Chubb Rock
I was bumping "Return Of The Crooklyn Clan" today and realized that I love evey performance I've heard from him but have never checked for his albums.
So what should I be checking for? What kind of producers has he worked with in the past? Thanks.

the good is chubb rock when on top of his game and laced with a good beat is one of the best to ever get on a mic
the bad is he rarely rhymed over anything of note and he was inconsistent
because of this all his albums are good but very uneven and VERY VERY looooooong
'the one' is probably the cd id most advise getting because the songs that are good are outstanding...but i believe 'and the winner is' is his most consistent and best album
as for production most of it was done in crew...included was red hot lover tone solo production as well as his earliest trackmasterz work
where chubb is at his best is guesting on others songs
altho most people will disagree and say crooklyn II was his finest moment imo his verse on kick em in the grill is his shioning moment...he spits unbelievable fire on it

To be honest, i'm not familiar with much of his stuff, just the obvious tracks - 'Treat Em Right' etc

Honestly, I don't think Chubb Rock has ever come totally wack. He has some stellar tracks, a lot of good ones, and some weak tracks, but Chubb always spits enough fire to keep you from snatching the shit off the stereo. That being said, his best album is And the Winner is... (don't know about the different colored writing, though), followed by The Mind and then his first one (which I believe is just called Chubb Rock and Hitman Howie Tee.) His worst-sounding but best-titled album is I Gotta Get Mine Yo! (Only Book of Rhymes but even this has some gems on it, like "Don't Drink the Milk."

OK I looked into the different colored writing thing a little more, and I was remembering which album I was looking at wrong--the album in question was actually "I gotta get mine, yo". One copy had blue writing and the other had purple (I believe). if the album is so terrible though, I probably won't even bother with researching the difference until I run out of other, better things to buy.
My guess is that one is an import version or something.

They were both new and wrapped? There can sometimes be printing variations from different print runs.waldo ptarmigan wrote:OK I looked into the different colored writing thing a little more, and I was remembering which album I was looking at wrong--the album in question was actually "I gotta get mine, yo".

You can get this album used all over, though. $6 is a decent enough price for it.

Next time I'm at that store I'll check for any other differences.Reggie wrote:They were both new and wrapped?
