although they turned shit, the label released some immense records
i'd say Company Flow - Funcrusher plus. this record pretty much defined independent east coast hip hop, and is the best marxist/ dystopian future/ anti commercial rap record i've ever heard.
"With hip-hop guidelines I state I never liked authority
When sales control stats I place no faith in the majority" - company Flow

Rawkus' best release was "The Big Picture" by Big L. No doubt.

mad skillz made a few dope tracks (ghostwriter, abstract skillz), but went wack pretty quickly. the last good record that rawkus released was agent orange by pharoe monch. that shit came out at the beginning of this 'war on terror' bullshit, and had a powerful message, but got fuck all radio time and got slept on by the majority.
