History
The members of the group take their names from movie monsters from Toho's Godzilla movies. Their first full length album, Escape from Monsta Island! was released in 2003 by Metal Face Records. Most M.I.C. (Monsta Island Czars) tracks are produced by King Caesar (aka X-Ray) or King Geedorah (aka MF DOOM) (Both of whom are absent from the MF Grimm American Hunger album. Although MF DOOM was said to have been feuding with M.I.C. after his verse in "El Chupa Nibre" calling M.I.C "Midgets into Crunk" (which was replied to on MF Grimm's diss track "Book Of Daniel"), Grimm and DOOM have repeatedly stated in interviews and blog postings that there is no bad blood between DOOM or any M.I.C. members. Despite this, DOOM is no longer considered an active member of M.I.C; and it appears doubtful that he will produce any future tracks.) There was a rumor that the remaining members of M.I.C. were set to Release a new album titled 'Return To Monsta Island' sometime in 2007, this rumor was dispelled in an interview with X-Ray.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“All history attests that man has subjected woman to his will, used her as a means to promote his selfish gratification, to minister to his sensual pleasures, to be instrumental in promoting his comfort; but never has he desired to elevate her to that rank she was created to fill. He has done all he could to debase and enslave her mind; and now he looks triumphantly on the ruin he has wrought, and say, the being he has thus deeply injured is his inferior.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“In history as in human life, regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
