The Originators (album)
The Originators is the fifth studio album by American hip hop duo The Beatnuts. It was released on July 23, 2002 by Landspeed Records. Likely because of its indie record label, it failed to reach the Billboard 200 like The Beatnuts' prior four full-length albums, but managed to appear on the Independent Albums chart. Its beats and party vibe were well received, but its lyrics were criticized for lacking substance in the same vein as prior releases.[3][4] Four singles were released in promotion of The Originators, but none of them charted. The album was produced entirely by The Beatnuts, but featured guest appearances by Large Professor, Cormega and Ill Bill.
