never heard the album but i am going to go out on a limb and guess that this thread is filled with some obscene hyperbole

i feel like the story and circumstances surrounding black bastards has elevated it to a straotosphere within the golden age hip hop community that it doesnt deserve....mr hood is far superior to BB on every level imo

I think Casual was a great rapper with fantastic production behind him on Fear Itself. Kurious was mildly entertaining with fantastic production on Constipated Monkey. altho i would rate kurious slightly higher than "mildly entertaining" i basically agree with this and there is no better example of...

3. black moon high points are better than anything on the list but for a classic album there is some borderline weak shit on that record 2. diamond put too many songs on his record otherwise it might be a top 5 all time album for me also the interludes were horrible 1. pharcyde had a lot of songs as...

That Blahzhay Blahzhay album had like 2 good songs. yeah danger and the title track...but it didn't really have any bad songs either...the rhymes got super stale after a few tracks but pf cuttin is tremendous on the one and twos....that alone makes it a nice listen...its a thousand times better tha...

1 Liquid Swords 2 Duel of the Iron Mic 3 Living In the World 5 Cold World i agree on gold....one of the worst tracks...but the above four tracks i will put up with the very best wu songs of all time....all of them are light years better than anything else on the album i gotcha back and bible i dont ...

i actually think liquid swords is overrated as well....dont get me wrong GREAT album....but i think its nuts to put it ahead of cuban linx or ironman as it seems the majority does...the first half of it is all world but it falls off after that....my biggest criticism of it...especially compared to c...

def their best....its the only album that has beats to stand up to ra's rhymes with the exception of the title track the paid in full beats are pretty vanilla and have aged like a hunts point crack whore follow the leader is a straight up emceeing masterpiece a how to book on rhyming but the beats o...

thread would be much better if people stopped posting audio only youtubes of her

Hell on Earth has Prodigy rapping at his peak and is much more cohesive from a production standpoint. The spooky, ethereal tone leaves a more lasting impression than the scattershot vibes of their sophomore album. It's the most "Mobb Deep-sounding" album in their catalog, and what a new listener sh...

ironman was and is insane...imo other than 36 chambers its the best wu album....and easily ghost's best album...but even if you dont think that its light years better than tical or return to the 36 which were in the string of "wu releases prior"

1996 - i used to look at atliens (august 96) asd the day the music "died"
as for a long time that was imo the last no brainer true classic in hop-hop
and maybe it still is

amazing thread so far

dilla might be the most overrated artist in any medium ever

ragtime is not a jamar solo track....in fact it includes what is puba's all time best verse and one of the best ever period

"you want a beat like this?.....check a stack of otis redding"

that was outstanding....good lookin out

i dont think you can overstate how strong the hype was for illmatic...the level of anticipation for it remains unprecedented to this day...the only album that i can remember that came even close was wu tang forever Doggystyle hype was crazy. That was the first time I remember pre-sales (3 million w...

neek the exotic comes out in spring of 92 on fakin the funk then scores unsigned hype six years later in the spring of 98

im way late on this but how much of a sound quality improvement was the black bastards 2008 reissue

all the bonus stuff has been available for free on the internet for at least 10 years

their debut as it compares to the rest of their catalog is kinda similar to how 36 chambers is to wu's subsequent releases...its got that gritty dusty four track demo sound and for me that puts it on a pedestal by itself It's a time thing. Usually, the albums you listen to first are more nostalgic....
