Historians will rate 2 Skinnee J's alongside prohibition, communism and esperanto as one of the great failed experiments of the 20th Century. Were they doomed from the start? They lived in New York, but did New York even notice? They rapped, but weren't down with J or P. They rocked, but didn't know the Strokes. Their first record label cared more about cocaine and strippers, their second about Justin Timberlake. Yet against these odds, this motley collection of fashion forward misfits persevered for over a decade, bringing kick ass music and heart stopping shows to grateful mobs around the country. To see them was to love them. They were claimed as the hometown band by cities up and down the East coast and across the Midwest. The put out EP's and CD's of inventive rock drenched rap for the mind body and soul. They made their mothers proud.

Sadly, everything must come to an end, preferably before the introduction of Jar Jar Binks. By the end of 2002, the writing was on the wall. The industry was steadfast in their refusal to acknowledge the group's inherent right to be world wide mega stars with celebrity friends and supermodel lovers. The boys were becoming men. The landlord was knocking. Rather than meander towards oblivion, our heroes decided to booby trap the hatch and blow the ship to high heaven in a colorful polyester blast. The night of July 17, 2003, they lit the fuse.

This 3 disc set is all that remains......
