That's Them easily. (Not "easily" as in the second is much better than the first, mind you; they're relatively close in quality, but That's Them stands out clearly to me as the better album). Better beats, better rapping. Okay, I am listening to That's Them right now, and I have to co-sign this com...

http://cover7.cduniverse.com/MuzeAudioArt/160/168414.jpg or http://cover7.cduniverse.com/MuzeAudioArt/220/224175.jpg I've always leaned towards That's Them because the production hits a little harder(some of Shawn J-Period's best work is on there). But I'm listening to Between A Rock and a Hard Pla...

I liked Rheteric in the WRC when he was teamed with Nocando, but in that battle he had zero flow or rhythm. He was talking more than anything.

I will add Eminem post 2002. And E-40, dude just makes horrible music. And I dunno...mostly any mainstream rapper. I'll just say Young Jeezy for now.

Ok word thanks. I'll probably get 'em all with the NYGz, Blue Scholars, and MHz being lower on my priority list. I'm glad they reissued that Table Scraps shit, it was going for like 40 bucks on amazon before.

Gotta say I'm a little surprised at the responses. That's cool though, I'm a sucker for east coast raw production, hence that's why I dig Cloud 9 so much. Nine certainly has a straightforward rough style with that gruff voice, I can see how it might "ware down" on some people. You could say the same...

Classic shit. Saafir was one of the first emcees on the west coast to flip the script like that, his style was hella unique.

I could pick almost any song, I'll go with Light Sleeper.

Isn't his father the source of inspiration for his verse on Uncommon valor? He blacked out on that verse Yes and yes. He also stole the show on "Renaissance" from Hell Razah's album(which was an amazing LP). He has a penchant for that. I thought Die, Rugged Man, Die was actually a pretty damn medio...

This is still the best LP of 2009 other than Brooklynati. Each track knocks, there's only a couple remotely average songs(Danger). Nice beats and Torae holds it down on the mic, he has a good flow. My only complaint is that the beats tend to sound repetitive and somewhat similar over repeated spins,...

One of the best instrumental albums ever, I have it just below Donuts, Entroducing, and sometimes Dead Ringer depending on what mood I'm in. Smooth as hell. Those tracks with The UN on them at the end are nice.
