CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Underappreciated multiplatinum seller Erick Sermon's star is falling fast. Along with Redman and the perpetually incarcerated Keith Murray, Sermon makes up the Def Squad. This 17-cut follow-up to 1998's El Niño, has Sermon, er, Onasis (named after the late Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis) recruiting more than a dozen mediocre MCs to join in the fun alongside the Squad's core members. There are a few gems--posse cut "Focus," where Sermon slurs alongside Xzibit and DJ Quik, and "Hostile," where Redman "rocks the spot more than 1001 Dalmatians." But tracks like "Can't Stop," and "Get Da Money," featuring Ja Rule, revolve around moola and ladies and not much else. Despite Onasis's empty ode to God on the "Sermon" interlude, his subject matter is too thin to sustain an album. Erick Onasis is for E double diehards only. Dalton Higgins Similarly Requested CDs

Member CD Reviews Kelly A. from MORGAN HILL, CA Reviewed on 12/27/2006... Gangsta rap tinged with R&B feat. Eazy E, Slick Rick, Redman, Ja Rule. Best tracks: "Why not?", "Get da money", "Vangundy".
CD ReviewsThe green eyed bandit is back.... J. Highsmith | Mitchellville, Maryland United States | 07/03/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "After droppin' countless EPMD albums, two solo albums, two reunion EPMD albums, a compilation album, as well as a Def Squad album in the mix, Erick Sermon (Onasis) is back. Even with the temporary name change, everything is still all good. The Def Squad Presents... Erick Onasis is one of the hottest CDs out now. The first single, featuring Slick Rick, "Why Not" is clearly off the heezee. With Erick Sermon produced CDs, you know he's going to bring a lot of the Zapp type funk as he has done on his previous work. This is clearly evident on this CD. Other gems include "Hostility" w/Redman & Keith Murray. Redman gives a memorable performance on this track as he does on 99% of the tracks he is featured on. "Get Money" w/Ja- Rule, and "Vangundy" w/ a bunch of upcoming acts that Erick is producing, as well as, the mic-doc PMD showing up for a guest appearance. The two tracks on here that no one might have expected is a tight west coast collaboration w/ DJ Quik & Xzibit entitled "Focus" and a lost Eazy E track called "So Sweet". This album features a lot of guest stars, but Erick Sermon is still able to get his point across: lyrically and musically. Any EPMD or Def Squad fan should add this CD to their collection." Erick TakefromthePastis Ian Chucoski | Coal Township, Pennsylvania USA | 07/02/2000 (3 out of 5 stars) "One of the major reasons I bought this CD was to check out the collabo's. I was some what disappointed when i heard "So Sweet" ftg. Eazy-E. The music is great but i had already heard Eazy's verse from a prior song he recorded on his "Str8 Off tha Streetz of Mutha Phukkin' Compton" album. Also Erick's song with Too $hort, "Fat Gold Chain", is the same song on Short's 1996 album, called "Buy you Some." Anyways "Focus" ftg. Quik and Xzibit is really good, "Why Not" ftg. Slick Rick is an example of two old school mc's who can still hang today. "Get da Money" ftg. Ja Rule is an average song....Basically if you're hardcore Erick Sermon fan, this album will quench your thirst. He sticks to his blueprints of making good beats without to much experimentation. Overall I feel a 'lil jipped cuz of the Eazy track and the Too Short track...but the other collabo's are pretty fresh, equalling a pretty good compilation."
