It would be hard for me to chose any over The Low End Theory.

BTW, that's my magazine lol. I forgot I had sent that to Vincent Lopez for the blog. My boy wrote soul and scribbled in pen on the cover - I was like how did he get that? lol

You just put me on to dozens of albums I haven't heard. Thanks man.

My favorite as of now is Organized Konfusion - OK and Godfather Don - Hazardous, but I've heard less than a tenth of those albums you've posted.

I think "Penicillin On Wax" is one of the stand-outs, at least in terms of aesthetics.

it's not in any top spot, this is just a list of what I think were the best album releases in 1991, Sylk Smoov was hardly a top album was it?

Lol, yeah i think people usually throw some backlash at that album because so many hold(ll) Don in such high regards.
I think Hazardous is a pretty boring album personally, I don't like it, but I could see how other people may like the faster paced style of it. I became a big Don stan probably around 94 and went back to peep Hazardous then and was crazy disappointed.

Anyways, I was just bumping the Two Kings In A Cypher joint last night. That first verse on Movin On 'Em is classic:

Too many great albums, and albums with some good to great stuff, to really choose. Thanks for doing threads like these Jaz, they get me back to going through stuff i forgot about. Even got me to go through the Casual and Saafir albums which i completely overlooked due to coastal bias back in the day.

It's not a classic album but I do think it's a good album, no problem Verge and yeah that TKO remix is dope.

i was aware that you only made a list of 91 albums

btw i prefer it to hazardous
but im also not a big godfather don fan. he an scaramanga were always pretty average to me while a lot of people especially here on the baby blue jock them pretty hard

Thun · Post by **Thun** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 12:52 pm

Pretty average? I'd say they stand out from the herd in a lot of important ways.

yeah i know alot of people especially on here think that. i can't even disagree when you are saying that they stand out. tehy both do have distinctive styles. - just not styles im all over like some other people. can't point my finger on it though. can say this much - overall their albums and singles from that mid/late nineties era aren't something i go back to often.
