Binary Star
 

Late 90's/early 00's hip hop duo. Their second album, Masters of the Universe is one of my favourite hip hop albums.

So yeah, pretty awesome. Anyone else like?

I might get Masters of the Universe. My buddy on another forum sent me a few of their things and I dug it. I'll try it.

I just got Masters of the Universe. I can't wait to listen to it.

I listened to Masters of the Universe a few days ago, and I was pretty disappointed. I liked the beat or whatever it's called (I have no knowledge of musical terms, sorry), but I hated the lyrics. Every song on the album, with the exception of the 10-15 second intro's, one song about a werewolf or something, and one song about a girl, consisted of rapping about how good they think they are, how mainstream sucks, etc. This wouldn't be a problem for me if it was only a few songs, but the entire thing felt like a build up for something better, something great that wasn't there. I really wish that they would make another album, it's a shame that Masters of the Universe (Masters of the Universe is basically Waterworld with more tracks added.) is there only album.

Was about to make a thread, so I'll just bump this.
WTF is up with Binary Star original copies selling for upwards of fifty dollars? **** I wish I still had mine in good condition.
Also, can anyone recommend any of One Be Lo's solo albums?

I listened to two and I deffinitly enjoyed S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M. more. I really wana get MAsters of the universe but I keep forgetting to.

Masters of the Universe is ledgendary sons.

don't tell me it's over/......

I don't know why I didn't see this thread but damn, Binary Star is fantastic!
One.Be.Lo specifically has great flow and good lyrics, what more could you want from a local emcee (the duo is from Pontiac, Michigan).
I think he plays in Ann Arbor at the Blind Pig sometimes but I haven't seem him yet. I'm not sure if the two of them perform together anymore but Masters of the Universe is a great album, I wouldn't hesitate to see them.
