American Hunger by MF Grimm was a masterpiece of underground street rap. It was completely honest, full of insight as well as learning, as well as provided with the force as well as power of a hip hop master. So on the one hand, it makes me extremely pleased to revisit it in the type of an album of remixes of tunes from the original triple album. On the other, it makes me unfortunate that I’m hearing this instead of new material from the excellent Grimmm. I hope that, like his former partner MF Doom, Grimm’s finest days aren’t just in the rearview.
