Both incredible albums, but 'Stunts, Blunts & Hip Hop' has the edge for me - I rate it up there as one of the top 3 Hip Hop albums of all time, for me.

This is incredibly hard...but runaway slave

Runaway Slave easily for me

runaway slave is so overrated...its just an ok album imo...stunts is so much better on every possible level and is on the short list of best produced albums of all time

SB & HH for me.

SB &HH is slightly better but i disagree with runaway slave being overrated..

the exact opposite of this comment , lol

SB+HH has a few standouts, rarely listen all the way thru. Runaway Slave is classic back to front (IMO)

Gotta go with SB & HH. Definitely a more complete album than Runaway Slave.

It's better produced and although Runaway Slave is better lyrically, it's not like Diamond was any slouch on the mic. Plus there's a Brand Nubian guest spot.

Not only are they two classic Diggin' in the Crates debut albums from '92, but they were also first released on the very same day. September 22nd, 1992.

Diamond D's What U Heard video marked Big L's first time appearing in a music video, back in '93.

And years ago, KRS-One said to A.G. that Runaway Slave was one of his favorite albums.

these are getting harder and harder (pause).
i went with SB & HH cause it's more consistant but i like my favorite songs on runaway slave more than my favorite songs on SB & HH.
both are classics though.

Runaway Slave

kimani · Post by **kimani** » Sun Aug 02, 2009 8:01 pm

These two albums are definitely back to back on my list of favorite albums, despite their differences the overall quality always struck me as remarkably similar. Gonna vote Runaway Slave cause I'm in a funky mood.

Runaway Slave

I was always a "Stunts, Blunts & HH" man.....

both joints is timeless and helped cement DITC as one of the greatest crews eva, but I just always ran "Sb & HH" back way more than "runaway slave", can't really say why...

Runaway Slave for me, has aged better

Runaway Slave is quite possibly the least pretentious, least affected, and thus most successful "concept" rap album.

It is the first rap album to make a serious attempt to analyze ghetto life in a non-glamorizing, non-politicizing, non-judgmental manner.

It is a seriously underrated album. Fuck what you heard.

word... definitely notice this in lyrics to tracks like'He Say She Say', and the title cut amongst others. even so, it doesn't seem like a conscious attempt at a 'concept' album to me, more like that's how it turned out...no big deal either way, really. classic album. (it could possibly do without 'Party Groove'. bit cheesy, and god knows why the instrumental to that tune is included as a bonus, out of all the tracks)

Don't even get me started on the production.....

Yeah - when I want to listen to something raw, 'Runaway Slave' is a perfect album. That said, 'Stunts, Blunts, and Hip Hop' gets played to a lot more.
