When the Hieroglyphics got together to make 3rd Eye Vision, they represented the best in hip hop from the West Coast (Oakland, CA) during a time when the east coast scene was much more appealing. 3rd Eye Vision is still one of my favorite hip hop albums of all time, easily reaching classic status. Hieroglyphics members do much more on the side individually which is not as great (with the exception of Del), but for some reason when they are together, their rhymes fit perfectly with each others.
Hieroglyphics just resently released a video to air on MTV called Soweto, which, in my opinion is worthy of a grammy. But since MTV fans only like pop and terrible crap like Ja Rule's recent stuff, they don't want to listen to finely crafted hip-hop. They deserve much more praise than they are getting right now. I'd like to see them make it main steam in the next few years.
