I got hip to Hiero when I was about twelve, I was told that that was real hip-hop right there not whatever I was listening to at the time. After hearing "93 Til Infinity", I am still dispute that statement being that there is room for just about anyone in the hip-hop culture. Take the Hiero members on this record : The Souls sound kind of wacky and off-key as "Let Em Know" ramps up but "Live and Let Live" , you can tell that they are not just a gang of jokers. "93 Til Infinity" is a record revolving around a group of misfits from Oakland as they document the pressures that they face ("Live And Let Live") in a semi-moral-less environment (peep the robbery story in "What A Way To Go Out") while still exhibiting fun with youthful exuberance ("A Name I Call Myself", "93 Til Infinity") hard to recapture. The only drawbacks? As with any group hip-hop record, there are just too many voices for the average listener to follow a cohesive narrative and just as well the run time was bloated due to all the members on the record. A great intro into the Hieroglyphics, but after "93...", I think I will stick more to giving an ear to their solo efforts.
