Re: Dr Dre "Compton" album? aug 7th

track 2 should not be on the album, and MOST DEF not start the album, GENOCIDE should have started it.period. MAYBE track 2 should have ended it actualllly, or just not be on the album. I agree.

Re: The 50 Most Important Indie Hip-Hop Albums

Good list. Crazy seeing the span from early 90s up to Roc. "27. Mac Dre – Young Black Brotha: The Album (Strictly Business, 1993) Without Dre there would be no YBB records. There would be no Khayree. No Mac Mall. No Ray Luv. I don’t think there would be a JT The Bigga Figga or even Andre Nickatina. ...

Re: 3 indefensible rappers you like...

Also, this reminds me of how a lot of rap groups in the 90's had three members: The main MC, the second MC/hypeman (who was usually much weaker than the main guy), and a DJ who did all/most of the production and cuts. House of Pain Cypress Hill Funkdoobiest These 3 are all DJ Muggs groups. Hmmmmm

Re: Black Hippy thread (Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, etc.)

I am too old and bitter to genuinely get excited over modern LP releases, but I am looking forward to this and have high-hopes. Waiting to buy a hard copy when they are available.

For those who have it - how do you rate it on the old 5 mic scale?

Yeah, I mean you could argue the placings all day but there's at least 30 songs above Know The Ledge that shouldn't be. It's pretty much a flawless rap song. Agree with this. I'd also switch the positions of "Check the Rhyme" and the "Scenario Remix" (seeing as how the OG version of Scenario appear...

A better voice than Bun B or Slim Thug?

Hell, I think some of his cohorts may have better voices than him (ASAP Rocky, Bronson, Roc Marci)
