i would now like to take this opportunity to push the "cold vein" by cannibal ox, again. i have posted a few links to a few songs on the album. the whole album is on youtube. take a few minutes to give it a listen. it's one of the only albums that i have ever listened to that has gotten better with time. el-p is amazing
You were a still born baby/Mother didn't want you, but you were still born/Boy meets world, of course his pops is gone/What you figga?/That chalky outline on the ground is a father figure?/So he steps to the next stencil, that's a hustler/Infested with money and diamond clusters

one of those critically acclaimed albums that never went big
