My Take
Sermon is a producer's producer, and that is the highest compliment I can pay. As one-third of EPMD he helped define a thick, funk-soaked sound that I still find irresistible, but his real genius lives behind the boards rather than on the mic. The "Green-Eyed Bandit" persona is fun, yet what matters to me is how much of late-80s and 90s hip hop carries his fingerprints. He may not chase trophies or headlines, but the architects who build the foundation rarely do. I have nothing but respect for craftsmen whose influence outlasts their own fame.
