Oh,man!I have been asleep! I just got the live music album "can you hear the sound?" by da spyz and "heavy metal soul by the pound"!!I really like these! Previously,I had 3 spyz cd's ,but I didn't know about these 2!These jam! The Spyz never lied when they exclaimed that they were dope coz I'm sucking their fumes in deep and it's always a rush.Love it!

The Spyz? I thought they were over a long time ago. One of my favorite bands to hate. Thanks for the memories.

Man where in the hell is my boy 24-7Spyz?! He'll be here soon. Also my cat, Paligap. Yeah, this band is hard. Although I despise Jimi Hazel's stage name, he's a very good guitarist.

Just got a e-mail from a friend with a review of 24-7 Spyz new cd. I hear it's banging, gotta get it.

SPYZ are very much alive. Their new FACE THE DAY is tuff! Highly recommended, but you gotta cop it online from the website.

What's up Brutha B? Spyz are stll dope, uh-huh! Just a fun band to rock/thrash/and funk to.

I just picked up Harder than You which I bought when it came out in 1989 but lost recently. Found it for 3.00 at a pawn shop. What a steal! I've always dug this band and Gumbo Millenium is a classic to me. Me and my friends use to play the hell outta that one.

I guess they always reminded me of RHCP/Fishbone/Living Colour but they always came up short.

I met Jimi at the movie along with the Director and a bunch of other cats. Extremely insightful movie.

I think their pretty unique, but check out this review of Gumbo Millenium by Martin Popoff, pretty funny:

I don't know what all the hype is about these guys. I'm sure a lot of it's the usual novelty of seeing Black guys play hard rock. Anyway, Gumbo Millenium is so frustratingly schizophrenic, mixing in equal doses bad funk, tired blues, irritating sampling, rap elements, and untuneful thrash metal like the worst of Bad Brains grab-bags. Close to completely unlistenable. As a road map, turn left at Living Colours's Time's Up, strip Fishbone's Caddy of it's jazzy chrome, drop a tab, and you're halfway there.

As a writer myself, it trips me out (in a bad way) when writers get too "writerly" and fall in love with their own words/witticisms. I betcha Mr. Popoff really thought he doin' something pretty badass with that review...

Anyway, I dig Jimi Hazel's (what's his real name) guitar playing.
