I used to spin this 12" a lot ... and still love it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vlGnMbqByJs

Pharoahe Monch is arguably my favorite MC of all time, but 1998 is the cut-off point. The Simply II Positive demos were recorded in the late 80s, so he was great for roughly a decade - you can't ask for much more than that. Guest appearances prior to 1999 were few and far between. It's a shame that...

OK "Prisoners at War" OK "Bring It On (Buckwild Remix)" OK "Invetro" OK "Stray Bullet" OK "13" "Metal Thangz" w/ O.C. & Street Smartz "Oh No" w/ Mos Def "Tight (Beatminerz Remix)" w/ Rah Digga & Lord Have Mercy "Tender (OK Remix)" w/ Prince Po & Attica Blues "Murder By Syntax" w/ Prince Po & DJ Spooky

The new tracks sounds okay ... beat is nice, QBert did his thang, and Kool Keith sounds better than on recent releases. Does anyone have all of the unreleased doc oc songs that came with the 20th anniversary box set that dropped last year? Here's 3 bonus tracks not on the OG release: https://www.fil...

"Mecca And The Soul Brother" by a mile. PR's beats were awesome on "Mecca..."! With his production, he defined the sound of the following years, plus there were no shitty R&B choruses on it as far as I remember. And last but not least, Puba wrote PR's rhymes, so he sounded much better. I always pref...

good read ... and the latest beats are nice, too

his first 3 albums are equally great ... love em all ... I listen to all of em once a month at least.

voted for DIAD because I played it the most ... it was my first choice when I was blunted and had to take a break from listening to Illmatic and Stress in 1994. great times back then...

I came through with a crate of Mobb Deep shit and did a 2½ hour Tribute Mix of all my favorite 90’s Mobb Deep joints.

these are your favorite mobb deep tracks of the 90s? really???

and why did you add this large picture of j-love?

Even Eric B can scratch better than you.

Didn't listen to most of the stuff on your list. Whatever, Elucid "Valley of Grace", Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire "Brainiac" and the Cryp One EP are nice. Ain't Showbiz & AG's "Take It Back" an official album? By the way, 2 of my favorite EPs this year are Crimeapple "Metralleta" and Lil Eto & V Don "Om...

Has-Lo's "A Singular Point of Light" mixtape, and it's not even close...

didn't listen to KMD's BB for years ... used to play it a lot in 94, but since Doom went solo on Fondle Em, I prefered his early solo works. Either you really are Bobbito or I'm calling bullshit on you listening to Black Bastards in 1994 when it only existed as a secret promo cassette within indust...

R&R still sounds very good nowadays, while Goodfellas suffered from being the follow-up of the greatest Show & A album, plus there were too many guests on it - instead of featuring all those guys, Show shouldn't have retired from emceeing... didn't listen to KMD's BB for years ... used to play it a ...

monch followed by black thought...

I really like the mellow vibes of 81 & 78 and the menacing atmosphere of 82 ... oh, and the drums on 79 are real powerful ... well done!

no ced gee?

album aged well. it was one of the better 97 albums for sure ... although OK's first 2 albums set a very high standard, "the equinox" was a worthy follow-up. I would rate if 7/10. for those who think the skits are annoying, here's an edited version that leaves the skits out and includes a couple of ...

more heat: Redman "Tonite's Da Night" (Redman Remix) Redman "Blow Your Mind" (Remix) Redman ‎"Time 4 Sum Aksion" (Erick Sermon Remix) Redman "Funkorama" (Double Green Remix) Slick Rick "It's A Boy" (Extra P Remix) Nas "Life's A Bitch" (Buckwild Remixes) The Roots "Distortion To Static" (At Ease Mix,...

You already listed some of my favorites, I'd add the following ones: Organized Konfusion "Last Piece Of Chicken" & "Walk Into The Sun" (OK Remixes) Kool G Rap "Fast Life" (Buckwild Remix) Artifacts "The Ultimate" (Showbiz Remix) Dr. Octagon "Blue Flowers" (Prince Paul Remix) Nas "The World Is Yours"...

just listened, great show!

haha ... asking an old wigger who listens to trash like blabbamouf for real hip hop approval in 2017 ... this shit's definitely outta control

good album, so far one of the best in 2017. love the production, billy's rhymes are on point, too. could get along w/o the barrie mclain singing, especially on the googie collab.

what's the deal with the new armand hammer album?

Just listening to it on my iPod ... besides the full versions that have been mentioned in the OG post and the 3 great bonus tracks, there's also complete versions of "Watch Ya Head [Brewin Mix]" (with 3 verses) and "The Circle Pt. 1" (with the 3rd verse/also featured on the Fondle Em LP) on this rel...

No "Colors" OST??? Hmmm...

IMO, the best tracks are featured on "AIDS" ... "Decisions", "Street Life", "Love & Affection", "Blood", "The Hustle", "Nasty Hoes", "America", "The Yearn"...

yeah, you forgot to add organized. would've been my choice...

right now, i'm listening to an old g rap mix i did back in the days ... "rhyme tyme" is one of my all-time faves when it comes to b sides

gang starr "credit is due"
black sheep "still in the ghetto"
black moon "murder emcees"
gang starr "so wassup"

ultramag had lots of great exclusive b side tracks in the 80s like "mentally mad" or "a chorus line"

i bet wicked will help us with an all original vinyl b side mix...

Organized's "Bring It On" by far. One of the illest Buckwild beats, plus both MCs displayed even more insane flows by creatively changing their cadences. One of my favorite remixes of all time.

yeah, it's definitely harder than the first one. 5 choices would be perfect.

wanted to vote for brand nubian's "one for all", but since "a wolf in sheep's clothing" had no votes until now, I had to change my opinion. such a great album...

I went with "Vagina Diner". Amazing beats and varied production Large Professor in his prime plus great rhymes by one of my favorite emcees from the early 90s make this an almost perfect album for me. Loved it since day one, and continue to listen to it every now and then..l

Prince Paul ‎"A Prince Among Thieves" or The Roots, followed by Doom, Pharoahe Monch and Mos Def. Except for the MF Doom and Roots albums, I haven't listened to any album from the list in recent years...
