you're all familiar with the hit rap group Onyx. These were some of my favorite rappers they were always so angry as a matter of fact there symbol was the angry face. Many of us know that the rapper Sticky Fingerz went on to do a few film and television appearances. Also Fredro Starr has appeared in several hit movies and a few television appearances also. But whatever happened to that little dark skin lazy eyed Sonny Seeza? It's like trio rap groups always at some point seem like the third member is always the third wheel? Not to appear negative cause on a tricycle the third wheel is just as important as the other two.
