Members Kool Keith, Ced Gee, TR Love and Moe Love released their debut album Critical Beatdown, produced by Paul C., in 1988 and inspired the world of hip hop with their original sound of unorthodox sampling, polysyllabic rhymes, and bizarre lyrical imagery.

Kool Keith went on to work with many other groups and solo projects including The Cenobites, Dr Octagon, Masters of Illusion and Dr. Dooom

Their work has been often sampled, most notably in the Prodigy song “Smack My Bitch Up”

All hail Critical Beatdown, but The Four Horsemen is really, really solid record. It almost amazes me how overlooked that album is.

Critical Beatdown is one of the best albums ever from the best year in hip-hop history ever, 1988. That album is ridiculously good.
