Yea its been news for a min... It reely sucks... I dont blame him tho & hes one who worked so hard to drop quality hip-hop & gain a solid following & longevity... Along with Esham!! Even hes about to retire from makin music for good... Both creative artists from 2 different worlds!! So sad to hear...
Ive just started getting into Equiptos solo stuff.. think i had all the machine gun alibi and horns and holos with him and Nicky but i never really peeped his solo shit til now.. I had the cigarellos album cuz my home caught it at a concert when Equipto was throwing it in the crowd and i stole it from him but i didnt really like it that much just like 4 or 5 songs on it.. Ive been listening to his Ilyich album and im fuckin lovin it and im liking the Mike Meezy and Equipto songs too... what are some other albums of Equipto i should check out? anything that is similuar to Ilyich whould be dope..
The K.I.M. Albums are dope, behind the rhyme is cool, it has some sick features like mac dre, b-legit, nickatina and some others. Ilyich is a good one, also peep out the bored stiff albums, and 4eva in a day.

You really cant go wrong with any of his albums, Vintage Volumes 1-3 are great, all of his collabo projects, 4 Ever In A Day, Sketches From The Inside Out, also Bored Stiff's albums and his first project Shades Of Rhythm all classics IMO
yeah i ment to say 4 or 5 songs where just OK in my opinion.. I liked the two songs with Andre Nickatina a lot... the songs with Smoov e, San Quinn and First Degree was ok too but i would skip over the rest of the songs mostly
Forever in a day has this song called Love Changes that's dope. Equpito makes so many songs that you really gotta search for the ones you like . KIM has some good songs on it too .

I liked Behind The Rhyme
Swear true story he had this guy straight from Japan who flew all the way out here to hang out with him for like 6 days Queezy has the mosy loyal fans out of anybody in the bay area
His fans started him a kickstart and paid for him to go on one last tour before he retired niggas from Europe were throwin in and he didn't go that way for the tour
That's shit that a lot of these young artist will never witness
Good thread, he has hella other songs on iTunes, nobody mentioned all the horns and halos with nickatina, and midnight machine gun rhymes and alibis is classic album
That was my friends copy of that tape. I had borrowed it from him about 5 years ago. He recently asked me for it and I could not find it and this February found it sitting in my desk drawer. I gave it back to him and he sold it to dude from Finland who posted it.
I know...cool story but I had almost lost it forever. Haha I think I had posted a pic of that tape a while back on the "rare bay area items thread".
Regardless that tape is super grimy but its got some classic material
"B4: Equip - 1 Of Those Days" is my all time favorite Equipto song. He raps over a loop from Gil Scott Herron "Angola Louisiana". Great track.
