Travelling at the Speed of Thought
editWhich version of this is the one on the British Streetsounds compilation LP Hip Hop Electro 16? This was, incidentally, the Ultras' first UK release of any kind.
While I'm here, shouldn't Ced Gee have his own entry? He was involved in In Full Gear as well.
Getting rid of the Trivia piece?
editWell, seeng as they get sampled all over the shop, how about a 'famous sample' piece or something? While I'm at it, Housing Things alse gets sampled by Jega on "Aerodynamic", that turns up on a Planet Mu sampler if not an album of his...
Where is Paul C?
editThis article completely ignores the contribution of the late Paul C, without whom this album would never have become the classic it is.
- Ced Gee and TR Love Produced most of it. Paul C. produced Give The Drummer Some. MC Bucky
Move to fit typo
editThe true way to write this group name is with an apostrophe like on their covers. So this page should be move to "Ultramagnetic MC's". Actualy "Ultramagnetic MC's" redirect to "Ultramagnetic MCs": the good redirect to the bad. Lacrymocéphale
- Standard English grammar would not support this contention. Kittybrewster ☎ 10:08, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
So what about "Standard English grammar". This is hiphop moron, and if you haven't noticed they spell and say things incorrectly on purpose. Jesus, seriously? You use a grammar argument? Dumbfuck....
It's a proper noun, so it should be spelt with an apostrophe. 'The Beatles' and 'The Pharcyde' aren't grammatically correct either but nobody would change them to 'Beetles' and 'Far Side'.
- I'll bet it's a lot like Booker T. & the M.G.'s and how they spell their name, even though it's wrong as all get out. Another commonality is the awesomeness of the music. - Team4Technologies (talk) 19:10, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
Project Polaroid missing
editI don't see Project Polaroid on here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Polaroid
Is Kool Keith still part of Ultramagnetic MCs?
editIf Keith "originally" founded the group, but the group is now "composed of" three people (none of whom are Kool Keith), that means he is not a member. Right? But there's an image of him performing with the band in 2011, so I'm not sure if that's accurate. Submersible (talk) 00:35, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Ultramagnetic MCs → Ultramagnetic MC's – The group's name is spelled/rendered with an apostrophe on every single one of their releases. See Discogs. -- Forty.4 (talk) 17:26, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose—Both spellings seem to be commonly used. HipHopDX and The Source, which are both publications specializing in hip hop music, both favor the original spelling, as does Sputnikmusic. As a counterpoint, Allmusic, Pitchfork, and The Quietus all favor the apostrophe. These are all sources considered reliable by Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Sources, unlike Discogs, which is explicitly rated as unreliable. Overall, it seems like there isn't a singular consensus on the spelling and I don't see any reason to make the move. Spookyaki (talk) 19:06, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, I wasn't citing Discogs as a source, I was pointing to the album covers, vinyl labels, etc, where you can check the band's actual name, which consistently includes the apostrophe across all of their releases. That's the reason for the move. -- Forty.4 (talk) 01:54, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
