Binary Star - Masters of the Universe (2000)

Binary Star was a serious force to be reckoned with in underground hip-hop during their short lived history from 1998-2000. They were composed of One Be Lo and Senim Silla who have both released solo work since Binary Star that is also highly regarded in the underground hip hop community. Although the duo was involved in the criminal lifestyle of the ghetto they never glorified criminal activity in any of their music. In fact Binary Stars lyrics did what most hip hop doesn't and talked about the negatives involved with the lifestyle glorified in many rap lyrics. They saw hip hop as a new and legal way to escape their destructive lifestyles. Their lyrics were conscious, political, and spoke on the truth of what horrors really existed in this world of fast money, fast cars, women, and bling. This message in their lyrics became even more evident when the 2 split. In One Be Lo's 2005 release S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M. he has a song called "The Ghetto" in which he says:

You callin 9-1-1, this ain't a joke
You rollin like a blunt cause you might get smoked
The sad part about it ain't the money or the dope
The trigger man wasn't even old enough to vote

So anyway here it is for all you hip hop heads, a little piece of recent underground hip hop history, the 2nd studio release from Binary Star known as Masters of the Universe
