This is the defition of karma

(in Hinduism and Buddhism) the sum of a person’s actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences.

Sounds like a spin off of Lost/Found kind of. If these albums are slower and no edm/trap style beats I will probably like em.

Lost and found have a more judeo Christian understanding of it. In Hinduism and Buddhism, you don’t live die then go to heaven or hell. It’s a cyclical, constantly moving balancing act where when you die you are reborn and based on your karmic balance you become a higher or lower life form/ have a better or worse life. 

I was talking with a Buddhist Monk one day about his working as a chaplain in a prison and he offered up this beautiful gem:

The most violent and hateful among us may have been demons In their previous life. In order to come to earth as humans, they must have done something profoundly good. And the people we think of as the best of us, the mother Theresa’s and what not, they might have been close to nirvana and did something incredibly selfish. You never know where someone is on their karmic journey.

Nirvana isn’t the same as how we think of heaven but it’s close enough. It’s just really exclusive. 

An earlier version of the missing link was probably closer to the karmic concept based on the song they played when they revealed it: what comes around goes around.

Probably. That bass in that song tho was dope. One thing I really missed with icp was the bass. It always makes there songs pop so much more.

I Agree, the bass in an ICP song is very important to me. I really love the 90s era basslines ,especially 3 Rings and The Show must go on, imo they´re some of the freshest basslines i´ve ever heard.

but back to the topic, i´m lookin forward to these albums. Can´t wait for Shaggy´s though

I’m kinda hype for both of these as well. Violent j’s last solo album was meh to me. mostly because of MEC’s production. but honestly, listening to what young wicked has been producing on all of the new cds has been dope. Reminds me of old school icp with a new twist. I’m really suprised at it. I hope these solo’s are the ones that define there “new sound” for the next card.
