Dustyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

People's Instinctive Travels: Ham n Eggzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!

I am very much a fan of this! I'm thousands of miles away from my CDs (except Runaway Slave!) and will be taking full advantage of your kindness. Respect.

ba-ballz, though both Acey's and Onyx' albums get annoying fairly quickly due to their way-too-strict adherence to a forced style. Love Frost, but not on Acey's level.

Eww

Yep, still some of the worst rapping I've ever heard...

Took all study out of the picture and decided my ears prefer Black Sheep.

WILLIE D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, these are awesome. And unfortunately I can't re-up. '08--the good ol' days!

Not Jay-Z

I mean his voice. His voice is whiny bitch shit and I didn't like it and didn't give a shit about his lyrics or meanings. I wanted some Dr. Dre What's The Difference type bangers and what I got were ballads.

And I can kinda understand that with the lack of votes and comments with Eminem (even back then versus now). I think I would actually enjoy (and be more forthcoming about my enjoyment of) the Slim Shady LP more now than then. I remember copping it and being utterly blown away by my disappointment. ...

"Like Breezly Brewin', ya style I'mma haveta ruin." The one that has the crazy Ultramagnetics guy and that random dude who made beats for Stetsasonic.

Admittedly, I'm pretty unfamiliar with these choices...

Haha, this album's great.

I'm assuming Jeru's lyricism is the reasoning behind most of the votes, Monsieur The Big Sleep. At least for me, the Beastie Boys joint was fun and had some creativity, the other two were basically non-factors, and The Sun Rises In The East is on some serious, classic East Coast steez. I mean, My Mi...

Return of the Boom Bap and '93 'Til are so opposite...being that it's summery right now, I'm choosing Souls of Mischief, and it's probably a better album, but KRS' voice and intangible skillz can sweep any shortcomings under the rug.

Oooh, I contributed to the blowout...

But Ill Communication is dope too!

ayo, the Wu is back

I understand that it can be tempting to initially disregard Blowout Comb for its lack of skill and story, its relative unimportance to the future of the genre (it was more so harkening back to days of old), and maybe a perceived simplicity/repetitiveness/lack of interest in the beats, but god damn i...

Anything but Redman. I actually often forget about Stunts, Blunts, & Hip Hop for some reason...it's super dope. But Runaway Slave is on some top five steez for me. Everything (I mean, all the popular gangster stuff) post Runaway Slave was (HEAVILY) influenced by it. Except that, in most cases, they ...

Big L represents more skill in the standard senses, and it is an incredibly listenable albums with an absolutely stunning stream of songs midway through the album. However, none of you had heard anything like Return to the 36 Chambers when it dropped and you still haven't. From all aspects--Dirty's ...

Are we all up on the "Rest In Peace" news...?

As a devout Ultramagnetic MC's slash Critical Beatdown fan, I take offense to this.

The Japanese one.

I def listened to 36 Chambers way more initially, and now may listen to MM more...maybe. But if for nothing else, 36 Chambers should win because Midnight Marauders isn't even Tribe's best album. Or second best.

Oooh, is "Observe" the latest in the long line of "Wicked" pseudonyms?! I have some friends moving to the Bay, how/when can one listen to you spin and I'm def gonna ask you for record store recommendations. :icedit: that was obviously off topic, but I have nothing relevant to add except to say that ...

Props, Thomas!

The one that doesn't not have KRS-One. So, BDP then. Astute to the last. Speaking as one from the minority, I'd say that BDP "rocks" more, JBs "funk" more. In this case, I go with funk. In addition I gotta say I've never been completely satisfied w/any BDP album. Agreed. If I could combine the BDP ...

Def worthy of a thread. I know we have the "limited vinyl/re-issue" whatever thread, but I know a lot of people on this site either don't buy vinyl anymore or just pretty much ignore that thread for any reasons they may have. It blows my mind how many people don't buy vinyl anymore. IT'S VERY SAD!! ...

The one that doesn't not have KRS-One.
